X-mas Depression
So I just finished my X-mas shopping. I am a little depressed, I had planned to buy the boys lots of stuff for christmas, but unfortunately there is less money than initially hoped for. I hate to be a downer and complain but this is where I go to do it so deal with it.
I hate being poor, I am giving the others in my family cheap photo albums and pictures of my family to try to cut down on expenses...I wanted to make ornaments or something or even actually buy them real gifts but I can't freaking afford it. I did however make sure to buy the kids in all the families gifts (real ones) and I hope they like them. The boys are used to comming out on christmas morning to lots of gifts...I dont have that many for them this year...we are having chicken for x-mas dinner because a ham is too expensive...THIS FUCKING SUCKS!!
Next year however, I should have a real job...or at least I will start buying stuff in August. I just dont want the kids to feel how tight money has gotten since we moved. They wont...they are great kids...they are not the type to complain if they dont get enough gifts...but I dont want them to be even in the slightest disappointed, you know.

Oh man, if anybody feels your pain, I certainly do. I hated only being able to buy Syd a few small things this year. I'm tired of her Birthday sucking so bad and I'm tired of xmas sucking. Here's to next year being better, huh? Love you! xoxo
Having been here so many times... I hate Christmas for this. You want to give the kids everything, and it's a real blow when you can't. I feel awful for you (and you, Shel).
Thanks guys for your thoughts...fortunately I have a tendency to get down when things are not so bad...I just like to give them everything...love you guys
