I can’t stress enough in these hard economic times about looking at all your options. Sometimes the best thing to do is to decide to enter a new career field and an online university is a good choice for busy moms and dads. Online universities offer flexibility that other universities do not.
Western Governors University (WGU) is one university that offers an online degree. WGU currently serves over 17,000 in 50 states and was founded by 19 governors of U.S. States. WGU is fully accreddidated. Because it is a non-profit university, it is also affordable.
WGU offers an online business degree as well as degrees in teaching, RN to BSN, information technology and other health professions. MSNBC recently reviewed WGU:
I was finally able to have my son’s 7th birthday party combined with my daughter’s 16th! After all the good food, I am definitely on the lookout for diets that work and work quickly! Our menu consisted of baked ziti and chicken parm provided by my husband’s parents, salmon, green beans and potatoes catered by our friend Scott, and a yummy chocolate layer cake and blueberry cheesecake made by another friend.
My three children are the joy of my life. Unfortunately, having babies also takes a toll on your body. Many women find, years after giving birth, that they are faced with using incontinence products and while today there are many good products available, it can still be embarrassing to use these products. A recently saw a news article, in which the doctor explain that while incontinence may be common, it should never be treated as normal. Here is that short clip:

I am glad that neither I, nor my husband, has had to use disability insurance for an injury. We have a friend right now who is trying to claim social security disability for injuries that happened at the workplace. His injuries are real. Unfortunately, there are too many people who like to claim fake workplace injuries in order to collect disability insurance or social security. These people make it difficult for the honest people who need to collect.
We could solve 99% of the problems in the world, if everyone was just honest!
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was on of the choices my daughter had for her 10th grade lit class so I chose to read it as well. The story is about two women, both African American, and the choices that they make in a white dominated society (the novel was published in 1929). One woman chooses to pass as white, the other (who could also pass)is deeply involved in Harlem society. The novel raises questions about fitting in and pretending to be something that you are not.
So after scrubbing my ceramic tiles in the kitchen today, I had to cancel my son’s birthday party anyway. There is supposed to be a snow storm headed our way and I had to make the decision to cancel before I get stuck with food that won’t be eaten. Hopefully, next weekend will be good. Unfortunately, my little boy is a tad bit disappointment. Maybe we will go see a movie to cheer him up!
My son loves Lego Sets but he always wants me to build them for him. I wish putting laptop memory in my laptop was as fun or easy as working with my son and his Legos, but I guess I will have to just buckle down and stop building and fix my laptop instead.
Lego is offering a free two year subscription to their Lego Club Jr. Magazine (for kids 6 and under). Just click here to sign up. You just need to give your name and address and its that easy!
In what profession can you not do your job and still make over $100,000? It seems that a New York City teacher has not been teaching for more than two years and is still collecting a salary:
A Queens teacher who collects a $100,000 salary for doing nothing spends time in a Department of Education “rubber room” working on his law practice and managing 12 real-estate properties worth an estimated $7.8 million, The Post found.
Alan Rosenfeld hasn’t set foot in a classroom for nearly a decade since he was accused in 2001 of making lewd comments to junior-high girls and “staring at their butts,” yet the department still pays him handsomely for sitting on his own butt seven hours a day.
Because Rosenfeld is protected by a Union contract, he can’t be fired, receives his full pay and benefits and can do as he pleases. If you don’t think the system needs reform, think again.
The funny thing about security cameras, they record anything. Many a stupid criminal has been found after not realizing that their crime was caught on tape. Sometimes, however, there are fun things that security cameras catch. This guy gives the world something to smile about. (I would have embedded the video, but couldn’t.)
