Today I would like to say that I am thankful for the night off from a class. I didnt get much sleep last night and I am quite tired as well. In turn I am very thankful getting the night off from class. I am also thankful for the beautiful day that we had outside today. It was really nice day today and it was nice to be able to enjoy it for a little bit. Last I am thankful for a chance to get to see my girls school pictures even though I am not able to pay for them. They are very pretty in their school pictures and I am grateful that the y sent home some thing so if we still want to order them we can go online and order them. Oh yeah I cant forget I am thankful for the opportunities to be able to work even though i i am not  able to drive to the destination. They are awesome opportunities I hope to be able to get the chance to work soon. There are so many small things that i am trying to enjoy so I can actually try and enjoy the so it can make the bigger things that much more enjoyable when they happen.  Well with that being said I am going get off here so i can try and enjoy the rest of my night. Good night my lovelies.

30 days of thankfulness and blessings days 10, and 11

I have been a little on the distracted side so with out further delay here are days 10 and 11.

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.

30 days of thankfulness and blessings days 4,5, and 6

 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.

As I said before I have a lot of things to be thankful for this year.

That is all for now everyone talk to you tomorrow☺

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.

Changes

   A lot has been going on lately. I have been advocare distributor for about 4 months. If any you all like you can check out my site at advocare.com/140337213. Recently I took and advocare 24 day challenge. The results are in: I lost 7 inches off of my waist, 3 inches off my hips and 1 inch off my thigh. I have gained a lot more energy as well. I feel so good and I am hoping to continue the challenge as soon as I can. The challenge is so worth every penny. If you would like to learn more about the challenge or how to get it for a discount I will be more than happy to help. I have pics of before during and after for the results. There may be a couple of duplicates.
    In other news, I have also enrolled in school to go back again for nursing so I can get my RN. I am still currently waiting for my financial aide to be cleared so I can start and now have to worry about payments. I have also been in orientation for a sitter position at the hospital. I float from all the Via Christi hospitals as sitter. Yup lots of changes in deed as well as me:) I am very excited about. I am praying that it all works itself out, as well as my advocare business. So far so good. Well I better get off here so  I can get my house in order. I hope you all have a wonderful day.
