Ugh...

So lately I feel like not only am I overwhelmed by all that needs to be done, but I have no motivation either. That could be from several things. Stress, too busy, kids don't help like they should... the list could go on. But my gut feeling is a big part of it is I am slipping into my depression... so I am going to try my medication, so if you see me this next month, just check if I took it. Also if you have a day free and have nothing to do, give me a call... you can help in my mission for massive organization... I have a deadline now as I am trying to start school this summer semester. That is all for now. Thanks

The PLAN

So here it is... My Plan.

I am now faced with raising 4 kids alone. So I feel like I need to have some things in my life put in order. So here it is, my plans laid out.

WORK/SCHOOL: I am currently working 3 jobs, I teach dance, preschool and work as a cashier in a restaurant. I have my AS in English and I am planning on finishing school for my teaching certificate. I am waiting for verification on which school I will be attending then depending on which I will start ASAP or summer semester. When I begin full time in summer I will need to drop my cashier job (which has been for insurance only anyway, and I will qualify for medicaid now) Then I will finish school in hopefully a year and a half. So then I will hopefully quickly get a job teaching... but will still continue teaching dance.

HOUSE: We are working on fixing it up a little at a time. But hopefully we can get it done rather quickly. Let me know if you have any housing repair expertise that you would be willing to share with us...
As far as cleaning and organizing goes to get it ready for repairs, I am hoping to take a couple days to just bust it out. I need to purge some of our junk so if you are making a trip to DI let me know... I may have some extra items you can drag along.

I know there were other "plans" I was going to mention... got kinda tired explaining everything repeatedly... but I can't recall them right now, I will edit this when I remember them.

Day 100... BIG PLANS

Dinner group...

Here is my latest goal... and it would be fun to have some help with it... Since hubby passed, my poor kids have been living on fast food... so my sister was trying to get ready for her new baby, and wanted to stock up on frozen food dinners, and she had a great cook book with recipes as well... as a great idea for a "group" where friends make a bunch of one meal and then the group gets together and trade, so then you have several different meals in the freezer, ready to go when needed.

So here is what I am hoping for... 6 to 12 friends, family, neighbors, etc. Who live near and would want to start a dinner share group. It would cut drastically on my fast food budget and get me cooking healthier for my family. It will help save time on busy night, and with 4 kids it is ALWAYS busy... let me know if you are interested... post a comment, or message me... I would love to get it going sometime this month, the sooner the better.
