So am I the only one who feels like the harder I try to get ahead the further behind I seem to fall? My husband is a full time student so I have the only income for our family of four. Just when I think that we’re getting to a place where we can begin to exhale, something crawls out of the wood work and we are left back in the tight space we just crawled out of, or worse! Why do cars have to break down when rent is do? Why do we run out of diapers and toilet paper right after I pay school tuition? And really since when does thirty dollars only get you milk, eggs, bread, and some ground beef and baby food costs more than adult food for 1/4 the amount!(SCREAM!!) Sorry for venting, feeling frustrated!

I think I’m going to change this goal to a story a day not just before bed. I guess I overlooked the fact that sometimes my job keeps me out of the house until after they are in bed. ;-( That is really just an excuse though, there are 24 whole hours in the day, surely I can spare 10 min to read to my kids. The dishes will have to wait. I CAN DO THIS!!
Sometimes it's best to start at the bottom!

I got my basement organized this weekend. FINALLY! Now this year for Christmas I might actually be able to find all of the decorations. :)
