The Struggle

It's not just a one-day thing or feeling. It's a fight day after day to make sure everything is done and we have everything we need. The holidays can make that even harder, especially with the cold weather and a head cold, and you feel like you're getting beaten into the ground. There's no one who can stop it or help you fix it. Jackie and I go through this every day, having to make choices that not only affect us but now our fur baby Susie. We discuss every purchase and decision we make together. We try to give each other our strength so we keep going. It is not a competition; it's more like a job to me.
