Finances and Thoughts

I am, once again, trying to do too many things at once.  This combined with my emotional state means nothing is getting done - still.

DH finally did the taxes and discovered we owe over $600.  We have never owed before. The main problem is he waited until 2 weeks before the deadline.  So, we have 2 weeks to get the money.  If he had done them back in February, when he was supposed to, we would have had several months.

 Gas prices are up to $4.00 a gallon.  It now costs me as much to fill up my minivan as it did to fill up my 15 passenger 1-2 years ago.

With the food sensitivities and health issues, our grocery bill has tripled.   I have to find ways to bring it down.  The best way would be to grow a lot of my own, but with the trees around me sunlight is limited.  I know spending more money now on the right foods means spending less money later on medical bills.  I can't use coupons much anymore, because the coupons are for terrible food that will make us sick.

I can't seem to find a direction.  I know what I need to do, but I can't seem to choose one thing to start.  I don't like being weak, and this makes me feel weak.
