Well y’all, I sit speechless as I write this. It is almost midnight here, yet my mind is racing. My emotions are…well, I don’t know yet. I could write a book on here but my husband keeps telling me to get to bed so I don’t sleep late tomorrow-on my first day off…yeah my first [...]

I have decided I need to update here a little more and keep up with my financial blog reading every single day. There are many blogs I read that I have been visiting since even before I started this one. It is always interesting to see how people are coping with their debt problems and [...]

This week was a good week! Before work on Thursday, we had a parent/teacher conference for my youngest daughter. It went very well. On top of her getting straight A’s the whole year, we were commended on her behavior. The teacher then asked us our secret for having such a wonderful [...]

I don’t really know what is going on but I think stress is getting the best of me. With the bankruptcy almost behind us and being caught up on all our bills, I should be jumping for joy. But I am not.  A few months ago, I got a burst of energy and started a [...]

Good morning y’all. I wish just one day that I could sleep in. That would require my dog sleeping in and well, she has gotta go before the sun rises. lol It’s OK, it gives me a start to a beautiful day off anyway.
I caught up on my blog reading this morning and I don’t [...]

Well, the worse part is over! We went to the 341 meeting of creditors today. It pretty much was just like everyone described it would be. We waited and waited for the day to come and it was over in minutes.
My husband asked me yesterday if I was nervous and I said no. I really [...]

Oh the joys of apartment living! My neighbors from hell have kept us up the past few nights. Finally around 3:30 am when it got too much-my husband and I jumped out of bed and started banging on their walls! I think they got the hint. When we finally got a few hours sleep-we [...]

These past 2 weeks have been full of ups and downs. I will start off by saying last week was very bad at work and I had my first panic attack in months! Conflicts with the big boss were really upsetting me. I had a decision to make:

quit and really be screwed
stay-sit with a “sourpuss” [...]

Yay, tomorrow is Friday. I am looking forward to Saturday off and back to the grind on Sunday. Sunday is not that hard for me though. No rush hour traffic and people are more relaxed Sundays. This week has been exhausting for all of us. Besides the daylight savings time change, we have been down [...]

This is my first entry on my own domain. It feels kinda cool. What is really cool is the fact that I am learning so much about all this “blogging stuff”. I work in a very technical field but when it came down to blogging-I will be honest…I was clueless. I started off with some [...]

Yay-got my 1st paycheck for 1 overtime week. It is $140 bucks extra. Would have been a whole lot more but so much of it went to taxes. Gotta love those taxes! I upped my deductions this year too. Oh well, maybe I will get a good refund next year for that….lol. $140 is cool. [...]

To help pay the lawyer off faster, I have decided not to pay on the CRV anymore. I know I have said it in the past but truth is-I procrastinated. Having 2 cars helps us out so much but it is a luxury and one we can no longer afford. We ended [...]
