Truth Is Thursday...



Truth is... I'm really excited about the Muppet invasion.  Shuddup. You know you love them too.

Truth is...  My monster cookies are hugely deceiving.  All you need is a few vampire teeth from the party store, cut in half.  Frost the underside of two store bought two inch cookies (mine were from the bakery, but chips ahoy work just fine) with red frosting and sandwich the fangs between the cookies.  Then stick two of the same color M&Ms on the top for eyes with icing, and use black icing for the pupils.  Lastly, mix up green frosting in a zip lock bag, cut off the corner, and dab and pull the frosting on the back half of the cookie for hair.  Easy peesy.

Truth is... simple or not, the kids in Oldest's classroom think I'm the "Mom bomb"

Truth is... the kids in his class thought it was so sad he'd miss out on trick or treat, they brought in candy for him on Tuesday.

Truth is... I got this "financial angel" chain email the other day....


I felt really sad that I had did not have six friends to forward it to that wouldn't hate me for life,  pathetic I know, but I forwarded it anyway.  Later that day, I checked the status of DOR and child support and turns out he deposited $750.  I'll wait while you all pick your jaws up off the floor.  Then I found out the roof and sun room water damage was covered under the homeowners insurance without skyrocketing our premiums.  The check will be some where to the tune of $3500.

Truth is... I'm  now second guessing all those chain emails.

Truth is... I will make more money this week having three days off than if I had gone into work all six days.  It's government math, simpler than the "new math" and more confusing than the 9-9-9 plan.

Truth is... It's your turn!  Feel free to just link back, or just steal the image as the button's been causing chaos lately. If any one knows how to fix this, please let me know...

17 Survival Tips:

  1. Truth is, I'm always leery of government math, even when they're handing me a nice fat check. Also, I'm leery of money in general.

  11. I can't even finish reading your post. I have to check my deleted file for chain mails. If the financial ones are true, do you think the bad luck part is true too? 'Cause that would explain a lot ;)
