It's only the 20th
Ha! I beat the calendar by a few days this month!
Well, alot has happened in the last couple of months. Hubby started a new job about 6 weeks ago, and has just finished up his trial period. So, now he's in! Hallelujah! I'm waiting to hear if his benefits kick in now, or if there's a waiting period. I sure hope he finds out today, here I'm 15 weeks pregnant and I haven't been to a Dr. yet.
He was driving a truck before, and the pay would've been good, but we didn't get paid until the check from the customers/shippers came in. So sometimes we would only get $200 for the week even though he did $1400 worth of work. So now, he gets paid weekly, and the checks started coming in from the old job, and we finally got caught up on everything - even a little ahead! Also we've been able to start saving up for adding a room on to the house.
As for the genealogy, I thought that I would go through my file, enter the info that was in there into my worksheets, then throw away the (no longer needed) paperwork, thus depleting the clutter from my file....I think that my paperwork clutter has doubled. ((D'OH!!))
I did manage to declutter other things, though. I had boxes of paperwork, homeschool magazines and catalogs, old schoolwork, etc, etc, etc...I threw it all away! Woo Hoo!! We now have more space on the floor to walk on.
I suppose it doesn't sound like alot has happened, the stress of it all makes it seem like alot has happened. Now it seems like some of the clouds are clearing.

Jul. 4, 2006 - Congratulations
Posted by authorDonna Glad to hear your hubby's job is working out. That is a stress definitely NOT needed in the home school. Isn't decluttering fun? You always feel like you've accomplished something great by the end of the day. Have a great week.

Posted by homy711 I need to post, but, I've been working on school schedules for now. I think once we get started, I'll have a chance to start blogging again -- we're starting some school things the last week of Aug., and going full blast after Labor Day. Then the kids should be busy enough that I'll have a little time again!
