Good evening! I went out and bought a couple of things tonight, a bag of smarties ($6.97) because I've been craving chocolate and some Extra Strength Tylenol ($4.00) because of today's challenge . Tomorrow I'm going to tally up all my expenses and see how much overspent I am! I dropped in to St. Albans tonight and was impressed with the number of people accessing the free food (cheeseburgers) but I felt too guilty to eat there. The volunteers were doing a wonderful job serving to the people.
Headache
Good morning! My challenge today is to try to get an aspirin for my headache. I am going to have to go buy some Tylenol today.

Hello again,
My stomach growled a lot today but I managed to keep going on some boiled eggs, yogurt with fruit, apples and a salad for lunch. My challenge today was to increase my iron intake so on my way home from work I bought a can of brown beans (.99 cents) and a kale salad marked down 50% ($2.48) and ate them for dinner with left over roast chicken. Beans and dark leafy green vegetables are supposed to have iron in them. I'm finding that I am more tired than usual and wonder if it is because I'm eating less food? Am going to stop by St. Albans tomorrow night to see what they are serving.

Woke up hungry
Good morning!
I woke up today with a grumbling tummy. A sure sign of hunger. How many people and children experience this on a daily basis? Today's challenge is "your dietician said your iron is low. Figure out how to increase it".

Good evening!
I must admit I was a bit hungry this morning between eating a couple of boiled eggs for breakfast and then waiting until lunch time to eat. I had to attend a meeting and took a salad and some fruit along. For some reason today I had a headache and was wondering if it has to do with my change in diet or maybe the stress of being on such a tight budget?? When I got home from work I was starving and so the roast chicken from last night made another great dinner tonight. I heated it up in the oven since my microwave is broken. I made a salad from the romaine and veggies which filled me right up. I have enough roast chicken to last for another couple of meals but I am starting to feel that I will be sick and tired of eating the same thing over and over! It's difficult to have variety in foods with such limited funds! I had a chance to ask around about my music lesson challenge today.....since I work at a school, teachers teach music as part of the curriculum and are a great source of ideas. Some of the teachers I spoke with said they would gladly provide very basic music lessons (such as guitar, voice, piano) to a child who really is interested in learning but has no means to pay for formal music lessons. I found out there is a retired teacher who would be willing as well. Another suggestion that came up is to create a "barter arrangement" with an actual music teacher....in return for formal music lessons for my child, I can offer to clean their house, cook meals or help out with important chores in return. Another really great suggestion given to me today is to approach a local church and find out if there is anyone in the congregation who would be willing to provide free music lessons to my child. That's all for tonight! See you in the morning.

Where can I get (free) music lessons for my child????
Good morning!
Just opened my challenge for today - "your child wants music lessons. What are your options?" I am going to think about this today and reach out to some people in the community to see what if any options there are for music lessons for a family on social assistance. On another note, I am thankful for my hot shower and clean clothes this morning and the fact I can drive my own car to work so I am on time!!!
