A long week.

Well, this has been a really long week for Mike. He is working on an emergency preparedness video for the local PBS station. He is also doing the book stuff and cleaning trashed out houses for a realtor. Which by the way is an EXCELLENT source of income if someone needs a part time job.

Anyway, we are also going to be trying to do a HUGE Back to School promo next week. We are going to be giving away over $300 worth of free e-books on everything from organizing, saving money and homeschool freebies. We are also going to be having a sale on all our stuff. Mike is working himself ragged but we really need to get a boost in our income. He took off most of July for the move and septic problems and so we lost out on one month's worth of pay.

One thing I wanted to mention that was in his video. I hadn't heard this before but to make sure you car if always half full and keep 2-3 5 gallon gas cans filled all the time. That way if you need to get out in a hurry you won't have to stop at the gas station for gas. It may be closed and there could be huge lines! Also, have some cash on hand! Save back $500 and keep it at home if you can. You probably won't be able to get the banks either!

Just thought I would pass on those tips! Tawra

This is something my husband and I always do. We never let the tank get below half. In college, we had friends who would only put a few dollars in at a time, and were always on the verge of running out of gas. It's just as easy to fill up the tank and add the few dollars to keep the tank full, and much more sensible.
