Feeling the Blahs Big Time

Yeah, it's almost Christmas, one of my favorite times of year. But I'm not feeling too great today. We are struggling financially and I really need to find another client to add a child to my in-home daycare. My hubby works so hard and is also talking about getting an extra job, which I feel bad about because he does enough already.
I'm getting a hard time from my own mother, who lives in our basement suite. She says I'm not trying hard enough. It seems the older she gets, the meaner she gets.
I don't have a photo to add today. Maybe I'll add one later.

I’m sorry you are having a hard time. I’m not having an easy time either. My son passed away last year and in September my mate passed away. I’m completely at loose ends. I didn’t intend to put up a Christmas tree but I battened my hatches and put my tree up. I’m lucky to have two more sons. I understand that but still my grief is hard to bear.

@MissNikki Thank you. I appreciated the hugs and the kind words. I also understand how rough it is when money is short and you have to pinch every penny. Good luck to you and your family.

@MissNikki I know, mine was like yours, what my brother made was always perfect, what I made never.

So sorry you are having such a hard time, To make you maybe feel a bit better you have your mom living in the basement but just think how one of my friends feels having to live with her mother-in-law in the basement and she sure has a lot to say driving her up the wall, I hope better days are ahead for you and your family, Virtual hugs,

I'm so sorry to hear that. Maybe you can ask her why she thinks why you're not doing enough although someone who lives under your roof has no right to speak I'll of you !!!
I'm sure you and your husband are doing your best and I'm glad you're helping each other to get through this.
It's going to be fine just have faith.
