Well I finally did it, I put an ad on craigslist to sell my Wishblade. It was a hard decision but I need the money more than the Wishblade at the moment.
My timing is just outstanding…besides the cost of Christmas, having a broken vacuum (in a house with a 110 pound long haired Alaskan Malamute), and badly needed car repairs I now find myself facing an emergency root canal and possible crown. (The crown is not the emergency, I’m told that’s optional lol). The root canal alone is going to cost over $1,200.00 and I have no insurance (of course). I have thought of selling my Wishblade before but what truly convinced me to actually go through with it was the PAIN! Who knew a tooth could hurt so badly? Badly enough to make me part with my Wishblade! LOL
Truly, I am half kidding with the drama because I never took the time (found the time), to put my Wishblade to use but still, it was so expensive and it is so COOL that I felt the need to whine and complain about it today. You know what they say? When it rains, it pours! My oh my how that is so true right now!
I look back a few years and we were having such a wonderful time financially, my sons and I had our dream house (well, my dream house, they didn’t like it because it was so big), two new cars, a thriving business, and all that we could ask for materially and healthwise. We were very happy and it was before TEENITIS hit home. Today, it’s all gone and without getting into details, I can say that I’ve been down before but I’m not sure that I’ve ever been THIS down. And I do not mean just financially, it is a tough time for our family all around, it’s as if the stars are all mis-aligned or something. I think my star must have fallen from the sky or something because something sure is out of whack!
But, what can you do but keep on waking up and breathing? I just keep saying to myself, “If I can just get through this day then I’ll deal with tonight.” And tonight I’ll tell myself, “If I can just get through this night, I’ll deal with tomorrow when/if I wake up.” (Kidding about the if waking up part). Without a little humor I’d never make it through this thing we call life!
Well I feel as if I’ve whined enough and somehow, I don’t feel any better. Hmmm..what’s the use of whining and complaining if it doesn’t make you feel better? I know…I’ll try chocolate!
