I LOVE the 4am thing too! I wish I had thought about that when we lived closer to my parents. They did used to come over when the kids were really little but not until after they opened their presents:( The things you wished you could do over. Now we are 1000 miles away and wish each other...

Jenn those are great ideas! My little ones are unfortunately getting to the age where they are questioning, especially since the older kids on the bus are telling them that Santa died. Isn't that nice. My DS who is 7 came home crying one day. My heart broke. As far as our traditions, we...

Insurance companies unfortunately own us:( A bit of a different scenario, my father-in-law was rushed to the hospital by ambulance recently and needed open heart surgery. Let's just say, thankfully they were able to stabilize him for a week until the insurance company decided they would pay...

Thanks for all of the ideas. I think I'm going to focus on 30 minutes in the morning of cardio or weights and make the weekends my longer workouts. I will be on the move constantly at work so hopefully that helps along with not having access to the kitchen all day:) I think I may treat myself...

Thanks for the well wishes and the tips. Although I was afraid you all were going to say get up at 5:) I think that is what I'm going to have to do. Looks like an extra cup of coffee is on my morning list! Wish me luck!

Hi all! I'm a bit of a lurker here but I love reading everyone's posts, they really get me moving! So I got a job yesterday, yay! I'm a nurse and I'm going back after being home with the kids for 10 years. Unfortunately for financial reasons I've had to take the full-time position. So now I...

That is so great! Glad to hear he is home safe and sound!!! Please thank him for us:)

That is great! What did he use? I really need more space on my tiny workout floor and that would be perfect!

I have a question for you all. (sorry to hijack your thread, bestIcan) I also am getting ready for interviews after staying home for almost 10 years! How do you answer the question of why you haven't worked in so long? This has me a nervous wreck. Thanks to anyone who can answer and lots of...

my 10 year old decided to heat up a piece of pizza for a minute in foil in our built in microwave while i was downstairs working out. there is a small pinhole in the mesh of the door but not all the way through and a small black mark on the back of the oven. i of course can't get a hold of DH...

Great, that's what I was afraid of:) Unfortunately we went shopping the other day and the dealers weren't too willing to negotiate. You would think with this economy they would change their deal. Thanx for the input, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good car at a good price!

Good afternoon all. I have a question for any of you who have or had a lease before. We are about to turn in a 3 year lease on a toyota. We took very good care of it, DH only drove it 5 miles to work. My question is, do we have any leverage to negotiate the disposition fee or anything they...

I'm in your shoes too! I'm so happy to hear that I'm not the only one. I've been a SAHM for almost 10 years, yikes! I'm a nurse and we have decided that I have to go back in the fall. DH and I wish we could wait longer because his job is demanding and he travels a lot but unfortunately with...

Gayle, I am so sorry. My heart aches for you and that poor family:( I cried as I read this because I too am MAD! I'm so tired of hearing how cancer effects everyone. I lost my sister a few years ago at 25 from brain cancer and boy was I angry. The ironic thing was, she worked in research to...

So glad to hear everything went well Ellie! And your attitude is so wonderful and upbeat. Your DS is lucky to have a mommy like you:)

I loved it! Unfortunately when DH and I decided to try it, we didn't feel very welcome in the class. Apparantly we took some of the "regulars" bikes up front since it was our first time. But we both really enjoyed the workout. Give it a try, you'll get a good sweat going:) Oh and congrats...

Wishing you so much luck for a safe trip and praying you get a very wonderful Mother's Day present:) Let us know how it goes and give that little boy a big squeeze for all of us!

Oh and thanks for the heads up on the prepayment penalty. I forgot to ask that but will:)

Thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of paying less interest. We tried paying a little extra to the 30 year but I'm not that disciplined. That's why I like bills set at a certain number and taken out automatically! Oh and the rate is better than what we have now. My only hesitation on...

DH and I are trying to consolidate our debt. It's not much but it's frustrating how much we pay to the credit cards to pay them off and they just raised their rates on us(we have great credit btw). I called the mortgage company and they can give us a 15 year mortgage for only a little more than...
