Can't get out of my rut

[DianaB]

It sounds like Katie is still moving out, just not as quickly as first thought and Josh needs some extra money. I say be patient because Katie is moving soon and about Josh, could you give him enough money to pay for his first month's rent. Would that help him out? I know that rent in small towns is pretty cheap but you've also been buying Christmas gifts. If that idea won't work for you then I agree with the other girls that you need some time off! Go to someone's house for a day or so and relax and have fun! Or go to a spa!! Get your mind off of your situation! Also, I would put an end to all of the mess! They don't need to treat your home that a way.

Good ideas Diana! Poor Tink....I would be like a crazy woman by now. Bless you for your patience. I wouldn't want to be them when it runs out, that's for sure!

Think spa day, or dinner out with dh.

Big hug,

Judy

Thanks ladies, I'm sorry I keep harping on the same thing over and over. It's just so disheartening when you think you see an end in sight and suddenly you're right back where you started.

I was told tonight that Katie and Josh will be moving this next week, but I'm not holding my breath. Don't wanna turn blue...

I ended up taking Katie shopping today since she didn't have a winter coat and was badly in need of pants. So we hit the sales and I ended up letting her pick out her own Christmas gifts rather than giving her cash like I'd intended to. At least she got things that she likes and will use!

Tink - please don't worry about harping on the same thing over and over. That's what we do sometimes. It's ok. Not everything is an easy fix, it takes time. What this shows is that you have dedication and pushing forward to fix it and not giving up. Good for you!

It's just like what Diana has written on her signature..... ""Everything is okay in the end, if it's not ok, then it's not the end." I probably read this everyday and find it to be so true!!! I really take it to heart.

That was nice that you took Katie out to shop for some needed items. That to me has so much more meaning then handing over cash. You are a special angel for doing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tink don't you ever worry about 'harping' on anything. We all need to vent and when you have your hopes up about something and then they get squashed over and over we need to vent. So you do whatever you need to do and know we are here for you.

We are all special friends together and we care for you and what you're going through. It's never "harping", it's sharing what's going on in your life with us! You know that we love you and only want what's best for you!!! Things will work out, Tink, but you know, sometimes it's just not soon enough for us! I know that you've already been patient but just give it a little bit more time.
