Being Home Alone
Being Home Alone
Written by Sherri Hicks
Being home alone with the kids scares me, it always has, so I made my husband get Home Security Bend for me to feel better. He travels a lot for work so I knew I needed to have something in place to feel better about everything and sometimes I really wish I wasn’t a stay at home mom, too. Just being at that house all day long makes me realize how unsafe the windows feel and how easy it would be for someone to hide out in the woods behind the backyard…I know I sound so morbid and I don’t mean to but I’ve always been the paranoid type so it only make sense I’d be really caught up in the scariness of living here. I think I just wish my husband was home more but for the foreseeable future I guess I’m going to have to learn how to deal with it. I need to put on my big girl pants and deal with it which is what my mom would tell me to do!

Eighteenth Bday
Eighteenth Bday
Written by my friend Constance Hayden
After the installer for Home Alarm SYSTEMS came by today and I got the alarm system set up, I had to go to the grocery store and get ready for my son’s birthday party. He was turning eighteen ( gosh I feel old)! We had been planning a little get together with his friends, but I wanted to make sure that the birthday party was not too much of a little boy party ( I have a tendency to do little kid things). We had a fish fry. My husband and the kids had gone fishing last weekend and caught a couple of grouper. I have been cutting, breading, and freezing them all week. I picked up some things at the grocery to make his favorite cake (German chocolate). We played corn hole, had a bonfire, and also had a ping-pong tournament set up. Everyone who came seemed to love the fish and have a great time. The party definitely turned out age appropriate, but it does make me sad that my oldest is really an adult now!

Deliberate Life: The Ultimate Homesteading Guide
oh my, I have spent hours tonight looking for this book online. I heard that this was a great book to use to get prepared in case anything ever happens.
The only thing that I found is that I can not find this book online for less than $120.00 . I did not think it was going to cost that less.
How ever i did hear that it is a great book .. Let me know if you have heard of or read this book .

Always be prepared
I found out the hard way that you always want to be prepared . I found when traveling you want to make sure that you have everyhting that you need including a gps . What would we do without this wonderful item ? We would be lost at least I know that I found be , I am the type of person is is forever getting lost.
Does anyone else feel the same way I do ? I know that there are others out there that are not good at follwoing directions .
Hope you never get lost like I do.

Moving is SO HARD!
Posted by Gaylord Campbell
I had the hardest time moving mostly because I had no idea what I was doing. My mom is a realtor but we don’t really get along because of the way our personalities clash so it sure would have been nice to be able to talk to her about a lot of the stuff I dealt with. I had a great realtor, though, and she helped guide me through the stuff I didn’t know like which site to get my satellite at (wwwDirect.TV) and who to call to mow my lawn on a biweekly basis. The loan stuff was a no brainer because I’ve always been good with numbersbut to be honest, now the biggest challenge on my plate is how to decorate this place! It’s so big and I’ve got no style whatsoever so I’m actually thinking about hiring a decorator to come in and make it look as good as I know it can. I don’t want to screw up this awesome house with the terrible décor I’m sure I would put in!
