"When life gives you Lemons"

So the saying goes, but I'm a little sick & tired of "making Lemonade".

I try to be an open and honest person. With this blog I can remember all the good things the last couple of years. Every moment captured in blog form has been mostly positive. I want to look at the world with optimism. But as 2010 draws to a close, I just wanted to vent and document a few of our low points. 

We've been struggling financially, like really struggling. 2011 might be the year we lose our house- the bank has started the foreclosure process. Defiantly not a proud moment for us, as Jerimy and I are both very hard workers. (I am a two of days away from working at the same company for exactly 10 years.) We're not bad with money- we were actually able to pay off our car this year ahead of schedule. It's simply a matter of following our dreams and finding work we love to do hasn't paid the greatest salary.

We are on the government funded WIC program to help with supplemental nutritional groceries for our little misters. How I hate even saying that. I know these programs are in place to help us, but I really don't want to have to ask for help.

Then, today the mail came and what to our surprise was delivered a notice the IRS needs a token amount of money from us or we'll be audited. Augh, what else world, What? ... Actually I don't want to know.

I have a wonderful Husband, my health is good, my two little ones are simply fantastic. I doubt I could wish for more... except for a little money to pay the bank. My life is everything I want and I have learned what makes me the happiest. Heres to 2011, come what may.
