Abracadabra

- July 08, 2024

Okay... I know all of you are probably wondering what's with the magic trick title. So I'll explain. For years Joey made sure that I believed there was no way in hell I could make it without him. Then when Brandi and I got together he really started in on the "y'all wouldn't be able to afford all this without me", "if I don't make the money then you'll lose everything", "without me, all of this is gone". Well guess what?!? He's been gone for nearly 2 months and we have it figured out. The car is refinanced and now has lower payments. The household is running smoothly for the most part. The kids still have everything they need. And all the bills are paid and up to date. What money we are able to put back over the next month will cover necessities for back to school. But after that's taken care of.. we should be just fine. I guess it wasn't so much of a magic trick as it was strategy... But hey, here ...

This week in review

- April 10, 2020

I would be lying if I said this week has been any easier than the ones it followed. It's actually been more hectic than the weeks before. With school being out longer than what was originally foreseen, well it's been a pain in the ass. I'm actually hoping that school decides to tack on a week or two once they do return. This momma needs a break. But if we are being completely honest... I wish they would continue the school year through most of the summer.. or at very least offer summer schooling. I think that would be considered fair since my kids fight me so hard on doing their school work and turning it in on time. Homeschooling is definitely not for the faint of heart. It will drive you insane. On the plus side of things, we got a midweek visit from Daddy. His load schedule allowed him to come home for 24 hours in between loads. So yay for us. Brandi and I both needed some Daddy time. The kids weren't so happy to see him though. They were all in troub...

Thankful

- April 09, 2019

I know my in-laws and I dont always get along, but we always pull back together and work things out. I can't explain how grateful I am for all the help they gave daddy and I over the last few days. Although Damian walked away with only a small bruise and little to no soreness, that wasn't the case for his daddy and I. We definitely needed their help keeping up with our very active little boy. But they helped with so much more than that. We stayed with them for three nights to make sure that I would be able to resume normal activities with Damian and to assure that I would even be able to get up with him. My MIL basically took care of us all for the first 24 hours. Assuring that we had everything we needed, food, exc. Today was my first day resuming majority of my usual activities. I forced myself out of my fear of driving yet again. So we were able to come home. I'm still having to make accommodations to better handle being home, but I a...
