Hey Everyone...
I know that it has been quite some time that I have posted anything new.. I was super busy with the kids, work, trying to start a candle business etc etc.. Things have changed dramatically in my life and it's something new that I have to learn to deal with. I have recently lost my job.. So, this new life of not knowing how the bills are going to get paid is a new one for me.. As a single mom of 3 kids you tend to worry a lot more, than if I were just by myself. I look at this experience as a new journey.. Yep a new journey.. Nothing in your life prepares you for being unemployed..
The funny thing is, that all those friends that you used to have when you had a job, aren't there when the chips are down... Only the few that actually are your friends are there for you... It's amazing how you look around and they don't call or write or even text.. That's ok.. If you can't be with me when the chips are down, don't plan to be near me when I'm back up again... So, since I have all this new "free time" I will be able to to BLOG more.. Feel free to read and respond and maybe even ask.... I have all the time in the world now.. That is, when I'm not online sending out my resume..
I have realized a few things... 1. I clean and re-clean a whole bunch now... I never realized how much hair the dogs leave on the floor.. Yes I would vacuum once a day, now I'm up to a couple times a day... No, I'm not OCD!! I just can't stand the tile floor with the hair on it...Lol... 2. I'm trying not to use my car so much.. Yes the gas is expensive now and on a tight budget unless I have to go out I don't.. 3. I've become the "mom taxi".. Not that I wasn't before, but now more than ever.. 4. Dinner is cooked a lot earlier.. I'm done by 4:30 p.m. The kids love it.. Yes we are eating earlier but that is better for the digestion anyway.. 5. I want to start couponing..lol Yes you heard me!!! Couponing... I need to figure out how people do it.. I don't need 65 cans of Ragu Sauce, but I could surely use extra laundry detergent, toilet paper and all the extra stuff that you can't be buying all the time... So if you coupon, please let me know how it's done... :)
Well, I can say one thing.. I've realized that I have been BLESSED with my health, great kids and the gumption to keep moving forward... It's not easy and I have to keep my FAITH up at all times...
Have a great Easter and I hope to hear from some of you sooner than later...
