Well, maybe not all day. But for most of the afternoon and evening.
The simple fact that there is never enough. No matter how much you make. Well... i guess I wouldn't say that... There is never enough for a "normal" person/family. It always seems like there are more bills than money... And when you finally catch up a little bit, something else happens to put you right back in the hole. Pay off a credit card and the car needs new tires, get a little extra in savings and BLAM! a hurricane blows your roof off... Maybe not that one for some people, but you know what I'm talking about! It SUCKS!
Being Military there is always that definite paycheck. Its nice to know that there will always be "some" money coming in - even if it isnt enough. Some people think that people in the military make oh so much money, and its not fair. Well here is something to think about for those people - My husband is on call 24/7 and could be called on whenever needed. In reality, if you did broke his paycheck up hourly, he would only be making like $15 an hour (at least at his rank). And thats working 40 hours 5 days a week. Jay easily works 60-70 hours a week, plus brings his work home with him often. I try not to complain too much about how much he works, because I knew it would be this way, but sometimes it does get to me. I wish he could spend more time with our daughter... and of course me. I know it could be worse, he could be deployed, or away training, so I definitely thank God that he's here...
I like to work... and make money for the family myself. I definitly don't make near what he makes.. but I like to think that I am contributing in some way :-) Now I make minimum wage... and yes it sucks... but my job is definitely minimum requirements. If they could pay me less legally, I'm sure they would lol.. BUT! At least I have a job! WOO HOO... lol. It gives me some "me" time... kinda. But it gives Jay Daddy/Daughter time. So thats nice for them cuz they don't get that much time together! Addison is such a Daddy's girl though! She can be kicking and screaming for me... and when she sees him, her entire attitude changes! All smiles and happy from there on out. Now the place I work is like an internet cafe, without the food and wifi lol. Pretty much people come here to get online to play games and win money. I would say its "gambling" but gambling is illegal here in NC. So basically I watch people throw away their money. We have this one lady who will put like $1000-$1500 a week in these machines! She barely ever wins! And when she does, it is nowhere near as much as she puts in. I think to myself every night when she walks in the door "man, I wish I had that much extra cash!"
So for those of you who feel like you never have enough - you are not alone!! And for those of you who do, and have some to spare... would sharing with those less fortunate kill you???? lol. Just Kidding!
