Big Winner

So Chris and I had a pretty intense conversation this morning about money, jobs, you know the big kids kinda stuff that I hate. Sometimes I'd rather fly through life with Chris and Audrey with no budgets, worries, responsibilities (but we all know that is not possible) It made me have a crappy morning and I know it kinda wrecked his evening in Afghanistan. He doesn't want to go on vacation now because he wants to save money (as do I) but I think our family needs a break no matter what. No matter what the cost. I think some people get some misconception that deployed soldiers make a ton but that is not that case. Granted we are saving a lot while Chris is gone but we are just a middle class family going through a military life. After that intense conversation this morning I was depressed. I mean we do things the right way. We save money, we don't have credit card debt, we don't overextend ourselves. Hell, I drive a 2004 Saturn (because I do not want a car payment) And even though I feel like we are doing it the right way (if there is one) I was drowning in financial life and I felt like I was not saving enough. It does not help that Audrey's daycare is a ton per week while Chris is deployed and my work was not cooperating now that I am done with summer classes. Either way I was having a bad day so after work I decided to play a $10 lotto ticket.  What do you know I won $410!! To me this is proof that things will work out. In the end, I am convinced that good things happen to good people <3
