Wow! 24 hours a day really is the limit!

So here I am..... still on the road.... need to tell you, not any better, not any worse in terms of where I stood financially the last time I posted.

My debt is about the same, my income as a family is about the same, thank goodness there are two of us with income potential - my personal contribution has gone down, but my better half has taken up the slack.

Why? Well, life of course. Adolescent Autism was our life change. This is the second time autism has done this. We can only go with the flow and do the best that we can. This does not mean we have stopped, just that "24 hours" is a set parameter to work within.

So, I am still determined to pursue this course, even more so now, that I have learned just how many barriers stand in both my daughter and families way to our financial goals.

2007 03 28 Becoming Accountable to Myself

This is not my first attempt this month, year or two years; to find a way to motivate and make myself accountable for my time and actions. I don't know if I'm hurting or helping myself in wanting to achieve such lofty goals, but I am sure going to make an "Amazonian" effort to get there!

This blog is more of a personal journal, so that I may look back and measure what I am doing. To document my struggle to overcome the personal obstacles and daily challenges I have in my life.

To see the honest truth of who I am and what I am about. For me. Am I lazy, ill, unprepared, illiterate, strong, creative, happy, sad, frustrated, joyous, successful. These are things I would like to measure honestly by looking back at my own documented days.

I will have a time line in which to see what knowledge and information I've found and when. What I am spending my time doing. I seem to be at this point in my life at the lowest in terms of time management and budgeting priorities.

So who am I? I'm not sure I want anyone but myself to see this.
