Bettering Myself

Slowly dragging myself out of bed this morning, I quickly found that I that I was too tired to spring into my usual routine. Why would this be? I had worked a fair share on things the day before, but I certainly didn't wear myself out. I felt like something was wrong. While I was thinking about this, I stumbled into the shower to try to get my body moving a little faster. Then it hit me. Maybe it is a combination of diet, stress, and environment. Yes, that explanation would cover all of the bases in life. I truly have no idea.

After my slow start, I decided that I should dedicate a good portion of my day to getting my house in order. It is the Biblical way to go, and it was truly driving me crazy. I cleaned, and I cleaned, and I took care of the garbage, and scrubbed my front room until every last God forsaken misplaced Cheerio was vacuumed up or eaten by my two year old. Just kidding, but the kids did leave quite a mess in the house.

I continued on with my day, all the while thinking about what I could blog about that would be profitable and beneficial to the world. Then it dawned on me.

Am I crazy, or does it seem that the less gas I use, the higher my monthly cost? Same with power, water, and food. I actually would like to have another kid, but I sure don't want to do that with the amount of debt I currently have. Also, I am renting a house from my grandparents. It is a good gig, but it would certainly not accommodate another person...

I am a youngish male father who actually works for a living. I can't possibly be the only one in my situation that feels the same way; broke ten days before payday, too tired to be effective, lacking ambition, and left with too much debt. I make more now than I ever have previously. I am trying to break away from my former life of food stamps, state medical, and cashing in cans to get enough gas to get me to work until payday. But what in the world changed. More importantly, what can I do, besides try to make more money, to fix it?
