Remember...
Water and words easy to pour...
Impossible to recover.

Carly and Alex both had their school parties today, the High School gave the kids a reward with a bus trip to Wagga and a movie. What was a reward for them felt like a punishment for me, I had to pay out $30 so she could go. I hope she enjoyed it. Alex only had a class party and we had to provide chips so I got out of that for very little.
Work is having their Xmas party tonight but I'm not going. It was to cost non-social club members $60, and unfortunately, at this time of year I can think of more important things to spend $60 on. I still have Carly's birthday present to collect and I owe another $200 on it, and a week to get it.
So far the lead-up to Christmas has been terrible. I haven't had the time for Xmas shopping and every time the kids have told me something else they want I've gotten angry. Money is tight this year and every bill was due last month and what with Emily's wedding in February I'm stressing about where all the money is going to come from. I'm afraid my attitude has taken the fun out of Xmas for Carly and Alex. I've promised myself to have a better attitude next week, and try to make it the joy that it should be.
I spent the day in Wagga at the Courthouse. I was to be a witness in a court case and we sat around until 3pm only to be told it will get adjourned until next March. This court case has been going on since last February, and everyone was really hoping it would be all over today. I'd love to talk about it but can't. I didn't get paid for today and although I should have been reimbursed through the court, I didn't fill out any forms so am wondering how I get some money. What with Xmas only a week away I don't imagine anything will be done about it until next year.
