Feeling the stress.

Nothing is easy. My greatest stress - for as long as I remember- is dealing with finances. I do NOT like the inner turmoil this causes my heart. I feel the adrenaline rise, I get all emotional and feel like
I am twelve. Our cable is out, the electric bill still needs to be paid, the mortgage is due and the kids have needs food. clothing and shelter. I work two jobs. I do my part, but it is not enough. This is the bane of my existence - the greatest source of turmoil in my marriage and one that will never, ever go away. Sometimes, I want to give up and then, something wonderful happens and my heart swells with pride. I hope and pray that tomorrow is the day of something wonderful!!!!!! It is my son's birthday and I simply want to celebrate.

You're not alone...everyone is feeling the financial stress in one way or another. Last week it was car repairs; this week the state of CT told the University it was cutting another 15% from its budget...that could mean significant layoffs in the months ahead for those of us working at UConn. Its tough...I really hope the tide starts to turn...Love - L.
