Peace but still some struggle and its okay

So we are here. In our new place. Its incredible. Not even in my dreams could I imagine such a wonderful place. I have an incredible career and my children are safe and happy. To be honest the first week was crazy. We went a few days without money but I  planned ahead and I had some Ramen noodles+I purchased a turkey before I moved so that if this happened we would have enough for the first week but I forgot to bring my oven pan. AHHH, So I charged my empty checking account and bought chicken, noodles,tuna.  I baked the chicken, wrapped in foil. What a mess that made. But the kids ate. So who cares if I need to scrubb the ish out of my oven for an hour. The next day they ate tuna without mayo, they came up with a yummy recipe. They added Lawry's seasoning and Mrs. Dash to the tuna. They ate Ramen noodles in the evening and peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. We had eggs and milk and cereal too. Because mama knows how to shop ;) but no real meals for dinner.  I didn't eat so that they would have enough. Finally I received some food assistance till my first check. I did a great big shopping so no ramen noodles required. We should have enough for the month. Work is fabulous. The people are fantastic the flow is great and my clients are wonderful. I just had trouble the fifth day purchasing gas. But I charged my checking again and of course I borrowed to put the money back the same day.  Now today I find myself in the same situation only I can't charge it to my checking because I do not know when I will be getting money to put it back so I can't do that. Today is pay day but I will not receive my check because they waited until the day before yesterday to say that the direct deposit info I sent my company was blurred. Life is funny but its okay. We have a place and if this one job doesn't work out I will work 3 jobs if I have to because my kids will not ever have to live in that place ever again. I will work any where. I am happy because they are happy. What else can a mother ask for. A roof, food, peace and safety for my children. We have that now. Just by having our own place. P.S. I received a $25 gift card from a relatives friend and I bought some essentials including a disposable pan to bake the turkey. It was yummy. This week I made a yummy delicious dinner and I was so happy, the kids loved it and it was healthy. A real meal too. I haven't cooked like that in 4 years because where we were staying at, I was limited on what I could do in the kitchen. I wasn't welcomed to use the kitchen. I have my own kitchen now. P.S. days later I used the oven self cleaner, First time I ever used one. Pretty cool. But boy the fumes were ridiculous. Did I mention we had no toilet paper or soap for a while. We managed. We are creative. I am still excited because even though we have struggles, we have peace. Real peace. What is success without struggles? I welcome the struggle because I know we will overcome them and be much better people for it. Til next time, Thanks for lending me your eyes, your attention and your heart.
