ERR. It just gets better all the time. Same day 3/29/2016

Well, this is different writing. I am mad at myself today for not paying more on my electric bill for the last 2 month's. It has really racked up and now i have to put a large down payment on it tomorrow. That will gut my check once i pay rent and phone i will only have about 200 for the whole month. I am freaking out. I don't know what i thought would happen, maybe they would work with me more. I am going to trust that something will come my way next month. Did not eat good today but did last night. Had ww pasta spaghetti, a salad Then some micro pop corn for a snack. Today, not so good. Had son (prob cause i'm down today) go to store and get me some dreaded cookies. I feel so ashamed about the situation i have put myself in that i just want to crawl under a rock. Going to eat the ww pasta again tonight and a salad and i have some light pear's to eat. Taking my aunt to the doc tomorrow. She is finally going, she has needed to go for a very long time and he is making her come in before he prescribes any more of her med's. It's not till 2 p.m. so i can sleep in. Yay. Trying not to get too down. Ive been down before. Something will happen i hope. My aunt tell's me to trust the lord, i will try. I don't know why he would do anything for me. This is just another life lesson. Maybe i will learn something from this experience, I hope i do. OK more later maybe. Watching the Voice while i type. Starting to get into it. Hug's

I would ask mom for loan this month and see if she has ability to help out....My mom did that for me for years when in and out of work all the time...I now owe her over $37K but she is not asking for payments....

Maybe a church can help you with food, this month. God is is always there to listen. I all ways pray for his guidance.
Maybe if you call the Electric company and ask if there is anywhere you can go for assistance with your bill due to your income situation they can direct you. Pasta and salad sounds good. We had tuna,not my favorite but better than nothing.

is there help with your bill ? i am sure if there is, electric comp. knows how to direct you. WW pasta and salad sound good also. Maybe just set aside each month same amt plus a few dollars until you catch up...then not so overwhelming. I know hard at first but in just a few months you will feel good you take care of this each month, and will feel a relief you are in control. Such a good feeling you will continue. Set up some jars and each pay day add to each jar marked rather it be utility what ever, and you will see this grow, and know if you rob from one jar the consequences.. only takes on time of robbing from yourself, lol, to learn lesson when time comes to pay and jar is empty. ( I know from experience...and i tried to tell myself somehow i would catch up. ) what a good feeling when in just two months, i had amt in each jar and followed through. And believe it or not, still have that pizza money or what ever i needed. Hugs
