February

February was a tough month both mentally and financially. 

The light at the tunnel was Phoenix.  Kids had a blast and it was great way to end an otherwise crazy chaotic month. 

My goals were blah.  We paid off  more credit card debt then I though but I didn't sew as much as I wanted and I didn't run as much as I should have.  I also didn't read or declutter as much as I planned to.   Although I did reach my goal for losing weight.  So not a total loss.

At some point I will file taxes and write a check to the state of Idaho.  I keep putting it off for several reasons. 

At some point we will a check from FSA and our gap insurance.  Although a ten page EOB probably will take a while to get through.

I think it was just one thing after another and I never felt like I gained my footing. 

Maybe because I worked more.  Which lead to more in savings.  Still not where I want to be.  But better then it could be. 

Hoping spring is just right around the corner.  Looks like that groundhog was right after all. 

Just found out that work is going through some major changes.  12 hour shifts.  Good and bad.  Life keep changing. 

Wonder if I will make to where I want to be at the end of the year.  Today was a good productive day.  I should just own that and do the same tomorrow. 

March Goals:
Sew one project
Cook one new meal
Lose two pounds
Read one non fiction
Read one fiction
Declutter 31 bags
Save 10%
Read 31 chapters of Book of Mormon, OT, NT and D&C
NO NEW DEBT

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness. School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding. There
