  Leia is finally back to school today. She did not have strep. Her case of the runs was from the antibiotics she was/is on to treat her sinus infection that started from her allergies. Whew. So glad she is back at school. She was getting a little...

• A Little Better Today

  Posted on Tuesday March 17th, 2009 at 07:05 in money, business, taxes

  Thanks for all the comments yesterday. I appreciate it. What got me down was that I should have known better. I should have known taxes would be higher. And I should have been prepared. I am just such a terrible business manager, I pay no at...

  So I heard from our accountant yesterday. It was not good news. It never is. We haven't gotten a tax refund in forever. Seriously. When other people talk about what they are getting back, we talk about how much we have to pay. This year was the...

• It's All Mud

  Posted on Tuesday February 10th, 2009 at 06:02 in business, what the heck

  So today is what some are calling National Bankruptcy Day. The day the CPSIA puts many small businesses out of business. Even with last week's one year "stay" of  enforcement, things are still about as clear as mud. While maybe we don't have ...

• OMG Update

  Posted on Wednesday February 4th, 2009 at 08:18 in business, omg

  Last night I emailed the talk show host and told him of the latest updates....which includes a one year delay/stay in implementing/enforcing the law. Sort of. And of Senator Jim DeMint's proposed amendments to the law which he was putting before co...

  I know I've been slacking here. Sorry. Just isn't much of anything going on and I guess I need a break from to do lists. I am still working though, and getting piggy banks painted and shipped. Which reminds me, I have to schedule a pick up for to...

  Posted on Friday January 23rd, 2009 at 06:14 in business, vacation, just stuff

  When I am in the car, or taking a shower, or anywhere not near my computer, I have all these great posts written in my head.  Then I get to my computer and *poof* they are gone.  I need a way to be able to write a post and drive.  I do...

• Let Me Clarify

  Posted on Saturday January 10th, 2009 at 15:20 in business, what the heck

  I need to clarify my point of view on HR 4040 and the CPSIA - Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act. Please do NOT think I am against keeping our children safe. That is definitely NOT the case. I am all for it. Nor am I looking to get a free p...

• I Need Your Help

  Posted on Thursday January 8th, 2009 at 19:39 in business, Help, work at home, what the heck

  Apparently I live in a bubble.  Well, from October through January, I know I do.  And the rest of the year, well, I just don't pay much attention to what is going on in the rest of the world.  I mean, I care, and I do know what's going...

  Yesterday I didn't get much done that was on my to-do list.  That's because this stupid beautiful cart took up all my time.  What should have been an easy project, well, took a lot longer to finish than I ever thought.  I had to spend ...
