Not really feeling the Christmas spirit this year. Since we quit working the farm we were forced to move faster than if you just rented a place do to the fact any new employee's they hire would have to live there. Sucks. Believe me I am totally happy not being at that hell hole but still. We moved into my parents. Originally we were going to just go to this efficiency apartment place until we could save money and rent a place but considering we quit our jobs how could we afford it. Jeff went back to working with his brother but his brother doesn't pay shit. My mom said we should come here because hotels and stuff are expensive. I was so happy when she said that because for one I love being at my mothers and another we could save money easier and not worry if we would have the money each week to keep the hotel but also save for a new place. But since moving in here it's not been what I thought it would be. Granted I can live with my mother a lot easier than my sisters can. I mean I actually do clean up after me and the kids and other stuff. But now that Christmas is here it's kind of depressing. Mom's place is gorgeous with her holiday decorating but it makes me miss putting up my own decorations and tree. Plus all of our stuff is in storage and we didn't bring a whole lot with us because there really isn't room. But our storage is like an hour and a half away. It was only like 15 minutes from the old place. So we can't just go there and get things when we want because of gas. Basically I'm bored as hell. Jeff's out working every day for nothing basically. By the time he puts gas in we're broke pretty much. I've only gotten 3 gifts for my kids for Christmas so far and that's because my mother bought them though I have to pay her back when I get the money. Jeff's mom loans us money every year for Christmas and we pay her back at tax time but she takes forever giving us the money. He said she was suppose to do it sometime this week. Mom and I are going out to JC Penney's later to buy William some jeans. He's growing so fast and all his jeans are 2 inches to short mostly. I just feel awkward here sometimes. I try to keep the kids calm but they really aren't used to that. I don't want them getting on my parent's nerves, ya'know. I know that compared to my sister's kids mine are extremely calm but still. We try to buy our own groceries and stuff but it's kind of hard when you have no money obviously. My parent's eat things that my hubby and kids won't plus my kids...especially william can eat a ton. Mom's is great for visiting but I want my own place again. ladida layouts
