Toystoryduo's Journal....Moving Forward From Here

[Lesli54]

DSL! Isn't it amazing how much faster that is than dial up? Now you will wonder how you ever got anything else done when you were waiting for pages to load. Just think, you will make it through all the journals in no time.

I think that taking the class is a good plan. It never hurts to step back and take a critical view of your financial planning every once in a while. The fact that you and your DH are doing this together goes along way in supporting the lifestyle that the two of you are striving for together.

Looks like you are doing well with getting the workouts in. Hope that today is a good day for you.

Thanks Lesli.

TOM is here and I am not feeling all that positive or energetic. I have gotten a few things accomplished today, but my to do list is still a mile long. I'm trying not to get overwhelmed.....

We have a birthday party to go to tonight. I'm not sure what's on the menu, but I don't pan on eating much. I may or may not have a piece of cake. Just depends on how I feel.

I'm hoping I have more energy tomorrow. I have hours worth of tax stuff ahead of me.

Have a good evening.

Good morning friends,

I can sum up the upcoming weekend in one word....Taxes! I am about 75% done with ours, but I will probably be doing my MIL's this weekend too.

I've got a busy day ahead....

* taxes

* laundry

* SR

* blog work

* work for DH

I haven't weighed myself in a few days, but I think I will wait until TOM is over to do so. Maybe I'll get lucky and show a loss.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

 

[Lesli54]

You're in good company. My weekend will be taxes as well.

Looks like you are doing well. Weighing yourself in a few days sounds like a plan.

Hope you have a good weekend, despite the number crunching.

 

[lovinaz]

Good luck with the taxes! I finally got ours done last weekend. What a chore!

I envy the fact that you can not weigh yourself for a couple days. I am a slave to the scale, a habit I wish I could break!

Have a great weekend.

hope the taxes are out of the way soon Tracy! (& TOM!!)
good luck with the job - i have everything crossed for you - remember whats ment to be will be

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, I am keeping my fingers crossed for your part time job. Very good idea to wait until TOM is over to weigh. Just hang in there with TOM, waiting to hear on the job and taxes. That's a heavy load. I hope the party was fun. Happy Weekend.

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies. A quick post....

I got the part time job as a ChaCha Guide.

I also got the taxes done, minus the local.

I am really not feeling well....Sore throat, headache, e.t.c. I've got some work to do and then I'm going to call it an evening.

I hope everyone has a good evening!

 

[toystoryduo]

Good morning friends,

I'm still not feeling well. As a matter of fact, I woke up tired. I guess my body is trying to fight this "bug" pretty hard. I may take a nap at some point today.

Today's Plan:

* Homeschooling

* Paperwork for DH

* Work for DH

* Laundry

* Office Max and Library

* Plan DH's birthday

That's about all from here...Hope everyone has a great day ahead!

 

[traceycooper]

yay congrats on the job
& getting the taxes done
hope you feel better soon -sounds like what DD & i have had - blame the cyber germs

 

[Amy&Dan]

I hope you took the nap! I didn't listen to my body last week and I am paying for it big time.

Congrats on the job!!! What is a chacha guide? I am excited for you. Think of how your Disney account will grow (there is a Disney spin to everything in my book ),

Feel better and don't overdo!

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks ladies.

No nap for me yesterday, but I think that will change for today. I woke up exhausted again. Whatever this "bug" is, it is a tough one to get rid of. Hoping it goes away soon.

Today's Plan:

* Homeschooling

* Work for DH

* Nap

Tomorrow we have our first Financial Peace Class. I am excited about it, but nervous at the same time.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

 

[lovinaz]

Congrats on the job! That should add to your financial peace!

Hope you feel better soon.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Tracy, don't be nervous, remember everyone is at that class for the same reason, to learn more about money management. I have never heard of one person who didn't come away from that class feeling like they didn't get their money's worth!

I hope you feel better soon, I guess this is just that end of winter, last hurrah, for all the flu bugs! Take a nap!!!

When do you start the new job?

Have a great day.

 

[goldcupmom]

Hope you are feeling much better! Sick is NOT fun!!

Congrats on the ChaCha guide! I had read about them last week & it sounded pretty interesting.

Hang in there & take it easy! Praying all is better soon!

 

[toystoryduo]

Thank you ladies.

A quick post....I'm running behind today.

I'm still not feeling 100%. This morning I woke up and felt cold symptoms coming on. I also didn't sleep well last night. I had a lot on my mind and spent some time tossing and turning.

Today, we have our 1st Financial Peace University Class. I'm excited, but a little nervous.

Today's Plan:

* Homeschooling

* Work for DH

* Blog work

* FPU

That's about all from here...I'll try and get to journals later.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hey there, I see you are over 8000 posts!! Try to get some rest today, I think your body is trying to tell you something! I am so excited that you are taking this class, I can't wait to hear all about it!

Feel better soon. Remember plenty of rest is the best prevention for getting sick! Tossing and turning doens't count!!

 

[lovinaz]

I hope you are feeling better soon!

 

[toystoryduo]

Thanks Amy and Amy.

I am feeling a little better. The only thing is that the yucky feeling has a tendency to come and go. So right now, I feel okay. In a couple of hours, it could be a different story.

My mom sent lunch up for us so that was a huge blessing. Lunch came at the perfect time so I didn't have to make it!

The girls and I had to have a long talk this morning about responsibility and obedience and it was kind of draining. They seem to get it now, but that could change in a couple of days when they forget.

I've got some more work to do this afternoon before we head out to our FPU class. Hope everyone has a great afternoon!

 

[Lesli54]

Sorry, I haven't been around lately. Isn't it great to have the taxes behind you?

I hear you on talking to the kids about obedience and responsibility. Depending on the child it seems to stick with one longer than the other. Just remember, that even if it lasts only a few days now, make sure you repeat it since you are building character for the long term. From experience, I know that my older DD's are much better individuals because we kept reinforcing these issues. Good luck!

Looking forward to hearing about your financial class. Hope you have fun.
