Im tired

I helped my friend Joella at the school cafeteria today. Its a hard, hard job. I am glad its over. I have great appreciation for her and all cafeteria workers.
We are cleaning the sewing room to make room to do home school there this year. I sure have a lot of sewing supplies. I want to be able to more reading together and some writing assignments together with all of them.
Both older girls took the 8th grad reading proficiency test today at the local school. They both tested fine of course. It was necessary to do this test in order for them to get their drivers learning permits.

saving money

My desire is to save money. I love to coupon shop and stack coupons, show others how to shop with coupons and save money. In a period of four months, I saved over $1500.00 using coupons. I like to be able to give nice things to people. Its like a sport to me. I call it Shop 4 less who's the best.

I love the Lord God. I love the learn more about His word and what He wants from me and what He wants me to do.

I love living in the country. We live on 16 acres. We have a 6 1/2 X 26 foot greenhouse made out of cattle panels. We plan to make another one twice as long. We have a big steer and a little bull calf we are raising for the freezer. We milk three goats. We have chickens. Cats. And a dog.

During the Fall and Winter I host a women's tea party each week where we meet, drink tea, eat fancy stuff and read our Bibles, pray for each other and chat. Its just too busy in the spring and especially the summer to host the tea party so we suspend it for that time.

My daughters and I make manufactured stone. Its a dirty job, but its one we can do together. We happen to live by a major Hi way so we just put the stone on pallets and put it in the front yard and people see it and stop. That's how we get most of our business.

about me

Today is the first day for me to blog. I am naming my first post about me. I love to use coupons, get good deals and save money on stuff. I live in rural oklahoma panhandle. I love the Lord, my husband and my kids. I have five daughters. Two are grown. Three are at home. We homeschool. Have a greenhouse for personal veggies. Milk goats. Raise our own beef. Make soap. Do as much from scratch as possible. I want to learn to blog so I can write my thoughts and dreams down and maybe help others learn a thing or two.
