Goals and Dreams

Many times I have mentioned that I would love to find a job where I can be home more and make money.  I would love to stay at home and work in my pajamas. 
There are always jobs listed in the various online ads and sites.  Most of these listings are scams and get you nowhere but [...]



Glimpses of the Former Me

Before I started working full time, I was the queen of multi-tasking and volunteering and being all around involved….in everything.
I was very active in the PTO, Vice President to be exact, I was at the school constantly to volunteer for everything and anything, I was the team mom for Chuckie’s football team, I was running around [...]



Where Do I Go From Here

So many changes have happened at work.  The work itself is still the same, however, the supervisor (she calls herself the manager so I’m not sure which it is) has changed in so many ways. 
She is beginning to drive me a little nuts.  Yes, I realize that she could find this post and beat the [...]



Small Town Love

We live in a small town.  Well, it was a really small town when I was growing up but it has grown like crazy.  It still has the small town feel though and many people who have moved to this area, say that they loved it because it is a nice, small town. 
It was a [...]



Happiest Holiday Season in Years

I am so ready for Christmas.  I don’t mean that I am ready for it all to be over.  Usually, that is how I feel every year around this time.  I am usually so stressed out about how I am going to finish it all and how I am going to have gifts for everyone [...]



Double Digits

Tomorrow, December 13th marks my daughter’s tenth birthday.  We are entering the double digits.  I have so many mixed feelings swirling around about this wondrous, exciting day. 
Jada is a beautiful girl.  Inside and out.  I look at her and I see my baby girl and a young lady.  She has so many fabulous qualities about [...]



Curveball

I’m done whining, I really am!
After complaining that daycare was taking my paychecks away from me, I decided to look in the paper for any daycare or childcare providers that might be a little less expensive to help us out.  I didn’t find anything but I did see an ad for a daycare hiring a full [...]



Things That Make Me Happy

There are several things that make me happy.  Some are big things, some are small things but  each of them just make my heart flutter. 
* Home improvements.  Since Chuck and I decided to stay where we are and fix it up, we have been talking about what we can do to make it look nicer [...]



The Big Apple

I am so excited about an upcoming girls trip that I am going on.  Chuck’s niece brought up an idea two weeks ago about a one day bus tour to New York City.  The purpose of the trip is to go shopping but really, you can do whatever you want.  I was very interested when [...]



Christmas

Yes, you read that right. I am talking about Christmas!  Every year I say that I am going to start shopping early and get things done as early as possible.  It has been a few years since I actually did that though.  This year, I have a pretty good head start. 
I started in mid September.  [...]
