April 2019 This was a pretty rough month for me.  My husband’s sudden job loss in the last days of March really set me up to be knee deep in worry as April began.  I have had to make adjustments to every area of our family budget and put a complete halt to all unnecessary […]

March 2019 What a month.  Everything started out pretty normal and it was shaping up to be a good month.  My daughter decided on a college.  We bought her prom dress.  My reading was going pretty well.  The loss of my husband’s job last week has thrown things off for now but we will make […]

February 2019 I found February to be exhausting.  I was traveling for much of the month visiting colleges with my daughter.  She also performed in the pit orchestra for her high school musical and at a band concert.  We got some great news in regards to scholarships at a couple of schools.  I hope that […]

January 2019 The month of January started out rather calm.  It has been a frigid month with a few warmer days thrown in just to make you wonder what the heck Mother Nature is doing.  The month is ending much busier than it began with a college visit during the final weekend of the month  […]

December 2018 It is hard to believe that we are already in January.  Where does the time go?  December was busy at times and mostly nice.  It was cold as you would expect it to be in St. Louis at this time of year but there were a few days that felt almost fall-like.  There […]

November 2018 And just like that, we are going to be turning the calendars over to December!  Time is really flying by this year.  This was a strange November that had winter showing up early without much of a welcome.  There have been a few nicer days but the overall trend has been very cold […]

October 2018 It is hard to believe that November is here.  The trees have all changed colors and leaves have started to fall.  Freezing temperatures are predicted before the week is over and I am not sure how we got here so quickly.  October flew by for me.  We were very busy during the month […]

September 2018 How is it already October?!  It really does seem like each get gets faster and faster and I am not sure that I like it.  September was pretty busy with marching band in full swing.  It is kind of weird to think that it is all coming to a close since this is […]

August 2018 August was a month of recovery for me.  I returned to work after surgery on August 2nd and found that it would take a while to get back to where I was before surgery.  By the end of the month, I was feeling much better with more minor complaints. August was a month […]

July 2018 July has been quite the month for me.  I was on vacation from work during the week of July 4th so the month got off to a fantastic start.  My daughter spent the second week of the month in West Virginia with a friend and then came back to start the required summer […]
