Today it is overcast and gloomy, sort of like my feelings. I woke up at 6 am and started my coffee like I do everyday, I love it dark with french vanilla coffee mate. Coffee Mate is a popular thing here in the US that we add to our coffee, 
It is soooo good.
I woke the girls up, except for my oldest, she was up at 5:30 am finishing her homework! I heard her alarm clock go off at 5:30 and I vaguely remember the light in her room flicking on, I drifted back to sleep.
My oldest, R, really has a mind of her own. I find that wonderful that she has the discipline to
get up and get ready for school. About 2 months ago I was having trouble with the girls getting up and getting ready, but with some advise from friends they are doing so great now! The get up and hurry to get ready before 7 (except for their hair that I fix) to earn 25 cents to a dollar each day, depending on how much money we have, lol!
Some news, sort of funny. Our house is gas and electric, it is modest size, and I received a gas bill in the mail that said we owed almost $3,000! I just about freaked out, especially when our bill is only like $50-$80 a month! I called the gas company and they had a guy come out and investigate what happened. I was so happy to know that is was all a big mistake and they are going to fix it. They said out bills would be higher this year, but I was shocked and dismayed to see that it was that high. hehehe Thank God it was wrong.
Besides that life is just okay. Just okay, I am not going to lie and act like everything is great, the economy is bad and people are not out and shopping like they used to be, only on the first of the month or middle when they all have the paycheck in hand. That is what life is about now, working hard and paying your bills.
More later,
Sarah
