Tonight during supper, DS10 asked me what I wanted for Christmas. My initial response was to tell him nothing. I have everything I need. I know I said this because I didn't want him to worry about why there will be nothing under the tree for me this year. He did get me thinking though. What do I want for Christmas? A few real good things do come to mind. 1. A job for DH- Because I want him to feel valuable again. Its really starting to take a toll on him emotionally, and my husband is such a great man, he doesn't deserve this.
2. A job for DH - Because unemployment is impossible for a family of 4 to live on.
3. A job for DH - Because I'm worried every time I start to feel sick, or its starting to snow like crazy, I could miss out on work. If I don't work, I don't get paid.
4. A job for DH - Because I have two weeks left, and then my hours will be cut. My boss has been great, but the reality is, she has other staff that also need hours, and the winter session is less busy.
5. A job for DH - Because I want to pay bills on time.
6. A job for DH - Because I really understand now more than ever, how important it is NOT to carry debt.
7. A job for DH- Because house repairs are popping up, and we don't have the money to fix them.
8. A job for DH - Because car repairs are popping up, and we don't have the money to fix them.
9. A job for DH - Because even though that snowman shower curtain was so cute, I can't justify giving up $20 for it.
10. A job for DH - Because warmer footwear for winter would be nice.
11. A job for DH - Because I can't remember the last time I had my haircut.
12. A job for DH - Because I can't cut their hair either! (They still allow me to, but my men deserve to look good.)
13. A job for DH - Because Yumi is over due for her vaccines.
14. A job for DH - Because I don't want to be nervous my debit card will be declined at the grocery store.
15. A job for DH - Because it will break my heart if we can't afford to travel to the family reunion next summer.
16. A job for DH - Because I miss being able to create art.
17. A job for DH - Because I want to buy pomegranates, and they're over $2 a piece.
18. A job for DH - Because DH hasn't enjoyed his popcorn fix in over 8 weeks.
19. A job for DH - Because I don't want to have to move out of our Sleepyhouse.
20. A job for DH - Because seeing the doctor or dentist is so expensive.
21. A job for DH - Because we're missing out on memories we could be making.
22. A job for DH - Because the ongoing uncertainty is stealing bit by bit, what little joy we can muster up.
