Many times I hear "I dont know how you do it!" Honestly, I don't do it alone at all. I have an amazing support system that helps me out on a daily basis. For example, I have a friend Nicole that is AWESOME with couponing and she never fails to tell me when a good deal is around the corner or even offer me some of her extra coupons so I can get the most for my money. I am truly thankful for her and her ability to do that! Another great example is my church family. There are SO many people to name but a few stick out like Melissa and Jon, Lee, Kim, Jennifer, and Chelsea are just a few that do what may seem like little things but are huge helps to me. Chelsea takes my little Ezra to his side of the church (which is her side too after she drops off her lil ones) Jennifer takes my older two to the upstairs for their classes. Jon helps me when James is working to pick my kids up and meet me somewhere since he is going to get his kids that are close by. I can't even begin to name all the things Melissa does but she knows :)These small gestures are huge to me! My best friend Ashley is always there for me to call on whether I need to laugh cry or just vent about my day and she knows I will do the same for her. Its not often you find a friend like her which is why I love her so much. Her encouragement means the world to me.
Then there is my husband, He is a great worker. He can be so tired but will help me on a dimes notice if I need it. He will watch the kids if I need to go out to shop, or just need a break for a little bit. I know I can depend on him and that is reassuring in itself!
My parents are a HUUUUGE support system! They have given so much of their time and even finances just to keep us going at times. I love that they are so close and that usually I can call and ask if the kids can come over and they let them come over and enjoy every minute of it. My dad has helped James find work opportunities that we are sooo grateful for. Because of the extra work we are soon going to be out of debt!
I do a ton of work..however I couldnt do it without the support of my family, friends and church. Anyways, I just thought that should be known :)
