I have been feeling kinda weird lately. I don't know why. I hate to sound lame, but I feel the same way Tony did just before he met Maria in West Side Story. For those of you too young to remember this (most of you that even read this), he sings a song at this point in the movie (big surprise huh??). It goes..."Could be, who knows... There's somethin' due, anyday. I will know, right away, soon as it shows. I got a feelin there's a miracle due, gonna come through, comin to me...."

Financially, things have really been kind of shitty lately. Real life has really been kicking me in the ass with this one. Haven't been this scared about money in a long time. Knowing me and how I react to things like this...I should be really upset, depressed and crying. But I'm not. There is something in my gut telling me it's going to be okay.

I might never make the kind of money I would like to have. I might never get to a point where I can go to Great America for a day and not worry about paying my electric bill because of it. But ya know...WTF mate! If I never move out of Northlake and my kids grow up happy and healthy, then life is good!!

I believe that a higher power watches out for me. My God has always provided the things that I need. This is the same God that has provided the guardian angels that play practical jokes on me. The same God that brought my daughters, all of them, through life threatening health situations. The same God that gave my son that smile and giggle that melt my heart. I might not have a religion that I agree with, but my faith is strong.

In my heart I believe that there are better things in store for me. This is why I am being put through difficulties. I am doing my best. I can do no more then this.

All of you...Keep the Faith, whatever that faith is for you! It can carry you through a world of shit.

Ya know what, I don't care if I do sound lame! So, screw you guys...LOL

Oh! ...We ain't got a barrel of money

Maybe we're ragged and funny

But we'll travel along, Singing a song

Side by side

I don't know what's a-comin' tomorrow

Maybe it's trouble and sorrow

But we'll travel the road, Sharing our load

Side by side

Thru all kinds of weather

What if the sky should fall

Just as long as we're together

It really doesn't matter at all

When they've all had their quarrels and parted

We'll be the same as we started

Just travelin' along, Singing a song

Side by side
