Holiday Weekend!

First, let me apologize for being so sporatic online latley. Work is SLAMMED and that is good for the bottom line, but that leaves lunch hours a thing of the past for just a bit. Hopefully all will calm down within the next few months and I’ll be back to annoying you all with Christmas posts [...]

Got insurance?

I have never particuarly thought of insurance as something frugal.
Something necessary, but a check you write grumbling because you just know you’ll never see any of that money again. At least you hope to never have to use it.
Disaster!
A dear co worker lost her home and two pets yesterday to a fire.
Thankfully her family [...]

Nuts!

Sometimes you feel like a nut…..

Ooh my goodness. If I survive until June 30, it will be a miracle.
Work is CRAZY BUSY!
So I googled “Working Mother Stress Relievers”…

I think the kids will be reasonably entertained by tonights festivities. [...]

Haiti relief continued

I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy weekend. We will be busy this weekend visiting with family for multiple birthday parties.
However, I just wanted to point out that in the blogging world, many many bloggers are actively fundraising for the citizens of Haiti.

Housekeeping

Welcome to all of my pals that I emailed or sent a Facebook message to today!
Since this is such a new blog, I need some help. I don’t really know what I’m doing yet, but I’m trying to fake it.
If you notice something that doesn’t look right, will you email me and let me know? [...]

I don’t wanna, you can’t make me!

I have known this time was coming for at least a month now, but I have been dreading it something fierce.
It’s time….. to either let my house cleaning service go… or to SEVERELY cut back on the frequency they have been coming.
