So many people in this world struggle with debt everyday. I’m positive I’m not the only person out there who has problems managing my finances in such a way as to avoid debt completely. I’ve tried. My boyfriend is also finding out the hard way that avoiding any type of debt or credit problems is nearly impossible and can be somewhat frustrating. He always prided himself on having great credit, but recently found that an old hospital bill from when he didn’t have insurance has caught up with him. It actually kept him from getting a credit card he recently applied for and he’s rather peeved about it. It got me to thinking about my own credit again, and how I’d like to clean it up. Again. I know I am not anywhere near filing for bankruptcy or anything of that nature, but for some folks out there bankruptcy may seem like the only solution to a huge debt problem. There is another way! Trust me, I’ve been there. There are different types of Debt Management Plans that can help you straighten out your finances and manage your debt, eventually getting you out of debt completely. Programs like that do work. Basically you’ve just got to figure out what your level of debt is, and what you can do to get yourself out of it. Find yourself a debt management expert and devise a plan to get your finances back in order.

The kiddo is at his first ever “Mini Gourmet” cooking class. It’s this class I enrolled him in at the beginning of the summer. It lasts for 2 hours. I gave him some money for the soda and snack machine as well as his rec room card so if he wants to stay up there after the class is over and play some games or whatever he can. Anyway, we were almost late for the class. I woke up early this morning, but I woke up sick. My throat hurts terribly and I’ve lost my voice. I was coughing up blood this morning, but I’m sure it’s just from my throat. I decided since it was really early I’d go back to bed for a few, thinking I’d wake up in time. And I did wake up in time, barely. Nonetheless he made it there in time and hopefully he’s having great fun. That’s what it’s all about anyway. It’s summer time and I want him to have fun.
Last week I took him and his friend to the rec center (or community center) to play some games and stuff and they ended up staying for hours. He had alot of fun then apparently. There’s lots of fun stuff for the kids to do there, and there’s also a gym and a nature center. I also took him and his friend on Friday night to play Pizza Bingo up there. The kids got to play bingo and eat pizza, which was pretty cool. They had a good time. 
I’ve been sticking to the reading thing for the most part. He’s currently reading book 2 of The Chronicles of Narnia. He seems to be enjoying it. Tonight is also our “movie night” and I’ve gotten the Spiderwick Chronicles from Netflix. Eric picked that out, lol. Hopefully it’s good.
I really can’t believe he’s already half way through his summer vacation. I’ve got to start school clothes shopping soon and getting all of his needed supplies for 3rd grade. I just can’t believe it, 3rd grade!!! I’m actually going to be selling some of his old stuff on eBay I think. He’s got a pair of Van’s from last year that he wore once, and they are still basically brand new. He’s also got a winter coat that he wore twice. It’s Texas, it usually doesn’t get that cold here so he mostly wears hoodies and what not. But yeah, I guess I should start going through his old stuff. What fun.
