It has been a few months since I have been online… I actually forgot I had a blog… So much has gone on. Its been a headache. For now we are staying with my mother & waiting to see how our plan works. Andrew is wanting to join the army… Hard decision, but after he made a 70 on the asvab we just decided he should go for it. We also got married on 2-8-13. Andrew came home and asked if I wanted to get married. I of course said yes so we made a trip down to the courthouse. I am happy with our decision instead of a big wedding. Easier. Ill try to get back and post what is happening or has happened. We are looking for diets kind of like the military diet or something to help Andrew enlist. We don’t have money for gyms so that is out. & it has been raining daily here. Thanks & I will be back soon (hopefully).

Family

Has there ever been a time when you just want to punch someone and keep on going til they are no longer breathing. Yes? Well, maybe not normal people. I know our families do that to us. We can be doing everything right for our son and still do everything wrong. We can pay all of our bills and have no money left over for fun and still be wrong. We can clean and take care of our house and bc of our son thinking the whole house is a jungle gym still be totally wrong. I am a new mother. I don’t have 5 kids running around. I have been raised around lil ones, but none of them my own. I have been volunteering for some time now with babies, but none of them mine forever. So this is all new to me. Am I wrong for running him to the hospital with a fever and using all of our gas? Am I wrong for using the little bit of money we have to buy his essentials and forget about the bills? What am I not doing right? This kid always has a rash. We use natural wipes, change him often, give him plenty of baths, tried every cream out there(always prescribed), and used plenty of air(going without diaper). We have also tried baking soda in the bath, vinegar in the bath(yes at separate times), and no acidy foods/drinks. And even though we’ve been to the doctor a million times for this and the hospital (once when he was bleeding really bad), I am still catching heat from this situation. I mean I did carry him for nine months, although I may have only known about him for 6 of those. He is mine. I birthed him. I stayed with him when everyone else had other priorities. I am his mother. I have been his only constant in his whole short little life. 

All I know to tell myself is pray.

I pray about this situation all the time. I have so much anger built inside me. I take it out on Andrew all the time. All the problems from my past have risen to today. I am so angry at the world. I am angry at myself.  Idk why I cannot get rid of this anger. Prayer and praise seem to be the only answer. Medicine just makes me out there. I cannot be the best mother on pills. The doctors thought I was doing better, but I just slept all day long or went and hung out with friends(with Trevor of course). It wasn’t fair for me not to be focusing my attention on him 24/7. He wasn’t getting what he deserved. So I prayed. It is still a struggle. Like this morning( it is currently 1:02 am). I would be giving you bible verses, but my mind is going in circles thinking nobody wants to hear this stuff and sleep! Andrew has been snoring for some time now… It is so hard to concentrate. Please let me know if you have this problem with family or loved ones. I can relate to you and actually make sense at a later date.

Organizing

This is still a work in progress but I’m attempting to organize all our household paperwork into 3 binders. Some call these Family or Home binders. If anyone has tips or suggestions please leave me a comment!
I wanted to bring all our weekly household organization into one binder, but that proved to be just too much of a headache. 1. Home 2. Fiances 3. Crafts

& then of course I have my coupon binder…. but thats at a later date…

some ideas
Bills – For checking off bills when they’re paid
Birthdays – for quick reference of upcoming birthdays
Budget – Monthly budget to keep track of spending (laminate and reuse!)
Contacts – For phone #, emails, addresses etc.
Home Costs – I use this to keep up with our house improvement costs that can be deducted off our taxes if we ever buy/sell a house
Register – Keeping track of income/expenses. I’ve been relying on Quicken for years but am hoping that writing instead of typing will help me watch our spending better. We’ll see!
Taxes – To keep track of tax deductions throughout the year instead of trying to remember them all when tax time rolls around.

I love to coupon. Yes I am an extreme couponer … Well almost. I love it with a passion. I can’t wait til Sunday to grab a newspaper… So I go online and grab a few coupons… I do not currently work so this is my way of providing for my family… Saving tons of money. If you have any coupons or ideas let me know! I also give out tips to people. In a few weeks I will post what we saved on Trevor’s birthday
