You realize how good you are at scrambling and that financial problems aren't as bad as they seem in the immediate moment. It helps for the next go round...which hopefully never comes. :)<br /><br />Thankfully our financial situation is good right now but, just this weekend we made a huge mistake in selling our house. It's gonna cost us...painfully but, what are you gonna do?<br /><br />They can't make you pregnant...and they can't send you to Georgia anymore :).e.f. bartlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940814285264472785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-67751015618582694952012-08-13T09:44:10.823+01:002012-08-13T09:44:10.823+01:00Thanks so much, e.f. and sorry to hear that you...Thanks so much, e.f. and sorry to hear that you've had those times too, especially just after your Boy was born. It's tough, isn't it? Just trying to pick up more work where I can but have lost a lot of ground financially, that's the hard bit. <br />Working for oneself can be absolutely brilliant, but only as long as it's going well...!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-54075411362121052012-08-12T14:29:47.123+01:002012-08-12T14:29:47.123+01:00Bear, nobody loves rural Mississippi more than me ...Bear, nobody loves rural Mississippi more than me but, a trans-Atlantic trip to Bude? <br /><br />Did you go for the Grand Re-Opening of the Shell station?

The worst one coming right after the Boy was born.I was really feeling like husband and father of the year...it was awesome. Ugh. We figured it out though...mainly cause we didn't have a choice. That's the great advantage of needing to eat. :)<br /><br />Y'all will get it handled.<br /><br />I genuinely admire you for working for yourself.<br /><br />Now go regroup yourself.e.f. bartlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940814285264472785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-122553641286408082012-08-12T10:29:50.024+01:002012-08-12T10:29:50.024+01:00Thanks SB.

There must be a better term which could be used for individuals - perhaps it's time to make one up? I'll have to try and think of one with some fruit in it, to go nicely with 'pear shaped'...<br />Hope you had a good hol!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-25480907396858207152012-08-12T09:55:04.081+01:002012-08-12T09:55:04.081+01:00Thanks for the broccoli tip, C!

When I was in Bude, of all places, last week, I discovered that Christopher Columbus thought the world was 'pear shaped' - I never knew! I must add that I am no fan of the concept of 'regrouping'. Have you ever noticed how sports commentators often say that an individual sportsperson, when things go a little 'pear shaped', will have to regroup? How can one person do that? Flipping gibberish. Hope things get less pear shaped down your way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
