be self sufficient

ok researched about biodegradable plant pots and homemade candles.

Plant pots are suprisingly easy to make out of newspaper. And when repotting you can just repot the whole pot rather than risk damaging the roots. This is something i definatly want to try out when i can find some newspaper. It sounds like there is a knack to it so ill see how it goes. Ill make it a goal. If it goes well i will use this technique regulaly as it is practicly free to make. Very cost effective!

Homemade candles sound very fun. I will have to buy a few things to try it out though so this will have to wate a bit. However i have found websites that sell molds and colours of all variaties so this could be a prospective hobby! This is something im definatly going to try because if im any good i can sell them on ebay and give them as presents. As i am a student, every little helps.

Todays research has been productive and helpful.

Done a little research and added to the list i keep (i have a poor memory). I learned a little about power options, homegrown cotton and non chemical cleaning products. The latter i can start using at uni when the stuff my mom brought me runs out. the other two will come in handy for when i finish uni and move out.

The site seem quite useful so ive signed up to their newsletter and set a reminder to do some research tomorrow.

My husband will do just about anything for me. I think I take advantage of knowing this sometimes. I treat him with love and respect too, but I’m always asking him to do things for me that I can do for myself just because I know he will do them! I never use to be like this!

I want to know that even if my man leaves me and my parents get rid of me that I can still support me and my son by myself

but I am still emotionally dependent on people that i shouldn’t be.

i guess i AM self-sufficient….but, i’m just able to get by…..i want to do more than just get by….i’ve been a single mom since Feb of this year….and i’m getting by on my own, things are ok….i just want to be able to do more for my kids….but, i give them what matters most, and that’s the best i can do..there’s a reason for everything, and there’s a reason we’re not priveleged financially….and that’s to keep us humble, and keep us true to ourselves, and make us stronger, more determined people….and to help us keep our priorities focused on the REAL important things in life
