I&#8217;m out of options on how to get money for Christmas. My last attempt was to sell my dining room table set to my ex-husband. He&#8217;s been using it since the divorce and I made him a reasonable offer. $150 for the table and all 6 chairs..except his fiancee said no. Now I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m going to do. The boys gave me their lists yesterday and it was ok because I was sure I&#8217;d have that money plus maybe a tiny bit more..but she said no. Now, I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m going to do. Their lists were full of small things because they knew I couldn&#8217;t buy them the big items they wanted. They&#8217;ve been saving up for about 6 months to get a WII in the hopes that mom would put in the rest of the money and they know now that I can&#8217;t do that. What they don&#8217;t know is that there just might not be a Christmas this year; that the little plastic canvas snowmen I made for each of them this year may be the only present there is to give them. Oh God, what am I going to do? I had planned on taking that money and going black friday shopping to get the best deals I could and now there&#8217;s no money. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view%C2%A4t=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Photobucket\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it&#8217;s official.
