I'm having a very "blah" day

I seem to be in a bit of a funk today that I can't seem to dig my way out of. I've just been feeling really depressed today and I need to work and get motivated but it seems like all I can do is sit here and stare blankly at the monitor. I just found out this past Friday that my job is cutting my hours back. This has got me feeling really down. I love my job but I need to continue to make money and I need my hours. After talking with hubby about it this weekend he has decided we are going to have to take our daughter out of her Mother's Day Out program to save money. I know we need to save money where we can. It's just kind of sad to me to have to take this away from her. She has become very attached to the kids and teachers there and has learned so much from them. I had a long talk with her director this morning and she offered me a job there teaching the 3 year old class. If I take the job my daughter can continue to go there for free. So this might be an option I consider. I just hate that we seem to be struggling right now. I often feel like I'm not doing enough to contribute financially. And now with my hours being cut it just made that feeling even worse. And with prices of everything rapidly increasing it's just getting to be tough. Hubby has a great business but unfortunately he's having a hard time getting payment from his clients because they're broke as well. It's like a never ending cycle. When is it ever going to end? Sorry for complaing so much. I just really needed to vent. I've gone running, taken a relaxing shower, read. I just can't seem to find a way out of my funk today. Do any of you ever get down like this? How do you pull yourself back up?

Hi cyndvvs! I am sorry to hear of your situation right now and I am hoping that somehow you are feeling a little better today. Everybody seems to be going through hard times. I am in the same boat my friend. There are still some blessings around just like for instance the director of the program where you are being offered a teaching course and you still have your job though the hours may be reduced but you still have something. Whenever, I feel so down all I really do is try to look for things that will keep me busy and distracted for awhile. Sometimes I go to the mall, just to pass the time and window shop or sometimes, I go visit my aunts. And if I am not in the talking mood, I pray and I take courage and hope that tomorrow, something good will happen. Take care and God Bless!

It always seems that when it rains it pours. To me it sounds like you are just having a bad day and lord knows we all have them. These things for most people have a way of turing around and eventually turning out fine. A hot bath would be a better option. Whats important for you and hubbie is to work together on this. Its definately something you two dont want to start arguing about. Just take a deep breath and you will feel better I wish you a very happy and productive day Dale
