Well it's been a while since I've been on my blog. Just been doing some personal introspection, enjoying family and friends, and getting ready for the upcoming holidays. Times are so hard out here. I remember a few years back milk was just about $2-2.50 a gallon, bread was about $1.50 a loaf...now it's like milk is just about $4 a gallon and bread is almost $3...that may not seem like such a big deal...but "little things" like these add up especially when a household (working class to almost nonexistant middle class) has one income provider for the family and companies are not adjusting their compensation to the cost of living.
I've stopped watching the news a couple of years ago (another subject I would love to go into later...I just think that major network "news" stations are just another arm of fat cat corporations to keep their agendas going and we the so-called critical thinking society are suppose to just believe everything they tell us...but alas the corporations know the simple gulliable american mind of a sheep society) so I'm not up to date on the supposed recession that feels more like a depression to me, because I definitely feel depressed sometimes that I can't provide myself and my child the basic necessities without robbing Peter to pay Paul. I know a lot of people are feeling the same way I'm feeling. I've begrudgingly started looking for a second job. I really didn't want to go down this road because being a working mom, I cherish the little time I have with my child everyday to catch up on his day at school, having dinner together, enjoy seeing him doing sports and karate, just being a mom before he goes off to bed for us to start another long day of work and school.
I didn't know it would be this hard trying to find a secondary job for supplemental income. Walmart has a waiting list where I live, I've had to go on 3 separate interviews for a salesperson position at a major retail store at a nearby mall (didn't get the job...scratching my head on that one), I've even started to look for work at home jobs. Many of their websites forewarned me of their waiting lists and don't hold my breath if I thought I would start working right away (I've applied anyway...won't be holding my breath but I will check my email for an assignment if ever I'm a thought in their mind).
I remain hopeful. The spiritual voice inside of me is telling me this is just a momentary setback, and it will get better soon, so I try not to stress too much. My son is learning the word budget (he doesn't like that word at all...LOL). Hey maybe I'll lose some weight on the budget diet as well. I'm grateful that I have my health and my family to support me. I know there are people out there who may have less than what I have and I do appreciate what I do have. I hope we can all find a way to be able to provide for our families so we can stop letting this parasitic economy drain us of our emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Please stay prayed up no matter what your spiritual and/or religious beliefs are. Keep harmony and balance; we are no good to others if we are not at our best. Take care of you in order to take care of the ones you love.
