I’ve recently become single again. My boyfriend and I broke up last month, and he has moved out of the house we were renting. It was actually my house originally, then he moved in, and now it is just going back to being my house. I can totally afford the rent without him, so I see no reason to move.

The thing is, though, I had gotten really use to living with a man, and I guess I began to feel a sense of security from knowing he was there. I have thought about moving to an apartment because someone that feel safer with people all around, but I really do love my little house here. I’ve been here almost 4 years. I think I’m going to look into getting Security choice installed.

That would give me the peace of mind I’m missing now that he is gone. It’s funny; that is the main thing I miss about him. The breakup was a good decision for both of us, and it was a mutual decision.

I realized not too long ago that I’ve got the Power to Choose Seabrook electricity providers and that prompted me to review all my other utilities and see where I could be saving money. I felt like I was just bleeding funds that I didn’t need to be and ever since then I’ve been on the hunt to cut my costs where I can.

I know it doesn’t sound like a big deal but saving $20 a month can mean a big difference if I find a few places to do it – that’s a vacation or all of my hair cut costs for a year! Anyway, it’s become sort of a game for me to find new ways to save money around the house. My friend thinks I’ve lost it but I think he DOES enjoy all the extra dough in the savings account each month. I just can’t imagine why we were throwing away money for so long but I feel better now that we’re on top of our finances.

Call me a bad parent but sometimes I just have to use my direct tv loveland to get a break. My kids are not allowed to watch a lot of television. I try to make sure they spend their free time playing outside when the weather is nice or playing with their toys when the weather is not. Not that they even have that much free time with school, homework, sports and extracurricular activities. However, every once in a while there is that odd afternoon or evening when nothing will hold their attention.

It’s too hot outside, the toys are all boring and their siblings just get on their nerves. I can only do so much to entertain and come dinner time I need for them to be distracted and not under foot. That’s when I take advantage of stations like TV Land where I can normally find something that isn’t too hokey for their taste nor too offensive for their age or me. Hopefully it isn’t too bad for their little brains to watch a little television. After all it IS good for my sanity!

Moving is something that I’ve actually found fun and I should hope so since I’ve moved 7 times in the past 10 years! I finally found the place though that I think is the place I’m going to stay because it’s the perfect size and it’s decorated to a T since I bought it as a model home.

I went online to look up Direct tv in bloomington in to find out more about the cable options and I am thinking about calling someone on Monday to find out about a security system. I love having my own place and not having roommates and even in this terrible market I’ve made a pretty penny buying a new place every year or so. I love having guests but I’m even happier when they leave because honestly, I just like my space, is that so wrong?

Check back with me in a year and see if I’ve got the moving bug again – I would say chances are fifty fifty that I’ll have changed my mind about it by then!

My neighborhood is usually pretty safe, but I wanted to make sure our house was fully protected since this is Tim’s first summer staying at home by himself. He’s a great kid but I figured, why put him in any more danger than he has to be? I talked to the people at Atlanta Home Security about an appropriate alarm system and I’ve also spoken with Tim really extensively about what to do in the case of an emergency, exactly who to open the door for and when he is allowed to leave the house.

It’s going to be a really trying summer for my nerves, I’m sure, but this is definitely the next step in Tim becoming more of an independent young man, and my husband and I have discussed it extensively. Who knows what will happen by the end of the summer but for now, Tim seems excited about the whole situation and so are we – ask me again how I feel about it all in two months!
