Homemade Multi-purpose cleaner

1/4 cup dish soap

1/4 cup white vinegar

2 tsp. Borax

3 1/2 cups hot water

Lemon or citrus essential oil (5-6 drops)

I found this recipe at Fabulessly Frugal

I had everything except the essential oil, that I (Bryce) bought at our local health food store. I have done the water and vinegar before, but I really don't like the smell of vinegar that much. You can smell a slight vinegar smell but the lovely soap and essential oil balance it and smells more like lemons, yum!

I bought my spray bottle at the dollar store and it doesn't fit the full 3 1/2 cups of water, so I filled it as much as I could.

Some bumps in the road

Warning to all, venting to follow. . . won't be offended if you close window now!

Okay, I know that most of you know that I was recently released as the YW's President in our ward, yes, it has been about a month and a half. It happened right before I left for Washington.

This is the first time where a release hurt, bad. I felt like I was fired. The hardest part, besides missing the girls is not going to girls camp. They leave tomorrow and I have to stay here :(
Yes, yes, get over it! Move on, I keep telling myself! I am trying!

I have a new calling in Primary (2nd Counselor) and it is fun to be with Brady. It is an easy calling comparatively, but it still is hard. Crazy, because when I was called into YW's I was so scared and here I am missing them so much! I just need to embrace that Heavenly Father has a plan for me, that I may or may not understand at this moment.

Some other things in life is we recently got a minivan, which has been so nice. This was a much needed change in our life and also needed if there would be a possibility of another baby in the future (I am not announcing anything!).

We were supposed to get on new insurance from the company, because it is costs an arm a leg and everything else you have in order to have it. I was so excited for the new insurance to kick in at the beginning of June, but as soon as I felt comfortable, they decided not to change and there goes that arm and leg again! So, no insurance for me, which means no baby, at least not for awhile.

This was pretty much the straw that broke the camels back and I have been in a horrible rut ever since. I hate the fact that someone else is in control of my life! I don't do well with anyone except myself in control!

As all of these dominoes are falling I feel like I need to get myself back to normal. I need to be happy in my life and find peace!

I have started, once again, to start running. It has only been 2 days, but I feel so much better knowing that I am taking control of my life in my own way.
Thank you for listening. Sometimes I just need to write things down and start the healing process.
