First week done

Our first week of school is done. It was a short week, but it was a rough one physically and emotionally.

Being on my feet all day long is tough and my paycheck from Texas was short. We are not happy campers when it comes to our finances. We have had to make some tough decisions. There isn't enough money to pay rent, the bills, and eat.

 I tried to get a loan from the new credit union. They offered new to the district teachers transition loans.  They made it sound like we would be able to receive $3500, but in reality it was up to $3500.  We were only given $500. That isn't enough to cover our expenses. We are being creative.

L has yet to return to work. We are both ready to beat her. She seems to feel no responsibility for herself or to help us even though we are feeding her, taking her toand from school, housing her, and just plain ole dealing with her. Neither of us are sure what to do. We have talked to her until we are our in the face. We have yelled. We have tried to explain how tough things are. Yet, NOTHING!

What are we suppose to do?

We look forward to the fact that it is only another 3 weeks before I get paid, but we do know that it will not be an easy October. We will have to figue out how to double pay on all of our bills. It will not be an easy couple of months.

We know how we are going to get out of it, but it will take time before we get it. I am going to have to withdraw money from my retirement account. The money will be used to catch up on everything. It isn't the best option, but it is the only one we have.

Neither of us regret the move, but it isn't what we expected yet.
