I've told Weis that my last day will be April 27th, so I can focus on the Silence of Mary live-in job. This is very scary, because as yet, the position is still unfunded. I know my needs will be taken care of, but it's hard not to worry about having money "just in case". I'm saving what money I can, I'm buying reuseable items like my Diva Cup, I've stocked my prepaid phone with minutes and made sure that I have a good charging cable for my laptop, and I'm making sure that the clothes that I have fit and will last. I changed the oil in my car, prepaid the next 3 months of insurance, and I need to clean out the trunk just so I know exactly what is in there!
The kids are growing like weeds, so I'm trying to go through their wardrobes to figure out what to keep (hardly anything) and what size to buy for the next year or so. I'm going to scour yard sales as soon as I see anything available, but my daughter has hit the hard-to-clothe age of 7. Thankfully she's in Catholic school, so school clothes aren't an issue - I just need to make sure she has enough tights, jumpers, Peter Pan collar shirts and black sneakers. Her civvies, though, go unused so much that I didn't notice she barely had anything that fit until last week. My mom did, and took her shopping. (Thanks, Mom!) My 3 year old little guy is still easy to dress - give him soft, comfy clothes with elastic waistbands, and he's a happy camper. :) Most of his wardrobe is so cozy it can (and does) double as PJs.
Food is never a problem at SOM... unless you consider too much perishable food a problem. That will be one of my duties there - to try to reduce as much waste as possible.
On a side note, Happy Birthday to my sweetie, Jake! It's been an awesome six months, and it just keeps getting better!
