Finally...the bag (a large trash bag!!) of bills has been gone through!

With just a small stack of papers that needed to be kept.

Found: a check for $250 from our dental insurance, the title to the white van, car insurance cards, our new credit cards, a note from the city suspending JD's drivers license because of failure to appear in court (speeding ticket, multiple offers for more credit (as if we need more trouble!), tons of duplicate bills.

And JD just brought the mail from our P.O. Box...2 months worth!!!

Heaven help us!

Beth just made the most yummy rolls for our dinner!
She and I also made a pretty tasty soup. Ham, potato, and cabbage.
Quite tasty!

Bills, Bills, Bills

Ugh.

Not much more draining then going through bills and realizing that you don't have the coin to pay them!

We took such a pay cut moving to NY. To the tune of $20K! The cost of living is so much higher here then AL!

The heating oil is eating us alive!
Now that oil is $100 per barrel.
We have to fill up every 2 months in the winter.
Our first fill up this winter was $600, next it was $750, and yesterday...well we could only afford to get half the tank filled! I didn't even ask JD how much it was!

A lien on our house for the water bill...$1,400.25!

But hey, the good news... wait there is no good news.

You know if it wasn't for bad luck we'd have no luck at all.

No, not true...Heavenly Father's been good to us.
We have a safe place to live
Good food to eat
Nice clothes
A car to get around

We're Broke
But Not Broken!!

Hope you enjoy this!

Monday, Monday

Well, Easter's over and now instead of finding rooms filled with hidden eggs, I'm finding rooms filled with candy wrappers! Spit out jelly beans! Oh well.

Kids are still out of school until Wednesday.
At least the weather's good...and they can go outside...to take out the trash between turns on the wii!
No, they've actually been out playing this morning for a few hours before they came in to play vid games.

I got some cute videos of Easter and LB and I are going to put them on here later.

Excited for the new week!
Lots of great plans planned!
Thinking of Spring cleaning(Sorry Kids!)
And of course the diet!

Speaking of diet...I've gained back the 30 lbs I'd lost.
Up to needing 100 units of insulin per day!

Getting back the motivation!
So back on the old control wagon and now that JD and Aaron fixed my Gazelle
I can get going on the exercise.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
