I have not found time to publish posts on my blogs, even though at one time I was making quite a bit of money off of them. Today I decided to go back and read some of my old posts and it reminded me of why I started this blog. It was because I was focused, lost, and wanted to share my journey with others. It was not all about the income that came in, it was the joy of teaching others.
What I find entertaining is that I was sharing interesting topics, even before I went to school to receive my business degree, during which I had to take quite a few finance courses. I have learned even more about personal finances, debt, income from home, budgeting, and so much more. I need to share these things with other people who would take the tips and run with it. I would be happy even if one person found one post out of a hundred helpful. So hopefully I can keep my focus and share real financial tips to help everyone.
Thank you to anyone who has ever read one of my blogs, or one of my posts. To me it truly does mean a lot. I hope someone has found a post useful to them and I hope I can bring back out my creative side to make longer posts that share more financial tips.
This is my journey as a single mom getting my credit and finances under control. Simple ways of making money and saving money from someone whom has self taught themselves everything and wants to share their journey.

May be off work for a few weeks
On May 26th 2019 I had a hand injury to my left hand. It was crushed between a case of energy drinks and a wire shelving unit. I did not think much of it until I noticed the swelling started immediately. This scared me enough to where I decided to file a work comp claim through the company I work for. Now to let people know of my history, I am an assistant manage and I have worked for the company about eight years, so I did not take this lightly at all. Since then I have done physical therapy, imaging, many Doctors visits, and finally a nerve test. Well the nerve test came back that I have carpal tunnel syndrome.
I have to say that I am excited that they finally figure out one problem, but it does not explain the pain I have had on the side of my wrist. But either way I will be seeing the surgeon to discuss surgery. I am worried about having surgery on my wrist. I know it is work comp and they will pay for my time off, but to possibly miss six weeks of work scares the crap out of me. I love my job, I love going to work most days, and I am worried about putting so much work on other people there. I am also worried that the income will only be 2/3 of what I usually make and it will be every two weeks, where I am used to being paid every week.
On the upside I can spend some time with my son and my daughter. I have had a total of 4 or 5 days off since the beginning of summer, and now that he is back in school he keeps making small comments about never seeing me. It was different when he was younger, he did not worry about it as much, but now it seems to be greatly affecting him. He needs his mommy, and I need to figure out more time with him no matter if I have surgery or not.

After 8 years, and update on my finances
I had honestly forgotten about this blog over the past few years. I have been working to progress in my life and work. I have done it though. I am making a fairly good income, I have 2 amazing children now, and my debt is minimal. I have built my credit up enough to purchase a home in rural Colorado, I have a retirement account, and I am about three to five years from being debt free other than my home. It is an amazing feeling to reach these milestones in my life. I have been working on a blog and some Ebooks about my financial success and my family so if you are interested please check it out!
