I can not believe the oil prices. I had nothing left in the oil tank and I had to fill it. It cost me almost $1200 to fill my tank. That will last 3 months. I turned to my 2 year old daughter and said – “you’re getting oil for your birthday” and she said “cool” because she didn’t know what I was really saying. That is just horrible. Why does the middle class always have to stuggle the most. I work my ass off and I can not even make ends meet. It is just horrible and it is just going to get worse. I can not afford $1200 in oil and you know it is going to get higher and in the winter I will need it more. What are we all going to do?

I have to heat the house but at the same time I will have to still clothe them – I don’t have handme downs from other relatives! And my oldest can not go to school in her clothes from last year…they don’t fit! And as far as my baby is concern – I can not give him his older sisters clothing! There are sites out there that have very nice and affordable clothing…infact Designer Baby Clothes. Online shopping is so much better than going to the pricey stores. My kids are going to look good despite the fact that times are tough.
