I'm a middle-aged woman determined to get out of debt. My husband and I are going through Financial Peace University (again!) through our church. As Dave Ramsey says, this isn't a microwave, it's a slow cooker. Come with me on my journey!

Days 534 & 535 and just one more day to go!
Tomorrow's the day we leave for our weekend trip. Tom's off today and then we're both off tomorrow. I can't wait! I will try to post Sunday evening when we get back. Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July weekend.

Day 533 and getting ready for VBS
Next week we start VBS at our church. I'm helping with the 4th-6th grade age group. I met the other teacher over there tonight and we got our room as decorated as we can for now. We'll finish up Sunday night after Tom & I get back from our trip. VBS starts Monday. I've been taking care of some stuff on my to-do list since I got back, mainly faxing in some stuff that I needed to get done.

Day 532 and those goals from last week
Well, I hang my head in shame, I didn't get any of my goals done. About the middle of last week, I started having trouble sleeping. Then yesterday, I had a killer headache all day long. It would not go away, even after 2 Excedrin migraines, 2 Aleve, and one long nap. Then I had some tummy troubles from about 10:00 to midnight. so anyway, I'm giving myself a break and reassigning those goals for Thursday night. I want to have them done before we leave on our trip Friday morning.
Hope everyone had a great Monday!

Day 531 and in just a few days...
Tom & I will be having our romantic weekend. I cannot wait. We'll leave Friday and be back Sunday. As soon as we get back, I'll have to go to the church and decorate for VBS, which starts the very next night.
Today I woke up with a killer headache. I tried to sleep it off this afternoon, but it won't go away. Keeping my fingers crossed that it's gone by tomorrow.

Day 530 and another quiet Saturday
It was not supposed to be a quiet Saturday. I was supposed to go to Moore for a meeting of the Family Child Care Sub-Committee that I am on. Was going to go to Norman after and see Serenity. But that meeting got rescheduled for August 8th. I got grocery and Wal-Mart shopping done for this weekend. So I got a quiet, relaxing day instead. Yeah! I hope to get a few things accomplished, but haven't done much yet. Does anyone have a hard time getting motivated when it's this darn hot?

Day 529 and more clothing bargains
Last night, Tasha and I went to Enid to do some Wal-mart shopping. Our first stop was at JCPenney's to see if we could find some more jeans for Tasha. She found another pair of jeans that were marked down to 15.99 that she liked and she also got some shirts that were marked down to between $5.50 and $7.99, too. So she is well on her way to being ready for the school year. Yeah! Then we went to Wal-mart. While Tasha was looking around, I found a clearance rack with some dressy slacks on it all marked down to $5 a pair. Even better, they had some in my size! I got three new pairs of slacks; black, gray, and tan for $5 each! Now I can finally throw away my other two pair that I had, they were getting to be in very sad shape. LOL.
Happy Friday and have a good weekend!

Day 528 and some short term goals
Okay, it's time to pull myself together and set (and actually follow through!) with some short-term goals. So here we go.
1. I've been working on the July budget. Finish it up and have a budget meeting with Tom this upcoming weekend.
2. Continue to work on getting caught up on paperwork. I actually got several months of receipts logged, but need to go through and work on some other stuff too. My first goal will be to catch up parent totals by next Monday.
3. I must get to work on my proposal for my study-in-depth class. I have to find several references, so I'll start my goal by saying I"ll find five quality references by next Monday.
Hope everyone has a great day (and stays cool!)
