Did much cleaning in the office. There is so much …

Did much cleaning in the office. There is so much more to do. Did not find the car title. Did find some of the other paperwork. Took the girls to the warehouse with all the girlscout cookies then helped them set up to sell cookies in the mall. They could do really well! Now I’m home with the baby. At least one of the two of us needs a nap.

Still distraught that I’m going to be spending so much time out of town and away from the family. Equally worried that I don’t have the finances to pull off this trip.

A New Day! Let’s start the day off with a PayPa…

A New Day!

Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning

Exhausted from these past few days but relieved to have one stressor gone. Next stressor is Girl Scout cookie sales and employment.

The bank account is below $200. I’ve accepted a 3 week job that is onsite 3 hours from home. Of course, we all know that means they’ll want it to be much longer. I am hoping that once it starts I can turn it into remote work. The first check won’t come until after the 16th of the month. Paying for food, tags ($35) for the car, gas and hotel will be a challenge.

I put myself in this situation. I know how to get business into this house without having to travel 3 hours. I just am not doing it!

Woke at 5 then again at 6. Got the kids up by 6:15 and began putting more paint on the racer. I wanted to add another coat of yellow but didn’t have time. Quized Noah on spelling as I worked. Bus driver called to say the bus broke down in the yard so after carpool I drove Tommy to school. Then returned to work all morning on pinewood derby painting. Now I’m preping axles and realize I need to run an errand to complete this project. Weight in at 5:15pm. Yikes!

So many viruses!


War of the worms is a wonderful explanation for why so many of us have so many emails generated by worms such as Bagle.I, Bagle.J, Bagle.F, Bagle.G, Bagle.H, Netsky.C, Netsky.C and MyDoom.F, MyDoom.G.


“We suspect that several virus authors – or factions of virus authors – are competing in creating the most successfully spreading worm. So far we see three different groups or persons…”

To help protect yourself from viruses, worms and hoaxes visit http://www.sarc.com/ to confirm all warnings before ever forwarding a message onto other people; frequently the threat of a virus or a virus hoax generates more email than the actual virus.

Here is a nice list of antivirus solutions. I cannot vouch for how current or accurate the information is.

I personally use Norton Antivirus (be aware they have many different versions: pro, corp, etc) and backit up with TrendMicro’s online scanner. I also recommend McAfee, Doctor Solomon(appears to be McAfee now) and I have heard great things about f-prot.
