Chaos Coordinator

Hannah Beth missed the bus this morning so that was the start of chaos. No real biggie though. Load everyone up, drop her off and head to daycare. As we are pulling in, the van to Dawes (Tan’s School) is pulling out. Off we go back towards Dawes….

Drop Tanner off and head back to daycare with Addie. I am sweating at this point and hair is already on top of my head. Sling the door open to get her from the car seat and the child has on one shoe. I search the car high and low and pull everything out on the ground. 

Me- “Addie WHERE IS YOUR SHOE?”
AK- “I Frew out window” 

I quickly remember Tanner giggling all the way to his school. Now I know why. At this point, all I could do is laugh, load everything back in my car, run to my house for another pair of shoes and bring her back. 

The ride from daycare to my office was in complete silence. Not even Dave Ramsey . I did make a quick stop for some of God’s chicken. Happy Friday everyone. It can only get better from here, right?!?

What is your “Why”?

As I was writing out my August goals, I found myself unable to get my thoughts on paper. I didn’t want to just repeat last months (yet again).

It occurred to me that I am now 10 months into my debt free journey and things have gotten (not only mundane) hard. It is so hard to sacrifice. It’s so hard to work all the time. It’s just plain hard.

⁠⁠A little voice inside of me gave me a little reminder and I wrote that at the top of my paper….

⁠⁠”Don’t burn out now! Look how far you have come.”

⁠⁠That one little thing got my fire burning again and reminded me  of my “why”. Why am I doing this? ⁠⁠

To create a life where I never have to worry about money again. I am retiring wealthy on the island where I grew up, waking up looking at the water from my balcony, and feeling completely at peace. ⁠

I would love to know your why?
