Ugh!!!:cussing: I hate IC!!:rant: I'm getting really stressed out.
As I've mentioned in the past I used up all of my paid time off at work. I applied for FMLA which I got of course, so basically this means if I'm flairing or if I have a dr's appt I can have time off of work and not fear losing my job but because I don't have any paid time off left I don't get paid. I have had flares so often lately that I was missing about 1 day during each two week pay period for the last couple of pay periods. When you get paid hourly and then they take out all the money for taxes and insurance missing a day really brings down your check. In my case it brings it down about a $100 bucks.
Obviously that started getting us behind right there. I had a Monday and Tuesday almost two weeks ago where I was so miserable that I couldn't go into work either day. So now this paycheck I get this Friday will actually have about $200 less in it than a normal paycheck. My MIL said that she would give us an extra $60 or $70 in addition to what she gives us for rent next week. It's really nice of her but it's not going to make up for what I'm not getting.
I am freaking out because bills are getting behind and I don't want to get in the hole. Well I have a whole bunch of stuff to sell, Griffin's old clothes and toys and stuff. I was going to have a yard sale sometime this summer anyway so the lack of money has modivated me to have one next Saturday to try to make up for the paycheck that will be really low.
Well of course the teenagers start bringing up all the toys from the basement that I put down there and Griffin starts having a fit because he doesn't want me to get rid of them. Of course he hasn't played with these toys in months and didn't know they were gone until they were brought up. So he starts crying and having a fit and I get stressed out and it just turns into a big mess. Hubby says I should do it while Griffin's asleep but he goes to sleep so late some nights that I want to go to bed by that time and I wanted to get it over with. Ugh!!! I hate that I HAVE to do this now to come up with extra money.
My mom said that they can probably help us out, they have no money problems whatsoever, BUT my father is a big butthead and if I ask for money he will make me feel like crap about it for a very long time and I already feel like crap about the fact that it's my fault that we're short on money.
Hubby said that we can sell the shot gun that he bought for hunting and has never actually gone hunting since he got it. He used to hunt with his dad alot when he was younger. He said we can take it back to the place that we got it from and he thinks we can get $100 for it. I feel really crappy that I have to have him sell it. He said that he wanted to get the boys (teenagers) our and hunting with him at some point. I guess we can sell it and then buy him another one that's less expensive in the future if he ever wants to go hunting.
I really hate all this crap. It's great that the FMLA is there but I think I'm going to have to go to work no matter what for the rest of the year to make sure that we don't go broke.
Alright, I have no idea if any of this even makes sense, but thanks for "listening"
