So I got a light up Transformers back pack for Ellison with a matching lunchbox. Its what he wanted for school. Funny thing is, he has never seen the transformers. Whatever! 
I spent the day on the phone talking to school administrators and the finance guy. I had requested a particular teacher for Ellison and that request was not granted. They said because that they...

No problem. Thanks for letting me know. I'm thrilled that you'll have Ellison back soon. Try me when you casn. According to my weekend schedule, the later in the evening NY time, the better.

He'll do excellent.
***long deep sigh***
At least Ellison will be home a week from today. I hope we get to go to legoland. I really need to get away with my child. I really need to.

It is a tattoo I'm thinking about. It is a rejection of the anonymous "they" that people use. As in "they say . . . "
But the more I think about it, the sillier it seems

How've you been?
Just a day at home. I've been trying to figure out how to save money on and pay off debts. This is what I am doing so far.
1. Switching car insurance saves $48 every six months. Haven't given up on finding cheaper!
2. Switch phone and internet = $13 month savings.
3. Paying off a credit card = $75 to 150 monthly plus potential...

I don't know how Az is; but here in Maine when AAA droped
the state I had to get regular car ins. My rate tripled! I went
for $400 a year to $1200. Now that they are carrying Me again
I'm back to under $500 a year. So look into joining AAA or
'dundundunnn' AARP they do offer good deals on car ins.
Many Credit Unions also have breaks on ins. but not to
the extent AAA does.
It's a simple budget trick but it works for me.
Break all of your regular bills into weekly segments,
then add the segments together either in the register,
notebook, or a ledger.
ex. a $400 payment every 6months= 24weeks @ $16.66/wk
$500 a month= 4weeks @ $125/wk
Don't forget to budget some me $$$ and an emergency fund.
Join a food co-op to save some grocery $.
Good luck

I'm not sure if you're back. I hope you got the voicemail I left you. I'd love to speak with you when you have the time. I want to hear all about your trip.

I loved talking with you the other day. There's something positive going on that I'd love to share with you. You can check my blog if you have a chance. Talk to you soon.
I know I know, everybody is talking about the death of Micheal Jackson. I seem to be fixated on it. All I have listened to is his old music and watch videos. I grew up with him. I was born in 1970 in the Bronx New York. He was probably my favorite singer from the time I was a baby until I went to College....

Have fun in Fl.
Maybe the seperation anxity won't be so bad,
now that you got through his X-mas trip.
Make sure to budget yourself a Spa day while
Ellison's off on his excursion.

It is a little easier for me; in that she's with her
Mother from Sunday eve until Fri afternoon/eve.
She gets a weekend with her Mom once a month or
so.
Now that I have too much time on my hands, it has been
getting easier to go out for an evening. Yes I'm a cheap
'date' I drink either coffee or water. And being able to
get most of the house keeping done during the week, I
can focus more on the fun things with her.

My five year old is staring to tell jokes. Its pretty funny to watch him crack himself up. Maybe I'll upload a video of him telling his favorites...
Q. Why did the cookie go to the doctor?
A..Because he felt crummy!
Q.. How do you wake up Lady Gaga?
A. Pokerface!

Your five year old is already telling better jokes than some of my friends. A video would be great - I'll have them watch it

I have a new TV and VCR/DVD player. I have a few TV shows that I like to record while I am at work during the day. As you all know, the digital switch just went through. As a result I can't program my recorder. I was recording on channel 9 which is now 9-1. I tried and I can't program channel 9-1 into...

Let's try to talk this week.

I'm glad to hear that your recorder reprogramming met with success! You are an inspiration! Just knowing that things of that sort are actually possible - I might have to finally try to program my cell phone

Ellison is the cutest little boy. From what I gather, he's such a good kid too. That's because he has an awesome mom.
I know how difficult being a nurse is. I'm friends with two other nurses here. All of you have written about similar experiences. I think nurses are true heroes.
Try to get some rest and do some of the things that give you pleasre. I hope you're able to return to work refreshed and energized.
