I went to local nice shopping place I go to rarely. I took my 3 girls and boy it was terrible! My little one wanted everything she saw. After about 1 hour I was so depressed. I just can not take the girls out anymore till way after January. I just could not take it. Everything seems to cost so much. Again I got so bummed out. Today at church 4 members got up to say why they are so grateful and thankful. It just was hard to hear that and then go out to the stores. Then I hit the grocery store which made me more depressed. Everything is costly there.
Not a great Sunday. I was so glad I was at church today---that part was wonderful! I need to really pull it together this week and buckle down a bit. I have to really watch the money. My kids are at their dad's this weekend so that will help....low heat and not purchasing! I also will not go out with anyone.....another way to save. I continue to throw away every catalog that I get and every postcard for this sale or great deal. It is just not even worth a second of my time anymore. So pulling it together is my theme this week.

While my son was home we raked and raked BIG TIME! That was a HUGE Blessing! We got so much done! I have a huge yard.....so the extra hands was great. My arm is killing me today but I am glad I needed the work out to get rid of some stress! The vets are coming this week so we are working on getting donations ready to go on the porch for a pick up. My little one has so many clothes that are hand me downs and she never wears half of them......so out the door they are going.


Back to work on Monday for me along with school for the girls. I have enjoyed the time off.....it was sure nice.
