Well I am finally back. I have signed all the paperwork, surrendered our vehicles and ready to start again.
As you may or may not know my business took a hard hit due to many factors. Now It is day one and I am starting again. You may or may not be happy to know that I currently have enough work to pay the bills and put food on the table. We have also managed to scrounge together enough money to buy a decent used minivan. All in all I would say we are doing well.
I am particularly impressed by how little we managed to live on this month. We spent the lowest amount on groceries ever. We managed to buy a vehicle. Granted we had to let a few bills go late but this was on the recommendation of our trustee so that we would still have a decent vehicle for Kevin to commute to work with. The vegetable garden also helped us save money. A $60 overall investment has saved us $100 and we haven't even started picking tomatoes, melons or carrots. Yum! I can't wait.
Next it's time to look at what is on the horizon. There are several options I am considering in the future. We are considering designing children's toys, wooden furniture (putting Kevin's skills to work), working part time for a client, web design...I actually have a lot of options and for that I am extremely grateful.
But this time I am not going to rush into it. I want to make a decision that is right for me and my family. This time I want to feed my soul, not my debt.
Wish me luck and I will keep you posted! I am working in the garage with Kevin this weekend. He is teaching me to use the scroll saw. Hopefully I will still have all of my fingers so I can still type!
