Great blog post by someone who has the guts to open her heart, life and finances to the world. Would be nice if more people could be as honest when talking about life lessons that matter more in REAL LIFE than worrying about the next BIG web2.0/3 things. Thanks for a great honest post :) You may have financial difficulties right now, but you've made others richer.

I wrote three NSF checks last week and bought three lattes. Yes. I can relate.

AWW... poor thing !!...she couldn't pay the interior decorator cos a substantial amount of money hadn't cleared in her account I cannot believe some people actually think like that, utter garbage ! WTF OK UPDATE >> after talking with Velveteen Mind I come to the conclusion that in fact she is not a "poor thing" as I previously said but recovering from a disaster in her area( apparently ) ...maybe she is just not great a getting across herself / thoughts using text ... or maybe I just don't understand

From the page: "I also know how much comfort I find in reading about the non-June Cleaver-esque lives of so many other moms online. I know that shining light on the reality of today's family is a healthy thing, albeit painful. So, yeah, we ran out of money. Ever happen to you?"

From the page: "We had a handful of unusual expenses this month, including paying to have the interior of our house painted. Usually, I do that kind of thing myself, but I've never tried it with two toddlers hanging off of the ladder beneath me, so I only made it as far as the bedrooms and one bathroom before I had to hire professional help. That professional help asked to be paid before the job was finished "

Who cares. This is one of the most boring reads on the internet. So what a stay at home mom didn't make her budget let me cry about that for a while.
