yeah that might be an idea.. thanks...

With how much you love children, I almost think you should start an at-home daycare of your own!

My step mom did it a few years back, and she didn't even put much money into the advertising...just a sign outside our front door, an ad in the newspaper and our house was always hopping with age 4-13 kids running around giggling and playing.

I have been searching for jobs in Craigslist and I came upon this one... :lol:

The Hair Angels Lice Removal Service is looking for independent contractors based in the San Gabriel Valley, to remove head lice and eggs from infected individuals, a chemical-free process. Service is provided in private homes. Qualified candidates must have their own car, a valid driver's license and insurance. Candidates must have great eyesight, be honest, friendly, and great with children. Squeamish people need not apply. A good sense of humor is also a plus!

A background check is required, and references will also be checked. All applicants must include where they live, and their days and hours of availability. This is generally inconsistent work, ranging from 2 – 15 hours a week. Driving is essential to this job, the further you are willing to drive, the more you will work. Qualified applicants will be trained on site.

Rawr, I think my fridge is on its way out. I woke up this morning and nothing is cold like it should be... I cranked it up, we'll see if things cool down. Otherwise I guess we'll need to get a new one! I'd rather buy some more furniture but a fridge is important...

Marilyn- Ewww!! Who would want to do that?! Gross. :lol:

Hmm, I was at Micheals earlier. The one closest to us doesn't seem to have too many books.

I'll have to take a look again later. I need something to keep me busy that doesnt' cost very much money!

Try Barnes and Noble online. I did a quick search and found some starter books for under $20 with free shipping. :)

http://www.retailmenot.com/ great site for ONLINE coupons

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Ouch Carla.

Hope it's as painless as possible. =(

Montreal Interviewer: "What do you have in common with each other?"

Peachey: "We're REALLY weird."

Montreal Interviewer (incredulously to me): "Do you agree with that?"

<I think back to several days before the interview. Driving through the country, passing a field with cows...>

Peachey: "MOOOO! MOOOOO! Does this make me weird?"

Me: "No, well yes. Here, let me roll down the windows so they can hear you better!"

Peachey: "MOOOOO!!!!"

<back to interview>

Me: "Yes, yes I do."
