Ugh. That’s about all I can say. Everything else I have said before.

I got my first paycheque this week. Didn’t feel as nice as I thought it would. I just can’t believe how far behind we’ve gotten in a matter of 4 weeks. I feel like throwing up.
I feel like we’re never going to get ahead and we keep sinking further and further. I just don’t know what to do. The cost of daycare is alone enough to bankrupt us.

I *could* ask for a raise. Though, I just feel wrong. I mean, I have been gone off work for a year of Maternity Leave.. How can I show up and then 2 weeks into it ask for more money??.. I wish I had more balls that way.. or that I had less tact. Not sure which is better. LOL
I don’t think a raise is really going to help, unless it’s like 10,000 dollars or more. I highly doubt I can pull that one off.

I just don’t know what to do. I am at a complete loss.

Mike and I just finished a VERY huge fight about money too. We both feel like we’re getting no where and it’s really putting a strain on our marriage lately.

There’s got to be something we can do, if not to help us a little, but to save our marriage from where it’s going.

Seriously, where is that money tree?
