The battle begins

Posted 06-03-2009 at 06:38 PM by amandaklayland1
I am so tired of being short every month. I start strong every month and then in the end I break. I was a stay at home mom for 3 years and when we realized our income was going to go down, we felt that we needed two incomes to make sure all bills where paid. It seems that I fall short on the most important thing. Organization! I must fight the urge to eat out or have carry out. I struggle with my husband and children on household chores. My husband does well on keeping things picked up on his DAYS OFF but when he works is when we struggle the most. He works 4 days on and 4 days off. The house is nice and neat when he is off but when he works and I work. I come home and cook and he falls asleep in chair. I started organizing a little every night. A few kitchen cabinets, a couple of drawers, and I throw away a few things. I hope I can get my life in control. It is a constant battle. I think to be frugal you must be organized. I hope I can do this!

We move in 1 week

I never thought the day would come when I said that!

Last night, we went to Best Buy and picked up a dvd player with two screens and two pair of headphones on clearance for $119.00! A worthy investment for our trip! We also picked up several of the movies our kids had been wanting to see: Bolt, Nim's Island, and The Spiderwick Chronicles....

I've been running like crazy and one week from today I'll be at girls camp with my daughters. they needed a volunteer who can make a 4 mile hike with the 2nd year girl's. I can't do much but boy I can hike! I love the trails DH made all over our wonderful hills here at home. I never know what I'll see along the way when I go walk them. He put...

My nose is pierced

Posted 06-01-2009 at 12:43 PM by DohDohBird


it hurt a lot. It bled a little. it was sore all day the first day. But now, it's fine. I barely ever notice it. And it's cute.

The black around the tiny stud is the marker she used to mark the spot. It's gone now.
