pegkerrI had thought that the school decision had been abandoned by the school district, but it turns out they've just delayed the vote until September.
Rob is about to run out of unemployment.
Whenever it rains, it leaks inside my car even harder now.
The house needs repainting desperately. If the school board vote does go through in September, we would HAVE to repaint (and also fix the kitchen ceiling) if we want to sell in order to move. Hard to do that if Rob doesn't have a job.
Delia needs new braces, and we can't afford them. Hell, we can't afford Fiona's, but somehow we're paying for them.
Today seems very hard.
It is difficult to stay hopeful. I think I've been doing pretty well at holding together, but geez, we're going on almost a year now of Rob not having a job.
I am so very tired of trying to stay brave.
Edited to add: I almost erased this. I want to make clear that I'm not asking for any kind of help, and right now we still have some savings and are managing to pay all our bills. I know I should be grateful for that (it's so much more than many people have), and I am, truly. And I absolutely don't want to be seen as a complainer, which is the main reason my finger's hovering over the delete key.
It's just that . . . I'm so tired of it. And I really, really needed to say it.
That's all.
