We're so loaded.

It's so great not to have to worry about money. We don't have to worry about how much things cost or if we'll be able to afford the items we want. We just know that we have no money and we can't. There's no worrying involved. Yesterday we went to a Corn Maze and Activity place called Hee Haws with our neighbors. It cost around $15 or so and we had a good time there for a few hours. We were all pretty hungry afterward so we went out to eat after. Our neighbors ordered first and then we did. I handed the girl my debit card to pay for it and it was declined. She ran it again and it declined again. I thought- OK, so we're broke. I'll have to break out the old credit card. I handed her that and it declined, too. So that was great. We had no money whatsoever so we cancelled our order and were just going to go home. Our neighbor was nice enough to let us borrow $20 for the meal and we will just pay him back tomorrow when I get paid. How sad is that, though. We're pathetic. I think we're going to have to sell our children. But we'll sell our minivan first. And then a couple of my kidneys. My mom has three, maybe I do, too. I only need one, right? I'm a bad budgeter and Katrina has to try to keep me in check. I'm spendy, you could say. There are always 82 items on my "I wanna buy that" list and Katrina doesn't have many expensive tastes. I do. I'm trying to work out a deal with a company down the street from where I work. I'll be doing their monthly e-mail promotions for $100-$150 a month, hopefully. That'll help a little. I'm also trying to sell some pens on eBay but that doesn't do too well. We'll see how it goes. This is our constant dilemma. We don't have enough money to last from one paycheck to the next. So I guess we're living from paycheck to almost paycheck. Or something. Anyway, we'll keep trying to be good and we always have enough to take care of the basics. Well, at least most of the time. I'll stop whining about our poverty for now.
Anders is doing good for the most part. He's very smart but he's very two as well.

OK- I just got back from church. We made it through one hour, not even until the end of sacrament. Anders was being so out of control that we couldn't keep him at church. Katrina played piano for the Primary Program during sacrament so we missed pretty much the whole thing due to our angelic two year old. I felt bad leaving church while Katrina was up on the stage but she called just now and I told her what happened. We're going to do some reading this week and see what we can do to get him to behave at least a little bit at church. It gets worse each week and we're not sure what to do. Addie was so good the whole time and when we came home she fell right asleep. Anders was better once we got home but it took him a little while. Hopefully we'll find some good info to help us help him so that we can be active at church. That would be nice. I felt bad for myself after getting him to bed so I heated up a hot pocket and blended up a Pina Colada, which I am about to enjoy. Seeya.
