Things right now aren't horrible. They haven't been HORRIBLE in a few years now. But they certainly aren't easy. We struggle each and every day to make it work without stressing ourselves out to the point of making ourselves sick.
Right now we are super super tight on our bills and stuff. We have the risk of an overdraft this next month (i doubt it will happen, cause i'm trying to see if i can work enough to cover the bill that will need to be there, but i don't know if it's gonna happens) If it doesn't, it's no huge deal. As long as that's the only overdraft we end up with it shouldn't be a problem. That's 25 bucks, but at least it's ONLY 25 bucks. It could be a lot worse. And with our Rent this next month we will have to pay a part of it late again. We HAVE to pay our electric bill on time. We cannot afford to lose the average monthly billing. So we will have to pay the electric bill, the rest of the rent, and then pay the remainder of the rent out of the next check plus late fees. At least it will only be late for one month. It will kinda catch itself up the next month, so yeah, we can do that.
And right now i'm trying to find new places to clean, but it's hard with the girls. A lot of places would want me to be there at a certain time when i won't have a babysitter, and i certainly can't afford childcare. So it's just a matter of figureing it all out. I'm hopeing one day to not even have to worry about it. I"m taking those cake decorating classes, and i'm hopeing that i get good enough to start selling them for a little extra money on occassion. That would be nice. If it happens, great, if it doesn't no biggie. But i know i will enjoy it, for sure.
I know i get to go start cleaning again at one of the houses i clean. He had to save and pay bills and hadn't been able to afford to pay me to clean. I was tempted to go out there anyway, just to get out of the house. But the gas money just wasn't worth it, so i didn't. So that will give us a tiny bit of money extra this week, which will be nice. And then i have a feeling i'll be cleaning out at the other house again sometime in the next week or two. At least, i kinda hope i will be, lol. It feels good to put in a days work and get paid for it. yeah, i clean all the time at home, but i don't get paid for that. it's just one of the responsibilities that i have to do. The joys of being a stay at home mom, lol.
Speaking of cleaning, i need to get some of the little clutter fixed again. There are a lot of little things that i need to find a place for, or that i need to get rid of. I need to get a couple shelves to hang on the wall so i can put up some of my pretties. I've got a ton of breakable things that i don't have a place for right now because everything i have up is within Desiree's reach. Gotta love her, but she IS two, ya know? She doesn't understand that that pretty ball will shatter if she tries to bounce it. So until i get some shelves i can put up out of her reach, i can't put up my good collectables. We just put up the resin ones, and they are even getting broken. BLAH.
Right now, i'm gonna get off the computer and go clean the living room and Ivy's bedroom while Ivy does her homework. And then get the main bathroom clean. And then here in a little while i'm gonna let Ivy play jumpstart, and MAYBE get a nap if Desiree will lay down again, lol. Maybe, maybe not, idk. To be honest, i'm not horribly worried about it. It would be nice to get a nap, but i'm not sure it will happen.
And here in a few minutes i'm gonna put on the stuff for our dinner. We're gonna do a slowcooker stroganoph (yeah, i can't spell, whta of it?) for dinner. it's supper easy. Noodles, Dinty moore beef stew, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream. YUMMY. Put all of it in the crock pot but the sour cream, and let it cook for around 2 hours. So about 5ish i'm gonna put that on so it will be done about 7 when i'll start waking Ruben up. We didn't work out this morning, so we have to do it tonight. I'm not looking forward to that, lol. mainly because i'm still sore from monday, hehe. Guess that's what i get for letting myself get so out of shape. The hardest thing i'm having a problem with are the pushups. My shoulders already hurt, and doing that just makes it worse. But it needs to happen. Even if i don't actually do it all the way to 100, just getting that upper body strength back will be nice. Even if i'm stuck on week one for a month, at least i'm doing something every single day, and hopefully i will eventually get back to where i can do a lot more. I managed to get 10 push ups and 30 sit ups on the exaustion test, which is STUPID low. I knew i was out of shape, but come on! That's just BAD!
I've become obsessed with stargate. The movies, the series (both SG-1 and Atlantis) I've been watching stargate SG-1 during the days, and Ruben and I are watching Atlantis together in the mornings and evenings. And there are a TON of episodes on there, so i've always got something to watch even when there isn't really anything on tv, lol.
Tonight is the season finale of Master Chef, which i'm excited for. I like that show. Gonna be sad to see it go, but i also want to know who wins!! Totally wish i could do something like that. maybe someday i will be able to make it work.
I've got a lot of dreams. And i'm just over 3 years away from turning 30. Think it's time to put some of those dreams into action. no use sitting around on my butt huh?
