On The Money Monday

by 3 Comments

Last week I added $20.00 to my savings pot, now this week I add another $20.00.   And so my little savings pot grows, but I am feeling a bit blue lately, this gray weather is driving me nuts.  I have a tiny bit of money saved and feel like poop.  (go figure)

Partly too because I feel I write on this little blog to the wind at times, but just posting my thoughts here helps me along on my path and then the other part is this winter weather.  It will all pass soon and I will be my old colorful self again, this I know.  Ah the best part is by next week my little pot will have $60.00 in it. (grin)

Let me share some some financial inspiration.

1.  Candles in Seashells – Neat way for me to use my extra candle wax and recycle.

2.  How To Clean Stuff there are times when I need answers to what to use and how to clean something and here I found the answers.  Pretty neat site and quite helpful to me.

3.  Well  later in the week was feeling a bit blue and was gravitating toward chocolate.  When this site popped up  I immediately felt less blue awww heaven.

Wow this week has been quite a dozie, most of the week my 7 yr old was dragging his feet.  Took him almost till 4pm to finish his work on Wednesday.  Thursday he did better finished by noon which is great, we did get up earlier on this day.  I told him I would be getting him up earlier because if I wait till later in the morning he hits bottom quick.  He is one of those kids that needs to get up and running so he can finish early and well just be a kid and play.

We do have to start working on more site words which he absolutely dislike for some reason.  I found some worksheet on Enchanted Learning just for site words.

Here is the link Dolch words, it is a really nice link, which we will find very useful.  Well I will find it useful, he totally doesn’t look forward to it at all.

I chuckle inside because when we do two digit addition or almost anything related to math, he says “come on mom is that all you got”.  Yet when it comes to site words he really clinches.  I look forward to the day when site words will have the same response.

I have also ordered Explode the Code 4, as I feel this will be a great supplement to Alphabet Island Reading Program we use.

Well I do hope for mommy’s sanity that next week is a more smooth sailing week, of course with kids on never knows what we will get.
