Easy Way to Raise Money for Schools

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Okay, I don’t usually do this, but this is a REALLY easy way for my kid’s school to raise money, and you barely have to do a thing. Also, if you tell me you did it, I promise I will never hit you up for fund raising ever, ever, ever again in the future. (Except grandparents and Aunt Lisa; y’all are locked in for the next fourteen years of fund raising crap.)

Basically, if you are a Georgia Natural Gas customer, they will donate five dollars a month to my kid’s school if you link your account number to that school. That’s a donation of sixty dollars a year. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO THE WEBSITE AND TYPE IN YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER. You can do this in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee, if that.

I will even give you the link. All you have to do is click. Easy peasy.

And of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that you can donate to your own local school. If funding helps schools, and school improvement helps property values, then it seems to be a no-brainer.

Thanks!

Tiller Tonight

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

“Mama? See that shadow over there? By my CD player? It looks like Darth Vader.”

Geez. Way to creep me out, Tills. Wait till I am under my covers before you say stuff like that.

This Time Six Years Ago

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

I was at the Ob’s office, waiting to get on the list to check into Northside for an induction. I finally knew that I was going to the hospital and I would be able to see my baby in the next 24 to 48 hours. I was nervous, happy, relieved, and scared shitless.

Not half as scared as I should have been.

I had to go home and wait for the call that they were ready for me. We went in that night. We slept in a room at the hospital and they induced me the next morning.

I didn’t have any earthly idea how much my life was about to change, drastically and irrevocably. Forever.

R.I.P. John Hughes

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Not much to say that hasn’t already been said all over the internet. But this guy really got what it was like to be a teenager, and he made all the horrible stuff that goes along with the teen years seem interesting, and funny, and like it was normal. He got us.

If you haven’t read it, this is pretty sweet, a blog post about a girl who exchanged letters with John Hughes for a couple of years.

I’m off to the lake for the weekend, but I could see myself watching a John Hughes film or two this weekend.

Full Sturgeon Moon

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

It’s tonight! I love a full moon. I love hearing about the origins of their names. I sometimes feel like we are so far removed from the world around us that we don’t even notice these miraculous feats of nature, the cycles that come and go. It makes me sad. I miss them all the time, but like it when I take the time to reflect on them.

I will be taking a few minutes tonight to go out and look at the moon tonight. Hope you will too.

Full Sturgeon Moon – August The fishing tribes are given credit for the naming of this Moon, since sturgeon, a large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water, were most readily caught during this month. A few tribes knew it as the Full Red Moon because, as the Moon rises, it appears reddish through any sultry haze. It was also called the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon. – From The Farmer’s Almanac

Cool picture of a Full Sturgeon Moon.

WAHM Perks

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

So, I bitch a lot about staying at home with my kids. It is exhausting being a stay-at-home mom, and even more difficult when you work from home. I don’t work a ton of hours, but I do some freelance Technical Writing, editing, etc. Just a little something to keep me current, and to bring in a little extra dough.

Sometimes, though, I am reminded of how lucky I am, even though I don’t make a ton of money, and it usually takes me twice as long to do things as it would if I had no kids “helping me.”

Like this morning, for instance. I was editing a ColdFusion test, and decided to take a break. When I say, “decided” i mean that the kids came upstairs and starting trying to kill each other, and I thought I should distract them. I had just the thing.
PJs, Paper Planes
Prince, Princess, Kandinsky Ripoff
I need to remind myself every so often that the Work-at-Home-Mom (WAHM) job description includes such awesome perks as:

  • Working in PJs until lunchtime
  • Opportunity to expand knowledge of paper airplane design, engineering, and manufacture
  • Occasional payment in Art

    • Not too bad.

    A Place To Call One’s Own

    Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

    I love, love, love this website. What a cool idea! It also makes me jealous of all of these folks with designated work spaces.

    I want the coffee table book. Fascinating.

    I need me a Lady’s sitting room. A parlour. A library. An office. Whatever you call it. A place of my own, to shut the door and lock out the world.

    Want.

    What? No Dixie Cups??

    Monday, July 27th, 2009

    Another sign that we made the right choice when we picked a new neighborhood . . . we stopped by a real live lemonade stand on the way back from our picnic at the park. Two freckle-faced red-headed kids were running it. They even said, “Yes, M’am” and “You’re welcome.” When questioned on what they would do with the funds, they said they were “saving for college.”

    Are you kidding me?!

    Rollie was like, “I’d buy hot wheels!”

    Oh, and the going rate for a pink lemonade, in about a 6 oz cup, is fifty cents. They even put a slice of lemon on the edge of the cup. I am so not kidding.

    What? No Dixie Cups for ten cents? I kinda miss the Dixie cup.

    In case you are in the area and want to help out the enterprising young chaps, they are located between the park and my house.

    Pretty Sure Todd Needs This

    Sunday, June 21st, 2009

    I know it’s Father’s Day, and the dad’s are supposed to get grilling sets, and fishing poles and things with electrical cords. But what Todd really needs is this little guy:
