Mother of many

Hello
I had an adventuresome day. Dove had her
The 5th graders were having sex ed.
the girls got a bag including some deodorant but the boys did not for there was no funding for them. So I got the goose flying over head as it were and followed Him to a Wal-Mart got 21 of the deodorant and then had another store hold another 25 so I drove over and got them.
the boys are now set to not be embarrassed of BO
I felt better today than I have in some time. It was so wonderful to do the chase. The goose fly's over and the view! Riding on that breeze made me feel revived.

The call came in that there is a cancellation and so tonight I will the sleep study, I will get set up with the CPAP. This a week ahead of time. BLESS GOD!
I am sooooooo tired


ps just before departure here
could sure use you prayers
Dove caused me a bad fall. She did not intend it just forgot herself and got under my legs held on to my dress I fell hard againt the iron bed frame
i have need to really steep
pain pills not an option  oh trials
steve and i just can't believe it i hit my head on the dresser

god is good all will work out my sweet 12 turned 6 and for that instant in time I go in the mix

Consider the Ant

A wonderful dream and awaken to start the day mid dream, tired my eyes open and I drag myself up and begin the day.
Last night I really so enjoyed saving Dove's project.  She had a map of the U.S to mark cut and assemble.

Sweet child got a hard lesson is pacing her homework. As diligent as she has been she did not give herself enough time. She was working so hard on it and had messed up the glue. Spending an hour or so we got the project saved. She is a good kid and learned a good lesson regarding time management.

Lethargy is the mode of late and it is really getting old.
She had asked me to read to her at bed time, requesting the scriptures. Blessed am I that she did so.
They spoke to me as well.

Dash had the need to get help with his room. Today I am home all day. We awoke with ANTS thousands of ants in Dash's room. It is my desire to help him with his room and has been for a while. Those ants were so much more diligent than I.

Today I will be doing his room in fazes. It looks like a killing field in there. WINDEX like "my Big Fat Greek Wedding" (movie) it really is good for everything. So every thing is shaken out and the critters spayed with it as they drop to the floor. I have yet to find the draw. I think he spilled some juice in there.

Inch by inch. Yet this lethargy is a pain! I think the high iron may be like lead in my pants HA!

I love my day, this life for the family. Lunches, ants and breakfasts. Vitamins dolled out and projects loaded onto the school bus. Steve left the sweetest card on the baking counter and a movie called "The Notebook".

It is my birthday today. I am 49 today. Oh where does the time go. Into the embrace of Love and the days of favor and mercy. A life time of trial to mature and refine me. All the dross a gift in itself.
I love my life. I am grateful to have been born, survive and thrive. To live the dream. Motherhood with an amazing mate at my side.

And ants underfoot to remind me of the diligence that has gained me such a reward as this. Debt free as of Tuesday. All medical paid off. The future is promise that despite and even because of  every challenge I will still have the mind to thank My God the Lord of all for all that He is in me and for me.

My birth a gift, my life a challenge to keep me striving for more character and humility.
I am blessed.

Explination of absence on the computer

busy girl!

Setting my financial house in order.
The tackle post is not just so but I did my best to explain it.
On to the full day here
Enjoy the wonder of the day. It will never be here just like today again.

Tackle it Tuesday Yearly projection of budget

Tackle it Tuesday



My Sweet Girl gets her braces off today


 We (bless God) with a lot of hard work will be paying it off in full today!


 A freezer and deep freeze inventory as well as pantry sets me to know what lead in adds to keep watch for in order to use the grocery budget most wisely.

an inventory on all medications was also accomplished this week


By utilizing our insurance mail order plan we are able to get three months  (90 day with three refills) benefit. It is important to keep an eye here. I have over purchased before when a refill was made prematurely.


The over flow was also inventoried.
These are the lead ins that with coupons were pennies on the dollar.
We will not need any shampoo that's for sure for the rest of the year.


 Last night four hours were invested into our budget for the full year. In order to fully know where we will stand. On months with extra months that were lean or under the funds were held to cover the following month. The grocery budget reduced (a real discipline here to cook more and more) a menu weekly does truly make a difference.
I have tried to make a copy of the type of spreed sheet I use being a bit computer knowledge limited I did my best
Our budget has now been projected out through December. This way we have placed every cent to a designed place. If one month is short we use the prior month to cover it by cutting out expenses or cutting them down asap.This my friends is a great discipline and it has great rewards.
We are out of debt!
Except the mortgage.
This year we tightened the boot strings even more by taking a 22 year mortage down to a 15 year.
We are forced to find an extra $150 to cover the increased pmt.
Rather than adding $150 to the principal we were able to refinance for almost 1% point under (in our case for free). With a refund due to escrow overage.

By Maya Angelou

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
