Being poor stinks.

I mean, I have 2 family members who used all their extra cash to spend a week in FL the week
before Christmas.

I'm at home with 3 other family members, with about $5 a person a day budget, no Christmas
presents, no groceries or supplies, and somehow have to make the best of this.

I'm getting calls every few hours from one of the vacationing family members who appears
to be bored camping.

One of the stay-at-homes has work scheduled nearly every day in the upcoming week. So I won't see her much of the time.

But, I've a lot of reading I can do, internet surfing, TiVO watching (YAH TiVO!!!), etc.
So I will certainly survive. But it's not going to seem like Christmas .
