When it rains, it pours!

This is how I feel right now...  like there is a gigantic cloud looming over me and it keeps dumping out bucket loads of water over me!  Yesterday was the day from you know where!  
  1. I went to the dentist and find out that I have to have a root canal and a crown which I don't have the money for, and I tell them this.  They tell me to apply for credit care and I will be able to make monthly payments until it is paid off.  OK, sounds like a good idea, until I go home apply and get DENIED!  Now what am I supposed to do with my broken tooth that costs $800.00 to fix...
  2. I get a phone call from the processors office that I am going to be served and sued due to non payment of a creditor from 2006 and they wanted to know if I could give them a fair counter offer and settle the dispute.  Hello there people, I dump change to make my rent payments and I can't even fix a broken tooth!  He informed me that they can garnish my wages, put liens on my property and get access to my bank account.  I would like to see a judge actually grant them to take money from a single mother of 4 children who is barely making it.  I have no property for them to put a lien on and good luck with the bank account, there is NO MONEY IN IT!
  3. My old landlord calls me because she can't get Michael to answer her calls/text messages... (he still owes back rent).  Um honey, he hardly ever answers/returns my calls, what do you think I can accomplish!
OY VEY!! 

So today I sat on the pitty pot for a while and tried to figure out what I can possibly do about any of these situations and there isn't much.  Except for the option of calling Daddy and asking if he can help with my tooth (which I really hate to do and don't want to do) there is nothing I can do about these things!  And then I remember this...


So I am going to keep hanging on, umbrella in hand, life vest on and raft ready to inflate, because really that is all I can do!

I feel like giving and trust work in tandem.   GIVING In some areas giving is easy for me, sometimes it is too easy.  I will give of my time, energy, strength, love (to those who are closest to me), determination and dedication to my workplace and commitments to others to my detriment and decline of health.  Giving of my finances is another story.  Money is tight and a negative bank account is a reoccurring factor the past couple of months.    TRUST That is a hard one.  Let down and disappointment one after another because I trusted people.  They were probably the wrong people to trust and I probably expected more than I should have.  Then again did I really expect more than I should have?  Lately, over the years, my thought process has been if I don't invest in GOD, people or myself I can't be let down.  I have been working on changing that thought process but it is not easy.  I am not going to live in f...

Inner Strength - your survival instinct...  I am so Thankful that I have inner strength, the drive and determination that comes out at that last possible second when you think you have nothing left in you. I am a pretty stubborn person and I won't "allow" things to come crashing down and take away my spirit, I just keep trucking on and on and on like the energizer bunny. Something gets in my way and I either plow right through it like a linebacker or I stuff it down inside and try to deal with it later.  I have to say with my current situation I have taken the bull by the horns and just done what needs to be done as far as getting a place of my own and taking on the bills etc, but the emotional side of it I have stuffed deep down inside of me and it keeps trying to rear it's ugly head the past couple of days.  I am sad about the separation and about how things have turned out, it breaks my heart.  But you go on, I have learned to let go of things.  I am in cont...
