I tried to 'comment' on your Blog and this was my comment..but it wouldn't accept it! So here it is:

Finally, a place to vent! Oh my God, this is hilarious! To read what my friend tells me every day (spoke one of the said girlfriends) ...the one with the evil Poltergiest-like property manager who tells me I need to 'get a full-time job'. Tells me 'maybe it's time to accept that you can't afford the house'...are you fucking kidding me???!!! I've already 'been there, done that' with the whole foreclosure thing, already had the Sell Everything That Isn't Nailed Down Garage Sale (at Suzy's advice hahaha) and yes we drank the whooole time! :) I've been struggling to maintain a full-time job, and an inflated rent payment on a house in the middle of an area that, in the last 20 years, has managed to shut down every semblance of industry and revenue and inflate the property values to such an insane level that NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY can afford to live here. And if they say they can they are smoking medical marijuana (heeellloooo.....it's harder to start a licensed daycare in this valley than it was to become a 'caregiver' when they opened the floodgates of the medicinal weed.) Point being, we are living in an economy where there are no jobs, no industry, the cost of living is out of this world, and if a lonely little job happens to rear it's pathetic head, you've got a minimum of 300 totally overqualified people mauling it to a bloody pulp. Sigh....and I've "Been The Water" for 4 frickin years...ever since I divorced Suzy's FIRST husband ( I know, right?! That's why we drink!!"). But seriously, I get that you can't control shit. I get that there's a bigger picture. I get that material things really don't matter and I have learned to live with soooo little.. and like it! I love my children, where I live, my lifestyle, my friends, my family, my boyfriend, and I truly believe everything leads to something else. Sometimes it blows me away to realize I'm living a life that is feeding off the lessons of the past and THANK GOD I lived and learned those lessons ..."All is well. All is going according to plan. Trust that there is a bigger picture. Trust that life is unfolding as it should."... But, frankly being on the verge of getting kicked out of my rental and finding a new home for me and my 3 (well, 2 cuz my 18-yr-old is venturing out..)children, hoping it isn't gonna be a frickin cardboard BOX...tends to make me hyperventilate more than a little and argue with the bigger picture and deny that there is even a remote possibility that I am destined to be on the street. I don't WANT that to be part of the 'Bigger Picture'...bigger picture my ass! Ok, Susan, it's time for our drinks, now! :) hahahaha
