Morning Ramblings

Posted in With The Family

Well the morning is here, and its a wonderful one. As soon as I stop my brain from over thinking that I won't get all my bills paid. My dh's work changed things, he gets paid weekly now but lets just say some weeks are really slim pickings. And its putting added stress on me since I figure the bills. Our largest payment would be the mortage, and I have to basically take half from one week and half from another just to make it and the rest of both those paychecks go into groceries and gas for dh to get back and forth to work. Sometimes a little extra sometimes not.

 

I need to really re figure things. I had been taking $100 out each week for groceries and most of the time we don't hit that. As in we add things up as we go through the store so we know ahead of time. But now I think I need to get back to $100 maybe twice a month and the rest just half that.

 

I need to do menu's up again and know what we'll be eating and buy accordingly. It can be done.

 

I honestly wish we had an outdoor woodstove though because it would save me some money come winter. We have a programmable thermostat for the furnace and we still end up filling the tank 3-4 times a yr. Well that results in our budget payment with the propane company being $150 a month. The last 4 months its been way less. But still *Sigh* when it goes back up that's another thing to stress about.

 

I know things will work out, just need to get my head to realize it as well. I'm a worry wart.

 

Anyway here's a bit of a funny, I've been wearing a triangular headcovering lately. This morning my son, whose 8.5 came to me with a bandana and wanted me to put it on his head. It was really cute and to be honest I'm sure it has to do with me wearing something similar.....lol.

 

Ah the joys of kids.

About Me

Everyday ramblings about my family life, with my husband and son, on the farm. I'm Emily, mom to one son who I'll refer to as CJ. Married for 12 years been together almost 14 years. We live in North Central, Minnesota in the boonies. We are on our 4th year in Homeschooling and its been fun and a great descision. Sometimes my posts will relate to personal issues I'm dealing with while trying to give my son the best education I can. We've tried several things along this short journey of ours and hoping somethings will stay or we'll find things that work better soon.
