I have so many stresses right now and so many people ask me how I do it all. I truely don't know and then my mom has ZERO sympathy for me when I am stressed out. Ugh. My mom and I used to get along FINE now not so much. We see everything differently it seems. It drives me insane, not to mention she only lives 1/4 mile away from me.
Right now I am finishing up canning peaches that I scored at the Amish store on Friday. I found 25 lb boxes for $5.99 a box! I have made peach jam and am now making peaches canned in a Mango/Apple/Pear Juice blend. They look awesome! I love preserving and providing for my family. The Bible says that money is the Root of ALL EVIL and I truly believe that. Mom doesn't remember the times when we were little. We didn't have a ton of money and she hasn't always had money to rely on. She says she remembers but she treats me so differently because we do live paycheck to paycheck. I am trying to get a forbearance on a student loan from Mohela. Well Dad co-signed it 7 years ago and I am 2 months behind so they call him and harass him. Mom wants to know why I am wasting money on peaches when I can't pay my bills. Really! Really?!? I explain to her that I am working on a forbearance and the $12 I spent on peaches wouldn't put a dent in the $175 that I owe Mohela. Plus it is $80 a month that we don't have extra. The peaches are in a budget for food.
I start classes tomorrow night at OTC and I CANNOT WAIT! My classes this semester are: Economics, Public Speaking, Health, and Intermediate Algebra. I have already gotten started on some of it. (I know what a nerd right? lol) But I love school.
I have to figure tractor pull results/points in the morning and meet Wendel with the new flyers for the Labor Day pull (that I made tonight on Publisher).
Today is Cooper's Birthday. He is 4 years old today. We went to the zoo yesterday.
My house is a mess but I don't know when I am going to be able to clean it. Hopefully I can get it decently cleaned this week. ugh.
Took this pic yesterday at the zoo and then edited it last night. I love it!
