The Fodder
I am so tired of money things...I have never been a shopper, but I enjoy buying for others. At least I did… now it just makes me want to hurl.
Got four birthdays this month… one taken care of the second and third are a double dose… can’t attend the party because of SIL2B’s shower. I have no idea what to get them… and no money to get anything with. I would just give them cash but I know for a fact that SILW/MS will keep it. She has said as much to me at past parties.
Got the bridal shower next Sunday. I gave them their wedding gift months ago when there was an accident in front of my parents house and damage done to both SIL2B’s car and my brothers car. They were upset about having to dig into their wedding fund for this. Turned out they didn’t. Also I had no idea there were plans for big showers/bachelor parties etc. The Mr.spent $100 last weekend on the bachelor festivities, that ended lamely because baby bro was afraid SIL2B would be upset. Ugh! I grabbed a couple of cheap gifts for the shower so there was something from me and The Drama Queen to open… but even that was money I don’t have to spend
Now I gotta come up with $35 for a personal finance course The Mr.has to take because he is filing bankruptcy… a course that has to be taken within 45 days of the meeting which is tomorrow… hopefully they will take it after or he will have to refile because he hasn’t done it yet. Pisses me off a bit but I am not going to get into that.
Course the kids are wanting this that and the other thing… and I can’t do it… and I am wondering where the money for school clothes is going to come from.
If only Calgon take me away actually worked… course I can’t afford Calgon, so the point is moot. Heh!
Funny how they make him take a course on finance… I’m sure the economy didn’t help the situation. I got chewed out by the IRS for taking our stimulus check and paying it to the IRS. “It is not meant to pay off bills. It’s to energize the economy.” She told me on the phone. My response was “Stop F*#king with the economy and I’ll get my bills paid on time.” She didn’t say anything after that.
Umm, what? The IRS chewed you out for how you spent your stimulus check? That’s just heinous.
They can go fornicate with a barge pole.

I could have made that post. We now have a dress code for work so I need a weeks worth of clothes for me on top of what the kids need for school… I tried getting clothes early to spread the green a bit but our dress code is fall colors?@#@@# sigh
