Frustration

So I have decided that I have a love/hate relationship with my house. I really do like it, but I don't like the lack of extra money I used to have! It's really putting a damper on things! I was hoping to get down to Arkansas to see the kids....oh and my sister, best friend, brother, brother in law, and ex sister in law ;). Suppose I should keep them in there too. But really I find that I just miss the kids ALL THE TIME lately. I think it's because I got used to William's girls being here and driving down there more frequently to see everyone. I was REALLY able to get down several times while I was working in Kansas City and kept it up for about a year.

Part of this reason, however, is also because we are flying to visit my grandparents in October. We have never been really close with them, but Grandpa may not last much longer with his emphyasema, so I wanted to be sure to see him again.

I usually do most of the travelling to Arkansas because I am usually the one that has a bit more money and I have no kids (so having to plan around school!!) Plus, my job allows me to get several days off in a row to go places.

Ok end of rant. Things will get better. I will tighten down and spend less and save up a bit more. Maybe I can get enough cushion to get down there still before the chances of snow make me wait till spring.
