Incoming vs Outgoing

Obviously I have a problem with more money currently going out than coming in.

I need to get this fixed ASAP.

Currently both me and my husband work full time jobs, so we are needing to find some ways to bring in more cash.

I have been babysitting in the evenings and on weekends but those opportunities only come a couple of times every couple of weeks, which is not consistant enough to rely on. I can barely afford my sitter as it is, so I am going to have to be creative and come up with something that I can do to earn money with my kids in tow or that I can work around my work hours and my husband's work hours.

I am currently cleaning out closets and thinning out the overflow of toys my children have and adding them to the pile of things we no longer need or use for a garage sale. If anyone has anything they would like to donate- let me know!

We have cut back on so much already. No cable or satelite but we do pay about $9 a month for Netflix but that is literally our only means of entertainment other than having the basic internet, and we even cut back to the basic internet, none of that expensive high-speed-blah-blah-blah... We do not go out and we have tried to limit the amount of junk food we buy at the grocery store too. So we are currently getting to the bones of just what we pay bills on.

And I just filled out an application to work at the Domino's down the street in the evenings/weekends a few nights a week when my husband is off work so he can watch the kids, maybe I will get a call back...

Ball up and Cry

So my hubby has been out of town for over the last week and he won't be back for almost another week. I am going insane. I don't think he realizes how much we appreciate everything he does and that we do know how hard he works and all the things he does for us. It becomes apparent especially when he leaves. But I want to have the house just as clean and kept up when he gets home as it is when he is here but I am finding it very difficult to keep up with everything as well as it is when he is here. My husband pampers me. He cleans the house, does yard work, does the check book, cooks, tends to the kids, fixes the car, does the dishes, the laundry, etc... But I also miss him. I am missing how he makes me laugh, makes me feel better when I am stressed, plays with the kids... My insomnia has been horrible with him gone. There are nights that I end up fussing at him to rollover because his snoring keeps me up, but when he is gone, the silence is maddening. I want the snoring ba...

From a Preschool Teacher's Point of View - Things Parents Need to Teach Their Children During the Preschool Age

Image
     I have been teaching preschool for a few years now and it astounds me how many children enroll in my class lacking so many basic skills that many would assume come naturally. I have had parents ask me what they can do to give their child a good boost in the right direction for success in school. I am proud to say that my students who have moved on to kindergarten each year, start school with a noticeable head start compared to their classmates not only academically but socially and majority start already blending letters, working on sight words and word families as well as starting basic addition and subtraction. Here are a few things that I feel, for the love of all things holy and for the sake of your child, that you should do as your child is a toddler and moves into preschool age. 1. Say "No" every once in a while. Set some limits and stick to them and let your child learn that they cannot just whine until they get their way. Life is full of disappointme...

   I am such an emotional train wreck right now I don't even know where to start.... Thursday I broke my back tooth while eating pizza. It is my own fault as I waited too long to have the cap put on after my root canal... I had to have an emergency root canal while pregnant with Lily and the root canal capped out my insurance so I was waiting until the new year rolled over to have the cap/crown put on but then I found out I was pregnant with Pelia in January. With it already being such a high risk pregnancy and all the other complications, I didn't want any dental work to cause more stress on the pregnancy so I waited even longer, and I guess I waited too long... I have a last minute dentist appointment this evening to have it checked out and I am sure I will have to get an implant so that the tooth above it doesn't start to drop down.  To top it off when one of the mom's to my preschooler's came to pick up her daughter yesterday I asked that she make sure she was h...
