$85 a week for 40 hours of babysitting?

(NOXQSEZ) — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 13:01:52 PST

Helping others has always been in my nature, but now, I'm wishing I never agreed to help out.

My neighbor asked me if I could start babysitting her daughter since her and her boyfriend split and their original babysitter no longer wanted to sit. I agreed because I was told that...

So much to good luck.....

I'm NEVER doing my before the New Year's Tradition again!

We got kicked out of base housing a few weeks ago I really hate the Air Force with a passion now. I mean, common sense can go a long way, and they don't have any at all! But you know what they say, whatever doesn't kill...

Almost done

with my Christmas shopping.

While the husband went on a road trip with his friend (to help him out) to Pennsylvania, I decided to do some online shopping. It beats waiting in long lines, and having the kiddos scream because they're bored. One thing I don't like about shopping online...

The D-word

I don't know if i'm being a little immature, but I'm pissed off!

My husband went to a football game last night, but gave me a bullshit excuse that he had to meet all his single friends three hours before the game started so they can get drunk before the game. We agreed that I was...

College Savings and Retirement Planning

(NOXQSEZ) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:57:04 PST

So, I know i'm only 22 years old, but i'm already thinking about retirement. I've been reading "Smart Couples Finish Rich" By: David Bach, and it's really got me thinking alot on how I want to live my life when I'm retired. The only thing is that I don't really know much about IRA's....

My tradition before the New Year.

(NOXQSEZ) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 10:50:41 PST

I have this tradition that I do before the New Year, and it's to clean the house spotless, get rid of old/unused things, and reorganize the house. It's a little asian tradition that my family did for years, but the husband does not understand. We do it to rid the house of "bad" luck,...

Home Business

I'm actually proud of myself because my Avon business is on its way of becoming somewhat successful. I had two customers order from my Avon website this week!! Which is exciting because they weren't family

This is my third time with Avon, and I truly believe that timing is everything....

Friend or Enemy?

(NOXQSEZ) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:27:28 PST

One thing I hate about military life is you don't know who to trust. Being a military wife, I've always been open to meeting new people and becoming friends simply because i'll need the support when my husband deploys. Now, I don't even think having friends are even worth the time...

Irritated

(NOXQSEZ) — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 16:12:43 PST

My husband lost his debit card, and to make things worst, there were charges made to our account. I'm not sure how much these charges are at the moment because they were used as credit. After noticing these charges, I immediately called the bank to cancel the card, and disputed the...

Differences

(NOXQSEZ) — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 10:25:36 PST

There are days when I feel that things will never work between me and my husband. We are just two different people, and want different things in life. I like to save so that someday, I won't have to worry about money. The husband is all about living in the now, spend money now to feel...

PreK: A waste of money or worth the investment?

(NOXQSEZ) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:46:35 PST

I'm contemplating on enrolling my four-year-old in PreK so that she can have a feel of how kindergarten is going to be like next year. I have mixed feelings about it because it's $72.00 a week, and I don't want to lose out on $288.00 I can be saving a month. Then again, I keep trying...

I just got back

(NOXQSEZ) — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 14:07:52 PST

from grocery shopping at the commissary, and I'm kinda irritated at myself for spending $150 on what's supposed to be a weeks worth of food.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to cut down on grocery cost?

I would do anything

to be back in Hawaii with my family right now. I envy the life I could've had if I had stayed with my dad, but things happen for a reason. I don't regret having a baby and getting married at 18, moving away from family, and living on my own because I'm somewhat proud of the person...
