Journal Entry for Thursday, March 10th

It's been what a week or two? yes, I need to catch 

up on a lot of things. So we got the refund on Friday

and what did I do with it? Well, I knew we had to 

pay our rent since the last day to have it in is the 5th.

So I paid our rent $940, paid the electricity bill $260, 

bought a $299 laptop/notebook for Ami, went shopping 

for meat to stock up in the freezer which was about $160

something, filled the car for $60. Treated the kids 

out to Jack In The Box for $30 which is pretty 

rare and never should've happened, since I'm trying

to pinch pennies. lol.. snatched up this pine bunkbed 

at Walmart for $189..that's a deal. bought me a shirt 

for $13 while we were there and some clothes and 

backpacks for the kids which ran us about $388 to

gether with a new vacuum and console table for the 

living room.  I paid our fast offering on Sunday. which 

felt really good.

So that's what happened over the weekend. This 

morning I just rose up at 6:30 am to get Loni ready

for school and will clean house. I didn't tell you that

two weeks ago I received my order from Avon and

remember when I said that my goal was to pass out

400 books was going to happen? well, somehow 

my order got messed up and I ended up with 1000

books and over 30 boxes of books from Avon. 

I'm still trying to get those all passed out. sheesh, 

I don't think I'll ever try that one again. DH is 

really upset over the books and boxes piled up in 

our living room. so lately I have spent sleepless

nights staying up and writing my info. on each book.

Which hasn't been good for my blogging,

so far I've only passed out 300 books. Looks like

I have to make a call to return the rest of the books

since I don't have the time to finish passing them 

out. lol..I have reviews that still need to be posted

and products that need to be tested. I got two done

yesterday and posted up..which I'm really happy 

about. How is your week going?
