Two Checkbooks?
Yes, I have two checkbooks. I’m not as disciplined about my money as I ought to be, so I found a way that I could keep myself from spending too much. When I had only one checkbook, all of my savings was accessible through that account as well. Which meant that the emergency fund often […]
Basketball Season Starts
I didn’t get as much done as I wanted over the long weekend, since I had a killer migraine that started on Thursday and lasted until Tuesday afternoon. Still, I did get the boys room, the kitchen and laundry room, and the bathrooms completely clean (as in, pulling out the furniture and dusting / vacuuming behind […]
Loooong Weekend! Rah!
It’s Thanksgiving, and the biggest thing I am grateful for at the moment is a four and a half day weekend. I got off early this afternoon — work let out at 3! And tomorrow, of course, is the big family day with the huge feast and day-long board game frenzy. Friday, the kids are […]
Amazing!
This week has been so much less stressful than last week. I finally screwed up my courage and told the music director at church that I simply had to quit everything. That I would be out of adult choir indefinitely; that I’d be willing to help with kids’ choir, but not to be the lead […]
BEHIND!
I hate feeling like I’m so far behind I’ll never get caught up, but that’s where I am right now. Absolutely exhausted, overwhelmed, and getting close to hopeless that I’ll ever get out of it. I’ve got a certification exam in three weeks, and I just HAVE to study for it. I NEED to fold […]
Looking Forward to the Weekend
Yeah, and it’s only Monday. What can I say? It’s just that I finally start making headway on getting the house in order on weekends, only to have to stop and go to my job on Monday — the job that keeps that roof over my head. By the time the weekend rolls around again, […]
Tough Month!
This has been a busy time at work, which is why my Blogit earnings are going to stink this month. I’m juggling work, home-schooling, church, children’s choir, Broadway, handbells, freelance writing, and home. WAY too much! So my blogging has suffered, which means that, at last check, I’m due to earn $1.50 this month. LOL! […]
Bunk Beds….
The kids like their new bunks, except for a couple of minor things. The older one has to dodge the ceiling fan to get into his bed on the top bunk. When the fans were installed in this house (way before we moved in), they were installed smack-dab in the middle of the ceiling. The […]
The Kids Got Their Wish!
We finally put their beds together as bunk beds today. I’ve been trying to do that since something like May! But X lost the pins that secure the beds together somewhere up in the insulation of the attic when he started the (still unfinished) attic-decking project. And the beds are “This End Up!” furniture, which […]
Making Progress!
It’s been kind of crazy here for the last few weeks, but I am SO happy to find that we are making progress. A large part of that progress is due to three little lists I created for my sons at the beginning of the month. The first list is a daily chore list. It’s […]
