Organization...

So it is my mission in life to organize. My life. My schedule. My finances. And most importantly my home. That is my current BIG goal.

So when I saw that Confessions of a Yummy Mummy was giving away a bunch of organizational stuff....I JUMPED. But I also wanted to share it here. There is not only a planner, some post it's and cute cute cute storage boxes. But she is also including a Target gift card AND a Container Store gift card.

You can't beat it!! I am soooo hoping to win this one! It would be the perfect start to my new organization plan!

And the bad news...

They took my taxes.

As in the WHOLE check.

Stupid student loans.

Here I think my answer is coming and now I am at ROCK BOTTOM. I do not know how we will take care of the things hanging over our head. Top of the list is of course the brakes. Since we can't drive anywhere and can't get Madison to school. UGH.

But strangely enough, I feel an inner peace. I KNOW there is a purpose to this. That God is working through me right now. He is leading me where I need to be.

Now if He would just give me a clue.

The good news...

Madison made the talent show. Well sort of. She had to change the song she was singing. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But two girls chose the same song. And Madison messed up some words. So she was the one to change.

But she will be singing in it.

Provided I can get her there :(

The good news and the bad news..

Please tell me its not just me. That this happens to others too. You see I have never just been able to say "I've got good news". It seems bad news is synonymous with the good news. So the phrase most often used around here is "I've got good news and I've got bad news"

Is it just me? Do others simply have good things happen without the bad?

Stay tuned for my good news/bad news posts.

You can make this....

Have you ever visited their site?? I had the privilege of "meeting" one of the founders through HCTS. She is VERY talented in what she does. I often browse through their site and dream about what I plan to attempt to make. So many cute things to choose from.

So when I realized that Blogging Momma was doing a giveaway with a $50 bundle from You Can Make This, I just had to sign up. And since I "know" the people and the quality of what they teach, I had to recommend it here.

So head on over to Blogging Momma's site and sign up for your chance to win!!

There is a curse on me...

or else God has a sense of humor.

I have been waiting on taxes. Expecting them the 30th. Good news right? Can pay some much needed bills? Get back on track?

So today the brakes went out.

I dont mean they acted up a tad.

We are talking smoke billowing out from the tires, can't stop, serious going out.

So tomorrow I will find out how much of the tax money will go to brakes.

Then I get to decide who we put off.

I say food. Who really decided we needed that stuff anyways?? LOL

But my positive chatter for the day: Madison auditioned today. She said she did well. We find out Friday if she made it.

Wish us luck.

So I've come to a conclusion...

Either I am very versatile....as in I like a variety of different things

Or

I am obsessed with winning free sh!t.

I'd be willing to bet its the latter.

I've signed up for so many giveaways today. And I'm not even halfway thru the list. I am passing on things I know I wont use. But who can pass up gift cards? or books? or purses? or chocolate?

OMG

This is better than sex.

Seriously.

Well...a close second.
