Annoyances

When I started this blog, the intent was that I wasn't going to complain about things that are going on in Craig and I's life, but realize that it wouldn't give an accurate description of what our life is like so here it is:

I know that I shouldn't care how people think about me. In a weird way I still do. Basically, Craig and I have been accused of wasting our money. Let me explain! I went a month without a jobs after I graduated so that in and of itself is an issue. When I did find a job I got really sick. I went from bad cold to flu to sinus infection to stomach flu all in the course of 5 weeks. I had no choice, but to take time off to get better. I didn't want to at first because we needed the funds, but I quickly realized that if I don't take time off I won't get better. Craig also came down with the flu that took him out of commission for almost a whole week and has started another job on campus.

We recently got rid of our cable so that should help. We have also considerably downgraded what we spend on going out to eat and entertainment. I've cuaght myself saying "Do I really need this?" several times and then putting things back because I know that it would not be good for us financially. Sometimes friends will call and see if I want to hang out. I would see if the means justify the ends if there is spending involved. Craig is literally busting his behind trying to work two jobs and be successful in school, which is difficult because I worked three jobs and took a full time load and I almost went crazy!

I guess what I am trying to say is those people who are accusing us of wasting money can't see another problem (that has nothing to do with Craig and I) on the horizon. This problem has been two and a half years in the making. If they think that we are wasting money they haven't seen NOTHIN' yet. Craig and I have been silently praying that this day would come that they would open their eyes and focus on some real issues that we have seen day in day out. On the other hand we don't want the day to come because heads will roll. Please pray for us and this other issue!
