i am really concerned about my husband. he is simply exhausted. he feels all alone in the sense that he has to take a second job. i told him that there were probably A LOT of people who have to take second jobs, but he just didn't know any of them. i think the weight and financial responsibility of having children are hitting him pretty hard now. i am concerned too because the people in his family, who i think should be a source of support, are simply stressful themselves. his mother makes everything about her. his brother just wants to come over and play video games (which, that will end SOON). i'll just have to stay as positive as i can about all of this so that he can feel supported. i draw support from my mom. she is the best. she worries a lot too, but i think that she has learned to let go of some of that.

i think we are going to have a HUGE garage sale this weekend. we have our stuff, mother in law and sister in law's stuff, co worker is bringing some things, my brother is bringing some things, and my mom. i just hope that WE can make some money to add to our vacation budget. i will fight kicking and screaming to keep from putting anything on our credit card. i don't even want to think about how much debt we have. it makes me sick to my stomach. i think if we could get by with some junker cars for awhile, it would make a huge difference. car payments will eat you alive.
