I just thought that while I had sometime at work I would make a list of the things I am grateful for because we are a little low on money and it seems to be taking a toll on my attitude. I know things could always be worse and for some people they are a lot worse. We recently got a new car this is the first time in our lives that we have a new car, with a warranty and it is absolutely beautiful. Then we are all in good health despite the sniffles we have from allergies. And lastly we are all together and safe. I love my family..my husband is great. Of course we aren't perfect but we still love eachother and have a wonderful little girl. I love my life. I get so caught up in the day to day that I don't get the chance to remember how lucky I really am. I read all this bad news, just horrible things that happen to people all the time and I am just really lucky to be alive and have such a healthy family. I need to be more positive and I know that our money situation will get better with time, and I just hope I will get to see the day when I have grandchildren and my little lady turns into a woman. I love you Kadenece Marie you are my life!!!!

Such a great post!  Yes, you named all the right things ( minus the car!)  They are nice , but the hubby & baby are the most important. 

 Life has its ups & downs.  If you ever watched the Movie with Steve Martin in it where his DD is getting married & he finds out his wife is prego, same time as DD....anyway the Grand mother tells the story about "loving to ride the roller coaster".  So true.  Always up & down. 

 I do two jobs actually, f/time and I do a party plan part time.  I started a year ago (saw the economy dropping) and started preparing. I'm glad I did, my party plan money is our extra if we need it.  Most of the time we don't, but I build on it or spend some on my team.  Actually just took a trip to Utah for our convention and used my money.  Think about something you cld do that wld bring in some extra.  Just a couple of hundred a month always helps. 

 I work a couple of times a month, and my own commission is about 300 to 600 a mth just on my commission, I get about another 500.00 or so a/mth from my team.   I could make more if I wanted to work more, but I am happy the way I work.   

You are welcomed to visit me on my homepage for my p/time biz.  We all do pretty well and it isn't a high pressure company. (love that part).  the company is based on Moms, so thy don't give high sales & things to us.  We work how we want and we make what we want and we do pretty good!
