I didn't report in last week, I didn't have minutes on my phone. So I am failing at saving money obviously! Haha But other than that I have been doing well. Of course, nothing is perfect. In a perfect world we would all be bored, right? I have been concentrating mostly on being a better spouse. We have been together for almost 12 years, and we have hit somewhat of a dry spell.... 12 year itch? Lol I don't believe our relationship is in danger or anything....I believe just the every day stresses...finances, bills, work, sex or sometimes lack there of, etc...has just temporarily taken toll on us. I painted my laundry room this weekend and redecorated a little, to keep my mind occupied. It was fun. My son helped paint...we had a blast! |

Keeping this short bc it's 6am and I am bout to get the kiddo ready for school! I am happy with this past week....I've even got my laundry room tore apart (to re decorate) and I'm thinking about painting it.....not sure yet.
Either way....I am proud of myself for all I am trying to accomplish! ❤ |

This week has been great! I have started writing more...it is a HUGE stress relief....getting my many rambling thoughts out and onto paper...totally therapeutic, I recommend it! (Even if you burn it after....it still makes you feel amazing just having getting it off your chest! My paycheck was a little shabby but we've made it through the week, now just 5 more days to go! Haha My only concern is that, the appeal for my financial aid, I have my statement finished and I have one of the two back-up statements. The person who is supposed to be writing my 2nd statement I haven't heard from. I tried contacting him all week, I know he is very busy at work, he is part manager at a hotel... so I can understand it being difficult to carve out some time to write me a statement. I am getting nervous....I wanted to have all of this turned in by last Wednesday at the latest. Looks like I will just strive to have everything turned in by THIS Wednesday, at the latest. If I don't hear from him by Monday, I will just have to ask someone else.
Aside from that, all has gone really well! I am actually about to eat a piece of cake to celebrate....yes, I baked a cake at midnight! Haha don't judge me. I was hungry and wanted something sweet!!
Anyways....this week is going to be amazing. Because...I am beautiful, I am strong, I am not better than anyone and no one is better than me, I am loved, God loves me, and I love me! Nothing and No one is going to get in my way and keep me from being the best me I can be!!! (Pep Talk....I read somewhere it builds confidence and really works! Maybe if you're reading this, you should try giving yourself a pep talk?!
If there is actually anyone reading this...I am praying for you, so that you will be successful in completing your goal(s)!!!
BOUT TO GO PUT ICING ON MY CAKE!! YUM!! WISH I COULD SHARE WITH YOU!!! |

I have not started school yet, I do not start until the spring semester which starts in january. However I have finished my appeal letter to the financial aid appeals committee. I have also finished all documents needed for school and have submitted them. I have completed my fafsa application and they say I qualify for 2 different grants....basically it is now up to the school if they will accept my appeal and lift my financial aid suspension. FINGERS CROSSED! Although, I am feeling very optimistic!
My other goals have been met this week as well. I have cooked dinner every single night. (Except Friday because that's pizza night!) I have began reading a book on how to be your spouses better half....how-to books I know anyone reading this probably thinks I am lame....but this book is pretty interesting, talking about differences between men and women (not the obvious ones guys, but more about the way we think) which I find neat....I have always wondered why my husband needs sex (what seems like) every day, and I on the other hand, can go without sex for a week or longer without feeling the need to connect and be loved. It explains this in the book on physical, emotional, and mental levels...
ANYWAY....I tend to ramble.... Checking in, yes I have done extremely well to "stickk" to my goals this week and will continue to do so. So far I am having fun, challenging myself! |
