Sorry for the lack of posting. Things have been hectic in our house. Our youngest had gotten the flu and was home sick for a while. Luckily the rest of us seemed to have dodged the worst of it…for now anyway. I did end up taking a few more days off of work to take [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

So much has changed since my last post. I don’t know where to start. I have been meaning to keep up with it all here but these past few weeks I have been, well um, going through a lot. A mixture of family stuff(hey-I am a mother of a teenage girl-need I say more?lol) and [...]

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 [...]

We went to the attorneys office on Thursday and signed the final paperwork and filed for bankruptcy. We did not see the attorney but worked with his assistant. We went over all the paperwork we submitted to make sure everything was correct. It was.
Seeing everything we owe in total on paper with interest and fees [...]
I don’t know why but the collection calls started to get of hand again. They got very light but now all of a sudden, we are getting 100’s of calls a day again. It is insane! Another problem I am seeing is Honda. I am getting letters now demanding payment for the car that was [...]
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” [...]

I was given a little bonus money this week out of the blue-not much but it was nice. I was told to “treat the kids with it”. My first reaction to this money was- PUT IT TOWARDS PAYING OFF THE ATTORNEY! But then I realized-that would not be right. The kids deserve it and just [...]

This past week was a biggie for me. We had our annual audit/inspection at work. You don’t know how much I dread this every year. 3 days of being with an inspector and let’s just say-if I failed, well the company risks losing their licenses and faces huge fines. No pressure huh? I was a [...]
Here in South Florida, all eyes are on Ike. Me, I don’t like Ike. Ike looks scary. We wont know much until the advisory tomorrow. Of course the kids have their fingers crossed that there will be no school until Monday but we will have to wait and see what happens with this one. I think school is [...]

My check deposited and the bank took their $330 and rubbed salt in the wound by adding a $5 extra charge. They called it a fee for having an ongoing over drafted account or some crap like that. Banks… ya gotta love them.
All this “good news” lately seems to finally be wearing my immune system [...]
