You may still be working on your Halloween costume, but you need to also make time to register for an upcoming job fair.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce hosts hiring fairs around the nation every month that are only for military spouses. The employers there want military spouses. They appreciate the skills and dedication we bring to our careers.
Remember we had that talk about crappy books? About how a bad textbook required for an already difficult class sets us up for failure?
Well, when we are dealt a hand like that, we have two options. We can either allow our butts to get kicked and suffer a GPA drop (assuming we get a C), or we can quit whining and find better sources.
So, how can we find better sources?
Assuming the book isn't so bad that its information could be better explained by the shouting of a drunk, crazy man living under a Central Park bridge, the text should provide three valuable things:
We are on a mini-vacation this week, headed to a friend’s wedding in Arkansas.
I took the entire week off from my job to prepare, pack, clean out the car and get us on the road for the 10-hour journey.
On Monday, I set off to check each item on my list, and was sucked back into work - answering phone calls, emails and “urgent” text messages from my office that really could have waited. By the time I finished with my non-work day, it was dinner time and I hadn’t prepared a thing for our trip.

Irritable lately? If you’re not “h-angry” (anger caused by hunger) or premenstrual and dealing with hormonal fluctuations, you might want to look at how you are managing your stress levels.
Are you a student? And a mom. And a wife. And a daughter. And an employee. And a volunteer. And, well, simply exhausted?
Far too often we put everyone and everything else first in our lives. We put even our simplest needs on the backburner: sleep, enough water, enough veggies, enough exercise.
We have a new blog for you that is going to help put you first.
We want to welcome blogger Christine Cioppa. Christine is a long-time health columnist and now works as a stay-at-home mom and wife who is balancing family and freelance writing.

I love Halloween. My son is turning three soon, and he’s excited about being a Minion. Luckily, his epilepsy isn’t triggered by flashing lights or external stimuli, so we can enjoy many different types of Halloween and fall festival activities.
Halloween is usually a fun time for most kids. But if your child is on the spectrum or has other special needs, it may not be a fun experience for many reasons.
Drafters of the military budget have put military families squarely in the crosshairs. Now, they may do the same to veterans.
A cornerstone of the proposal to slim the military budget is the notion that military families should be paying more out of pocket expenses – everywhere. Housing costs will rise, long-time, all-inclusive fees such as monthly electric and water bills are now paid separately by military families. Commissary benefits are on the chopping block as is free medical care for military families who stay within the Tricare system.

My son will turn 14 in a few weeks. He was born at the 121st Military Hospital at Yongsan Garrison in Seoul, South Korea.
The staff was a mix of Americans and Koreans, and on that particular night – Oct. 10, 2001 – there were two Korean nurses on duty in the OB unit.
Math.
Just saying the word makes some students shudder.
But, you have to take it to graduate. And, yes, believe it or not, you might just use those equations, or at least the math processes, in real life.
So, if you are sitting at your kitchen table until the wee hours of the morning scratching out problems over and over again, and find you just can’t figure it out, you may want to check out some of these free math help sites online. Each is designed for advanced high school math courses and beyond, so don’t worry about tripping over the little kid stuff.

School has started. The temperatures are dropping and the leaves are changing. Starbucks has Pumpkin Spice Latte for sale. So that means two things: fall is here, and PCS season is ending.
If you made a move, you’re probably starting to feel a bit more settled. Maybe you didn’t move but your spouse did. I know anytime I hear that my service member will be out of town for an extended training, I get anxious and start trying to plan for my mom to come visit.
