New Ideas

So I have been told that i am a negative person because i talk to much about whats going on in the real world... I don't feel negative i feel informative :) So i actually had a friend drop me from facebook because of it and that kinda hurt my feelings until I stood back and realized that this is a person who drinks everyday and has her head in the sand. So onto a brighter note.. hehe, it is a beautiful day here in Colorado Springs but I do miss Arizona a bit. I miss the palm trees and the sun but not the heat so much however I miss that everything is new all the stores and shopping hubs, and of course Trader joes, Paradise Bakery and some others. I am hoping for a bigger n brighter day ahead. God Bless all my followers I pray The Lord will keep you always.

HiYa..........

Well after having no real access to a computer for a few days it feels good to be online. I have decided to do what I can for stocking up but I'm gonna try to mellow out on the world news if you now what I mean.. ( my last few post) I believe The Lord will take care of us. I was really depressing my kids talking about all that stuff I mean we are aware but no more deep conversations so I can keep my family mentally safe. I still like my job so I guess thats a good thing...lol
God Bless you all

Japan Tsunami

This is so sad to watch, unreal and unexpected. I'm praying for all of the people who are living this tradgedy. Now we have the president telling us of our down fall to all this... our economy!!
So I have been posting about some videos that I have been watching and some stuff i'm reading about,people stocking up on food,water,supplys just incase of a tradgedy happening like the one in Japan. Now I know I'm not extreme and I know I will be using a lot of my paychecks to buy supplies and canned food and other things for my family just incase I prefer to be safe then sorry. Please keep Japan in ur prayers....
Lord please bless us all and keep us in your hand....

Economy Crash 2011

Wow the more I do some research the more interesting it becomes.... I guess it is possible for our country to fall easier then i could ever imagine. I read my bible and I look at ther book of Revelation and compare to America and other countries and we are definitly living the last days in my opininon. I find it odd and yet awesome that so many people are moving on to their own land and so many beautiful mommys are now staying home with their kids and making meals from scratch, I always felt left out because i stayed home with the kids... but now these women are actually perparing their families for what could lay ahead and don't even realize it. I am gonna start learning to can meat and also want to raise meat chicken and get one of those nifty electric pluckers... I want to learn more about solar power, find my land and get self sufficiant just incase anything does happen atleast I will have a little comfort of knowing we can grow our food raise our meat process it and have solar to run what we need. Maybe I'm being extreme but what if what alot of different people are saying is true?? atleast my family will be prepared right?.

Well on a different note.... i love the new job, yes I clean but its only part time and the 4 hours goes by really fast. I am gonna really think hard about what is needed and not just wanted with my checks...
God Bless.....

Can It Be So???

So i was reading an article on the web about 2011 economy crashing. Do you know that our US dollar has dropped 11% in the last 7 months of 2010?. I went on you-tube and was watching some videos that people have posted about food storage, some people have made their basements into food storage as well as plenty of emergency supplies. I'm wondering if these people arre extreme or just wise?. I guess I will start stocking up on some things, but right now I'm just trying to mainly focus on starting a garden. Are any of you doing the same? if so what are you stocking up on?
God Bless..............

New Job

I just am so Blessed, the Lord has heard my prayers and I finally got a part time job. I went on Friday to get my Military clearance because I am now employed at the elementary school on the Army base. I am only a part time custodian but I make 13.21 hour and I get all the benefits. I work 20 hours a week and I clean all the time at home so why not get paid to do it??... So now I need to decide what I will use the money for other than to catch up bills because I need a newer washer and dryer as well as a new refrigerator because mine freezes the produce sometimes. Thank goodness my utilitys will never have to get shut off again. :)

Other new things: we are deciding what to plant this year because produce and fruit are so expensive we are gonna try a large garden and then canning... I can't wait.
God Bless you all....

Happy Saturday

Well another week gone by... I am planning to work in my craft room today I'm still working on getting that craft closet together. A trip to Hobby Lobby today I may pick up alittle something.

A Day In My Shoes...

So today I got up and cooked breakfast at 5:30 am made coffee and fresh juice for my husband and son .My husband left for work and I got my son off to school. I went back to bed for awhile only to wake up to my daughter yelling for me and telling me we have no water!! not what I wanted to wake up to. I called the water company and sure enough they turned my water off for nonpayment. I am not a proud person I can be very humble so I will tell you I had no money to pay my water bill, so we counted and rolled change and finally came up with 88.00 to pay so we can get our water turned back on. I had to make a decision do I pay the water or buy food??? so I bought food :) . We have been a bit strapped now that there is a light at the end of the tunnel with my husbands prison job we are playing catch up... we had $29,000 in june but the move to Colorado broke us with house rental, deposits,uhal truck plus trailer and then having to make another trip back to Az. to get the rest of our stuff not to mention we had to buy a truck and fix our car and buy my mom a good used car but she is paying us back 200.00 a month. Money goes fast when you have no job and you move from one state to another. I went over every reciept we had and we really didn't waste that much money. So like I said I'm humble!!!
Times are so hard right now, if you work in retail hours are down my daughter and mom are in retail. I'm not looking forward to the prices on gas and food rising but they are and just went up again yesterday, what are the paycheck to paycheck familys suppose to do? really if you think about it alot of us are one paycheck away from being homeless. I know this blog was alittle depressing I'm sorry my next one will be happy... :) how is everybodys day going?

So Many Things...

You know I wanted to blog, but so many things are going around in my head that I am not sure what to say. The Arizona shooting has been on my mind since yesterday it doens't make any kind of sense to me I just keep going back to that 9 yr. old little girls face. I am also thinking about how I will get my family through another tough year since that has been predicted. Gas is up here in Colorado Springs it went from 2.69 a gallon to 2.85 and is sure to rise even more. My husband is getting alittle bit of over time at his job, so I'm gonna try to pay off some behind bills and help my daughter pay off her credit cards.

I'm hoping this year will bring some change in my family as far as being more responsible I want my children to be more thankful for what they have. My 19 yr. old is working for a contract companie for verizon so she is the customer service rep you would talk to when calling in about your bill or plan, she is making $ 11.00 hr. and she gets about 5-8 hours of overtime a week so thats good money for a 19 yr. old who lives at home with no bills, she already wants to quit because it is stressing her out she doesnt like talking on the phone... give me a break!!!. She would rather go back to pizza hut for about $ 400 a month does it make any sense to you?. I'm not sure what changes I will be making this year but we have to save money, I really want a peice of land.

What A Day...

Well today is crazy, I have 2 young adult children 24, 19 why is it that I still have to yell to get them to help out around the house??. I'm still doing their laundry and cooking their meals, they live at home for free you would atleast think they would help out around the house right? WRONG!! I'm starting to feel angry at them and then there is attitude!!! I thought we got passed all that crap after the early teen years but it turns out I was wrong. Whats a mom to do?? you love them to death one moment until they open their mouths and then you want to kill them the next... not actually kill them but you know what I mean. I just pray for peace because its holiday season and I want joy in my CLEAN!! home. do any of you have teens or young adult kids?? what should I do? and no I can't kick them out family has to stick together in these tough economic times, besides my 19 yr. old only gets about 13 hours a week at pizza hut minimum wage and my 24 yr. old. lost alot of her hours do to these times she is in retail so neither one could make it even if they got an apartment together.
