I recently received a review copy of “The Second Nine Monthsâ€. As soon as I read the description on the jacket of the book I thought of my wife. I could tell this would be the type of book that she would relate to much better than I could. So I decided to pass this book on to her for a review. And I was right, as she was reading it she kept quoting parts of the book while sharing flash backs with me about her feelings of being a mother. My wife’s review is below. You can purchase this book from several retailers both on and offline.

Vicki Glembocki writes a bear all book about those first few months of motherhood. She provides a humorous look at all those insecurities new mothers experience. The Second Nine Months presents in an entertaining way the trials and tribulations we all experience.

She openly describes the pressure others place on us to be perfect Mommies and the feelings we deal with as a result of it. She shares the process of bonding with your baby, which despite what many believe, doesn’t come natural to every woman. She explains it as more of an evolutionary process that results once Mother and Baby settle into a routine, experience peace and calm together, and Mother becomes more confident in her ability to care for this helpless newborn. She shares the endless frustrations of non-stop crying and the difficulties of breastfeeding.

Just when you think the misery will never end, she finally turns the corner – the slow transformation that takes place around the ninth or tenth month, where she finds her own strength in this new role and learns that she really does experience that deep binding love between mother and child.

This is a book that most women who have experienced motherhood can relate to – maybe not all of it but certainly a good portion of it. The first few pages were very entertaining to me as I recalled the early days with my two girls. It’s really great to see someone have the courage to expose the insecurities we all feel at times and detail so humorously those difficult experiences in the first few months. I would definitely recommend this book to mothers who had babies at least 2-3 years ago - but whatever you do, don’t let women who have yet to have children get a hold of this! You only find humor in the whole experience once you’ve lived through it and survived!

Saving time is yet another inducement since on-line programs are shaped so students can move through the programs promptly in order to get their degrees and put them to work.I enjoy learning just for the experience, but it’s also nice to pick up a degree or certification that can improve your job opportunities along the way.With the increasing cost of gasoline, a lot of college students are turning to online tutlage.There are oppertunities offered online that were not previously would have occurred to me.

It’s not continuously easy to squeeze more schooling into our at present busy lives, but education online gives graduates the freedom to pick and pick their own hours.Students can earn secondary, bachelor’s and master’s degrees that will empower them to move ahead in their lines of work.Pumping up one’s curriculum vitae is a cool way to get into a job that not only pays well but is also stimulating.For those who haven’t tried it, the course work can be just as complete and challenging as sitting in a ordinary college tutorial room.

When discerning about reciving an online degree, it’s fun just to think about all of the avenues.It’s constantly thrilling to learn something new.It gives them more learning time as well, since they are not spending time commuting to school.A range of degrees in professional, edification, legal justice, design, and web design can be earned.

With the global market being what it is, graduates who are thinking that college is out of their reach might want to look into recieving an online degree.The importance of these internet colleges is on real situation training so that graduates are apt to go when they take on the responsibilities required in their new positions.The convenience of getting an online degree is notably useful to those who need to work and go to college at the same time.This distance learning site offers a lot of options.Just whitnessing what’s obtainable is incredible.

I’m sure all of you out there have at least heard of someone being ripped off by a cowboy tradesman. It’s happened to me twice before, when I was grossly overcharged for electrical services. One time I was charged £100, just to change a fuse when I know its a simple job. After all the electrics in my house went off at the beginning of July, I was extremely begrudging to get in any old electrician from the Yellow Pages. I was refereed to a relatively new company called BH Electrician Services. After  I called, they sent someone round the next day and within 10 minutes I had my electrics back on. It was another blown fuse again, but this time it was in the main fuse box. I was worried to hear what the price would be. Turned out it was £15 and I didn’t eve have to pay up front. I was told and invoice would be in the post. So if anyone out there has been ripped off by an electrician, check out these electricians.

I’m still sick. /insert cough, wheeze, stuffiness.. etc.

I also found out some horrible news a few hours ago. Tammy’s dad passed away. Tammy is my mom’s roommate and I am very close to her. This makes me so sad and even though they didn’t have the best relationship, I know she is torn to bits. He’s struggled with his health for the last year or so but especially so for the last few months. This morning he had trouble breathing so they took him to the ER. He was fully aware of what was going on, who was there and the like but in the end, he lost his battle. I know he’ll be deeply missed.

Didn’t really have too much to write about after a busy weekend of buzzing from gym to gym, however this morning I was watching a local “Morning Show” and on it was someone from a site that claims they can lower your property tax assessment Guaranteed (this of course caused me to wake up a lot more and listen).

The site in question is called AssessYourAssessment (this is not a paid ad for this site). You go to the site type in your Ontario address (I believe this is an Ontario only service) and they will then check the municipal rolls (roles?) and more likely than not do a comparison with what your neighbours pay and then tell you that you are overpaying your property taxes (in my case they claim it is over $525 a year). That sounds like a lot of money I’d like to keep for myself.

The other interesting point they make is that if you appeal you assessment now you can get money back from this year and you will save the money next year as well (hence the number they quote you is double what you will actually save each year). They warn that you only have 20 days left to make an appeal on this year’s assessment.

This is a thought provoking service, I am not sure I am going to use it, because they want to charge me about $170.00 to appeal my property tax assessment for me, and the kicker is their “money back guarantee” only claims they will get your taxes lowered, not by how much, so if they lower your assessment by $1, you would still be on the hook for their entire payment.

How hard is it to appeal your Property Tax assessment in Ontario is my question? Anybody?

Property taxes are the only tax (I think) on something you own, year over year. I don’t get “taxed” on my car (well yes I do with license and registration), and the other funny thing is that the Government takes more money when they think your house is worth more, so I am actually taxed on “value” not on actual money I have in my hand. There really does need to be a better way to get municipalities tax money, because this system seems very obtuse to me.

To end the week let’s wander around the financial world this week:

• If you were planning on giving a gift card for Christmas, careful where you buy them from. Evidently “Mall” gift cards (i.e. a gift card for all the participating stores in the Mall), are not covered yet under the new Consumer Protection Act in Canada. This means they can have expiration dates and all the other dirty tricks that used to haunt this “gift giving vehicle” so keep that in mind.
• The Canadian Capitalist posted a whole bunch of fun gift ideas on his blog, hope he has a good Christmas Saving Plan in place to pay for all of them.
• There are more foreign born folk in Canada than in the past 75 years (19.8%), being the child of immigrant parents, I am proud to say immigrants helped make Canada what it is today.
• Unemployment bounced a little for October with it going up for the first time in a while to 5.9%, the Manufacturing sector took a big hit with the stronger dollar and new job seekers (students and immigrants) both added to this number as well. Is this a sign of what is to come?

New York City U.S.A with “Liberty Enlightening the World,” The Statue of Liberty was a gift of the French government to the United States to honor the ideals of freedom and independence. This copper “Lady Liberty” holds a torch in her right hand and a tablet in her left, marked July 4, 1776, the adoption date of the Decralation of Independence. While one of her feet stands on chains, symbolizing acquired freedom, and seven spikes in her crown represent the seven seas and seven continents standing at 93 meters (305 ft) in total. It is an early gesture of generosity and a symbol for millions of US immigrants for new life of peace and prosperity.
