harping on money...AGAIN!

why is money the bain of my existance...i've started feeling stress over the impending "take over" of the house...utilities are going to be btwn $400 and $500 a month projected, then whatever rent will be, we'll have a car payment and car insurance will increase, then the school loans increase by about $200 next year so we'll go from $800/month to $1000/month on those and then of course all the other expensese that we have...we want to put aj into preschool next year and if i can get her into the one i want it will be like $60/month...which is actually REALLY good compared to all the others i've looked at but it's fairly tough to get a kid in there if you've not already had one enrolled w/ her, she only takes like 8 kids a year...i'm seriously rediculously stressed about all of it...which i know is stuipd but money really has a way of just twisting me into some crazy knots!
i know it's stupid to get worked up over money the way i do, alas i have yet to figure out a way to not do it...i can't help but think about money and how it's all going to work out...thankfully we've been so blessed that it has all worked out, things haven't always been pretty but it's always worked out thanks to a loving HF
now if rich gets his upgrade either just before or just after his 2nd year roll over we'll be "ok" but i'll admit i REALLY REALLY wanted to be paying quite a bit extra twds his school loans so we can get rid of those loans sooner than later...if i was able to apply $2k extra a month to them beyond their normal payment we could be done with them in like 6 years...how awesome would that be!
