I hate living with my parents!!!!!!! I cant wait untill we can get all of our bills cought up. Everytime we are almost there, something happens.

For example, 3 weeks ago, hubby had a tool stolen that was worth 1200 dollars!!! He has to have one to do his job since he is a sub-contractor, he supplies his own tools. Luckly, since it got stolen from a job site, his boss was kind enough to replace it. but we have to pay for it out of his pay. Last week was the last payement (big payments I might add). he got a whopping 70 bucks on his check. thank god I work.

I just get sooo stressed out around the holidays. I just want to for once, provide a nice christmas for the kids.

Maddy, that is terrible, someone stealing his tool, I bought my husband an engraving gun and he now engraves his DL# SS# his name and his address if there is room on his tools because people kept stealing them from our shop.

He hasn't had any of his tools stolen in a very long time now, if your husband don't have his tools engraved like that then I suggest he do so especially working on job sites around other people and sure it may not stop all of them from stealing but it may keep someone from stealing them too.

I can relate to the living with the parents thing. We'vr only been at the in-laws for 2 or 3 weeks and I already feel the difference in my relationship with hubby. Mainly because I don't feel comfortable speaking up too loudly for myself, which leaves that on his shoulders. Plus the weirdness of trying to get any kind of booty... and bad timing on our parts when things aren't weird.

All of this would go away if I would ever get my inheritance from when my mom passed away. I've been waiting over a year. A good portion of the stock has devalued since then, but taxes and penalties are calculated from the day she passed. (Pisses me off that we have death tax anyway... who the f#@! ever thought of that?)
