DH found out yesterday that where he works they are not gonna give raises this year to anyone but I bet the big wigs will get theirs. Sometimes I get so tired of living like this. I can't afford to buy new clothes for my kids when they need them. I don't even want to think about Christmas, it's hard enough at B-Days. Sorry I will stop whinning.
I understand where you are. Are you open for suggestions on how to beat the (op)pression/(de)pression/(re)pression????
1. Teach you kids to make their own clothes...simple pants, skirts, and shirts..
2. Hit the thrift stores/garage sales
3. Reassess the amount spent on BD and Christmas? Make the gifts.
Thank you for the suggestion. I do 2 of those 3 things already.
