With the economy still bad after so many years, what is left to invest in that will see a good return?  I know our 401K took a huge hit when the economy first tumbled and it's wheezing itself slowing back out of the negatives.  I've heard that gold is a good investment. How do you invest in gold? Gold bars? Just buy stock in a gold company?

I am a ninny when it comes to investing. As you can tell, I know nothing about it.

The kids are back in school.  It was hard to see the youngest start school, definitely had to choke back tears, but it's fine now.  In fact, after the arguing she and I do in the mornings over her shoes and brushing her teeth, and the fighting they all do over the bathroom, I'm ready to nudge her right out the front door with the rest of them for the bus and lock the door behind all of them.

Health-wise, not so good.  I am back to gaining weight.  My neck has been hurting for weeks now.  I don't know if it is thyroid-related or my TMJ since both are giving me problems at the moment. 

I thought with all the kids going to school, I'd be bored out of my mind but there is just too much to do.  It's definitely not sitting around on outdoor chaise lounges, eating bon bons or watching soap operas. I haven't seen one soap opera yet!  If there are stay-at-home moms who have the time to sit around all day and do nothing, I'd like to borrow their maids please!

There is a study that is linking pesticides to attention problems (ADD, ADHD).   You can read about it here. 

Senior year is starting for my stepdaughter, who is our oldest.  She is so geeked over senior year and senior year activities.  I wouldn't doubt if she's already looking at prom dresses for spring!

For our youngest, she is starting kindergarten.  I am sure I will cry on her first day and I really don't want to do that!!

Then the other four kids in between in elementary, junior high, and high school.  Yes, we have a lot of kids. 

I have updated all the latest on my thyroid health on my thyroid blog.  Don't forget to check it out if you have thyroid problems! 

School will be in session in two weeks.  I need to use that time with the kids all in school to increase my workload and get organized.  I should probably get organized and THEN increase my workload.  Otherwise, I'll get scattered.  I need to look at good document management software to manage everything I do since it is all on the computer. I need to be able to find a document right when I need it and not search through directories for awhile until I come across it.

Here's to getting organized and working more for more money!!
