Priorities

I've been absent quite a bit lately.  I had a "heart check" recently.  Not literally but mentally and realized that some things that should be a priority have not been as much and I realized that I needed to change that.  I love blogging and doing things, but I don't always have the money, even the slightest bit, or the time.  Recently it has been a case of both. 
From working a few extra hours cleaning apartments for my husband, then going home to try to get motivated to clean my own house, to school, church activities and so forth I have been busy and emotionally drained.  I get that way when I pack too much in.  So blogging has been put on the shelf for a bit while I get things back in order.  Thankfully the extra work hours will come in handy as I save up for my husbands upcoming birthday present.  It's a biggie.  Although I'm still in the dark on how much it will cost.  That could be a problem!!  But I love the fact that I can actually save up on my own and not ask my husband if I can have some extra money to buy HIS birthday present with.  Please don't misunderstand that.... My husband does not rule over me with a ruler or whatever, but I don't really keep up with the whole finance thing.  I have a basic idea of what we have, where money is going and so forth, but I don't know what is left to pay, what is extra in the account and what needs to be set aside for other things I may be unaware of.  So I ask. 
I have some new ideas that I am looking into and researching and hopefully in the next couple of months we will be working on a major project in our house that we have been wanting to do since the day we bought it.  Can't wait.  It may involve light gray stained carpet...... or not, I guess you will just have to stay tuned to find out.
