and I'm not too happy with what I saw.
I had a birthday card from my son's first birthday with $15 in it. It was HIS birthday money. When I looked in the safe to check it (which I do periodically), it was gone. I have ONE guess as to who took it. And I'm very unhappy about it.
He has mentioned taking it before, and I have told him not to. Looks like he did. So now, not only do I owe our roommate at least $100, I also owe my own son $15. And he didn't even need to take the $15. I wish I knew when he did it, but I have a feeling it was done recently. He said he "found $10" yesterday. Grr. Pretty sure I don't believe him.
He says he's trying to earn my trust and I start trusting him, and then he does something like this! Guess I need to find a new hiding place for money. I just thought he wouldn't steal from his own son.
P.
UPDATE: I asked him about it, and he told me that he told me about it. He used it while I was gone because he needed gas money. I told him that if he told me back then, I was probably pissed off at that time, too. He said "yeah." Bleh. Hate money. Can't save anything when we owe more than the paycheck. Rent, electric, heating, gas for the car, car insurance, and of course our tags are expiring this month too. And yes, that's ALL on Friday's check (well, except for heating I guess, though we really should get that turned back on soon). Why? Because we had to buy groceries with this check. We couldn't save anything worth anything :(

Something Is Going Right
Oh snap! I just remembered that I need to read the verses my husband put on the dry erase board lol.
Why did I remember that? Because things are going right. Hubby is finally stepping up as best he knows how, which isn't perfect, but I don't expect him to be. He is struggling, so the fact that he is actually trying means a lot to me.
Money still sucks right now, and we won't be able to pull half for rent this check like I wanted to. We still have to get our license taken care of too. Which means we will have to advance again next paycheck :( Too much financial crap keeps bringing us down. How are we supposed to save for an emergency fund if there isn't any money to save? And we don't exactly have anything of major value...
BUT we might be able to make a little extra cash this winter. His folks have decided to let us keep my baby Jeep afterall, which is really exciting for me. I was upset when they decided it shouldn't belong to us anymore and then I found out they were talking about scrapping/parting it out. Now, hubby asked about using it to plow with this winter and they are giving it back to us. So now we just have to figure out how to afford to add a plow to the truck.
I'm just happy to be getting my Jeep back lol.

Numb
I know I'm on my period, so that makes emotions just worse, but right now I am just numb.
Why?
Finances.
Well that and life in general.
My car needs her transmission fixed, but that can wait. Hubby was told of a possible promotion but doesn't think he's going to get it (when I say promotion, I mean the all our problems are solved type promotion). There's water in the apartment that they won't fix. No other apartments are available.
And to top it all off, there's finances. Why did we need to advance before? Why can't his overtime be like that one overtime check? Why did we put so much stock in that damned overtime anyway?
What are we going to eat? What are we going to feed our son?
How are we supposed to afford getting him back from the in-laws?
What are we supposed to do?
We don't even have enough for rent.
We made poor decisions but I didn't think they were THAT bad. (ok the $30 I spent at Hot Topic wasn't necessary)
He thinks it's all his fault and I think it really is about 50/50.
I don't want to have to worry about finances anymore :(
