Almost a Wrap on January

Tomorrow is the last day of January.
I had a good first almost month.
It has had it's ups and downs obviously.
That is a given.
I was going to write this blog tomorrow since it officially the last day but I am in the mood today so this is look at January.

Everyday this month I have written at least one sentence in a journal and pretty much taken a picture a day. I have also been writing down the highlight of each day to me...

I have not had any Pop since New Year's Eve...so that is progress. I have also been attempting to drink more water and workout on occasion and the result is losing about 5 pounds. Now for keeping that off!

Almost done with one of my large VHS-DVD conversion orders. This first order was 32 VHS tapes which was 25 discs which means my 250 goal will LW be down to 225 soon! Yay for that.

Still struggling a lot with bills and groceries...it feels like a constant battle, but ever since my parents brought a multitude of groceries and God blessed me with orders I am hopeful that maybe next month the tide will turn...I am half scared to say that because I have been hopeful for the past year and things just keep going badly. So please pray that God will lift us from this pit of poverty. Robert has been working loads which is also good...I am really proud of him. 

He is considered the most reliable worker at his job. =)

I am still not planning anything but the ideas are hard to ignore entirely and so the wishes are there. 

One thing I am attempting is to recognize the various stages of money (according to me) and not get ahead of myself which I tend to do and causes more problems.

Stage 1...which we are working on mastering is Basic Needs...

Bills, Groceries, Gas, Baby Needs, Stuff required for work.

We still don't have this one mastered...I hope against hope and pray frequently that we will overcome this soon. 

I pray Robert will continue to have work and orders will continue coming in when we need them. 

Ahh...Judah is waking up. Poor little man has his first cold and cough...it has me worried so he is going to the Doctor tomorrow.

Have a wonderful remainder of the month people!

See you Here, There or in the Air!
