Made It Through

Well yesterday went okay. I did manage to get some housework done, which is good. I really can't be slacking on that. I made a cake for my brother-in-law, and even made homemade frosting for it. The little store down the block didn't have any frostings that anyone here would eat. So I looked into making my own. I also made Chicken Dumpling soup for supper. For some reason it turned out more like stew then soup, but it worked. When my husband got home, the only thing he said about it was I should have added a little more water or something. But everyone lived. When it came to them trying the cake with my first time homemade frosting I was nervous. I had never made my own frosting before and to me it didn't look quite right when I was done and spread it on the cake. But my husband, who is the pickiest eater in the house said I did a good job. So I was happy about that. Today I have to run some errands in town after I drop my daughter off at school. I am not looking forward to talking to the one lady at the bank. My husband wants me to talk to her about seeing if we can skip the one loan payment this month. We are tight on money right now and every little bit helps. But I am not good at talking to people about things like that. So I am sure that I will tear up when I am talking to her about it. But if we can't I am not sure if we will be able to get ANY presents for our girls. I would like to be able to get them at least one a piece. But after I get home I am going to work on helping get the house in a little better spirits. I am finally allowed to decorate for Christmas today. My husband is not a big Christmas fan, so he said we had to wait to decorate till after his brother's birthday, which was yesterday. So today is the day that I can decorate. But I am going to have to end this post for now. I have to finish getting my daughter ready for school and get the other one and me ready to go into town. Wish me luck and I will post again later when I get a chance.
