So, I'm having one of those "bite me" kind of days. I'm moody. I'm tired of dealing with wedding drama for the two cousins that are getting married soon. Ethan just purposefully wet on the floor. Erin's been crying for a long time and I'm spent. The day and afternoon started out so good. What happened? The neighbor kids that I babysat a few days ago broke my printer. They pulled the strip out of the inside of the printer and stuffed the paper tray and inside full of glue sticks. (all in about 3 minutes time). I'm working on a bridal shower invitation project right now and can't finish it due to the printer. I pulled out the other old printer and bought a cartridge refill kit to refill the ink. Nothing is working. The only thing I've succeeded in doing is getting my hands covered in ink.

Money is starting to get noticeably tight around here with just one income. I'm feeling incredibly stressed about it. This is cheesy but I almost cried in Walmart today. A man approached me with a flyer stating that he was deaf and that he was trying to make some money to support his family. I wanted to help but I had to hand the flyer back to him and say sorry I truly don't have any money on me. I hate that. I even got sick to my stomach when I bought the refill kit today. Why am I stressing about this so much? We'll be fine. I know we will. I guess I just feel personally responsible for putting our family in the financial position that we are in right now.

*sigh* Ok, that was enough venting for one night. I have a dental appointment in the morning. I've managed to break a part of a tooth off. Fun stuff. Hopefully, whatever they do won't make my mouth swell up too much. I'm in a wedding on Friday (which I still don't know what time or where!) and then we are attending another wedding on Saturday.

Boy, as I read this back I must sound really sour. Sorry about that. Just a grumpy few hours.
