Life is getting tough

It always seems to get sorta rough this time of year for us. No visible pattern as of yet, just seems like the ends get harder and harder to reach this season. It also gets compounded by depression on my part. I hate being broke during the holidays. I could care less if we had no money in the summertime; I mean heck we have the pool what more could we need? But in the winter time? No no...there is so much to do...and it all takes money it seems..Or does it??? I think its all in ones perception..I have a lovely house..whose payments are pretty much current, I have a great husband ( most of the time), 4 healthy happy kids, pets that I love, my own health...I have 90% of the Christmas shopping done and wrapped, and I am craft Mama !! So there it is..... When I'm blue I just look at this face to cheer me up.......
