How Do I Make It?

My girlfriend and a beautiful "stranger" asked me recently how I support this crew. I get asked that question often. I typed up an answer... here it is...

Honestly, it is the Law of Attraction/the Universe/God that gets us by. We are always taken care of... and then some. We eat mostly organic, the girls go to an amazing, free, Waldorf school (sits in a mountain house on five acres), we live in a beautiful mountain house, I am able to keep my dog... life is good.

My oldest, Shaylee, is living in luxury on campus, learning Chinese and her major is International Affairs. She got herself there... filled out all the paperwork and has the drive. As a mom, all I've done, is encourage her to be herself. We have a great relationship.

Right now, I go shopping for a coffee shop that's in my canyon. I drive down to the Boulder area and grab groceries for them. That's on once a week and I get fifty bucks for it. I also scored a Costco membership. It seems as though I'm at the store all the time anyway, so it's not much different than my normal trip. ;) I am grateful for being able to have my boys with me.
My ex pays me about $100ish a week right now.
The kids and I have worked on a farm for the last five summers... only on Wednesday mornings for about 4 hours. It's an organic CSA up north. So we get around 40 pounds of organic produce every week! Don't worry, we share... we can't eat all of that! It will stop after October... the season is coming to an end.
I also get food stamps and hit the food bank in Boulder (lots of organic options) every now and then.
I live with another sweet mama in a beautiful mountain house. She has offered us her master suite (with a beautiful jet tub, and front loader washer and dryer right off the suite!) through the winter. She has one son and he is only here every other weekend and every Tuesday and Thursday. My girls started school last year and her son goes to the same school... that's how we met. She said when I get on my feet, I can pay $250 a month. She felt as if her house space was wasteful and wanted us to fill it up... we are doing a good job of that. ;)

I do feel as if I'm going to get an amazing "job" soon that I will be able to balance my kiddos with and provide service to others... super excited about it!
