A day late buyeart it is still good so here is the final day of this series
Day 30 November 30,2015
Today I am thankful for getting a little extra rest. I woke to get ready to call into work this morning, and my phone gave its make a payment or your account will be suspended message. Well after I had taken the time to do all that there was no real point to call into work because it was almost 6:20 am. So in turn I was able to get a little more sleep. I am also thankful for the fact that we have food for the month of December. I had to visit dcf and check on our foodstamp case and thankfully everything is current and good to go. Another thing I am thankful is an awesome scentsy family. I have friend who is also a scentsy customer of mine who was really wanting an applebutter frosting brick. I had told her they would be gone at a certain time and didnt hear back. So when I did hear back they were sold out. Well I posted on the scentsy page and one of the consultants had one and offered to trade. So I traded her a pumpkin roll brick that I ordered for her for her apple butter frosting brick. My scentsy family is so so awesome I love them to pieces. Last but not least I am thankful for Gods amazing grace and that i was able to get the girls a Christmas gift this year. God's grace is keeping my head above water. I had a fear that my internet connection would be shut off because I am struggling to pay the bill. Well God's grace has kept it on long enough for me to catch up and keep the working on my online homework atleast for now and I am very grateful for that. I am also thankful that I had a little extra money to get the girls a Christmas gift well technically two but still I am very thankful for being able to do that. I am trying really hard to appreciate the little things because it makes the bigger things alot easier to enjoy and appreciate. Well that is all for now talk to you later.

30 Days of thankfulness and blessings days 26, 27 and 28
Yes I know I am behind again I was really tired on Thanksgiving after my shift and I had forgot about it. But I am here to play catch up again for the last few days and tonight I will do todays. So with out any more further delay I present to you days 26-28.
Day 26 November 26, 2015
Today I would like to say that I am thankful for being able to do an earlier shift instead of the shift that was scheduled. Let me explain a little further. During my first shift my client asked me if I could come from 1:30-3:30 instead of 3:30-5:30. He told me it wouldnt make sense for me to come and care for him at 330 because his son would be there. I agreed and told him I would be there at 1:30. It was fine with me because it did get my day done sooner and I could spend the rest of the day with my family. It was not a bad day all in all.
Day 27 November 27,2015
Today I would like to say that I am thankful for the roads not being bad. There was a lot of concern that roads were going to be horrendous but thankfully where I needed to go wasnt near as bad and Jason was able to drive to work safely. I am also thankful and grateful that our internet and power are still on. I say this because since the internet is on I was able to get a jump start on finishing my homework. I dont know when they are going to turn it off, but I wanted to make sure that I could take the time to get my homework online done. I am thankful that our power is still on because there are alot of things that needed to get done using the electricity. I am also grateful and thankful I was able to get a decent pay check this pay period. I was worried that it wouldnt be enough, but God must have heard my prayers and concerns because it was just enough to be able to pay for what needed to be paid for. I was even able to tithe it and say thank you to him for doing it. Last but not least I am very grateful I was able to visit my son tonight. I got to visit as the spur of the moment visit. But still I was able to visit him and spend a little bit of time with him.
Day 28 November 28,2015
Today I am grateful for being able to celebrate my little girls birthday and spend time with her as well. Today she turned 6 years old! She has been counting down the days to her birthday it was so stinking cute. She got to celebrate with her cousins friends and family it was a really fun celebration. I am also thankful being able to have a date night with Jason. Last night we got to see Mockingjay part 2 from the Hunger games. It was a good movie, sad but still very good. It had a happy ending and I am glad. It is a good series I will say that. If you get a chance to see it or read the series I would suggest it. Just bring a box of tissues with you because it does has some sad parts in each of the books.
Well that is all for now. I am going to try and be back on here tonight to try and do tonight's post.

Day 14 November 14, 2015
Today I would like to say that I am thankful for an amazing friend. She offered to watch the kids for a few hours so Jason and I could enjoy a night out last night. She has also offered to help as a Christmas gift to me. I made my night knowing that I have been blessed with such an amazing friend. I am so grateful for God bringing her in my life. With things being so stressful she brought some joy back by watching the girls for a few hours. Jason and i had really good night and didnt matter how simple the date was it helped out so much. We both needed it. It was definitely the positive part of our very stressful day.
I am also thankful the chance to work for a couple of hours. It has been very stressful lately because my hours have been cut, so I when I was able to work for a couple of hours it was greatly appreciated. I am hoping I will be able to work again. Every little bit helps right now and I am grateful I was able to work. Just praying that our financial stress gets cleared up soon because it would help a whole lot.
Day 15 November 15, 2015
Today I am thankful for being able to sleep in my own bed. I know it is odd but usually when my kids are home and not staying at there grandmas I have to move to the couch because there is not enough room on the bed for me to sleep on. Well last night i got to sleep in my own bed and not the couch for a change and it felt great.
Day 16 November 16, 2015
Today I am thankful amazing friends and Gods healing pressence and peace of mind. When Jason picked me up today, he was telling me about the crap he went through with my mom. During which time he scared us both because he had chest pains. He thought nothing of it because it did eventually go away. Needless to say I still advised him to stay home just to be safe. Well later that night he called me and told me it happened again and it scared us even more. Through that whole night I was talking with some friends to help me calm down and it felt good to just talk to someone for a change. These guys are amazing and I am so grateful for them talking to me, praying for the both of us, and caring. They are all rockstars in my book. God was amazing too. He helped Jason heal from his anxiety attack and and helped me stay calm in front of the kids. I am also grateful for being able to work that day as well, It felt good to work again.
Day 17 November 17,2015
Today I am grateful that I didnt have any math tests. I decided to not go to class today so I can focus on the stuff that needed to get done. There was a lot that needed done too. I am grateful for the chance to just try and relax a little bit as well. I did have an A and P but that was about all.
Day 18 November 18, 2015
Today as odd as it sounds, I am thankful for my phone acting up. I got to use the time to try and relax and clean the house. If my phone didnt act up I may have been really tired. I would say today was a good day to try and catch up on the shows I have missed among getting things done.
Day 19 November 19, 2015
Today I am thankful being able to step out of my comfort zone and see about getting some scentsy orders for my friends fundraiser. It sometimes takes a lot but tonight I was able to ask a fellow classmate if she would be able to help out with the fundraiser I am doing. I am hopeful that she will order. I just dont know when and am hoping she will order soon. I am also thankful for being able to get out of class early. I was really tired last night, and it was nice to be able to get out of class early for a change.
Day 20 November 20,2015
Today I am grateful for being able to work again for 8 hrs. It will really help my paycheck and I could really use it next week that is for sure. I am also thankful for being able to share scentsy with more co workers again. I am hopeful that they will all order to help out this fundraiser. I am also grateful for being able to spend the night with my family and being able to enjoy it. I have another early work day tomorrow and being able to spend time with Jason and the girls is a priceless blessing. I am going to miss them while I am at work tomorrow. I will have 10 minutes to spend time with jason tomorrow before he has to go to work but the bright side is I get to spend time with the girls for a little while.
Oh the many blessings for the week and I have another day or two. Well I am going to leave on this note and say Thank you God for all the blessings you have given me.

Fundraising
Over the past month and this month I have been doing a Scentsy fundraiser fora friend to help her be with her mom on her mom's last days. I will admit it has been a fight. I am not giving up. I am now extending it to more than fundraiser. I am also using the money for parties and orders to donate towards the fundraiser. Can I ask for your guys' help. We mainly need people to order to help raise the money, but I am needing people to spread the word to people who will order, prayers for it to have a good outcome. I am a Scentsy consultant in case you are all wondering. Any how if you can help it would be awesome! Here is the link to the fundraiser https://

Day 10 November 10, 2015
Today I am thankful for understanding friends. I had some money saved up for a fundraiser that I am doing for a friend. When I checked the bank it was already taken. I was so pissed, I didn't even get to use it for tithing which was my first purpose. I had told her last night and she was understanding about it. For that I am very thankful. It will be replaced as son as possible. I am also getting a scentsy card replaced too so it doesn't happen again. I am also thankful for my wonderful kids I love them to pieces. Even when I am feeling tired or not in a good mood their cuddles and love bring a smile to my face.
Day 11 November 11, 2015
Today I am thankful for all of the veterans past and present. A special
thanks to my husband Jason. Thank you babe for serving our country I love you. I am also thankful for my wonderful husband. This morning he let me sleep in because I don't get to sleep in that much. It was that little thing that meant lot to me. Thank you babe I love you. With that being said I am going to get off here later guys.

30 days of thankfulness and blessings day 9
Today I am thankful for my husband being 100% better from the nasty virus that he had last week. 4 days of the stomach virus with him is enough to drive me insane. Today I am very thankful that God answered my prayers and healed him of that nasty bug.
I am also thankful for being able to work today. I have not had any work for a little over a month and if I did it was once a week which I am still grateful for. It may be only 4 hrs but I am very thankful that I am able to work to bring in some formnof income.
I am also grateful for God taking care of us like he has been and is, and I am thankful that he is helping me celebrate the small things and all the little victories so I can appreciate the big ones better. Well that is all I need to finish getting ready for work later guys.

30 days of thankfulness days 7 and 8
I know I am behind life is doing its best to get me down and slow me down and I fighting like crazy to not let it get me down. So again with out further ado let me present to you days 7 and 8.
Day 7 November 7,2015
Today I have quite a few things that I am thankful for. I am thankful for friends who help me let me vent even if it is about stools and the consistency of it. I have a really good friend who has listened to me vent about my husbands diarrhea issue. It never seemed to gross her out and she even helped with some ideas of how to help firm it up. I know that hearing about it is gross and not the most wanted thing to listen to but no matter how bad or gross it got she still listened and to an extent she helped me calm down a bit as well. She has been and is a rockstar for listening to me rant about it.
I am also thankful for food. Yes after a little over a month, we were approved for foodstamps to get some actual healthy and more filling food in the house. We were able to get some milk and few other things before we officially went grocery shopping. I am so grateful for God's mercy on that one and that it was the one thing that was needed to give. I have been praying that something was going to have to give and did. I am so thankful for that.
I am also thankful for a night with just me and Jason. My girls were staying over night with their brother. It was nice to enjoy a night of peace and quiet. Although it was a bit stressful because of the whole diarrhea issue. I am still grateful for being able to spend time with him.
Day 8 November 8, 2015
Today I am thankful for and awesome friend who helped me stay grounded, sane and help me find humor in this whole mess. Even if it is the smallest amount of humor it helped. Currently my sanity is almost non existant. Trying to figure out if Jason is getting better or now what is causing his issues how to fix said issues etc. She gave me one thing to tell myself and that its not icy hot on the nuts. It does help, but as of right its back and forth.
I am also thankful for God. He has been listening to me rant, rave, show my anger, frustration, worry, listening to me vocalize how stressed out Jason's diarrhea has made me. He has heard my cry etc and even the slightest bit of peace that he has given has helped me so much. Right I am just praying to God that Jason gets over this crap and is done with it soon. I am so worried about him and hope that he is over it soon so we dont need to get him looked at.
Well that is all for now I will talk to you later.
Day 7 November 7,2015
Today I have quite a few things that I am thankful for. I am thankful for friends who help me let me vent even if it is about stools and the consistency of it. I have a really good friend who has listened to me vent about my husbands diarrhea issue. It never seemed to gross her out and she even helped with some ideas of how to help firm it up. I know that hearing about it is gross and not the most wanted thing to listen to but no matter how bad or gross it got she still listened and to an extent she helped me calm down a bit as well. She has been and is a rockstar for listening to me rant about it.
I am also thankful for food. Yes after a little over a month, we were approved for foodstamps to get some actual healthy and more filling food in the house. We were able to get some milk and few other things before we officially went grocery shopping. I am so grateful for God's mercy on that one and that it was the one thing that was needed to give. I have been praying that something was going to have to give and did. I am so thankful for that.
I am also thankful for a night with just me and Jason. My girls were staying over night with their brother. It was nice to enjoy a night of peace and quiet. Although it was a bit stressful because of the whole diarrhea issue. I am still grateful for being able to spend time with him.
Day 8 November 8, 2015
Today I am thankful for and awesome friend who helped me stay grounded, sane and help me find humor in this whole mess. Even if it is the smallest amount of humor it helped. Currently my sanity is almost non existant. Trying to figure out if Jason is getting better or now what is causing his issues how to fix said issues etc. She gave me one thing to tell myself and that its not icy hot on the nuts. It does help, but as of right its back and forth.

30 days of thankfulness and blessings days 4,5, and 6
I know that I am a little behind there has been a little bit of stress this week. But that is for another discussion. So with out further delay I am going to get started.
Day 4 11-4-2015
Today I am thankful for the two days of orientation I did and got paid for. Although it may not be a lot, I am grateful for the little amount of paycheck that I get. It is a start and I am grateful that I have it to help out. I am grateful that God is taking care of us and holding us in his hands and is taking care us. I know he has plan and I am trying really hard to trust in his plan.
Day 5 November 5, 2015
Today I am thankful for my husband and him wanting to cuddle. He has been very cuddly today and I am glad that he is wanting to cuddle even if he is sick. I feel really bad that my mind is focused on him getting better and not enjoying it. I am also grateful for awesome classmates that helped me study for the lab practical and helped me fill in what I missed so I can study it.
Day 6 November 6, 2015
Today I am very thankful my wonderful husband. Jason is so amazing, I felt awful this morning because I didnt feel like an awesome wife because when he wanted to cuddle last night I was so distant and felt disconnected I didnt even enjoy it. He didnt hold against me, he just joked about it. I am so grateful for him and my kids they are so amazing. I am also grateful for wonderful friends that are like family to me, God's amazing grace, peace, love, wisdom, strength and mercy. God has been and is continuing to be so amazingly awesome. He is holding us in his hands and is helping me have peace over our money issues. He is just awesome! I am so grateful, for God. One last thing I am thankful for is coffee and spark. Both are awesome because they are both very helpful. One is the boost and the other helps keep me going. With that I am going to get going so I can finish working on a scarf and get some Christmas gifts made and ready to send off.

Long time LOTS of thoughts.
I know that I have been gone a while. I have had a lot going on. Work, school, lots of family stuff going on. Any how I have some thoughts. I know who doesnt right lol. Well anyway, I was watching a couple of clips on the view about Gwyneth Paltrow's food stamp challenge that she did. Was going to show the video but the code would not show anything but the coding on my blog:/ Any ways onto my thoughts.
I agree with her. For one it is really hard to feed family of 3, 4 or 5 people on food stamps. My family is on food stamps, and it is NOT easy to feed every one or make sure that we have enough food in the house. My kids eat A LOT I could have this house well stocked, and it could be gone in less than a month. Trust me been there done that lots of times. Feeding my family for $29 a week. Well believe me it is a lot harder than most think. I have gone to Aldi's and bought what would seem to be a lot food, and it may last a week sometimes less. We have to do what we call meal counting which is trying to find affordable sometimes quick meals that may or may not last the amount of days they are supposed to. That doesnt always mean that these meals will be healthy either. Believe me I wish they were. We do our very best to try and make sure that the meals we get are both healthy and filling. Do we always succeed? NO. We don't in fact most of the time it is a close second to healthy and more on the filling side. I also agree that if the government really wants to know how hard it is to ask the families who are actually on the foodstamp or wellfare program. I will tell you right now, that it is extremely difficult. I do wish that both the democrats and republicans should try the challenge to see for themselves how difficult it is. On the coupon comment. I agree 100% it darn near difficult for me to go up to Dillon's Walmart or anywhere else and use coupons and not have people look at me like what is my issue or like i am poor. It is hard to tell my kids that they cant have things because I dont have the money. In fact I had a discussion with my kids about this earlier today. Jason and I do our best to make sure our kids have the best. We work as much as we can. I work I go to school, I sell advocare products and make and sell hand made crochet items. I am making some of their clothing items socks, etc. The point of the matter is that we are doing our best to get by. It is hard, sometimes very stressful, painful etc. Jason and I are not quitters. In fact we are fighters and will always be. On that note I am going to end my rant here before I continue on.
