I'm feeling pretty darn depressed at the moment. We're having a hard time right now and I'm trying to stay positive, but things just keep happening. With Thanksgiving coming I'm trying to remind myself of all the things I have to be thankful for, but I'm struggling. 

What's so bad you ask? Well  to start off with this month we got kicked off of food stamps, no big deal since my husband got some overtime and an "extra" paycheck this month. Then we find out somewhere in the budget we messed up an that money wasn't really extra. Again we weren't to worried about it, we used the money for groceries, a coat and winter clothes for Nanna, rain boots for Jacks, underpants for me, and a treat for Shayne so it not like we wasted the money. Then we lose electricity in both our bathrooms and won't have the money for an electrician until we get taxes back. Shortly afterward we found out Shayne was going to loose his job in mid December due to some stupid old policy the company just now chose to enact. It's getting harder to feel quite so positive, but that's ok we've been in tighter spots before. Everywhere Shayne has looked for a new job hasn't really panned out, but we're still confident he'll find something. Then the dishwasher breaks. Totally no big deal, I can wash dishes by hand. It's to bad that I don't have any way to stop up our tiny sink, I may have to wash them in the bathtub... By candlelight... And to top it all off yesterday we were headed to one of my little brother's birthday party and stopped for gas. Once the gas was pumped the car wouldn't start and we had to sit at the gas station for like two hours trying to figure out what was wrong only to have to have the stupid thing towed! Thankfully the tow was covered by our insurance and my cousin was able to pick the kids and I up and take us to the party. We still don't know what's wrong with the car, but at least we have a car that's big enough to hold all of us until we do figure it out.
