Time to Save
Who Knows?
Sets
I have a boot set next week, and I still do not know what to bring. I will probably bring the usual depending on the time we have. I am off on Monday for Labor Day, and I gave my hours away for Tuesday because it is Frankie's first day and on Wednesday I am working overnight. I hope to accomplish a lot of things next week. I have been goofing off and not studying the way I should be studying. I just need to focus and concentrate. I guess there is a lot that I get confuse what to do first, but I will be alright.

My Tutor is Awesome
Math has always been my issue even in high school and college. I have always been a B student when it comes to Math. I am only in my second week of class, and I am already having a problem with it. It's been years and years from the last Math class I took. Although it may look so simple to some, I am absolutely having a problem with it. We are doing problem solving right now, and I am not understanding them at all. While he is discussing, it just so foggy with me. I don't get it, and I hated it so much that I don't get it. They put in some tricky questions and I am lost. We had our first quiz last Wednesday and I don't think I did really well. The night before, Ryan and I spent 4 hours in the university library just to talk about my Spanish and Math. He is really good at those two, and I am not. He is so excited that I am taking Spanish, so we could converse in Spanish. I am no where close to that and I have a bunch of assignments to do. He did a really good job in explaining the problem to me. I am so happy that he is very patient too with me. I wish I am good with Math. *sigh*
Here to Stay
I wish it was the other way around though because there are a lot of health care jobs available. Like my friend Jenny, she is in school and still managed to get a part time job caring for the elderly. She is currently working for her nursing degree, and at the same time, she does home health to those who are unable to take care of themselves. There sure are a lot of health care jobs available and it is here to stay.

Outdoor facelift
There was so much nice weather this season - even if it was a little too hot for my taste - that I took advantage of it and did a lot of home improvement that I had been putting off for a while. I wrangled my 13-year-old son into helping me out too. One of the main things that I wanted to get done to our house's exterior was repainting the shutters.
I realize now and should have realized then that taking the shutters off the house before painting them would have been the best thing to do, but I decided it would be easy enough. Well, my son ended up dripping black paint all over our white siding. Instead of get mad at him I decided that we would just get some new siding while we were at it. We might as well do all these home updates at once while we were no a roll anyway. So I got sears vinyl siding indianapolis to come out and do the work.
Our siding was little a little worn anyway and I think that the difference in the shutters wouldn't have been obvious if we hadn't gotten the siding replaced.

Moving to North Carolina
Economy has surely affected a lot of families. I am just thankful that Ryan’s company bounced back, or else we could have been in the same situation. Well, moving into an apartment is not that bad after all. It is less the hassle of owning the house, but it doesn’t mean you will just get just about any apartment. There are luxury apartments that you can get too. In fact, if you are around Durham North Carolina, it has never been so easy to find and move to an apartment. You can start by going to nc-apartments.com, for they have a list of luxury apartments around the Durham area.
If you are moving from another state and not familiar with the place, the list of Apartment in Durham, NC will be a good start. You can browse through the website, plan ahead and pre-apply to see if you qualify. It has never been so easy to start fresh with the Apartments in North Carolina.
Scrubs
One of the things I really like about hospitals is the nurses and their hospital uniform. They looked so neat and professional. I used to work in a retail store before, and a lot of people that are in the medical field used to ask me if we sell scrub sets. Unfortunately, I don’t know where to get them. Had I known about blueskyscrubs.com, I would have let them about it. They have a wide variety of scrubs to choose from.
In fact, they sell discounted scrubs at a very affordable price. I also like the different simple, custom, traditional, and designer scrubs that they offer. You also have the option to buy the scrub in a set or separate. They have scrubs for both men and women including scrub hats, lab coats and more. I wish I am a nurse right now, but I don’t do well with needles and blood.
Preschool
Anyways, he will start on the 7th of September right after Labor Day. On that day, I am supposed to be working overnight, so I did not request that day as my day off. I forgot that I asked them to change it for me on Wednesday night instead because it would be rough for me since I have a Math class on Wednesday morning. After they changed it and all is good, they scheduled me to work at 7:00 a.m. -3:30 p.m. for that Tuesday. I was excited because I get off early then I realized that it is Frankie's first day. I need to be there because I have to introduce Papa to the teacher since he will be picking him up most of the time. Ryan is not sure if he will take off, but he is thinking about it. I am hoping I could give my hours away, so I can have that day off. I got so messed up with the schedule and dates that I completely forgot the most important event of my son's life, his first day of school.

Gold Coins
Another investment that will also benefit you in the long run is buying gold coins. Acquiring gold coins are not hard to find anymore. In fact, you can get one with the United States Gold Bureau for immediate delivery or storage. You don’t have to know a lot about investing to be able to get one. All you have to do is contact them, and you will have your gold coins in no time.
Good Luck to Me

Planning a Birthday Party Online
As a mother of three children, planning birthday parties can sometimes be difficult. I tend to run out of ideas for food and decorations. This is when I scour the Internet looking for unique ideas
I like to start with Google and search for the party theme and decorations. I like to look at image results for cute display ideas. Searching just blogs can also get you great ideas. I also like to search for food ideas and anything else to fit my selected theme.
Flickr.com is another great source for birthday party ideas. Flickr.com is just for photos, but sometimes the photos have descriptions. Searching through the photos can give you great ideas for cakes and other food. I usually find some great decorating ideas full of things I can make for the party.
With my hughes net internet service, I can quickly and easily get online to help plan these important parties. Without being able to get online I'm afraid I would have run out of ideas for food and birthday party decorating many years ago.

Owning a Home
Ryan and I lived with my father-in-law for two years before getting our own house. Although Ryan’s credit was near perfect, I have not established any credit just yet because I just got here then from the Philippines. Before we finally decided to move out, Ryan and I researched on what we could possibly do and where to start. It was overwhelming to read a lot of information for first time buyers, but we were determined to do what we have to do. After three months of going through different houses and finally deciding what to get, we were able to close the deal and got the key of our first house on the fourth month.
Not all people are as lucky as us. Our credit was good. Some home buyers thought that if you have bad credit, it will be harder to get a loan. It could be if you don’t know where to find it. It could also be very stressful, but looking for the best mortgage loan entails a lot of research. So, if you are planning to get started in looking for a house, check your credit score first to see what your standing is. Then proceed with learning about finance options within your scope. Owning a house could be a lot of responsibility, but it is worth it,

Out in the Country
Ryan and I lived with my father-in-law for two years. It was out in the country, and the city was fifteen miles away. I felt so trapped being there all the time with nothing to do. I cross stitched, but that did not stay long because my eyesight was getting bad. I watched TV occasionally, but there were only a few local channels to choose from. I was told that since we lived out in the middle of nowhere, cable could not get to the location that we were in. I did not know anything about Direct TV by DirectSatTV then because I just got here. If I had known about it, I would have told my husband and father-in-law that regardless of our location, we could still get a satellite dish for TV service loaded with different shows to choose from.
It is amazing how much stuff they have to offer. I browsed through Direct TV packages by DirectSatTV, and they have awesome offers for new customers. I like the flexibility of having to choose my own specification. They have the premier package, choice ultimate, choice xtra, choice, and lastly the family package. These are a lot of choices depending on one’s budget, but before anything else, one has to make sure to check the government dish rules. We may have to get one for ourselves.
