Big Purchases

It may be the gloomy weather talking, but my life is in shambles! The mental to-do lists and rants that go on inside of my brain are bogging me down.

My husband went back to working 12 hours 7 days a week on Valentine’s Day. It’s definitely been a learning curve navigating home life without him here 24/7.

Being overwhelmed is normal, but now there’s so much more to think about, things like:

What’s the next step with my 4-year old’s school? He can identify half the alphabet and knows all his sight words and 20 some dinosaur names!

Why can’t I remember how to potty train? Why is my second child so much harder to teach and train?

There’s 5 days more till my son and daughter’s birthday party and I have to do all the last minutes all by myself even though I don’t have a car!

How am I supposed to buy a car all by myself? It’s such a big purchase!

We’ve been looking at used SUVs for a few months now but haven’t been able to look at any. Waiting for tax returns is annoying. Now that that’s here, we still can’t buy our SUV because we need a car to go buy a car and my husband has ours at work from 7am-7pm!

When can we make the big purchase of buying a house?

The banks want 2 years of job history because my husband is a contractor. So, we have to wait another year before we can prove to the banks that his income is consistent. Why is it so stressful to make a big purchase? There should be a better way to do this; It should be easier than this.
