Here we go again...I officially got the positive sign (so excited!). My dear daughter will be a big sister next year! But...I'm still working full-time with her in daycare, husband on disablity and going to school.  Life is hectic, yet full.  Now I have to clean up the spare room and learn to make cream puffs :)  Read more >

Is It Worth It to Have a Decent Credit Score??

Credit Score

Recently, we put our house up for a short sale to rent a townhouse closer to work and college. Half the people I talked to about it were, "good idea, will definitely save money, sounds great." The other half were pretty upset, stating such things as, "It is your duty to pay for the house, you are throwing everything away, you are going to drag your credit score into the ground and it will be very difficult to bring it back up." So I ask myself: Is it worth it to have a decent credit score? Why?  Read more >

I must be crazy, but determined (or maybe stubborn?).I work. Full-time as a cook at a nursing home.  My daughter goes into daycare because my husband has nacrolepsy and is trying to get a home business off the ground.And we are trying to have another baby (wish us luck!).But that's not the even the bulk of it.  There are plenty of work away from home moms out there, still starting their families.  There are plenty of spouses out there with disabilities, still providing for their loved ones.  No, these parts are "easy" (or at least do-able).  Read more >

So after 2 weeks of calling and waiting, I finally talked to a person together from my interview in the end of June.  They told me that they are still interviewing canidates til the end of next week, but I'm so far one of the "top top" canidates for the job.  So exciting! I'd hate to leave   my residents, but am looking forward to new experiences and opporturnies ahead.  Wish me luck!  Read more >
