More big $ being spent (by me of course) on car repair. This time on the newest car.Tired of it. Tired of being the only one making the $ & tired of not having $!

After somewhat of a blowout this weekend, I've decided & have started to be more intentional about being mindful of what I say & how I say it to others, especially my family. Yesterday I spoke to...

Now that things have calmed down (being a very short season, it was REALLY busy!), I can step back & reflect. Overall, I would say it was a good Christmas season.First, my expectations weren't...

Just a word of Christmas greeting & blessing today!

It's time again to take stock of 2013 & set new goals for 2014.FinancialWell, the credit card has a balance (due to all the car expenses), but it should be able to be paid off shortly. For some...

So, for a while there, nothing much was going on in my life. Now there is so much to say & not enough time to say it in! So here are the highlights:Work - busy! A person in our dept has gone on FMLA...

Where to begin? I was SO mad at my son last night. I was just talking to either the dog or DH & DS was on the computer doing something, probably getting frustrated with what he was doing, and started...

Yesterday I called in sick to work because I had a pretty bad sore throat & could feel a cold coming on. With plenty of rest, I should be in much better shape to go in the next day.So at about 11am,...

I don't know whether it's just circumstantial or if it's just due to some bad dreams I had last night, but I've been feeling pretty unsettled today.I'll start with my bad dream: I dreamt that DS...

How's that for a title? :)Well, I bought a "Capstar" pill for the dog on Monday. The vet said it would start working in a 1/2 hour, so I picked it up at lunchtime & brought it straight to my pup. By...

Well, the dog's fleas are still there even after two baths & much spraying. Need to call the vet today; I suspect he may need a flea dip. Poor thing!Good news: my daughter's Algebra test was graded...
