Comfort Food Night

Today was a bad day. Just plain bad for me, Aaron and for my mom. Found out there is a crack in our furnace which is leaking gas and obviously needs to be repaired. We also found out that we may need to pay alot of tax money on an investment of Dolores's. We're still working that out and may have to make payments to the IRS. (Or we may not).

My mom has a contract on her house in TN and will most likely sell it for $50,000 less that what she paid for it. She is a wreck over this. Also, she found out today that she will have to pay beaucoup denaro in taxes for her stocks that she sold last year. In addition to that, she found out today that her leased car that she had to pay $500 to transfer from TN to IL now has to go back to the original dealer in TN in August when the lease is up. This pretty much sent her over the edge today. She's immobile on the couch with a heating pad. (My wonderful husband has volunteered to drive her car to TN and to fly home so she doesn't have to worry about this).

So, as I "examine my relationship with food," I decide that we need a little comfort food for dinner tonight. I head over to Target on my lunch hour and buy 2 boxes of Velveeta cheese and shells to make for dinner. I added in the left over ham that my sister gave us from Easter yesterday and I added some black pepper and chopped green onions. We put some ketchup over it. Oh yeah, we also had a Vodka and Lemonade. Oh well, we were comforted.

Looking back on our day I realize...it's only money, right? Money should be the least of our problems. It comes, it goes. Sometimes it goes faster than it comes. But we have our faith, our health (which has improved from the last time I wrote about our Wellness blood tests!!!!!) and we have or love, our family, our memories and our stories.

We'll get through it, we always do.
