I need to pout.

So I need to pout, because things aren't going as we had thought they would.

For some reason...we are broke. Tim is making money..and we don't have a rent to pay but we are still struggling to pay our bills. I had expected to save some money prior to Tim's basic and AIT to be a cushion during the transition from his plumbing job, to his military job. (We are struggling because some how..Tim's $90 credit card bill..is now a $264 bill..even though we haven't touched the card in months and have been making all our payments on time.)

We've been told to expect that first check to come anywhere from 30-60 days after he leaves for basic. Which means that for the month of November and possibly December..we won't have any money to pay our bills.

So what it boils down to is.. it doesn't look like Tim will be able to put in his two weeks come October. I was hoping he could make his last day October 23rd..then be home with us until he leaves November 3rd. It's not looking like it will work out that way because we won't have any money saved up to pay the bills for November if he doesn't work right up until the last day he is here.

I'm pretty upset about this because...well..it sucks. I was really hoping that he'd be able to spend those last two weeks home with the girls. It sucks. It really really really sucks. But hey...I can't complain too much if at all. At least we have money for our bills..there are a lot of people in this country right now that are hurting, so I am thankful that he is still making money, even if it's not as much as we had hoped.

Sorry if this didn't make any sense...my mind tends to wander at night.

(All you military people..if I am wrong about any of this..please correct me and put my mind at ease..or send me into a state of panic)
