Hello. Today I worked 7.5 hours. It was a pretty good day. I had a few cleaning emergencies....but all in all I had a good day. I had to buy a BD gift for my neighbor today. I spent a bit but felt that I wanted to buy her a little something nicer. She is such a good help to me. My son and I went to a new Goodwill. New in one we have never been too. I found two tops and my son got about 7 items. We spent $35.00 We went to Dollar General and got his school stuff for the dorm room....just basics like soap and laundry stuff and what nots. He hates shopping. I would of rather of gone to WAL MART but was glad to get him to the store to complete this task. He leaves next Sunday.
Hey wanted to share....my daughter did not pass her driving test. This is her third try. I was partly angry with her and partly very sad and depressed. I was really banking on her driving and giving me a break in the driving all over town as a single mom syndrome. Yes I actually got very very depressed. I was in a funk for about 24 hours. The I decided there is nothing I can do and so move on and do what I need to do. My ex is not much help so I have to suck it up and make it work.
Maybe you single parents would understand what I am feeling. It just is very hard to do it all and having an extra driver was really going to help me. At this point she may be able to do it one more time....if she fails then she is back to waiting a year and I have to spend money to have her take driving school all over again. So we will see. Thankfully my ex has been taking her to the test because I have been too stressed.
I love my pantry as I feel I am spending way less money and can actually SEE what I HAVE ON HAND!! I feel very guilty for living like a slob in this area of my life for some time. To the frugal GODS...I repent! If you need to get a part of your life organized....please do it. Get things neat and tidy NOW. Don't be foolish like I was. Get organized. You will feel so good when you are done. Next on my list is getting my checkbook organized. I feel slobby in this area.
I hope this is a good week my dd goes back to school on Thursday...son leaves on Sunday....and the little ones go back next Thursday. My goal this week is to get to the pool and enjoy it! We shall see. Summer is almost gone! BOO HOO!
Enjoy your Sunday---I am back to working another 7-8 hours on Sunday. It feels good to make some extra money! I am thankful for the extra work.
A Good Saturday

I just remember how incredibly stressful it was, and she's probably feeling it moreso, knowing that being able to drive would relieve some burden from you. Maybe just some extra review is in order to help her calm nerves! :-) Good luck!

Everytime I have a single mom nightmare....somehow things all work out....God is good. It will happen.
YES I STILL love my pantry!!!!! Such joy to be able to keep things neat and keep things from falling thru those stupid wire shelves!!!!
