Wow!

Wow - it has been forever and a day since I've been on here!!! Life has gotten much more busy since I started working nights. I work one weekend day and 3 nights a week, and I still technically am a stay at home mama during the day, well, at least am with the kids at home and all over town, but boy, it's complicated!!! It's working well for this season, but the caffeine intake has gone up and the sleep has gone down... :(

TV Clueless

I realize more and more how clueless I am becoming in regards to technology. I was trying to set up an all-in-one remote the other day, and after about 20 minutes of frustration, just gave up... Easier to crawl out of bed to hit "off" then to figure out that remote! I can't even figure out what the code is for the tv. What brand is it? No idea... Could be Samsung, or maybe Sony, who knows..... I surrender - I'm just TV Clueless!

Truck notes?

Vehicles are such a huge expense that you really can't get around in most communities. We just sold our van and downgraded to a car, saving lots in gas money, but now I'm afraid that the truck might go. We don't need it for things like rv towing or boat towing or any of that fun stuff, but my husband really does need it for work. I really hope that it can hold out a bit longer....

More School?

Once again I am playing with the idea of more school.... I have a Bachelor's degree, and an additional Associate's degree, but I know that a Master's degree would open up even more doors for me jobwise. I know I'm a nerd for saying this, but I just like learning new stuff too, and if I can do that while getting a degree, why not? :)

I found information online today about Masters degrees online that I thought would be good to share here...

Have you ever heard of Gonzaga University? It was ranked number 3 in the West by US News and World Report, which is obviously a highly credible source. It was also ranked one of the nation's best universities by The Princeton Review and Forbes Magazine, and as a "best value" by Kiplinger's Personal Finance. Sounds decent, right? Anyway, the reason that I was sharing was that Gonzaga offers several of its masters degrees online, which not many top ranked schools do yet. They've realized that doing this offers experienced professionals, who may otherwise not be able to because of professional or personal commitments,the opportunity for an advanced education.

Just curious if anyone else has heard of them, or worked with them? Another thing to try to fit into my schedule!! :)

For the pooch

My daughter's dog has an recurrent urinary tract infection. It's no fun for her, or us. We can treat her with antibiotics, again, but I'm wondering if maybe we should put her on some pet supplements to keep her from getting them over and over again. Seems to make sense to me, right? :)

A whole aisle

I was at WalMart the other day, in the health and beauty section, and saw that they have a whole aisle of diet pills and weight loss supplements. Wow! How do you know which one would be the best to help you in your weight loss goals? This site above actually will review some of them for you... Check it out :)

Back to school? Really?

I was looking through the sale flyers today, and I saw a few things on "back to school" sales that threw me for a loop. Handheld video game units, MP3s, and ipods were all sold at back to school prices. Really? Which teacher put these on her required shopping list? I guess I'm just cranky... These are all good things, just labeled funny this time...

Things I forgot today...

My brain is seriously going!!! I had a busy day on Friday, running kids here and there, a few merchandising jobs, a homeschool picnic. A fun day, but by the end I could have filled a long list of all of the things I forgot that day: hot dog rolls for the picnic, a box cutter and tape for the merchandising job, a camera for the last tennis lesson... The list goes on.... Sigh... Oh well. We all survived, and probably will another day too... Things that will most likely improve when I am out of this season of mommy sleep deprivation.... :)

Heard of this one?

So I was just jabbering about weight loss pills and then started wandering online... I just like to see what's out there. Has anyone heard of noxycut? I know that there is a lot of information online about the different products, so maybe I'll dig around there and see what I can find... Just good to know what tools are available :).

They fit!

An exciting day today! I guess all of the running and chasing kids when we were camping last week paid off :). A pair of jeans that hasn't fit for a while fit today. Whoo hoo! I guess I can put off my perennial search for the best weight loss pills for another day....
