In a Slump!

One of the reasons I started this blog is to help me stay on track. Now that I have a few readers, I feel like I have to succeed because I have people watching me and it is helping. I just get discouraged at times. This past week has been one of them. Will I ever be able to get out of debt? At this point it seems like it will never work. I just can't see it. With a family of five, it seems like what ever extra money we do have, needs to go somewhere else. I've been thinking this past week, that I really can't wait to get our tax refund check back so we can get the ball rolling on paying down our debt and hopefully I will have a more positive outlook on the future. But then I remember about our house in Louisiana that we are renting out. I have no idea what that is going to do as far as taxes go. I guess we will see. I have finally gotten back on the ball as far as finances go. Ever since the move, I just couldn't get organized. That might be one of the reasons I'm feeling the way I'm feeling about all this. I'm finally starting to see the big picture again and although paying down our debt has always been on my mind, it's front and center now. I've also been thinking about Christmas too and wanting to go to Wyoming for Thanksgiving and wondering how we are going to do all that. So there has been a lot on my mind lately. We just need to get through the next few months without getting into more debt. I was watching Raising Sextuplets on WE and the doctor was telling the father/husband that if he could get through the holidays with out gaining weight, he was OK. He wasn't worried about him losing wait at this time, he just didn't want him to gain anything. I guess that's what we all need to think about this season. Not getting deeper into debt. So that's my goal this holiday season. No new debt! Thanks for listening! Just a little blog-therapy here. It helps! :)
