I have always been rather strict on bedtime. I think sleep is just so important. Just this summer I changed bedtime from 7 to 8, for both my 5 and 7 year old. So they both go to bed by 8, and wake up right around 7. (they wake...

As someone who has no degree, and the most I ever made in a job ever was $9.25, I'd say that it has to be worth it to those of you who finished.   Of course, I have to tell myself this as I am now going to school. :P I...

Well, and getting that letter from my grandparents (without forgery ha) would be downright impossible. They are anti-government assistance. If I ever get any assistance, I do not plan to tell them about it.

You revived this thread at a timely moment   I was filling out the application online for food stamps, and I just remembered that I have some stock that was purchased by my grandparents when I was a baby. It's in my name, but...

I am all moved in to my new place! I moved in on Wednesday, and was all unpacked by Friday afternoon. That's the benefit of not having a bunch of junk! I adore my cute new apartment and it's all decorated adorably. Now to just KEEP it...
