“As we got older, the monsters crept from under
our beds to inside our heads.”
The first of the month is an exciting moment here at Lady Marielle. It is the day that I get to update my lovely and supportive readers on my monster. I’m happy to report that May was good to me. I feared it was going to end crappy, but it didn’t and I’m thankful for that.
I still have a long way to go before I can finally be free of my monsters but with each passing days I feel closer and closer to my goal.
Net Worth Report for May 2014
Can’t have a monster post without an awesome colored up monster by the little man!
We ended the month of May with a yard sale to clear up the clutter in our place. Thanks to my cute little Pirate for helping out!
Thank you, everyone, that has followed me in my journey and cheered me! If you are new here, feel free to check out my previous monster’s posts and of course subscribe to follow me in my quest!

So glad the month did not end up being as bad as you had thought it would be. You had such a great helper for your yard sale – I bet that got a lot of sales – I am a sucker for cute kids trying to sell me things.

I think it is great that you share such personal info about your debt. It can be so overwhelming when there is not enough money to pay the bills.

I wish I could say I am doing as good as you are at meeting your goals. I am far behind and this upcoming camping trip isn’t helping. But it may help me feel better, as I will be glad to get in touch with nature for a weekend at least.
Pam says
Glad that May wasn’t so bad for you and that you are making progress. That little one is really one cute little pirate and they always have so much fun helping at things like garage sales. They also learn a little while they are at it.
