Trying Something New Starting Tomorrow

Sandy @velvet53 (22534) • Palisade, Colorado 21 Apr 13

I like to keep track of how I am doing on each of my sites but didn't really have a solid plan. I think I have came up with something that will work. Each day when I go to a site for the first time for the day I will write my...

Djbrat I wish you lots of lucky, I think that is a good plan. I do the same with all the sites I work with too. I write my stats first thing in the morning, and then I don't check them again until the next morning. This way I don't have to keep checking multiple...

Sandy @velvet53 (22534) • Palisade, Colorado 21 Apr 13

Even though I have been up and at it for over three hours, I still feel like I just got up. That makes for a long day. I did take time out and went for a short walk and that didn't help. Solution:deal with it. Well I am not...

Djbrat I feel the same way today too. I've up for about 3 hours and I'm not fully awake yet or just don't "feel" like I'm fully awake. It especially sucks because I have a lot of work to do today and my brain cells aren't cooperating.

qianlizhifeng @qianlizhifeng (468) • China 17 Apr 13

Djbrat We all are so busy with our lives that it's easy to forget about the simple pleasures. I'm usually hard at work when the sun in rising in the morning. But I do take several breaks to step outside (take my puppy out for her bathroom break) and let the sunshine...

cherigucchi @cherigucchi (14876) • Philippines 17 Apr 13

Kids are on vacation and of course i am as well. The whole day we spent talking and telling stories with each other. They asked me to join with them in the swimming pool and so i did. We had snacks and told them a lot of stories...

Djbrat My son and daughter don't live with me so the time that I do see them, it's so very precious. My son is 10 years old and he spends the weekends with me, and sometimes through the week. My daughter lives in a different state (long story) so I stay in touch with...

cherigucchi @cherigucchi (14876) • Philippines 16 Apr 13

Just got my bills already for the water and electricity. i am not surprised anymore that our consumptions are higher than the previous months. Those months, kids were spending most of their time at school. The house seemed to be...

Djbrat Yes, I can see how the cost of living would be higher. I've noticed when the kids are home, grocery bills go up obviously but also entertainment cost. Since the kids are out of school and home more, we like to spend more family time going out and doing things....

Djbrat I'm a very emotional person, I can be there for my friends and family, but can't really shut off my feelings. If they are crying, I cry with them. I do my best to comfort them by feeling their emotions and giving support. So, to answer your question, no I...

Djbrat It's very understandable to feel depressed when things aren't going exactly how we want. I'm so sorry to hear about your dog and your daughter's horse. We all need a grieving period to put things back into perspective. I hope you start feeling better soon. ?

Djbrat I can totally understand the writer's block and the lack of motivation. Some days I just love writing all day and it seems too good to be true, and sometimes I just don't want to think. Doing research on a subject is fun when you're really interested in...

Djbrat When I was married to my ex-husband and we had 5 girls in the house, yes!! They fought over the dumbest things. They would really get on my nerves at times that I thought I was going to lose my mind.

Will you smack that salesgirl?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 30 May 08

There seems to be an over-saturation of sales people lately. You either be positive and attribute it to the booming economy or be negative and blame it on the lousy job opportunities available. But the fact remains that every time...

Do you read the rest of the book if you don't like the first part of the book?

Porcospino @Porcospino (31366) • Denmark 21 May 12

Djbrat Sometimes I'll keep reading and sometimes I'll just put it away and think maybe I'll read it at a later date. It really depends is what kind of mood I'm in. I'm funny that way with books.

Djbrat If you both feel that it would work financially and he is up for it, I say why not? It may turn out that you both like the new arrangements. Later if your husband wants to go back to work, you both can discuss it then. Good luck to you guys.

Djbrat I reuse grocery bags too as trash can liners. I use the grocery bags to clean out my cat box. There are so many uses for them, I don't understand why anyone would just toss them out. Thanks for this... :o)
