Frustration

What frustrates you?
I get frustrated by organizations that don't return your calls. People that refuse to do their jobs to the best of their ability. People who appear to be unhappy even when they are happy. What is up with that? My children frustrate me at times and I know I frustrate them. Cashiers that don't look at you when they are ringing up your items. How rude!
You know what else is frustrating.....when no one comments on my blog. How do other people get their blog commented on? Hmmmmm.

Money Crisis

My school district has just made huge budget cuts. I know other businesses are being impacted, as well. I want to use this time to teach my own children the value of a dollar. The baby boomer generation and genxers don't know whatit is to want or need or to go without. We are a privileged generation. With the cuts, my family will have to eliminate eating out, going to the movies, renting videos or games and extras that we have enjoyed. I hope we will grow our family bonds by spending time together, findng other ways to be entertained and rely on one another instead of money or the material things it provides. Having less money certainly gives me something to think about.
