Stress keeps you up at night...

Hola Mi Gente, it's been a while since I've been on here and I know some of you are wondering where have I been. Well my marriage is great no problems under this roof. We ARE however, having issues with the in-law house. I hoping nothing too determental but that is only up to the in-laws and what they're going to do about it. Has nothing to do with us. I just pray for them.
What's really been happeing is this whole mess with the mortgage industry. Some of you who are aware know that the industry took a big hit with its subprime division, making it harder for companies like my husband's to survive. It's funny I've always been the optimistic one out of the two of us and now i find myself being the pessimist. Who'd have known that we'd switch roles when it matter most. I stay up late at night, not surfing on the web for new shoes or what trip to take but how we're going to manage to pay the mortgage, babysitting, car payment or how will i cover my mother's rent this month. Sometimes, like now, I cry and pray for a miracle..a change of some sort just to make it through the next week. There are some out there that think just because my husband is part owner of this company we get what we want through company funds, what they don't know is how they are stuggling to make sure they're employees get a paycheck for the hard work they put in to help them function. Some people just have it soooo twisted.
My family and i leave for New York this week to visit family and i'm actually looking forward to it..one, because i love New York so much...what's there not to like ;-) but mainly because we're taking two friends that have never been there and there is nothing like when you see a city you've been to a dozens of times before but this time through the eyes of a person who is seeing it for the first time...THAT'S an amazing emotion. I want to take them all over the city even to the spots that others may feel are.."not worth it" but to these two...EVERY part of the city will be worth it. I get so jaded by all the crap surrounding me everyday sometimes i lose touch of the things that really matter and this trip will be perfect for me to gain the perspective i have lost.
Hopefully it won't be too long before i'm on here again, telling you all the crazy ass shit i'm going through. Besos MiGente...I wish you enough!!!!
