I have been feeling sick with allergies lately, so been on the couch quite a bit.  Not that this make me feel any better about my mounting debt or other troubles that come with it.  Yet this temporarily pushes those things to the back while I deal with allergies.

Thought we are twirling a few ideas in our heads on how to alleviate the issues with our debt, nothing has been decided but we are working on it.

and I am so happy.  I do get homesick much.  I am picking her up from the airport this afternoon.  She is only staying the weekend but my home already looks so much better just with the announcement of her visit.

I will add photos of how my home looked for her visit soon.  I might add the dreaded after photos too, not sure about that one. ~

In our home we have a file in our cabinets which holds paper for recycling.  It is pretty thick now and I add to it daily.  My son uses it for printing school work and I use it for printing for myself , like scratch paper.

This file is part of what I am teaching my kids, to recycle by re-using.
