So we are having a section of our family room carpet padding replaced due to damage & then the whole room re-stretched.. The carpet has been pulled back, the padding ripped up and we have a large section of concrete flooring exposed. The carpet layer is coming Monday or Tuesday. We did all...

Last month, I ate vegetarian the whole month. I did it to give my body a break, even though it was just a small one, from the abuse I heap upon it on a daily basis. This month, I will let my body know I still love it and want it to stick around, by finding the time to floss my teeth EVERY...

I have been thinking about how I abuse my body with poor choices: eating things that aren't healthy, not getting enough sleep or exercise, allowing stress to get the better of me. I have decided to challenge myself, for the month of February, to try to do at least one thing all month to give...

Thought maybe a few of you would like to join me. :grwave: How Great Is Our God - YouTube We Fall Down - YouTube

I'm so sorry to hear about your condition. I pray that everything goes well for both of you and with the adoption process. Please keep us posted and I'll be praying for all of you.

Hubby had me crying this morning, this is what was waiting in my email inbox this morning: "Happy 27th, Sweetie! Everything we've lost seems like so little compared to what we still have. Here's to still better days to come. Love, Jack"

As some of you may remember, my hubby & I are wanting to trade in our jobs in the big city (Washington DC) and follow our hearts & move back home closer to family & live in the country (Michigan). I am an RN and I have a interviewing with my former boss for my job back next week (ahh, that...

I feel like I have failed my children. Have finances limited their opportunities? It feels like a road opens up only to find out it is a toll road and the price is to high so the road is closed. It feels like this happens time and time again. Buddy comes home all excited about the extra credit...

My 4 year old hates it and has been going for a month now. It's only 2 days a week, 2 1/2 hour days. He cries most of the time he is there. Only one day he didn't. He cries for me and I read where this can be a problem with SAHM. Separation anxiety? The teachers have been working with him and...

There doesn't seem to be a viable person to vent my stress and feelings too right now. Money is very tight right now ( with the high electric of summer and higher grocery bills of growing children ) Some months in the red. Venting to Hubby is not an option as he is in the same situation...

The ones that you can 'consolidate'? If say a CC or several was charging you a 14% interest rate and a Credit Union will let you borrow the amount to pay it off at 8%? Wouldn't that make sense? just one bill? Not sure what DR says about this because I haven't heard the answer so far... TIA

Was shopping in the "big" city with the children and my mom. We had actually gone for a day trip with her to the art museum and dinner out, but decided to see if the big city stores had the elusive half sizes in jeans that our town does not. We found a Justice store in the mall and decided to...

I had an IPRC meeting with the new school last week that DD started back in January. They told me all the good things about DD 8 (grade 2)and all her strengths and that her vocabulary and her understanding of what words mean and her ability to explain things is way about average. I was thinking...

We added $5500 to our various savings accounts this month and paid off our furniture and got the camper balance cut by half. I can have that camper payment gone in a few short months if dh is on board with it. He may want to keep hitting savings hard and I can give him that if he feels the need...

yesterday morning it seems like my 6yr old hit every button I have. That fight with him seemed to escalate rather quickly into total depression for me. I ended up dropping my son off early to my ex because I just couldn't shake the mood. We both apologized to each other and hugged and kissed...

One of my co-workers, a man in his mid-thirties has had a sudden onset of symptoms. He was diagnosed as having arteriovenous malformation in his brain. It has caused paralysis on his right side, blindness in his right eye, loss of some brain function - all of this in two months. My heart is...

I want to get chickens, have for a while. I'm in an unincorporated area where we are allowed a few. I have neighbors relatively close. I can have chickens legally, I've checked all the statutes and everything, called city hall and the like to double check. TBH it's been a while since I was...

After 10yrs of telling my DH all I want is to spend time together as a family and to get out of debt, he is finally all about family time and getting bills paid off and getting me a better auto. The auto thing is a very long story. I have held on for so long and worked so hard just to do...

Dh has been waiting for months and he finally got the call. He has a phone interview on Thursday for a very important life changing job. IF he can get this job I will get everything I have been waiting for. We can move where I want and I can go to school for anything I want no matter the cost...
