Well, here is my update for the week. I am really trying hard to keep up here because when I do, I keep myself more accountable for things.
OK, we’ll start with savings. After my last post, our savings dwindled down to just under $1k. Not where I wanted to be, that’s for sure. I will [...]

I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Years Eve. I welcomed in 2010 with open arms. 2009 did not start off so well since we were still in debt up to our eyeballs. It did not end so well either with the death of one of our closest family members. But you know [...]
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 [...]
So my week in review-did I accomplish everything I set out to do? Yes, and no. Monday went well and I wrote…a lot. My little one came home sick from school later that afternoon-and by nightfall-I was sick! She got well the next day-me, I have been sick ALL WEEK. I thought it was just [...]

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 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 [...]

Wow-only a few hours left until 2009! It felt like just yesterday that I was writing on this blog on how great 2008 was going to be! We all know how that one turned out…
It got me to reading my own blog here and I went back to 12/31/07 and geese-I am in the same [...]
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” [...]

Well, today is Friday and I have not been back to work since my last post. This is so unlike me. I think I am just getting to a point in my life that I realize life is just too short for BS. I have been sick these past few days but I didn’t lay [...]
I have always been a person who just can’t stand to hear someone complain about their job or certain circumstances they may be in. I have always thought that life is what you make of it. Of course some situations we have no control of but most we do. You don’t like a certain friend- [...]

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 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 [...]
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. [...]
Well guys, after raiding my Winnie The Pooh Piggy Bank this weekend-I realized more than ever that something has got to give. I went and cashed in my “spare change” to buy groceries because we were broke until Tuesday and wanted to make sure NOTHING bounced. My bank will never see another returned check and [...]

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 [...]

As Hurricane Gustav passes us by, I am feeling really sorry for the people in the Gulf Coast right now. It has been cloudy, dark and windy here these past few days. We are just getting the outer bands so I can just imagine how powerful that storm is. I just hope everyone stays safe and it [...]
