Starting the New Year with a rocky start.

Posted 01-30-2010 at 11:30 PM by Backtoreality

It's been a tough month - not financially, but personally. Both DH & I make more $$$ than ever. But people around us are hurting. Our oldest (nephew) has been out of work for a year, just recently sold his house and is moving to Vegas on Monday. Why Vegas? Who knows. My sil and her husband are going thru a rocky spell, one that doesn't look like they are going to make it. Several people that we both know have past away this month - in their 50's!
Emotionally this has been a H%$&@...

Lazy day.

Why do I feel like a lazy bum today? Mostly because you really can't do anything on a holiday especially on the friday of the holiday weekend. I did exercise today-I read my 4 chapters today. Had my first no spend day of the year!!! Yoo-hoo

Son leaves tomorrow - back to his Naval life. God help me, there is an unexplain peace in the absence of your children! LOL It's the truth. I love them, I miss them greatly, but it's alot of work and disruption to my quiet life when...

It feels like winter!

Today was a little cool when I got up. I did turn down the heat this morning, but when I got home tonight after work it was cold! Winter has finally hit the midwest!

But... no snow. Yeah.

Up until today I still had onions in the garden. I did put lots of leaves by them so hopefully I can get a few more days out of them.

Monday 11/30

Posted 11-30-2009 at 11:16 PM by Backtoreality

The gals at the office were talking this am about their "purchases" this past weekend and they about dropped their jaws when I told them I didn't spend a dime this weekend!!!

DH & I spent every moment together and we loved it. I giggle every time I think about the time we spend together, because we just generally enjoy each others company and don't need to be "doing" anything. Life's simple pleasures.
