For Earth Day, my son brought home this check list called “Taking Care of Earth Every Day”. It’s basically a check list for children to help them learn to take better care of our planet. I thought it was a neat idea so I’m sharing it. Basically just make a little chart with the days of the week across the top. Along the left side you write different things that you can do to conserve energy or help reduce waste. Here is the given list:
1. Turned off the TV when I finish watching it.
2. Used both sides of my paper.
3. Helped recycle paper, cans, glass and plastic.
4. Didn’t leave the water running while brushing my teeth.
5. Picked up litter and threw it in the trash can.
Then there are 3 more spaces where you or your child can write your own ideas or things you do to take better care of Earth. What you do is every time your child does these things, you put a star on the corresponding date. When he/she gets a certain amount of stars, they get a treat or a reward. The reward can be anything you choose. I recommend something like a day at the park, or a movie.. something fun.
It’s our job as parents to teach our children to take responsibility for themselves and the planet we live on.

I’m a bit strapped for cash right now. I had some car repairs, and a few other things come up and the rent is due in about 10 days. I don’t know if I’ll have the money for it. I’m actually considering getting one of those Cash Advance loans where they give you an advance on your next paycheck or something like that. I mean, I’ll be getting my check like a week later, so it shouldn’t be too much of a hassle. I think all you need is a checking account and a verifiable income. I’m not sure what the interest is on that kind of thing, but I do know you can apply for a Fast Cash Advance loan right online. That’s pretty convenient, and I guess I’d rather do that than try to find a place around here that would do it. Plus I don’t even have to leave. It might be worth it. I don’t want late fees on my rent, afterall.

I have a friend named Tracy who is in desperate need of some help. Her husband recently walked out on her and their 4 year old daughter to go live with a woman he works with. He left her with bills due, no food, and no money. What she needs is money to help her meet their most immediate and urgent needs. If you have anything to spare, anything at all, it would be put to good use, and be greatly appreciated. Please send any donations, if you have any, via paypal to lendahend (@) unsexy.net. Or you can go here to get more details and use the paypal donate button. Thank you.
