Are you on the edge of your seat?

Wondering whether Congress will reach a compromise on this debt ceiling debacle? I've been following some tweets on Twitter....and what a divided nation we are! When you have two sides so completely entrenched in their beliefs and values, and neither side has full control of the legislative process....there has to be compromise. I do wish it included spending cuts and a balanced budget amendment, but I guess we'll have to take what we can get.

No major news on my home front. I am stressed to the max for some reason today. Lots of work deadlines approaching. My daughter has her team tryouts tomorrow, and that seems to be more stressful for the moms than it is for the girls. Have any of you watched Dance Moms? I will say I am hooked on that show....probably because it makes me and my circle of Dance Moms seem so normal and down-to-earth. Kind of like watching Hoarders? Then you can look away from the messes since your own house is a thousand times better than the ones on that show! LOL

OK....lots to do. Better get to it. I've even got my fingers crossed for some overtime the next couple of weeks. That would certainly help the August budget! Send good thoughts for lots of energy and no child care issues....Momma needs to work!

  1. LOL, so true about "Hoarders." I have an untidy house, but watching that show makes us feel like Martha Stewart by comparison.

  5. I have a funny anecdote for you. On another blog, someone posted the meanest comment about how the blog-owner's mistakes were entertaining, and used as a lesson of how never to manage one's finances. It was signed "In Debt." I was taken aback, thinking, "I've never heard her so mean-spirited. Does she say the same about me? That my blog is a 'how-not-to-manage-money' blog?" (which of course it is, but it's just nicer not to say so, LOL!) Anyway, after clicking through I realized it was a totally different "In Debt" signing the post. HA!
