Even more cut backs

11/19/2008 by Sandra Leave a Comment

I have scoured thru our bills and have downgraded our tv to the most minimal pkg and have also eliminated the pest control company.

I will start to do the pest control myself till it is absolutely necessary to go back to the pest control company which I hope is not for a long time.

My husband has been doing his own brainstorming and has come up with a way we think we can sell the house and move into an apartment.  I pray that it works out for us we won’t know till after the new year if it will work out.  Once we are out of the house, our financial stress will decrease quite a bit and we will be able to breath easier.

As of right now we are cutting really really close we have approx 40.00 if that for the unexpected expense, which is not good but it is what it is for the time being.

My husband is looking for a second job and I am continuing to work my wah job.  Mine is not a steady income it varies so it is not something I can count on but it is the only thing I have left at this time.

More updates to come.

Don’t know why this keeps happening

11/14/2008 by Sandra 1 Comment

Since Wednesday morning I have been at an all time low.  I am more perky today and can write this post without sobbing like a baby.  This is what is happening to us.

I have posted various blogs entries of my attempts to make some extra income.  All the one I have thought of i have tried and all have come to an abrupt end.  In Sept I started working as a agent for a wah company and I was so excited at this new opportunity.  It was a way for me to make the $400.00 a month we so desperately need.  I was starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, that maybe with time and persistence we could get out of the hole we have dug our into.

Yet, before I even break a stride it get pulled from under me, no more is that money available to me.  The company I was working for no longer has that contract.  Back to square one I go, it is like a get into free jail card and stay there this time.

I have to admit right now it is looking pretty hopeless, yet after a few days of nothing but thinking how am I going to make it better I have just about given up.  No sense in fighting it anymore for the time being, no way to avoid what will happen.  Days will continue rolling by and someday things will start to look better.

Starting A New Week

11/10/2008 by Sandra 1 Comment

I can’t believe it is the 2nd full week of November.  I am not sure where time goes but it does and it is sneaky.

This week will be less hectic for us because soccer games are over.  We did enjoy it very much the weekly practices and games but after 10 weeks I was ready for it to be over.  My son is already looking forward to next season. 🙂

My husband is glad because he has tomorrow off.  He decided not to take today off and save it for later this month or in December.  He is content with his week being only 4 days this week.

Let’s see what this day and this week hold in store for our family.  Whatever it might be I am sure it will be not more than we can handle.

Areas we have cut down on so far…

11/09/2008 by Sandra Leave a Comment

We have cut off 50.00 of our cable intern expense, just by changing service providers.  This month we are getting rid of netflix which is another 19.00 a month.  I am working on getting our food exp from 400.00 a month to 300.00, but this is still a work in progress.

The hardest thing has been getting my husband to cooperate in getting rid of some of the expense we have.  He is fully on board now and we will continue to cut as we can.

So far then it is
50.00 + 20.00 = 70.00

sigh some progress yay ok temp victory lol
