My Body Hates Me

Well it is official!! My body has truly turned against me in everything. I have now felt sick for almost a month now with no hope of what is going on. I have been to doctors and yet nothing just the comment it must be a virus, so we can't do anything. So this is my little two cents on doctors, I feel like at times they just want my money (which I don't have) and also just completely ignore all aspect of what I am saying. Well I guess I am done sorry but I needed to get it off my chest.

vent

Well it is official I think that i have lost my mind. I am so busy that I can't even think. We are really struggling and on top of that school is ruling my life I may only get to see embree on saturday if I am lucky and sunday. I am going into withdrawls with not being able to see my family. To top that our financial situation just got worse. Jace was forced to quit his part time job by his best friend. I guess it was good in a way the mother of his friend worked there to and made it a living pain to work there and she was the reason jace got canned. Well to top that because of the economy and living in a college town and community no one is hireing so lets just say ouch. Well on top of that we had to get a second car because our other one died and wouldn't be resurected. So we bought a used 2001 saturn L series and we knew that it had problems but they guranteed they would be fixed and they would pay, well no matter how long it was in the shop it never got fixed and we were ending up in the same situation that we were in before. Well long story short every time we got in the car we got sick because the exhaust went right back into the car. Well we took it back after we found out it was a lemon and got another with a higher price without wanting and yet that is the only one they would give us. so we have been having trials but yet we are still a family and working together i just wanted to vent sorry.
