Finding our way again

Just when it feels like we are finally sailing on some smooth waves the bottom falls out of our boat. So here we are again back to square one. Trying to find a new normal in our lives as we deal with dialysis three times a week, our oldest is becoming a senior in high school, and myself herniating two discs in my spine and losing my job.

I guess we have gotten a little sloppy with things, feeling like we were safe per se from the things that were going on in the world around us. Then Murphy came knocking at the door, the reminder I have that nobody's really safe. So here we go again coming back to the roots that we learned as children that money doesn't make the world go round. Especially in the same way for us as it does for those who are truly rich. But honestly we are still rich, we have each other. For that I am truly thankful.

So here I head back to my couponing journey to help the budget go a little bit farther.


While trying to find some side jobs to supplement my income while still being able to help care for my husband and children's needs.










But this time I don't want to come off of this journey I want to make the dreams that we've been talking about for years actually start coming true. To stop living paycheck to paycheck and and to start enjoying our life with whatever time we are given on this planet.
