I have sold some of the kids older clothes and will put the money towards purchasing new supplies for school this year. I have many things for sale but only a little has sold. Some days I want to throw in the towel, when things do not go my way, but I have two beautiful babies and truthfully for their sake I will never give up.
To save money my son and I recently cut our own hair. The kids are slowly starting to be a little more helpful because there isn't anyone else to do the things that need to get done. My son tried to help do the lawn but the lawn mower keeps not starting on us. I keep the thermostat at 80 degrees and mostly wash dishes by hand. I received a couple of unexpected blessings and letters of encouragement in the mail over the last couple of weeks. I am super grateful to each of you that took the time to send those.
My son recently turned 12. His gift from me was a 25.00 amazon gift card which he used to purchase and xbox card, but I earned it through Swagbucks. My daughter made a cake for him, I supervised but it was a stars and stripes one by Pillsbury. We refrigerated it and it was delicious. Someone very special to us had a birthday around the same time and treated us to a day at Adventure Landing where we played in the water park all day, and also had a few rounds of lazer tag.
The kids dad officially moved to Delaware. We are currently receiving no support, and to be honest I am angry about it. I know he pays his girlfriends storage what about something, anything to support the kids...
Rant over. All in all we are doing ok. I have recently seen a doctor to address some current irritating prayerfully not too serious health issues, and I have been given meds to work on controlling my diabetes better, and if my son's toe isn't broken, we are beginning to run together. Either way I am trying to move forward from choices I have made and slide out from under the depression that likes to sit on my chest.
We have been making my unique jewelry again. There is a local art walk on August 2nd and we hope to have as many pieces made as possible in hopes of making some extra cash. If nothing sells, we still plan on having a good time. We have made some fun stuff. If you would like come check it out on facebook @Youniquelyme Treasures. Feel free to Like us and follow along...please. I would be honored. If I ever get to 50 likes or followers I plan to do a giveaway!
I hope everyone is having a great summer, ours is almost over. Happy Tuesday.
