Car Insurance

I decided to change my car insurance company to a new one. The old one kept adding new fees for this and that, and it really started to make me angry. I found cheap liability insurance and they promised no additional or hidden fees. That made me really happy. I had previously kept the same company for a really long time, but lately every I turned around, I was getting a bill for additional fees etc. That is something you shouldn’t have to deal with when you buy car insurance. I haven’t had any accidents or anything like that to make my payments go up, so it was just infuriating to have them do that.

Now that I found a better company that has better prices as well, I will not have to deal with anything like that again. My car is my baby and I want her insured, but I don’t want it to put me in the poor house doing it either. I needed to do this before I take my annual road trip when we go on vacation. I plan on driving to Florida and going to Disney with the kids, so it was a definite necessity. Add to that the money I will save on it can go towards our vacation.

We are so very excited to be able to go to Disney this year. Usually we go down to the beach, but now that the kids are all old enough to really enjoy Disney, we just have to go. I cannot wait until we get there. I haven’t told the kids where we are going. They think we are going to the beach and we are going to make sure we arrive in the middle of the night, so that the next morning when we get up we can really surprise them. It is going to be so much fun.

Road trip

I am going on a road trip to Memphis with my mom to see Graceland. I have always loved Elvis since I was a little kid growing up. I listened to his music, (mostly Christmas Carols) with my mom because he was her favorite when she was growing up. She told me all the stories about him and we watched all of his movies. It is something that we could enjoy together as mother/daughters should.

I have my own rituals with my daughter that we do. We watch the Grease, Dirty Dancing and other movies of the like, that I grew up with. One day we will have a road trip to see something neat like this. My daughter is going with us on this trip as well, but the boys will stay with dad for the weekend. They get to have some grandpa time and go fishing. All in all, it should be great for the whole family.

So much to do

There is always so much to do as the holidays begin to arrive. Starting with Halloween, there is decorations to go up and then back down. Toss some stuff out for Thanksgiving and bring it down as well. Then of course the major decorating for Christmas immediately following Thanksgiving. Lights to put up, picking the perfect tree and decorating it. This is a lot of work. In between each one, as you remove decoration, there is the cleaning process as well. By the time New Years gets here, I am usually exhausted. Then again, so is everyone else I know.

Housing

There are so many people having a hard time right now. The economy has made it difficult for many people to even afford to have a home. Low income housing can help families maintain their independence. I have a few family members who have recently needed to apply for this service. Losing your home can be devastating to everyone involved, especially for children. With low income housing, a family can feel safe and secure again.

No matter where you live, there is a program to help with housing. The minimum amount of income is generally around forty thousand a year, but can fluctuate depending on region. Low income housing can be found in every county, in every state.  Finding the information for it is not difficult at all. The Housing Authority is where you go to apply and they will give you all of the information that you can possibly need. The application process is relatively simple as well. I urge anyone who is in need of housing, to go see them for the assistance they need.

Family and friends

I have been a bit of a loner lately. I haven’t been talking to my family and friends like I usually do and I am surprise they haven’t said anything about it. I guess all the trouble I have had lately just sent me inside of myself a bit and I didn’t want to burden them with my troubles. I know that everyone is having a rough time right now. The economy is really bad right now.

I have never seen things stay this bad for so long and it has me worried. I know that I am not alone in that, and I hope that with the oncoming new year things will get better all around. I am sure that they will. Hard work and determination will take you as far as you want to go.
