Frustration

WARNING: I will be doing some ranting that really has nothing to do with Olivia. Sorry...

I had a postpartum doctor appointment today and things went well. The ladies in the office were so excited to see me with an actual baby! They are such a sweet group of women.

It's good to hear that fluctuations with Olivia's eating is normal. But I feel like I have fed her about every hour today, which is draining when a I want to do is have her sleep for a few hours so I can clean. On the bright side, my feet are looking more and more normal every day! I never realized how skinny my ankles are. :-) But I'm still waiting for my hands to shrink so I can wear my wedding ring again :/

After we picked up Mike we took a family walk to Fred Meyers. You gotta love it when your baby gas a blowout in the store and then starts screaming.... yay! -_- We got it taken care of wuickly as we rushed home to watch Thursday Night Football.

RANT: This whole idea of credit scores is ridiculous. First of all, why do they range from 334-808??? Who makes those numbers? Also, how is anyone supposed to get ahead and/or work on building their credit if no one trusts them? We need a second car and I wanted to take out a loan to get a car what we don't have to do a ton of work to but I wasn't looking for anything fancy. Well needless to say, we were declined and told we would need a co-signer who has more of a credit history. I'm 26 and don't want to rely on other people or ask someone to do that.... I'm frustrated. I just feel like I am never making progress. How are we going to get a second car? How are we supposed to buy a house some day? How are we going to afford college (among other things) for Olivia and any other children we might have? How do you build credit if no one will give you credit??? Just feeling defeated his evening. Oh well. I guess there isn't much else I can do tonight. Tomorrow is a new day. I just have to keep remembering a post I saw on Pinterest:

God has three answers to our prayers:
Yes
Not yet
and, I have something better in store

I just have to trust that it is in His hands and that we will be okay.

  1. Get a bank Credit card, charge stuff instead of paying cash and pay it off every month. Pain but that is how it works...
