We all love to vent in some form or fashion...maybe if I made the time to blog more often I would be a happier person...maybe. So its the begining January and I am already hating 2011, serioulsy can things be going this bad this early in the year? I admit I am probably being a bit childish, but geez this year has been sucking for me so far, so I hope it turns around QUICK!

Like every year, I started 2011 paying property taxes and homeowners insurance for the year, and that is a big chunck of money and makes me very sad :( I hate taxes...at least we didnt have another increase this year on property taxes so that was releaving. I am sure some government offical is off wasting away my hard earned dollars and that makes me mad too! Lets see...next on my list vacation. So all of our friends are going on a cruise in August and I was so excited that maybe me and my darling husband may finally get to go on a trip. Lets see we have been together for 5 years and have never been able to take a nice trip or any trip for that matter...yeah thats the middle class for you...can't afford nothing but the bills. Well thats not going to happen because once again we don't have $1,100 dollars to spend on a cruise, so no vacation for us. I am just so sad over this, I mean we work so hard all year and I feel like we deserve it, and yes I thought about whiping out the credit card and just doing it, but we are honest folks who live within our means, and at the end of the day spending months stressing over a credit card balance and paying intrest on a trip just doesn't make sense to me...it is what it is.

I feel like there is so much stress in life! Between work and bills and worring about this and that, I swear I spend more time worring about the day to day than enjoying it. I know so many people have it worse than me, and my heart goes out to them, I know I am blessed for the things I do have!!! I often wish I could be the person who didn't stress over everything, but I can't help it, it's the way I am. So I am already over this year, I hope the rough start is not a vision of whats to come.

How about those resolutions? I personally didnt write down resolutions...I usually do but for some reason I thought I would be disappointed if I didnt obtian my goals for the year. I actually hope to be able to buy a new vehicle by the end of 2011, but I am not betting on it, I need to save a decent amount of money so who knows! Other than that I really dont have any goals...LOL I have had this car goal for the past 3 years so don't worry I won't cry if it don't work out. Just as long as I can get to and from place to place I am good, and I mean in a car. However I bet walking everywhere would really help with weight loss...but it would be quiet time consuming :)

I hope everyone else has had a better begining to 2011, and maybe with some prayers we can all get through the tough and good times this year has in store for us :)
