Work At Home Family Talk Radio

My son is a senior in High School this year and every time I turn around there is another demand for money!  So where is the tree planted?  He recently blew the engine of his truck and it will cost $1200 for a new one.  His old truck which only needs a new radiator is sitting in the yard, but it’s not good enough.  Now we have prom coming up.  When I asked how much it was going to cost his reply was $500-$1000!  Did I miss something some where?  So being the horrible mother I am, I called the girlfriend who is very sweet and asked what the deal is.  She told me that nothing we set yet and that she had offered to pay for her ticket.  The tickets are $120 a person.  My GOD!!!  When I had my prom at the nicest hotel in Houston back in the stone age we barely paid anything and ZZ-Top even offered to play at our prom when the band we had backed out. 

I next called my daughter to see what the going cost for prom is back in Texas and after checking with a few friends said it should cost him between $250 and 300 depending on the flowers, the tux and if they are getting a limo?  A LIMO??? Ok, I’m old I admit it.  Now the fun begins how much do I give him?  How much can I make in the mean time?  I only need 9 more clients by the end of the month to make my goal.  When that comes through he will probably get $300 for prom and then we will give him money for his birthday to make up the shortage on the truck, but boy it just kills me to think what will happen when the Money Tree falls down!!!

Well, the taxes are done and filed.  Now we wait to see how quickly we will get the money back.  This past November, we started putting 10% of my husbands salary in a 401K and then we have an additional 3% going into retirement.  Now looking at the bills and our income, I need to really make a living.  I have played for a few months with my business, but must admit when I knew I was going into the hospital, I just kind of lost it.  Right now, my mind just seems to wonder and yet I have been told and do believe that this year life will become much better for our family.  

I just finished our budget with all the new figures and I do hope I will not fail the test of time.  So many times in the past I have thought long and hard about a business and then have let it fall to the wayside.  I refuse to do that this time.  How many times have we all been so close to the prize ring and then just dropped our hands?  Well I have had my surgery, I have atleast another week to be released by my doctor and I will make it all happen.  I will make my business and my passion prosper this year….  YOU just watch out world, I’ve come to town!!!

So have you thought about you new years resolution yet?  Will you give up eating?  Lose Weight? Be nicer to yourself?  Have you finally found the job of your dreams or the business that ends all business’.  What will make the new year better for you?  So many questions…. Most of the answers are within…  On the shows, I try to find exciting opportunities and excellent resources to help you make your life better.  Unfortunately, it is up to you to make the choices and the differences.  I can’t do it for you.  I personally have decided to make 2008 the best year of my life and all the years following it will be better than the one come.  I am changing my view of life and what I need to do to reach the success I desire….  Sandra Lynch is a wonderful example of making more of your life.  She not only has her own business, but found a way to help others with their taxes and desires to have a better and healthier life style.  Read her book it is well worth the time…

Housekeeping:  I heard from a former guest, who wanted to let you know that Jockey is offering its special to join for the month of January at $99.00 rather than the normal $199.  It’s a great company with great clothes.  They also have a sale going on with items they are retiring… Who knew.  Jockey also still has it’s Operation Comfey Pillow Project going.  for more information on either, just contact me.  If you are looking to lose weight this year, I have a special with Belly Buster Diet.  1 year all the weight you can lose + menus + weekly phone call , all for $130

I can’t believe how stupid I am.  Have you ever seen a qive me on the web?  Thought you were getting it for $1.97 and then found out later there was fine print somewhere and it cost you an additional $39.95 every month?  I just did!  I was on-line checking the bank  balance and realised I had really screwed up… I called to cancel and of course, they can do that, but they can’t reverse the charge.  They will let me excend my cut off date.  I really could just scream.

 If your looking for a way to make money this holiday season or just in general, I would humbley suggest you look around and do some research before cutting off your nose.  Take your time and see what really fits.  I have looked as so many companies over the last few weeks and have found some that interest me and others that I realy don’t care about, just take your time.  I’m not into scrapbooking, but I found a wonderful gal who has found a use for the products and uses them to personalize items for clients.  Go look at Nicole’s site and see for yourself and while your there look at her special project for the holiday season.  www.itchintoscrap.com

Enjoy the weather folks and keep warm.  It was a whole 7 degrees this morning up in Maine
