Grrrrrrr...My Internet Based Business Is Going To Save Me From All Of This

I came home early from work today. Being 8 months pregnant is making my back hurt, my feet swell, and my patience extremely limited when it comes to talking to customers. I thought it was a great idea to come home and kick my feet up. Here's why I couldn't stay there anymore today: First, I arrive at work and had to talk to customers. Mostly, I love my customers. 70% of the time are kind and open to my help and advice when it comes to getting them the best insurance policy. Then, there are the… Continue

Latest from the Homestead

I've been so busy this fall -- responsibilities at school have really ramped up. (Now's about the time I need to start to learn to say NO. -- LOL, not going to happen.)

Welcome to Preschool...

I suppose this is it. We are coming to that time when things change, when my baby is no longer a baby. When my baby is now going to have a life outside our family. He is going to do things I won't know about. He will have friends I won't really know. He will say things I won't hear or do things I am not going to witness. He will sometime be told off by someone else and praised and cuddled by someone else. He will be hugged by a stranger (well stranger to me) when he is hurt or sad. He is o… Continue

Father's Day vs. Mother's Day

I’m never quite sure what to do about Father’s Day. Is it a time when daddy-o is supposed to spend the whole day bonding with his kid crew, or is it a day he should get a break from them? After pondering the question for about five seconds, I decided to go with the bonding. Fact is, he spends a lot of time at work so doesn’t exactly need a ‘break’ from the kids. As such, I lined up a few dad and kid activities for the morning. Breakfast in bed was not on the agenda, so the first activity was t… Continue

An Answered Prayer

After months of not hearing a peep from my 28 year old son, I found myself being very sad and crying unexpectedly. My heart longed to have a connection of any sort with him. A mom begins to wonder if she'll ever see her boy again, or hold a decent conversation with him. If this was how he wanted it to be, couldn't we at least say goodbye to each other? We hadn't fought. We had always been on good terms. But he had quit taking my calls and wouldn't return any of my messages. I shared my broken he… Continue
