I can’t believe that it is Friday already. This week flew by way too fast. My oldest daughter went on an airplane to Wisconsin on Tuesday. She flew by herself. I already miss her. I’ve been in charge of all of her chores, cleaning the litter boxes. feeding the cats and feeding her fish. Ciara has been sleeping in Courtney’s bed now that she is gone. Today is the first day since she left that I did not call her on the phone. I know she is alright. Maybe I…

Weekend Reflection
This week was crazy! We got our car repossesed so I have been busy trying to get another one. Our little Neon just is not big enough for our whole family. Today is the terror’s birthday party. She turns two on January 31. We are going to my parents house for her party. I still have to get her a birthday present. This week has been extremely cold here in Wisconsin. We have had below zero temperatures all week. It hurts just to step outside. I am looking forward to…

The government hopes that the bill will restore confidence in markets and make credit more available to businesses and individuals. Some businesses depend on credit in order to make payroll. People like you and I need credit to buy a home or a car. So if the government is helping out banks with this massive bill how will it help us?…

I’m sorry I’m posting this late. This week was pretty busy. I actually stuck with my work plan and blogged for 5-6 hours each day. I saw my traffic go up as a result. Now I know what I need to do to increase my readership on this blog. But, yesterday I decided to do the housework that I was putting off and spend the day with my oldest.

Yesturday we were riding in the van coming home from a visit to one of our local malls. My oldest (Courtney, 11) was sitting in the back seat listening to her MP3 player and the two little ones were sitting rather quietly in their car seats. Then Courtney said, “Mom Ciara just pulled a huge chunk of hair out of her head!” I replied, “Ciara, don’t do that! Why did you pull your hair out?” Then she started pushing on her head from underneath her chin and replied with this.”…
