3 day weekend..
This is the start of me only working 4 days a week, what the heck am i going to do with 3 days off... i'm so depressed...
First of all i'm getting my resume updated.. but again since were in a recession who the heck is hiring right now, someone has to be.. Then i guess i'll clean and do laundry.. Play with Micah... Can't go shopping no money... and right before Christmas this had to happen... I need to get out of this mood, been like this for a month now, don't even want to get out of bed anymore....

You always enjoy being home with Micah and now's the time to make the best of that time together. You can take him to some parks and do some fun stuff that doesn't cost anything. You can go by a river or creek and throw rocks in the water!! Kids love that one! Enjoy your time at home. Make a really good meal. visit some family or friends that you've been wanting to visit. Make some Christmas gifts!!

Diana's right about making Christmas gifts - you could make ornaments for family that focused around a picture of Micah - that would be something they would cherish.
Several years ago, there was a Christmas that I just could not afford presents, so what I "gave" that year was my time - I helped with projects around the house that family members had kept putting off, cleaned a couple of attics and basements, and did some snow shoveling for another family member. Even though it was physical gifts, I think the thought was appreciated. |

I agree with Diana and Dobie. Enjoy your time with Micah. Money is not the most important thing. I have had money and other times, had no money. In the end,
it didn't really change me or my life, except that I worried about not having it. I have been happier at times when there was no money, and vice verse. My daughter has given me homemade gifts often. One year, she took the childrens' hands, dunked them in finger paints, and made a tile from each one. I keep them out as a kitchen decoration. She painted a Happy Birthday Grandma sweatshirt for me one year. It's one of my most prized possessions! One year, the children cut out their own pictures of flowers from magazines and glued them on a small cardboard box. I keep some of my papers in it. It doesn't even have a bottom, but I love it. You can bake cookies or cook something delicious that can be frozen. Making chocolate is a lot of fun and very easy. Make the best of it Haley. Life is way too short to aggravate yourself about money. Money has a way of coming and going. JMO!!!

Aww Thanks Judy, i needed to hear that, i will make the best of this, so what if we don't have that many Christmas presents this year, we got Micah and my family that's all that matters right?
God will get us thru this bad time. I pray... See what happen when they took God out of the Government, he's punishing all of them now!!

Enjoy your extra time with Micah - he will grow so fast! Remember - this too shall pass - things will change, they always do. We make it somehow. You will too.
