Lemon Bars

I have been craving sweets lately but lack the money to run to the store for something. So I started through my cupboards and discovered a box of lemon bars! I loooooove lemon bars. Homemade are much more delicious then boxed but it will have to do. Also, I don't have any powdered sugar to top them with, but perhaps it's for the best, seeing as I really should not indulge myself in the sweets in the first place and the less sugar the better, ha ha ha!
Well, it also seems I have begun to treat my blog as my old journals, as I feared, procrastinating an entry for days. This week has been a bit stressful. On top of some personal issues that surfaced, it seems Andrew and I have met a financial pothole. We needed to make a huge final payment on the car it seems we were obligated to buy and it took up most of his recent paycheck. We were able to receive some help from relatives [that needs to be paid back ASAP] so that we could keep some money for groceries. We had to postpone paying important bills for the first time ever, it makes us feel terrible. We have always prided ourselves with the fact that we always paid our bills early or on time. Now this paycheck, our bills alone add up to $50 more than his check will be. That leaves no money for groceries or other household items that have run low. Currently, I have nothing to clean everyday messes with, I usually use clorox wipes or a paper towel with clorox spray. I have resorted to using the dish washing sponge, which I personally find gross. We also need some things for the medicine cabinet. Our cupboards are pretty bare. Since I decided to buy less food items last week so I would use up the items that have been just sitting around for a few months. We have $20 for gas left this paycheck. I am trying really hard not to show Andrew how stressed I am, But it's hard because he is not trying to hide his concern. I hate seeing him so stressed, he looks especially tired when he is. I keep telling him not to worry, but I can't think of anything to help our situation. Really all we need is to find a bill or two to postpone a little longer so we can buy groceries this week. We are just waiting for his last w2 to come in the mail so we can pay off two major financial hangnails. Hopefully it will come in soon so we can start buying baby stuff. We still have two car seats and a double stroller to buy. I used to think that the stroller was a luxury but the more I think about my daily life the more I think of it as a necessity. It will basically be how I will transport my little loved ones together, ha ha ha! stick the car seats in there and roll! 


Well, lately my posts have been more journal then house tips so I need to much on a lemon bar or two and think of something to write about.... More in a bit.
