Today is a new day full of possibilites and a chance to make something better. I think this everytime I wake up. Maybe today IS THAT DAY........I am going to try to get things done here in the house. It would be great to see some effort I make make a difference. I have been short on time or sick lately. I am still kinda sick today. I just feel awful. My work stress is catching up with me in a physical way. Maybe the efforts I make today to clean out the dresser will distract me from my sick stomach and thoughts of work. (I am looking for a new job, the phone IS ringing with possibilities, and I will work on them today.) I know that shopping/spending today is not the answer.
It was such a pleasure last night to cuddle up with my SO and watch the Olympics....
Yesterday I bought a couple magazines and groceries, and I was happy. I was across the street from THE MALL, but I did not go in the mall. Hurray!!!!!!
I was looking for some papers in my purse this weekend, and I found the purse to be loaded with reciepts from grocery stores, Xmas shopping, and gas purchases. Time to clean it out, but, boy, even normal life requires a lot of purchasing........
It is going to be a struggle the next several months to get the credit card total down. I will keep working on it, but I see the next several months as a struggle financially.
I'll keep working at it, bit by bit. Flake by flake....! Lately regularly expected expenses are going up, and the income is not.
Okay, going to go do something positive now, and I need to get my newspaper (cut those coupons!!!)..............
Think positive today! Go for the gold! Littlesbigs

Littlebigs, can I tell you that I just love reading your musings. It is like a little peek into someone else's life, only to find out that we aren't so different afterall.
Good luck on the job hunt. From your earlier postings it appears that your work stress is causing you to be sick. It seems like you have been sick a lot lately. I hope that when you get a different job (because I have faith you will) that you will find a healthier you.
Good luck too on cleaning your home. I guess in a way I am lucky. Since DH is active duty military and we move every two to three years, I am forced to clean out stuff. I clean things before we move and while we are unpacking, and lately two or three times in between. We constantly live in such small spaces for five people, that we can't tolerate a lot of clutter.
Thanks for the little peeks you give me.

Dear Kellie,
Thank you for the compliments! My pleasure!
I do write my "musings" for several different reasons, and I am glad that you enjoy reading them! My main reason to share is to hopefully hit a chord somewhere for someone that even though debt is here for now, LIFE GOES ON! We are still LIVING through our days and silly and big and little and sad things happen and some are connected to debt...and so I'm just making observations and telling a little of my daily debt story. I'd like to think that something in them will amuse folks or make some folks think, and YOU have made my day today!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
There is humor amd drama and a story to tell that each one of us has about our debt journey. It can help to write some of it down for ourselves or to share here on the board.
I have been told that I have a different point of view on the world in some things, and I suppose I do, so I think why not share it? I also had a job where I had to do research and look at things in as many ways as I can to find the best solution (and I hope I find another one like that!),so I look at some one thing and try to think of as many things as I can about that thing...and maybe I'll learn something from it...or teach something about it. It's like debt can be a negative thing, but maybe there are positive things to get out of it that I learn from.......so I look for them.............AND THEN I WRITE THEM DOWN, hahahaha!
Best wishes, Littlesbigs
PS......sometimes when I am writing these "musings" I feel like Carrie the Writer from "Sex and the City." hahahaha!
Dear TLENAD,
Good luck to you, too! There are jobs out there, and they offer hope.... I know that I just shouldn't be constantly trying to RECOVER from every day at work. Our area has a PROBLEM....4 people quit in 2 weeks, and management had a shock...I know other people who are quitting, too, soon so hmmmm????? They are going to try to restructure the areas' work, but I think I just need to LEAVE!
Until then, I keep trying to get the job done, but I need to take care of myself first!

Yes, let's all think positive today!!!!!
DH is sticking to his promise to do all the household work for me this weekend! I feel guilty about it, like I need to get off my behind and help with something!! But... I know once tomorrow comes, it will be all mine again! lol
I am a bit nervous about our CC situation right now, too. Although, the income is getting to a comfortable place, and if we could just stick to a darn budget we would be alright..... Bit by bit, we will get there!!!!!!!!!
Have a fabulous Sunday everyone!!!!
