THAT kind of day...

I'm mad that...
its going to cost $300 +/- to get Ava's passport renewed.
its going to cost about $5000 to get Ava's green card, $3000 of which is the lawyer's fee and the remaining government filing fees. (What happened to the "...bring me your POOR...huddle masses"??)
I didn't get a honeymoon.
my husbands ex-wife is using their children to get more money.
my husband is being taken advantage of and manipulated by his ex-wife.
I've had TWO miscarriages in a row.
all I've ever, ever wanted has been nothing but a struggle and fight for me.
my husband works EVERY SINGLE DAY!
I have PCOS.
money doesn't grow on trees.
my hormones are causing me to go from homicidal to suicidal.
my sister REALLY annoys me most of the time.
my dad is a dork!
my brother and his family are inactive.

On the other hand:
I am thankful that...
my husband has a job and is fully committed to it, for now.
our immigration lawyer moved from Houston to Beaumont and has given us his discount and won't let us pay for each visit we'll have to make to his office during the next 12 months.
my husband's kids are in the US and not back in Samoa.
despite my PCOS, I have been able to conceive.
eventually, when things settle down, my husband and I will travel to Samoa to visit his family.
although money is tight, all our bills (somehow) are being paid and we have extra money Every. Single. Month! *Testimony of paying tithing*

  1. I'm so sorry you are struggling right now. I promise it will get better once you have all this other crap settled. It won't be perfect, but it will WAY less stress! Just remember that you are a GREAT aunt and sister! My kiddos adore you! Love you bunches!
