A krazy little thing called..........COUPONS

Focusing on paying off our debt makes money tight. I had created a stock pile using coupons about 5 plus years ago and that stock pile held us for a long time, mind you not the full five years just a long time. Some how I had forgotten about doing it and spent a long time paying full price. I returned home from my dads funeral, down, beat, hurt physically and mentally.

My friend in her excitement of her recent discovery of coupons shares with me what she has found. I jump right in I know exactly what she's talking about and she looks at me with that look and yes now we are both krazy over our coupon savings. I've been kinda worried about myself, I want to create, I want to garden, I want to dress cute, I want myself back I'm missing that person. But just today I realized I'm worrying about nothing I just found something new to fill my time with. COUPONS!!!!! I get to shop and save money all while staying on track and getting out of debt. It's fun it's addicting and right now I'm a krazy coupon lady!!

A changed life and the struggle for normalcy

Words can never explain the loss I have experienced and how it's changed my normal every day life upside down. My dads been ill for a long time and we were blessed with a whole year to love him a little longer. We came to his bedside to say goodbye and when we stood around him he fought for his life. I feel so lucky to have shared our extra time, visiting, hugging, joking talking on the phone and even messing around on facebook. Unfortunately just four days before I was to go spend three weeks with my dad he became very ill and passed away before I was able to see him, feel him, kiss him or hold him, my heart is broken in two. My life turned upside down spinning in all different directions, I feel like a moth flying at a light bulb. I'm having a hard journey, all the little things I love to do just don't come to me, the focus and dedication to me and my health gone and without the devotion the pounds come back on. I'm taking baby steps and slowly getting there. I'm looking for peace yet I still seem to find sadness, a heavy ache for a life cut short. I fear my own mortality 64s just too young you have so much more to experience in life. If you see me you just might not know how much pain I'm in because I do love life and most importantly the life I'm living. But this gaping hole in my heart will take a lot to fill. I find myself saying a lot of the time my dad would have loved this or I wish my dad got to experience this. I'm trying to get me back after all of this, the organized me the creative me, the healthy me. They say things get easier with time I think that's partly true I do move forward but one second of realization that's he's really gone brings me dropped right back to square one. Sadness takes over and my heart breaks again, I'm longing for the day when my thoughts of him are happy memories and not just of my loss. This blog post is one of my many steps forward, one of the things I've lost along the way and tonight I share with you all my pain but most importantly one of my many steps forward to healing me and sharing my memories without tears without the pain of loss and just the sweet memories of his precious life.

Dad I will love you forever. I know your always close I've seen a butterfly each day since you've passed and it reminds me of how beautiful life can be.
