I don't have 2 nickels to rub together...

Chris and I need to create a budget. Seriously. I can't tell you where our money goes. I know our bills take up a major portion of my paycheck, if not all of it. (Mortgage, vehicles, utilities, etc.)

Now the thing that kills us is the ten dollars at Wal-mart, twenty dollars at Giant Eagle, etc. At the end of the month there's nothing major to show for it and we're just getting by.

I definitely spend more time working than I do at home. This frustrates me because I feel like I'm working my ass off, and just getting by. I would love to stay home with Braden (and future child/children...) However, this is just a dream.

Don't get me wrong. I do know that we have all the comforts of modern living, a nice place to live, extra stuff, yadda yadda. It's just frustrating me that I'm working my ass off to just make it.

Brings to mind one of my favorite sayings - once you make the ends meet, they move the ends.
