MONEY SAVING TIPS
Backpacks ~ You will save money in the long run by purchasing a good quality backpack with a guarantee. We've sent a Jansport backpack back more than once with a broken zipper, and were satisfied with the service. One mother reported that her child had a backpack replaced three times from L.L.Bean and they were also reimbursed for shipping and handling.

Knee Pillows ~ I found a contoured head pillow that I didn't need, and cut it into fourths with an electric knife (it cut like butter) to make a knee pillow. Two pieces were higher than the other two. I hot glued each of the larger pillows together with a smaller pillow, and had two knee pillows! If you sleep on your side with a pillow between your legs, your spine will be straighter using a knee pillow - thus less backaches. A small pillow case could be easily sewn for each one.

HUMOROUS SCHOOL ILLUSTRATIONS
Thanks to Barb in Mississippi for sending these two stories.
Behavior Modification ~ One morning I was called to pick up my son at the school nurse's office. When I walked through the main entrance, I noticed a woman, curlers in her hair, wearing pajamas. "Why are you dressed like that?" I asked her.
"I told my son," she explained, "that if he ever did anything to embarrass me, I would embarrass him back. He was caught cutting school. So now I've come to spend the day with him!"

Send Money ~ A son called up his mom from college and asked her for some money, because he ran out of it. Mom said, "Sure, sweetie. I'll will send you some money. You also left your calculus book here when you visited two weeks ago. Do you want me to send that too?"
"Uhh, oh yeah, okay," responded the lad.
So Mom wrapped the book along with the checks up in a package, kissed Dad goodbye, and went to the post office to mail the money and the book.
When she got back, Dad asked, "Well how much did you give the boy this time?"
Mom said, "Oh, I wrote 2 checks out to him - one for $20, and the other for $1000."
"That's $1,020!!!" yelled Dad, "Are you crazy?"
"Don't worry, Hon," Mom said, as she kissed Dad on the on top of his head. "I taped the $20 check to the cover of his book, but I put the one for $1000 somewhere between the pages in chapter 19!"
