Today I am grateful for taking the first steps toward getting our finances back in order. There is still work to be done but for now, the weight off my mind, is worth all the extra stress these past few weeks.
Today I am grateful for slowly getting our house in order. Windows are slowly being replaced and clutter is slowly being eliminated. Hopefully by the year’s end we will have the girls in separate bedrooms.
Today I am grateful for libraries. While I wish ours was more local (it is 15-20 min away) I am looking forward to satisfying my urge to buy bunch of books with the joy of coming home with a bunch of books I can instead read for free.
Today I am grateful, as I always am, for the ability to fill my ‘fridge with food. I am also grateful for having enough to share with friends. I sent Miss Artistic to a friend’s house for a sleepover yesterday and sent enough vegetarian chili to feed the entire family.
Today I am grateful for the sleep I get on the weekend. It is just as broken as it is during the week (no matter what I do, or take, I wake up every hour or two all night long) at least I get to stay in bed longer and accumulate a bit more rest.
Blessings
Mama Kelly

Along with libraries, a really good outlet for ‘free’ books is Paperbackswap.com — we’ve been using it for years, and it allows me to read, then put back up books, but the potential to keep books we might need again. It’s also nice knowing that books you bought over the years that you really never wanted to KEEP will find new homes, saving other folks the money of buying them

I love libraries. I could not afford my reading habit any other way.
Finances are such a source of stress for me. Glad you were able to creatively ease the pressure.
Have a great week.

It’s so good when we take a weight from over our shoulders! Congrsts for this new step, Kelly!
Our local library is also 20 minutes away, I wish it was closer too! I’ll go there tomorrow to see if there are any Lois Bourne books available. She IS worthy reading.
And I’m just like you, no matter what I did, I always wake up once or twice during my nightsleep! *sigh*
I just left an award for you at my page. Hope you enjoy it!
Kisses from us.
