Aren't my elflings beautiful?

At least I think they are. Of course, I am a little prejudiced in their favor!

Been a while...

Almost a month, since I posted. Time does fly by! Not too much to update here... I am still working, hopefully not for too much longer. My boss keeps saying "We really need you" and then he gives me totally minimal hours. This results in not much money, so little in fact that we had to ask for public assistance on our past-due PG&E account. Thankfully, HEAP (Home Energy Assistance Program) helped out by paying our entire bill. I am not happy about using any form of welfare if we can avoid it, but it did really help us out.

I am trying hard to minimize spending these days, thinking of creative ways to use leftovers, to spend less on odds and ends, etc. I am also trying really hard t get our home life more organized. I need to organize household chores a lot better than I do. The kids are happier, as are M and I, when our house is clean and tidy, instead of semi-chaotic. I tried FlyLady, but the emails were just overwhelming. I spent more time deleting unread emails than I did reading emails. Crazy! I am also trying to organize a little education time for both kids. C.O. is doing well with math, and C.J. is doing equally well with her alphabet recognition.

More later....
