Hello everyone. I thought I’d take a few minutes to tell you a little about me.
I am a 52-year-old single mom with 2 teenagers. (They’re available cheap btw!) Kidding, kidding, kidding of course. I wouldn’t take anything for my kids!
Back to the beginning. I was born in Washington, D.C. and lived in a couple of different areas in Maryland until I was 22. My last place of residence in MD was in what is known as Southern Maryland and we lived on the Potomac River. I began working for the Federal Government at the Immigration and Naturalization Service after I graduated high school and ended my “career” with the Fed Government in Charleston, SC. I got married and moved to this small town in Northeast Alabama when my husband retired from the Navy. I have been here for over 20 years.
When I moved here there were no government jobs so I have been employed at various jobs in the last 20 years including waitress, Dollar General, running my own house cleaning business, teaching horse back riding at a local girls camp, and am now employed as the Assistant Manager of a deli/bakery in a grocery store full time. I also have a part-time job as night auditor of a Days Inn working 2 nights a week.
My husband passed away a little over 9 years ago from cancer and I have been trying to raise these 2 kids on my own since then (well, I did have a short-lived marriage that ended about 2 years ago).
My goal with this blog is to have a place where I can post information that I feel is relevant to most everyone these days. Information that I find on organizing our homes, lives and time. Ideas on how to make more money, spend less, and hopefully save some…items that are extremely important during this hard economic time we are all having right now. And of course, I want to keep you informed about what I learn about the Scams that are running rampant on the internet these days…especially those that promise to make us rich while only working 2 hours a day! (Some I have definitely learned about the hard way!).
I want to try to help us all stay motivated and not feel so depressed and stressed out.
I want to help all of us make some sense out of our world and get back in control of our lives.
