My mother gave me a GPS system for my car for Christmas last year. At first I wasn’t sure I wanted it but then the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. See, I work late at night some nights and my mother worries about me. She knows that all she has to do is go to her computer and she can see if my car is still at work, if I’m on the way home or if something is wrong because I’m not where I should be. That’s the part I wasn’t too sure about but I know Mom isn’t trying to check up on me, she’s just trying to watch out for me.

It came in handy last week too. I was on my way home about 11 pm and my cell phone was dead and I didn’t realize it. I got a flat tire. Mom knew I would be leaving about then and was watching me and saw that I had stopped. She sent her husband to me and I was never so glad to see someone in my life. He fixed my flat and we got home safely, thank goodness. I don’t go anywhere without it now.

Credit cards??

I need a credit card. I thought I could get by without one and have for years but now it’s time to start looking for the right card for my needs. There are so many out there that it’s hard to know which one is the right one for you. I found all the information I needed at cardhub.com. A friend told me they checked into them before they got their card. It has reviews of cards for gas companies, airlines, and any other card you see advertised on TV or see other places too. With their help, I’m sure I’ll get the right card for me.

Home needs improvement

I rent a house from my grandmother. I couldn’t afford a place of my own if my grandmother didn’t own it, between gas rising every day and what it costs to feed three kids, I would have to live with my mother but my grandmother loves me and knows I need some independence. She rents to me real cheep so when I have some extra money saved, I do a little home improvement here and there. I bought some really nice wallpaper online cheap and it looks great in the bathroom. It’s amazing at the home improvement sites you can find to help you make your house look great and save money too.

Military Service

My children’s father is in the military. Sure I worry about him but at the same time, I am very proud to tell anyone that he is serving our country. We may not have a perfect country but our country is seeing to it that his children are taken care of while he serves and for that, I appreciate everything that not only he is doing but what our country is doing for their service people.

Sometimes it’s not nearly enough to thank them for their what they are missing out on like seeing their children grow up but they knew this when they went in and we as a nation should respect them and their families and thank each and every one we know.

I work retail

I work for a large chain retail store and go to college on the computer at night. I have to build a better life for myself and these children. It’s tough being a single Mom but its better alone with them than in a lousy relationship. My mother helps watch the kids when I work so that’s a big help. Sometimes I get lonely but how can that happen with a bed full of children, a computer and my beagle all at one time? 😉

Hello world!

Welcome to my very own blog. This is where I can talk about me and my kids, the rest of my family and friends, too.

Since I’m introducing myself, I should probably tell you that I had my first child when I was just 16 years old. His father was killed in a motorcycle accident 5 months before he was born. I was a child myself, no Daddy for my son and I guess I sort of lost it. I let my mother adopt him and I see now that it was the right thing to do. He’s much better off. My mother remarried and has a good marriage. Her new husband has been there from the start for my son and is the only Daddy he knows so that’s good. I lost my last child when he was born so now it’s just me and three.
