October Update!

I've been busy lately. It's an election year so I've been busy with that. I can't wait until the election and yes I will be voting for Obama again. Things have been going well for President Obama and I believe he will be re-elected despite a rough first debate. He doing very well in the polls and Mitt Romney may have taken charge in the first debate, but he hung himself with his own lies. I never set out to dislike Romney so much! However, as time has gone by, the more he talks the more I can't stand him. Obama/Biden 2012!

I've been busy doing stuff around the house. We fixed up a bunch of things around the house and have been boxing up clothes and stuff that we don't need. I'm hoping that we can have a yard sale soon. We need the money really bad. Glenn missed 1 1/2 weeks of work when he had an infection in his leg and he missed all this week due to a lack of work to do. So now we are broke, behind on a few bills and we still haven't had a party for our boys whose birthdays were on September 15th & September 25th. It breaks my heart that we have nothing to give them. I'm going to buy them stuff they need when Glenn gets back to work and we still can have a party for them. Just going to take another week or two.

Times are tough and I'm trying to get some of my products sold, but it's difficult trying to do this on facebook. I need to get my website back up and running, so that people can order from my site. I've made a few sales, but need a lot more especially now. Glenn is going to start looking for more work tomorrow and I hope he finds something, because we are in a tough spot right now. I made up some more soaps and I have to get them bagged up and labeled than they will be ready to go. The soaps I made are in Fall scents. They smell amazing. I have talked to Glenn about putting some products out for the garage/yard sale and to see if we can sell some stuff. It's hard watching facebook friends selling out of items they have made while you have only made a few sales. It sucks and at times I just want to give up and break down and cry. I'm just starting out so I'm sticking with it and hopefully things will turn around for me.

Samhain is coming up at the end of the month. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I know that I need to get back into doing some witchy things. I'm actually thinking about having a Dead Dinner, but I'm not sure. I do know I'm going to burn some candles for friends and family that I and my hubby have lost. There has been a lot of death in both families and a few we are still trying to deal with, so I think it's important to do something in their memory. Going to take my kiddos Trick or Treating and I'm hoping we can come up with some costumes before then.

The kiddos are doing well in school. The governor of Nebraska's wife, Sally, went to my children's school today and read them all a book. Each child got a copy of the book, so now we have 4 of the same book. It was great of her to take time to visit the kids, talk to them, and read to them. She's a smart and wonderful woman, but I can't stand her hubby because he has bigoted conservative views. My kiddos said they had a great time and enjoyed talking to her and hearing her read and that's all that matters.

I know I've taken several weeks off from blogging, but there are many more blog posts to come in the next few weeks.
