One More Day Down

Baby step by baby step we're getting better now. A little at a time but it's moving in a good way now. I guess once you come close to the bottom you can only go up.

The Date is days away from graduation now, her final classes dwindling to single digits. She's planning on working instead of taking summer school right now, which is pretty good right now. We'll finally be able to develop a real savings account to guard us against the next time things go bad for a few weeks at a time.

Thankfully we've kept out of going into deep debt though. That's the one thing that's kept us from sinking at all, well and the fact that I have three girls in the house I love...but we do only have one bathroom which sucks. Anyway not going into debt means that it's all for savings now, or a house down payment, or something else and not to a credit card that charges 20% thankfully.

Who knows what opportunities will open up and what will happen to get us from living paycheck to paycheck to getting a little ahead. I know in this economy where gas could easily hit six dollars per gallon this year if there is one more Mid-East revolution in one thousand miles of an oil well, that it's tough. It's tougher than it's ever been to make ends meet but we're going to do it.
