phoenix25 Well yeah, I would consider that excessive. If you are going out 3 or 4 times a week with the girls and leaving your kid at home with your boyfriend, husband, or someone else. There is a big difference between getting a healthy amount of adult time away from...

phoenix25 Amen. I am a stay at home mom currently (possibly going to back to work since hubby lost his job). I have spent practically every waking moment with my 5-year-old son for about the last year and a half. Let me tell you...I could really use a night out. It...

Have you noticed how hard it is to get moving boxes for free these days? I've gone to all of my local stores and asked for boxes, but they all say the same thing, that they break their boxes down in a compressor as soon as...

phoenix25 Oh yeah...and garbage bags are great for clothes. Poke a hole in the bottom of the trash bag and stick as many hangers from clothes in your closet through the hole and lay them in your trunk or in the moving truck.

Just a few weeks ago I was shipping a box of very late xmas gifts to my sister, who lives in another state. I usually go to the mail center near my house because it's only a mile away, but this time I had reason to be in the...

phoenix25 That's not entirely true. Some post offices will help you pack your stuff, provide packing peanuts, and tape a box for you.

I remember with my first son I ate grilled cheese and tomato soup everyday for months, sometimes twice a day. I also would wanted cheesecake with blueberries. My husband would run to Denny's to get me a slice. I also remember not...

phoenix25 I remember we ate out a lot when I was pregnant because I couldn't go near the kitchen sink. Just the smell of dishes in the sink or food in the kitchen was enough to turn me green.

The Stimulus Package was made to devalue the US Dollar. It amazes me at how ignorant most people are to politics. I think most people read an article out of the paper, watch a news story on TV or read Yahoo news and think they are...

phoenix25 Then why are we taking so many measures to separate ourselves from Mexico? Increased border security along the Mexico-US border is even included in the stimulus plan... Why would we be beefing up security along the Mexican border if we're headed towards a...

Have you and your partner ever gotten into a big fight just before bed time? Did you stay up to solve the problem and end the fight, or did you just go to bed mad? Hubby and I do not like to go to bed angry at each other,...

phoenix25 That's an even better reason to sleep on it, though. If you know you become irrational when you are tired, then you can do something to reduce the severity of fights in the future. Fighting when one or both people involved is irrational is counterproductive....

I'm sure that even the great cooks have something they just cannot cook. I'm a rather good cook myself, but there's 1 thing I've never been able to cook properly. Bacon! I know, some of you are probably laughing at me now. But...

I recently bought my daughter a new car seat. She outgrew her newborn one and this one can be rear facing as well as front facing and has a few other great things about it. I was all excited when I hooked it in the car following...

phoenix25 I used to have to do that with one of my son's car seats. Thankfully, he is in a booster seat now and I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Women are considered to be not as good as men when it comes to driving. Do you think it is true? I personally am a horrible driver and the dents in the family car are all made by me. My friends also call me a "dent-ist" because I...

phoenix25 Not all women drive like that. I don't like to do anything else while I am driving. I have never put makeup on while driving, either. I do that crap at home or don't do it at all. If I have my son in the car, driving is especially the priority. If something is...

phoenix25 As long as there is money to be made off of healthcare for the elderly and nursing homes and hospices for the elderly, you needn't worry about people trying to "kill off" elderly people.

I love to eat, but I don't know how to cook. I wish I did though, so I could make my favorite food and share it with others. I guess I'm scared of trying because growing up, I was always told about kitchen accidents and now I try...

Traditionally, the men provide for the family and it is the role of the women to take care of the home, the husband and the children. I was raised having that in mind. My mom handles the finances and my dad hands his salary to my...

phoenix25 It is definitely an art and takes practice. When me and my husband first got married, we didn't really keep track of what we spent and we would go over our account balance pretty often. Today, I am very vigilant about keeping track of everything. I use Quicken...
