Money, Money, Money

Money is not the root of all evil, but the love of money is.  I don't love it, and I don't hate it, but I do love to spend it.  I have spent so much money on things that I couldn't live out and now can't remember.   In the past, I have spent us into major credit card debt, house refinancing, and life insurance loans.  It's a slippery slope that starts as a fun ride.

Money/food is my rebellion, and I use it to make myself feel good.  Right now I'm cutting back on my fats and added sugar, so, of course, I want to spend money. We are still not sure how much Chuck's new medication will cost, and all I can think about is the letter from Home Depot telling me if I buy something $299 or over, I get interest free credit for one year.  Hello bar-be-que.

If I'm honest with myself, I'm sure this is my reaction to the decline I am seeing in Chuck's health and all the issues trying to get his new medication.  I'm also tired from several extremely busy weeks at work.  Not a good combination.  Tomorrow I'm planning to return two pairs of dress pants and a shrug that I bought last weekend, and Sunday, I'm going to church, which I haven't done in a while.
