That is what my brain feel like right now. I have been working on insurance receipts for about 6 hours today. I took a little break for lunch, a little break to talk to my mom and mother-in-law, and another small break to pick up the kids and make dinner. Other than that I have been at it since about 11 AM so I think I'm at about 6 billable hours. What do you think the going rate for this gig is?

Too bad I don't have this fun quilt to wrap myself in for inspiration to forge ahead...

I had stepped away from the receipts for more than a month. Now we have more money out than what we should and I am feeling the pinch. I can't carry my debt on my own, I need some cash from the ins. company. We are not in a bad place but I need to get another lot of receipts turned in so we can get some depreciation differential back. It all adds up.



Fred is back in Mexico. The boys were missing him today. Good news is that he should be home on Friday. Until then we will just keep busy and try to keep our minds stimulated.



I worked the Scholastic Book Fair this morning from 7:30-10:00. It was a lot of fun but also a bit expensive. I have a sweet spot for books. Luckily I think I can turn a few in on the insurance. We are still replacing a number of things. How can I say no when my kids ask for a book and the proceeds go to their school. I can't. I didn't. I wrote the check and smiled. I did manage to pick up a couple of things for Nic's b-day so that helped with the justification.



Tomorrow I am swearing off the insurance stuff. I think I am going to throw all of the piles into a tote and hide it in a close so I don't even have to look at it. I may head to the mall to work on those Halloween costumes and stroll. I could go to Ikea and get some meatballs, we are running low, and maybe stop in at Michael's and see if I can get any inspiration for Christmas Cards. I am struggling with homemade from scratch, homemade from a kit or just sign and send. Stay tuned...



OK I am going to go find that tote and hide the insurance piles then watch the DWTS results and head to bed. G-night all!
