Somedays you're the windshield, somedays you're the bug

There's always something isn't there? Well, I can't afford to work full-time and pay for 2 kids in daycare full-time. It's ridiculously expensive and would leave me with gas money when all said and done for the month.

I also can't afford to stay home completely, as it would leave us just short of our monthly needs. Even cutting a lot out. I can't win no matter what I do.

Looking into options, going to talk to supervisor tomorrow about it. Maybe work from home days, part-time, another job? Who knows...

I am ashamed to admit I really enjoy and relate to this Miley Cyrus song (I know, Hannah Montana is soooo pre-teen right?) But...


I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on'

Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith

it is so tough to afford daycare, i don't know how some families do it. I won't be able to stay home either, though I don't think I would ever want to, but maybe you could watch kids in your home....then you can have some income, and still be home with your children.

Trust me I relate all too well to this!! Jesse is actually going to be cutting back his hours some because daycare for the three kids was going to cost us $2100 a month!!!
