Us.

We are not much different then you.  Four of us, living a little house in a city not far from where I grew up.
My two boys are growing like weeds. Cam started pre-k this year and Austin is 16 months.
My marriage...they say the first year is hard...well we are on "hard first year number two".  We are both holding on, knowing when our life gets a little easier so will our relationship.  I think I can honestly say my first two years of marriage have been hell. BUT that's a story for a different day!
And to add to the mix, the economy, its got us down.  I said DOWN, not OUT.
As of a year ago our lives were on a pretty straight path.  My husband worked, I stayed at home with the kids.  I always liked to think that was what the average "American family" did or at least strived to do. I was happy to be where I was.  Playing all day, teaching the boys what I wanted them to learn.
Long story short, Josh had major back pain- we went to Atlanta Spine Institute- they told us he has two fractured vertebrae and degenerative disk disease.  He was told if he didn't take it easy his fractured vertebrae would especially break in two pieces. We agreed that him leaving his job (which was very physical) and me jumping back into the working world would be best.  I tried.  I really did.  I would send out about 10 resumes A DAY (this went on for 2 months).  I finally called my last place of employment, which was a job I really loved to begin with (why I didn't call them first, I have no idea!!) and they hired me on as part-time but after just two days I am up to 40 hrs a week.
This means we are catching up, slowly but surly.
We went without being able to pay utilities.  There were days where we didn't know how we were going to buy dinner, pay insurance...
And lastly our home is being foreclosed.  I wasn't sure if I wanted to write about that but why not. It seemed as if we had just gotten back on our feet when we got the notice.
This is how my blog got its title.  We are on this road, living from day to day but with no idea where we are going to end up.
We are definitely going through a struggle, so why not write my way through it.
Maybe my blog will (1) make you appreciate what you have or (2) show someone that they are not the only one... the economy and plain bad luck are effecting tons of us.
Now that I have scared you off or made you think I am a complete nut, I hope you enjoy my blogging from here on out.
