That will give me something to reward myself with for those pound losses. When I get caught up on other projects I may start making more blocks to catch up on the 20 pounds I lost before October.
It's fun to check in here and see what everyone else is doing!

Yes, Missy. Good job. I had no doubts, love. I guess I got behind with the threads because I just sent one to you telling you I would pray for you. Oh well! Extra prayers don't hurt. Love the picture of you and Mike.

I'm trying to do my nightly workout and the motivation just isn't there. Seems like it is taking everything I got to get this done tonight. UGH!!!!! I think mentally this has been a hard week for me. The kids are on fall break and driving me nuts. Ofcourse there is the thing with DD losing her retainer and the bills. It seems like the price of everything has gone way up but our income is smaller. DH found out yesterday that where he works they are not gonna give raises this year to anyone but I bet the big wigs will get theirs. Sometimes I get so tired of living like this. I can't afford to buy new clothes for my kids when they need them. I don't even want to think about Christmas, it's hard enough at B-Days. Sorry I will stop whinning.

Although we are retired for several years, we are feeling the result of the economic problems in the grocery store, our utility bills, our taxes, etc. Your kids will be fine and will do well no matter the situation and you have the right to whine all you want! :) We have been there when our kids were growing up so I certainly understand your feelings. Don't stress over things you cannot control. I'll say a prayer for you and yours.

I heard this in a sermon when I was a child and have remembered it ever since:
For every worry under the sun
There is a remedy or there is none
If there is one - seek till you find it
If there is none - then never mind it!
For some reason that has stuck with me and gives a bit of peace when I find my brain in a whirl. My dad was bipolar (manic-depressive back then) and I thought that little poem would cure him! That didn't work, but ... it has helped me over the years.

1. Teach you kids to make their own clothes...simple pants, skirts, and shirts..
2. Hit the thrift stores/garage sales
3. Reassess the amount spent on BD and Christmas? Make the gifts.

It's an awesome viewpoint on life.
