I hate money. I hate money in Los Angeles especially.

I hate budgeting and I hate hate not being able to afford what I want for my daughter and I.

But… that is why I have become great at searching craigslist and freecycle for free stuff. All you other single working mom’s know what I mean. I may never see a penny of child support so everything I make has got to go a long way. So while I would love a brand new living room set, I am searching for a used set…something I can sit and watch TV on with my daughter and our friends. Used table and chairs just so my baby and I can finally eat like a family again. I just want to look at my place and feel home, really home for the first time in years.

Someday. Soon I hope.
