People Shot in Funeral Home

Do you think the director skipped a beat or calculated how much the caskets were going to net him in profit?

I was going to do a whole post about this, but when I realized my first and only instinct was to jump for the macabre humor, I realized it was inappropriate and not . . . → Read More: People Shot in Funeral Home

Catching Up on Bills

It’s been a tough year. Starting a brick and mortar business with cash and refurbishing it from head to toe ourselves was no small task. Marketing and getting clients has been tiring. All this while working jobs and going to school and doing all the other little side-venture things that make a couple hundred . . . → Read More: Catching Up on Bills

Trying to Cut Down on Bottled Water

starbucks-logo-large

But it’s tough.

I see those bright green water bottles on the Biggest Loser commercials and almost bought one once but can’t figure out how I would drink out of one without spilling it all down my shirt. The cup thing I get, it’s the screw on part where the water might dribble that . . . → Read More: Trying to Cut Down on Bottled Water

Parent Teacher Conferences (or … They did What?!)

I spend many hours analyzing my parenting.

What To Do When The Baby Keeps Screaming

It seems that right around a year every one of my kids developed the ability to scream.

It’s a bone-chilling Halloween-quality scream that would make any B-Movie actress ashamed of her performance.

I can hear it anywhere in the house, and it pierces my ears, my heart, and my soul….even though I know she’s . . . → Read More: What To Do When The Baby Keeps Screaming

Sick for Thanksgiving and Ghosts

I thought the ghosts were supposed to come around Christmas. You know, the past, present, and future reminding you to be thankful and give turkey to the poor and infirm.

Last night, I had my very own ghost in my bedroom.

Oh What A Nightmare

No, really. I don’t mean some life situation gone horribly wrong.

I had a legit horrible nightmare.

I was trying to have a funeral for my grams but it was a couple of weeks after she’d passed and for some reason she wasn’t cremated yet so she looked, uh, awful. I had . . . → Read More: Oh What A Nightmare

The Best Way to Pay for Summer School

For the umpteen years I’ve been in college, the time I always looked for the most – the time everyone looked forward to the most – was the payout of the semester “extra” student aid money.

I think this was the part of the student aid package that was supposed to help you eat . . . → Read More: The Best Way to Pay for Summer School
