The Sun has Come Out
by Helena - 2006-09-10
It was predicted to rain but it now looks clear. It would not matter because I am back on track.
I am getting ready to go to church with Leigh. I am not sure when my break through came, but I need to give thanks. Some say fake it until you make it. The problem is that I have never been really good at that. I not only where my heart on my sleeve but its in my eyes. It colors my cheeks. I have always had to feel good about circumstances to act like it. Needless to say I suck at office politics.
Well, all I know is I wake up each morning not hating life. I even survived last weekends shared weekend without the need to stab anyone. Thank you God for letting me be able to deal.

How much should I budget for a trip?
by Travel Mama
You do not want to spend all of your money getting there. You may want to eat as well.
When planning a family trip or a getaway for just you and the girls, you have to consider the complete budget. More than likely you will be eating out for all three meals. You may want to use a cab to go certain places as opposed to using the rental car, etc. I suggest you budget as if you splurge every night while on this trip. That way you will be prepared for the worst case costs.
You can get a good estimate for costs based on the per diem (the daily expenses - food gas and shelter).
www.state.gov/www/perdiems/
The U.S. State Department Bureau of Administration Office of Allowances, Foreign Per Diem Rates web page. These per diem rates are the per day maximum amounts the U.S. Government would reimburse it’s employees or contractors during travel. These amounts will help give you an idea on the amount that you’ll need to budget for your trip. The site lists maximum rates for many foreign cities, in addition to, some cities in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and other possessions of the U.S. The rates are divided into sections for lodgings, meals and incidentals, and total amount. The amounts aren’t meant to cover luxury travel, but they should cover a comfortable mid-range stay. You can select a month and year for which to search for foreign per diem rates. You should consult the most recent months and the last figures stated for the time of year you will be visiting to account for high and low season price variations. Search the web and you can typically find the per diem for cities in the US.

How Are They Teaching Your Kids?
by Hustle & Flow
We take the time to review test scores and report cards. Have you reviewed your child's curriculum?
Do you know how they are trying to teach your child? Sometimes poor grades may be a symptom of a more deadly disease. You are the best judge of how your child learns. If you feel that it is not addressing their needs do something.
For example many public schools still teach the site method instead of phonetics. If this is your situation, buy the phonics game, search the internet for phonics aids. Do not let the system label your child when you can help them.

When was the last time you took the time to treat yourself?
Are you too busy being Super MOM to give yourself some TLC. Before the month is out, complete the following assignment.
1. Pick a 24 hour period to be devoted to completely to you.
2. Arrange for 24 hour daycare for that date: Call up your Mom or a trusted in-law and ship those dear children out for your 24 hour period.
3. Book a hair, nail and manicure appointment. Many spas can do all three at once. You want the time for relaxing but we do not want to spend your 24 in the salon. Time it so that you will have enough time to change and be ready for an evening outing.
4. Go into your closet and pick out two outfits: one that makes you feel special and one that is comfortable but chic for running around. Have these out fits ready for your 24.
5. Make reservations for dinner for one or two. Two if you have handy a great conversationalist spouse or significant other, however this is your night. You can treat yourself.

10. Have a wonderful meal, savoring the visual appetizers of your selected restaurants (the colors, wall art, ambiance, the plating of the food, etc.) as much as the meal. Make the meal last bite by bite taking an unhurried pace. You are not rushing off to a meeting or late to pick up kids. You look great. Take your time. Enjoy a multiple course meal. Let the room enjoy the picture of an unhurried, self reliant, jubilant female.
11. Have dessert.
12. Go home and curl up with your favorite movie.
