I just wanted to let everyone know that I am taking a blog break.We, Matt and I, keep getting hit from all sides right now: financially, personally and everything in between. Nothing I can talk about at the moment and some things not ever. I've been hurt and blindsided by one thing. Shocked by another. Scared by yet another. A combo of all those emotions over even more situations. And overall stressed out about everything coming at once.So I'm just not "feeling it." Not sure when I'll be … [Read more...]

Fitness Challenge and Word of the Year
Remember that word of the year thing? My word is determination. I broke it down to financially, materially, and physically. I'm doing fairly well with the first two. That last one....not so much.

It isn't even so much a looks thing (although I would love to be hot for my husband). I have some family medical history that … [Read more...]

Drove my hand right into the teeth of the saw. Sliced my pinky finger. Fair first aid got it bandaged up while Matt packed up the van. Thankfully I had family there to take Abby while Matt and I went to the ER.Eight stitches later....I'll spare you the picture as it is kind of gross but I cut right across the … [Read more...]
