That means that in just a few short moments, I will be getting myself together to go on my shopping run. Four stores, one gas station, three hours or less! It feels like a reality show some days. At least, I don’t have to go to Walgreen’s this week. That adds a whole lotta time onto my run for some reason. I think because I get sucked into all of their sale stuff and I look at everything. The farm store used to be that way. But if I let myself look there, then I always end up spending at least $50. And that is not good. So now I go to the poultry area get my feed and leave.
Lord, bless Cass today as she pushes through her day. And also, keep reminding her to notice those blessings. Just a little nudge in the back of her brain to remind her that despite what she doesn’t have, she is greatly blessed! In Your name, Amen!
Short prayer but I just realized the time. I need to get myself together and get out of here.

Because I was tired of titles that indicate that the day sort of stinks. Today is Thursday and Tom informed Melina last night that he will be home sometime today. I think that makes it a beautiful day. On the other hand I will be spraying the bedrooms for fleas today. So the work of today is not such a beautiful thing. But I will be happy to have the fleas out of my room. And really flea control is so much easier now that it was 15 years ago. Now you can treat your animal and normally not worry so much about treating your carpets and such. Unless you have a big explosion of them in the rooms where your animals only spend a little time each day in. That would be what has happened to us. So if I disappear, I am either washing bedding or cleaning the bedrooms or spraying. Doesn’t that sound like a fun day? Also, I have to run Clint over to bale hay today. And I need to take a shower but after I deal with the fleas.

Man, am I sleepy. I have overslept for the past two days, because I stayed up late watching the olympics. Whose idea was it to put the gymnastics finals on at midnight?
So, today I have my regular blogging, the project work, doctor visits for three, and practice. And there is a bit of Tuesday left over to deal with. I am very hopeful that I will be able to push the project through to completion, because, as you probably realize, other stuff is stacking up while I am preoccupied with it. I should also look at the grocery sale papers.

That’s what I am today. Sigh. Please pray for my husband, he needs financial wisdom. He has managed to overdraw both the checking and the paypal accounts. I’m not quite sure how it was possible to do both, but it’s been done, so it must be. Please pray for my continued lack of screaming fits. Did you notice the continued? That’s right. Though I did use the opportunity to calmly ask for my paypal card back.
I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that needs doing around here. I still need to get that last blog up, and it is a huge project. I really want to do more organizing/sorting/tossing of the craft crap. The laundry is backed up. I need to go to the grocery store and that’s not going to happen because I don’t have time.
And I have cramps.
I think that’s all I can think of to whine about right now, but I may add more later

I’ll be in and out today. I have to take Jazz to the dentist in a few minutes. Then I can come home and pay bills. Yay! After lunch we are heading to Quincy to pick up Jazz’s new glasses, some backpacks, some flea spray (those stupid, stupid things are still in my carpet!), milk, Melina’s birth certificate and shoes for Karly. My kitchen needs some serious attention but I don’t know if it will get any today. Also tomorrow, I will make pickles. I HAVE to make pickles. Salsa and apple sauce are on the list today, too.
I’ll be back in at some point to say hey.

We can make it.

I know! I like Friday. Well, most of it. And thank you for the prayer. It was so nice yesterday to be able to spend time with the kids.
Lord, please be with Ang. as she shops fast and furiously. That’s quite an impressive feat! Helpher to find good deals to stretch the money.
In Jesus Name, Amen
I have the regular blogging work, and school and I want us to really spruce up the kitchen today. Also, I want to start re-sorting that craft stuff, so it doesn’t look so precarious there stacked in front of the bench.

Shopping is done! Tom’s check was more than I expected so hopefully I will be able to contribute to the trip fund as planned.
I am now decompressing and eating lunch. Then I am going to do a whole lot of nothing. Well that isn’t entirely true. I will probably work on finishing up the laundry. And maybe watch a movie with the kids. Otherwise I plan on blogging and maybe looking into Squidoo. I started that a while ago and never finished it.

Glad you’re shopping was successful. Listen, I am seriously thinking about going to a 4 day school week with the kids, so I can have a day to do internet work. What do you think?

Also, I need snappies!

So my broody hen has 11 more eggs under her than she started with. She has been rolling other hens’ eggs under her. The kids were supposed to be taking out the extra eggs but haven’t been. I candled them all and they all have a chick in them. But not all at the same stage. So I am trying to see if a neighbor has an incubator that the younger eggs can finish growing in. Life is so exciting.

I think that is very doable and much needed for you to make some money. You will just have to figure out what your kids will do all day so they don’t bother you. YK?
August 15th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Do you want to give up the chicks? Could you rent the incubator from her?
Yeah. It’s not so much that they bother me….. Well, yes it is. They interrupt me. Hm. But maybe if it’s just one day per week…. Maybe Wednesday?? I dunno, but… yeah. It will be better than all day every day, ykwim?
Especially if I can hit it heavy and pre-write the content for my non daily blogs.
August 15th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
I don’t know that I want all of those chicks. And I know that she would take them.
Yep, it could really cut down on the time you take out each day to do your work.

I am missing a sandal. And of course no one has seen it. One was in the sandal drawer and the other is no where to be found. Now my sandals don’t usually go in the drawer because I only have one pair and I wear them a lot. So someone put one in the drawer and who knows what happened to the other!

The dog ate it. Or ask Melina.
