Moma's Crazy World

Progress

2012-05-28T09:00:00.001-05:00

Each month, figure out how much you earned, how
much you spent, and how much you saved that month,
and record it. Then, try to match that number the
following month. This is, in effect, the simplest form
of budgeting you're merely trying to keep your spending
under control from month to month. It also lets you
see your continual progress. If you were able to live a bit
cheaper and put just $50 a month into a savings for six
months, you now have $300 saved up. Showing you that
your little changes are really adding up to something
big.

Tolerant

2012-05-28T08:21:00.001-05:00

When was the last time you tried to understand
a bias you hold toward something or someone?
If it's been a while, now might be the right time
to revisit your beliefs. Growing up, many people
consciously and unconsciously absorb the biases
of their family members, associates, friends, and
peers. When you let go of intolerant biases and
recognize and respect the beliefs of others, you
are practicing tolerance. Consider one or more
of the beliefs you still hold. Perhaps your beloved
grandmother told you that things would never change
or the father you respected taught you not to trust
anyone who didn't look or talk like you. Think
for yourself. Using truth and fact, compassion and
understanding, create a new lens for seeing bias.

Booster

2012-05-27T13:46:00.000-05:00

I work in a factory with alot of different electronic
equipment and I heard that wilson cellular booster
is supposed to be good. Like me I live out in the country
where I hardly get a signal and that is supposed to help
with that and the quality of the sound in your cell phone.
I think it would be worth a try for me so I could use
my cell phone and get my home phone shut off. Because
I am paying over a 100 a month for a home phone, and
my cell phone is only 45. That is so obvious which one
I need to get rid of.

Long Term

2012-05-27T13:39:00.001-05:00

I have not been feeling well at all lately. And it has really
got me thinking about looking into getting life insurance
for my girls. What if something were to happen to me?
I don't want to leave them with the burden of not having
any money to bury me or make it in their life because
their mom was being selfish and only thinking about now
not later. It just really scares me.

Machines

2012-05-06T14:10:00.001-05:00

I was watching something on tv about airplanes
and jet machinery. Wow it is amazing how big
and how much knowledge and training you
have to have to work on them. I could not imagine
working on an airplane.

Discounts

2012-05-04T19:52:00.002-05:00

I started this new job a few weeks ago in a plant.
We test and quality check on many products, from
playstation, nintendo, computers, tv. But what I
did not know because no one told me is that I get
a discount on products which means I can get
discount dvds. We love watching movies.

Musicians

2012-05-04T19:48:00.001-05:00

Since my oldest daughter has been in band playing
the saxaphone, there does have to have some
knowledge of musicians like Allen Heath. You
need to listen to the music and also the melodies.
Anyways this is what my daughter told me. I don't
know I don't play instruments.

PJ's

2012-04-02T16:56:00.002-05:00

Every women loves getting in some comfortable
pj's after working all day. But do you know
how unbelievably difficult it is to find
pajamas for women where I live? You can't find
any items without cartoon characters on it.
What happened to comfortable but sexy mature
pajamas at a decent price?

Entering

2012-04-02T16:52:00.002-05:00

I was really thinking about getting some
do not enter signs for my house because
the weather is getting warmer so the
neighborhood kids are coming out and the
animals. I have three dogs and when they
see the kids they want to play and
start barking. But then when they see
animals with kids their animals always come
in my yard then the kids. I just don't
want a child getting hurt on my property.

Toys

2012-04-02T12:31:00.002-05:00

There were very few toys that I got as a
kid growing up. I remember my mom would take
our christmas that was sent from my
grandmother to me and my brothers and she
would sell it for beer. But there was one
particular toy that I really liked and I
would walk down the block with that toy
everyday and that was a chinese yoyo. We did not have hardly any toys
with sound or anything so when we got stuff
that was so small we really enjoyed it and
took care of it.

Repeat words

2012-03-24T09:30:00.002-05:00

The art of actively listening means to be totally
engaged when someone is talking to you. When you
truly make an effort to understand others, they
appreciate it. Your relationships with them are
strengthened. Make sure you truly understand what
your friend tells you by repeating his words back
to him. You could start with, "I want to make
sure I understand what you're telling me." Express
your understanding of what he's saying and if it
isn't right, he'll correct you. Listen without
judging. Be fully present. Pay attention. Your
relationships will be stronger and happier as a
result of your effort.

Tolerant

When was the last time you tried to
understand a bias you hold toward
something or someone? If it's been a
while, now might be the right time to
revisit your beliefs. Growing up, many
people consciously absorb the biases of
their family members, friends. When you
let go of intolerant biases and recognize
and respect the beliefs of others, you are
practicing tolerance. Consider one or
more of the beliefs you still hold. Perhaps
your beloved grandmother told you that

Retreat

2012-03-20T13:52:00.002-05:00

Plan a little time off just for yourself
to do some inner reflection. The amount
of time is not as important as getting the
respite you need. Make your time away a
priority. It's a small amount of time just
for you to clear your head, gather your
thoughts and energy. Retreat to someplace
peaceful where you can relax and have a
break from the responsibilities of work
and family. Don't know of any great retreat
places? Then take a book and go to the
beach.

Relaxation

2012-03-20T13:46:00.002-05:00

Your bookshelves need dusting, the dishes
still stand in the sink, the floor needs
mopping, and you haven't even gotten
around to the laundry, but you need a
moment to deflect or discharge the worries
of the day. Take that time to indulge in
something that makes you feel peaceful and
relaxed.

Job

2012-03-19T13:12:00.001-05:00

I think it would be so great to get a
toys r us jobs.
Not only would you be able to meet new
people but everyone is a kid at heart who
would not love to work around toys all day
and get discounts for your own children
especially for the holidays. Just a thought
that popped into my head.

Gold

2012-03-19T13:08:00.002-05:00

I used to wear gold jewelry I never had
any silver now that it all I have. Don't
need my gold anymore and since we are in
need of money right now to catch up on our
bills I was looking into those buy gold
stores and I am really curious to know how
much money I could actually get? If I could
get around $1500 for all my gold I would
be so stoked.

Praise Yourself

2012-03-19T12:56:00.003-05:00

You praise your children, your friends,
your coworkers, and your spouse whenever
they accomplish something praiseworthy,
so why not give yourself a one-minute
praising for your own achievements? You're
not being a braggart or egotistical when
you acknowledge some wonderful task or
breakthrough you made during your day. You
undoubtedly work very hard and probably
accomplish much that no one but you recognize.
If you finally played a complicated piano
libretto all the way through or found an
ingenious way to increase the family
budget,tell yourself how wonderfully
brilliant and accomplished you are. Bask in
the glory of that moment. You deserve it.

Cultivate hope

2012-03-19T12:51:00.002-05:00

If something isn't going well in your
life your child becomes ill, a car
broadsides yours in the parking lot,
you overdraw your bank account, or the
taxi you are riding in on the way to
the most important meeting of your
life gets ensnarled in traffic, have
the hope that circumstances will shift
and the situation will improve or be
resolved. Find the courage to work
to change what isn't good right now.
Rather than allowing stress and anxiety
to fill you with worry and stress, try
to feel hopeful. It will be better for
you emotionally and physically.

Welding

2012-03-05T09:26:00.003-06:00

In my home town there is not to many
options regarding employment. My husband
is looking to get into a different career
field like welding. But from my understanding
you have to have welding supplies of your
own before getting hired with any company.
That would be okay if we had that kind of
money to spend on supplies for him.

Accounting

2012-03-05T09:22:00.002-06:00

I have a background in the medical field
but lately I have been doing some research
in possibly getting a background in the
accounting world. I always tell my daughter
to at least have two degrees so you have
one to fall back on. While doing my research
cpa raleigh nc have some really decent
careers and salary is far better than where
I live now. The possibilities.

Smile More

2012-02-28T10:43:00.003-06:00

Force yourself to smile. Try it, it's
not that difficult. Use your smile to
start a happiness epidemic. Smile at
everyone, everywhere. People are hard-
wired to respond to the facial expressions
they encounter. If you glower at someone
that person will return a frown, but your
smile will evoke a smile. You'll feel
happier too, because your body responds
to your smile, even if you are faking the
grin. So fake it until you genuinely
feel happy. Once you know it works, do
it often.

Migraines

2012-02-18T11:35:00.002-06:00

I was just doing some reading on things you could
do for migraines because I suffer from them so
bad that anything hurts, light, noise you name I
can not handle the pain. Neurostimulation for migraine
is something I think would benefit for a lot of
people and also give them so much relief to get
them through a day without migraines.

Riding

2012-02-18T11:30:00.002-06:00

I was raised in the country and the city growing
up, but I can say that you can never take the
country out of this women. Riding horses has
always been something that I love to do. I would
love to one day own two horses. It is a lot of
work but with my two daughters I think they would
really enjoy horses. I would have to of course get
them some english riding boots and
a cowgirl hat.

Furniture

2012-02-17T12:30:00.003-06:00

If you have been getting ready for some
spring cleaning around the house and some
redecorating you might want to check out
dining room furniture los angeles
they have some beautiful furniture. I always
said after about 3 years it's time to get new
furniture. I get bored looking at the same furniture
for to long.

Natural Furniture

2012-01-29T10:31:00.002-06:00

Just browsing the internet looking at furniture
I came across wood pergolas they are
beautiful pieces made by hand. I spend over 200
dollars on an entertainment center only to get
home and find out that it was press board which
long story short only lasted about 6 months. You
just can not move that kind of furniture around
alot without it falling apart. So now I am looking
for cost wise but durable and long lasting. I work
hard for my money and don't enjoy spending more than
what I need to.
