UGH! **Edit with slideshow
A few things- First, Stephen and I have just recently come to the realization that we’re poor. We’re both TERRIBLE at budgetting. If we actually HAD a budget, i think we’d both stick to it, but neither of us actually has the patience to make one. So we just realized that now that he’s gone back to his civilian job and we’re making less money than we were making before, we don’t have any money. Well, we have some, but we definitely don’t have any extra.
That stresses me out big time. I don’t like feeling pressed for money at all. I told him I could get a job, but with gas prices so high and with me not having any formal education outside of high school, any part time jobs I get will barely pay for gas. Plus his hours are so stupid that it’d be hard for me to find a job that worked around them and his sleep schedule. I could work in security (since I was a military police officer, I’m pretty much guaranteed a security job) but I can’t find one that’s part time. Anyway- Stephen’s stuck working overtime and I’m looking for the perfect job that doesn’t really exist. Too bad most of those stay at home jobs are scams, because I read about them and I want one SO BAD lol. If you happen to know of one that’s NOT a scam, let me know. 🙂
Other than that we’ve been really busy. The weather has been nice so the kids and I have been working to make a flower bed and a vegetable garden. We planted pumkins, watermelons, squash, radishes, carrots, tomatoes, strawberries, and blue corn. The corn, pumpkins, watermelons, and radishes have already started growing and the kids are really excited.
My mom is taking all of her animals to a school an hour north of us to do a petting zoo on Tuesday so I’ve been helping her prepare for that. We’re all going with to help her and so that Stephanie can show off her pony. I should get you all some pictures of all of the animals. I think I have a slideshow somewhere that I’ll try to find and share with you all so that you can see the farm.
Still haven’t had time to work on the dolls. Be patient! As soon as I have time and feel inspired I’m sure I’ll do a bunch of them at once, but I’m stressed and so not in the mood to write funny stuff.
Have a great day, everyone!
I can’t figure out how to imbed the slideshow into my post, so I’ll just give you the link, instead.

Wow, planting all those veges will help with the budget! You always need to think – what’s the best use of my time? And it may be that budgetting and not working is better for you and your family than working and not budgetting!!! KWIM? You certainly give your kids and Stephen a lot of benefit by being there for them. (Says the woman who works full-time – but in the circs it is the best thing for our family!!) REad my next entry on budgetting! I’ll try and put in words what I have learnt.
