I'm doing 23 things
Well, I’m working as a bookbinder, part time, which is what I wanted, but its still not how I wanted it to be. I’m not working a few hours at it every day, like a normal part time job. Once very couple of months, I fly halfway across the country with my kids, and live in my parents house for a couple of weeks, or a little longer, and work myself into the ground – 15 hour workdays, with no days off, while also teaching the boys homeschool lessons. I earn good money – I could support my whole family with just my part time income. But my life is miserable. Working to earn the money is fine, but then I have to go home to that dangerous area, and live there. Its miserable. Hubby gets everything he wants, I get to give it to him. Not good.

That’s my goal anyway. I’ve got 4 people to feed, and even spending $200 is more than the budget will allow, but that’s my goal. MUST NOT BUY PREPARED FOOD!!!! It is so easy to slip into the usual rut of , lets buy a snack, or some little dessert, or whatever, but it adds up so very quickly. I have to buy meat, and there’s no where to buy it in bulk, so I’ll have to make up for it by not buying any snacks, desserts, prepared foods (chicken fingers, etc.). Everything is so expensive though. I hope and pray I can do this.
