no i’m not santa, but i am making a list.

our home is falling apart and a lot of stuff needs to be repaired and in some cases replaced. nothing seems to get done because of our lack of money right now, so i am trying to make a list of everything that we need. how we’ll get it i have no idea, but if i can figure out how much money its going to all cost, then maybe i can figure out the best course of action.

right now the major needs here are a replacement refrigerator and a plumber to check on why our water keeps randomly shutting off. we have a well and for some reason every once in a while the water pump will just stop pumping. we have to tap on something outside to get it to cut back on (and that seriously sucks in the middle of the night when its snowing let me tell you). my mom also needs her car fixed because she has a rejected inspection sticker and the parts for her car will cost over 1k to replace.

i honestly hate money at this point. the lack of it is just becoming such a strain on everything. it feels like nothing is going to get fixed. the government does not provide my mother with enough money to make ends meet every month, and with the lack of jobs in this area i’m forced to run on nothing but the cash i get from paid advertising on my blog and my twitter, which honestly i would rather not do, and i’m sure i’ve lost some readers because of that (and my lack of blogging of course).

i wish i could find a better way to fix things. i have looked for answers on websites and other stuff to see if there are more programs mom can get into that will help her, but there isn’t anything.
