hello, my computer died, its fixable tho. Then my internet went out..The modem died. The wire from the house to the pole had water in it. but I am back now!!!!!!!!!!

my job sucks!!! My boss is giving out daily cleaming jobs. They take away from our daily stuff..it just sucks. Also I am the last one to get a Saturday off. The girl who has barley been there a month gets a Sat. off before me...My one year there is March 14th. I am just so unhappy.

We are a two tv family now. Oh its no big deal...I have a 13 inch tv I have had forever, my hubby plugged it up to the cable in our bedroom, the only downsideis that it has only 2-13,(channels).

money is fine...all bills are paid...no major problems...

give mea couple of days to do more updates, and read other blogs.

I'm backkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not usually talk about family members outside my home...and I usually do not get personal, well today I am but please forgive me if I omit certain things or beat around the bush.

first off, I am not perfect...I am no Bill Gates..No savings account, no stocks..just average. If we play our cards right Hubby and I may have 50 dollars a month after all bills and gas are done. Its not great but it is a step up from years past.

I know that others have to make their own decisions/mistakes and I know its none of my business how others handle money. BUTTTTT my brother in law and his wife scare me. They went almost a month (or was it two??)and now they are finally making money...Do they save any?? Do they pay bills?? nope from what I know they went bowling, played mineature golf, and are now hosting a birthday party at a pizza place for their child. Yes the first check or two can be overwhelming and it can be exciting to have money in your pocket..I have been there. But, I wish they would slow down. She is the only income comming in..She makes minimum wage or close to it and the way they spend money scares me. I know what some are thinking, the only person I can control is myself.

I see lots of people live for the moment instead of the future. Ok practice what you preach wheres your savings account???? For now we save 80% of our change in a jar and will some day convert it to a savings account. We had over $60 dollars saved at one time and it went to a bill, sure glad we had it...now we are starting back again.

My best friend lives in the same apt. complex as my brother in law, and she has yet to get her rent currently up to date..paid in full, and she joined netflex..ok $10 a month is not bad..she is on social security disability and he has a minimum wage job. So I guess they are doing better.......butttttt...no savings

when brother (for short) was about to laase his job I said what are you going to do, he said we will figure it out when the time comes..oh no I always have a backup plan..The friend..I have faith the lord will provide...

They are both on food stamps so I guess that helps..I just try to look to the future and plan ahead..sure wish they did.

My husband and I are not soul mates. We are happy and very much love each other, but soul mates we are not. My husbands brother and wife, they are soulmates. It seems like they do not want to spend a moment apart. When she goes to work he counts the minutes till she is back. He will get worried or anxious if she is 5 minutes late. My husband just knows if I am late I probably went to the store or to get something for dinner. The brother I am refering to has been married 5 years...so they are not still in the honeymoon phase or anything. But you wouldn't know to see them together. Sure they have their moments, all couples do. Neither one of them is perfect...But they just love to do EVERYTHING they can together. Am I a bad wife, I like it when the child is at school and my hubby goes off to work, AAAHHH alone at last. I guess after 13 years we are just in a rut. Plus, my husband is not very romantic. He has done a sweet thing or two, but not much. I love my husband and still think he is a great catch. We have a nice life and do not fight much any more. Who cares if he is not my soulmate, I don't know if one really exhists.

I go back and forth every day about my job...hours and money, or more time at home. I need to pick a side and stick to it. I get paid Wednesday and the money will be good, so I may go back and forth till I see the next check.

I got my gas bill, $70.63 !!!!!!! wow I can afford all my bills on my paycheck. I can not wait to see it, good hours and double time for working christmas. I am so excited, for once, my life is going great!!!!!!!!!

Buffy

I told my husband that I saw next weeks work schedule and I still had three days off...and the hours sucked. He said: The more you are off M-F the more I can work, (he does not have to take me to work or get my daughter from school.)He said that he thought I wanted more time at home and all. I said can you handle the responsability of having to make more money becouse I am making less. He said that he may bring in $400 this week and most weeks should be about the same. Relax and enjoy your time at home, I know the schedule is not your fault. Soooooo thats where I say wowowowow. He said its a double edge sword, you want the time at home but you miss the money..I do understand but since I make enough to pay the bills enjoy the extra time and don't worry. again, wowowowowow. I am truely happy.
