Its quiet around here lately . . .
| Thu, 09-24-2009 - 8:12am |
Just thought I would see how everyone is doing?
I am pretty good myself. After my dad initially told me I would have to start paying a bill he had agreed to pay (long story, its money owed) he now says he thinks he can keep paying it. It was still the shock and kicked me in the pants to get my butt in gear. So the money that I was going to use to make the payment will now be split between appliances, extra to car payment and efund. It woke me up to make me realize how important my efund is and I need to make more of a conscience (sp??) effort to get it there.
Whats going on with everyone else? The good? The not so good? Whats up?

Good string .... it's a nice way to catch up on everybody's lives.
I have been working a lot of overtime in the past few weeks.

I'm on overload around here! I'm about a quarter of the way through my second novel and still haven't submitted the first one to a publisher. I finished it Aug 18! LOL. I fell in love with the new story to the point that I won't stop writing it long enough to get the "old" one published. *snort* But my nonfiction work is CRAZY piling up. I have so many little jobs piling up and it frazzles me. I'd rather have one or two bigger things than 10 different ones (big and small).
Debt-wise, we're in survival mode. Plan R, for those of you reading along, is still in the works. Always another hoop to jump through, but we've got someone hunting down a contract for us before he drops the cash to get us started. We'll be able to pay him back the first month and clear a few hundred to a few thousand a month after that, so it's just a matter of TIME. No time, no money. Welcome to my world! LOL.

Gosh, my hat is off to all of you too! I can't help but feel like an under achiever after reading about your amazing lives. Kudos.
Becky, I'm so sorry about your kids' hurts, if that is a word. Hang in there Mamma.
I helped my dd settle back into college. We had a great time of it, nice to feel needed.
Just making dinners around here.
Also helping some friends out with their hardships. Some have fallen on hard times. Hope it gets better for them.
How is Mary Ann? I've been missing her as well.
Thanks for asking how I've been doing and hope you all have a terrific weekend.
i've def been stressed about money. We have very little these days. DH out of work. Although he did have small job this week that brought in some money.Has a lead on another one- hope he gets it. We will be at least 1000.00 short for October right now. That is so depressing; i guess there goes the emergency fund unless he gets more work.
My DH,me and the kids are biting each other's heads off- we all feel the stress.
life here is depressing and so stressful-yuck
I won't be making any progress on debt for a while it looks like.

Oooh, girl, you flatter me! LOL. I think my outlook is dangerously close to "screw it" - as in I won't do anything to make it worse and I'll do what I can to make it better. After that, screw it. (Probably ought not advertise that, LOL!)
I have faith. I believe that this path is the right one for me and I don't have to like it but I'll do my best with what I'm given and work my tail off to earn what I'm not. I can literally FEEL things working out - the new house, Plan R, my career writing novels - and that gives me comfort when all else fails. But the real kicker is DH. He's everything in the world I could ask for. He still flirts with me after 14 years, he's home every night, and after all this time it feels like we're on our honeymoon. Just thinking about him gives me butterflies, so needless to say I'd rather think about him than dwell on the financial issues. =c) Loving him - and being loved by him - makes everything okay.
And your support, this board, my blog readers - it all helps. So (((thank you)))!

I have been busy with work, overly busy. I am worn out. It is fun though knowing that I am in control of the whole project and it is doing wonderful.
Things are going great on the debt reduction and I only have Care Credit left. Interest free
I haven't been on here much lately. Unlike everybody else, my life doesn't feel too busy right now. We have a nice balance between work and fun. The kids have settled back into school pretty easily.
Debt wise, we are on track. We are managing to avoid credit card debt. I am still working on getting my car paid off. It's slower than what I would like, but not much I can do about it. We've been slowly making some home improvements. Again, we would like to get them done faster, but we are doing it as we can afford it.
I am itching to start shopping for a winter get-away. We can only go on a trip if my car is paid off, so that's good incentive.
Nice to read how others are doing. I need to come on here more often. It helps me keep on track.
