Stress less

I went to GA in July to get away from all of the nonsense at home, and it worked! My mind and my body went back to normal. I think I just needed to be with my mom and my sister and get some peace. I need to do it more often.

I’m not stressed out right now, but I was for the past couple of weeks, and it was ugly! My hair was turning gray, my blood pressure was up, and I was eating uncontrollably. I really need to get away from this place! I think my family’s stressing me out!

I wish I could stop stressing, but it’s getting harder with each passing day. My husband and I are still looking for work. He has a few contract jobs here and there, but they won’t pay the big bills. I think I will stress less when we’re able to find full-time jobs.

My husband turned down the job in Houston because we just can’t afford to move right now. He completed a few contract jobs this week along with his Reserve duty, so we should see some money coming in until I get paid again. I wish I could get some relief from all of these bills! It’s really getting to me.

My husband may have to go work in Houston after all. I can’t go down there with him because we are very low on funds. I’ll have to find a job up here. I didn’t think that finding a job would be so difficult. Now I’m getting more stressed!

My husband found a new job, so we’re going to have to move by the end of the month. I’m happy about it, but why is it making me more stressed??? I have so many things to wrap up here, I’m not going to have the time. This is going to be the most stressful month of my life.

I’m having a really f*ed up week so far, and it’s only Monday!!! I had to pretty much drain my damn account to pay the rent. I don’t get paid again until next Wednesday, so I can’t do much of anything. The engine light decided to come on today on my way home, so now I have to take care of that tomorrow. I really don’t want to have to drag the kids with me, but it looks like I have no choice because school doesn’t start until Wednesday. I had to pass up a contract job for tomorrow because my car is messed up and I don’t have anyone to keep the kids. That would’ve brought in some quick cash. And on top of everything, my husband’s being a real jerk right now, but that’s a whole ‘nother story all together! I’m just not having a good day today!!!

Ok, I had to get that off my chest. I feel better now! :)

Now I’m stressed out because my husband is stressed out. He has been working at his new job for two weeks. He is supposed to get paid every week, but he hasn’t seen his first paycheck yet! He’s been in a really bad mood all week and doesn’t want to talk to anyone, not even me. Money’s been real REAL tight lately. I’m still job hunting, but nothing’s coming through yet. I still have a few paychecks coming in from the military, but it’s not enough to pay all the bills. I think I need to pray on it and avoid him unless he wants to talk.

I’m getting out of the military in a couple of months, and you think that I would be stressing less, but I’m not. I have three job-related accounts to close out before I can leave, then I have to outprocess the base. I’m also trying to finish my degree by the end of August, which is making my head hurt. My husband is already out and doesn’t start the Reserves until the beginning of August. He’s stressing out about finding a job, and it’s getting me all stressed out. We’re trying to hold on to as much money as we can because he’s about to lose his check soon, but it’s impossible. I’m so frustrated, I don’t know what to do.

After I clear up all this crap at work in a couple of weeks, then I’ll be less stressed. But then I’ll be stressed out about trying to find another job! LOL
