Busy Saturday planned.

We heat with wood. A wood stove in our living room. Our house is only 1,200 sq feet. Pretty small by todays standards but we love it. to save money in the winters we heat with a wood stove. Which I both Love and Hate. Love because it costs Nothing to use. It doesn't make our elect bill go up, it doesn't cost us anything to buy wood because Billy cuts our own wood. Plus I love the warmth that it lets off in the house. ahhh! But then I Hate it because of the mess. We get wood chips and bark all over the place. I am constantly vacumming and sweeping up the mess. Plus making sure that there is plently of wood on the porch, kindling, you name it to start said fire in the stove. But to me the Loves out weigh the hates. I'd Love to have central heat/ air one day. maybe once we pay off the house in another 3-4 years. of course we have big plans for when "After the house is paid off" lol. a big deck, maybe add a playroom onto the house. the list goes on...
Well anyway today i'm crazy busy, mostly In the house, laundry, dishes, moving furniture.. Plus we need to take the storage boxes Back out to the storage and start putting wood on the porch. Ahhh such is the life of a country family LOL

Just documenting

AF Started right on time again. Yah!! October 24th. with spot and then wham lol. today 10-25

What a Week!

I should actually say Weekend too. This past week has been busy. Big time. Monday I was off, Tuesday I subbed for 1st grade, Wed off. Thursday kindergarten and then Friday 1st grade again. i'll tell ya after a week of dealing with little kiddos all day I was bushed. Plus then having to come home and Cook and clean and do all the housework stuff that Never EVER gets done unless I'm the one to do it! You'd think since BIlly was laid off Thurs & Friday he'd have helped me out a little. Nope think again. of course thursday was a busy day for him too. He had to go to the unemployment office to file for unemployment. then later that day run 21/2 hours away for his dentist appt. But friday would have been nice if he would or Could have done something around here. *whatever!* I'm used to it. doing it All! Yesterday and today i'm cleaning and doing the Endless laundry that has piled up to the ceiling. He's cutting wood with the kids and I Finally got around to going to get groceries a little while ago. Let's just say CRAP! I hate buying groceries. Because no matter how I try I Still spend Way more then I wanted to. I even use the calculator on my Cell to add up stuff as I put it in the cart. Forget Fresh food. I can't afford it. I hate this.
Man it seems that all my posts lately have been bad. Or at least bitchy. So here's a good thing. lol. We had family dinner last night @ my mom/dads house. Almost all of our family was there. including my Uncle who's in from California. He's such a sweetie. I miss him while he's gone. I got to talk to my cousin L who's over seas with her DH, she's been dealing with bi-polar and manic depressive. She sounded pretty good last night on the phone. I gave her mom my Email addy so she can send me L's. I want to keep in close as possible touch with her and be there for her. She's so alone over there.
She'lbie has Cheer camp this coming week. She's SO Beyond excited! it's after school so i'll b e picking them up. I'm Praying hard that I can Sub this week so it's not an extra trip to town just for cheer camp. Plus I NEED to work. Christmas is coming up and i'm scared as to where we're going to find the $$ for stuff. I'm Thankful to God that I got a jump on shopping though so that I do have a few things for my family. But there is still Sooo much more to get.

Just a bunch of Stress!

Sorry to complain but it's my blog I guess. lol.
Things just seem to be going from bad to badder lately. We're broke. And I hate it! Of course everyone hates being broke. :( And billy is So stressed out about his job he's grumpy and takes it out on us. Well not really the grumpy part but he sulls up and won't smile or talk. I hate when he does that. But I Totally understand it. I feel the same way. You get used to having X amount of money each month and when that is gone it's hard! Damn hard! I took Shelbie to the Dr today and found out that some how, and I Totally don't understand how, we had a $42.00 balance from FIVE years ago!!!! How the Hell is that?! So of Freaking course I had to pay that! $42.00 I didn't plan on Spending! We've got a $144.00 Elect bill to pay Plus around a $200.00 Insurance payment due Next week! I had to transfer money from our Savings that we use to pay our Mortagage to Checking to pay that. Now our mortagage will be late. Shit! I need a job! A Steady job that I know what days i'm going to w ork. I wish I could say that Subbing is going to work out but it's so unpredictible! The money is nice when I sub $60.00 a day but I don't get paid till the very end of the month. I need it now of course. I Hate this. I hate the stress it puts on Billy. And on me.
I just have to keep telling myself that God will provide.
