We were invited about two weeks ago to my nephew's baptism today at 1pm. Guess where we are now? At home. Needless to say that I am the most ticked off woman right now. I was really, really hoping to get to go to this because I missed my niece's christening. Well, now we're not going. I made...

He's been out of work two months and he's driving me nuts. :( I'm not sure if it's this whole anxiety thing, but him being around the house all of the time is starting to wear on my last nerve. I come home to find him watching parody videos on YouTube and in my head, he should be out handing...

So my son is in intermural basketball (it's before "real" sports, where the lil guys just play against their own school in order to learn the game and how to play as a team!) We are at his game tonight and cheering for both teams because IT'S INTERMURAL!!! Anyhow there is a parent behind us...

Hi, this is my first post-been reading for a few hrs (love the site) today the manager of the apt came by to do inspection- I've lived here six yrs and today was the first time that he told me that I had to get new parts (the door section- the armbar that goes from side to side) it's been MIA...

I am really serious about trimming the bills and one of our major household expenses - albeit a necessity, I know - is insurance costs!!! I looked at what we spend annually and it just makes me sick to think of how much goes out to pay insurance premiums, to the tune of about $8950/year for...

Just got rid of some bug about 6 weeks ago. Sheesh! Last night about midnight, my temp was 103.4. I was shaking so hard with chills, even all bundled up! Aspirin took it down. But it's still running 102 today. My immune response sucks! I may have to do that flu shot next year. I...

Oct . 18th I sent an invite to my brothers family to come up on Thanksgiving with his family and stay the long week-end. I phrased it that they would come up on Thursday to join us for dinner but today 11/23 they sent an email they will be here tomorrow. I don't want them here on Thanksgiving...

Yeah, I know...this is I am sure the millionth post about how unhappy I am in my marriage. But, a few things happened the past week, and I need someone to cry to. Our marriage has been pretty bad for a while. Got married at 18 after being together for 4 1/2 years. Now we have been married for 3...

:ache: DH is giving his decision for us to move in October. We've been spending the last week looking for a new house. It's such a PITA. I don't want to be all :dis:... but I really am. I have a list about a page and a half of houses we've looked at online and LOVED! They all range in price...

Ok, I worked on a budget for days... I put bills in the dates that they are due first, then plugged in things I have to pay off, medications, and misc... Here's where it gets tricky... I have an amount that I have to pay every other week. That amount has to come out of the "leftover" balances...

Okay so a couple weekends ago we bought a new to us 2002 Jeep Liberty - cash. Almost in pristine condition. 73,000 miles. This car is nice! and we are happy. Yay us! We had the money put away specifically for this since before I stopped working and started college. Anyways, we bought it to...

Nothing about this cake is going good!!! One--I woke up today at 2pm because I went to bed so late and then by the time DH and I got done running around its 6pm. I can only run my mixer til like 10 or the neighbors can prolly hear it and complain. Its 9 now. I had to take a break. The cake...

Ok. So it doesn't owe me anything it is over 10 years old. But I just don't want to but one just now... Not after paying nearly $800 to have the brakes done on my car (not an optional thing). So I have no free cash to speak of. So I am trying to live without one... but it is so hard. I can't...

I have a sty on the inside of my upper eyelid in the outer corner of my right eye. Other than warm compresses do you all know anything to help get rid of them? It really hurts :( I've never had one before but apparently they're caused by staphylococcus bacteria and I'm really susceptible to...

No COFFEE! :weeping: But...DH got it going in under a half hour. :cheergrl::clap::coffee3: He's my hero. When we are up here at our cabin, we are so far back in the woods, they told us it would cost $140,000 to run electric back here. Uuuummmmm.......no. So we operate by generator. A...

My son hit a deer with my car last night. I'm so glad he is ok. The car not so much. It is an 2001 taurus with a tad under 135,00 miles. I so love my paid for car. It was a nice car and in terrific shape. Dh thinks because of the age and the miles the ins co may consider it totaled. Ugh I have...

It started Friday afternoon with my oldest, buy the evening my baby was sick too, in the morning is was me! We have been sooooo sick. Temps, that just won't let up, vomiting,sore throat , coughing. The only good news is that I bet I have lost 5 pounds. Worst part is , Hubby has to go to work at...

First I get woken up by kids... then I can't go back to sleep because of kids... finally, I give up and come downstairs. Not to mention, I also have severe pain on the right side of my face. Fullness in the ear, pain, etc and it's not fun. Between the skeletal dysplacia, malocclusion and TMJ...

So I am trying to understand what happens, even though I know I may never know the answer. We had a friend who was having a garage sale, so we stopped by to check out what they had. After being there for a while, we find out that they are 4 months behind on their mortgage. Foreclosure is just...

I have had it. Everyday something else in this house breaks or needs to be replaced. First it was my fridge in July. My car air conditioner broke in June and I have been driving around with out it ever since. We are going on a overnight vacation this week and I have to have air conditioning...
