In the midst of a million things happening at once, I have to stop and take a moment to collect myself. My vehicle is in limbo right now. The solutions are such that none of them are truly profitable for me as far as I can see. That car is my baby and I'm sad that it's "hurting" right now but I'm not sure what the best option is and I'm waiting for God to move swiftly to show me.
My new job is going beautifully but it is definitely exhausting and the hours are long. That's a GOOD thing for me financially. With that being said, I'm happy to be headed for two days of unadulterated crazies time. I've missed them a lot and if I ever had my way (truly), I'd be a full time SAH mom with a PT travel photography job. Universe, are you listening? Still, I am thankful for the wonderful job I've been given and the opportunities it will, no doubt, provide.
There have been a few hiccups in the crazies' school stuff. Mostly it's just other kids being brats and causing stuff. Daniel decided to lie about his homework and had to spend a whole day catching up on what he should have done during the week. Long story short, they're doing great but need to buckle down and start exhibiting the effort that I know they're capable of.
So where do I want to be a month from now....
Ideally, the car situation would be resolved with virtually no financial money up front for us to pay out. If that means a new car, the new car payment would be affordable and the new car would be the perfect fit. It that means keeping my car, ALL of the issues with the car would be resolved.
I'd love to see us completely debt-free. There are a few things I'd like to eliminate completely or downsize but I'd love to be completely and totally debt-free with some savings begun.
Getting settled into the new schedule. This would mean a lot of things but mostly it'd mean the whole family getting into a rhythm based around our new schedules through school, work, etc.
Eliminating the people that are causing toxic effects on my life and draw closer to the ones that are helping me to move toward my goals or supporting me in them. I've started the elimination process but it's lengthy and not so much fun.
Slowing down from Daniel's birthday and easing into Anthony's. Also prepping for Halloween. I love the idea of decorating but also making/getting great costumes for the kids and maybe even going out with my love to celebrate!
Finding ways to turn God's blessings into praise. Ultimately, that's what matters, in the end. :)
