Well this morning my son tells me he has some nauseousness and almost threw up. Of course I probably should have sent him to school anyway, because as I suspected, a couple of hours later he says he feels better. He was probably just tired because he had a hard time falling asleep last night and didn’t want to go to bed. I hate it when the kids pull this crap, because then when they really are sick I don’t want to believe them. It makes it very hard to decide when to keep them home and when not to. grrrrrr
used construction truck sale
Well, my brother is starting a new business. He has gotten his sub contractors license in construction and is now looking for used construction equipment for sale. He needs a couple of different machines to do what is required by the business he is going into. First he is looking for a backhoe for sale, preferably a used one. It will keep down his start up costs and leave more money for operation if he buys used vehicles for now.
He is definitely going to need a truck to pull a large piece of equipment. So I am helping him look for used trucks for sale online. The cost of starting a business is exorbitant and he is trying to save money where ever he can. I told him that he might want to find a used skid steer instead of a backhoe since they are definitely cheaper and weigh less. If it weighs less then the truck he buys doesn’t have to be too big. Either way I am sure we will find everything he needs in time for the spring construction rush. A lot of construction slows down during the winter around here because of the weather.
Valentines day
I have a love/hate relationship with Valentines day. I have always hated it because I was with losers who never got me anything, but now I have the best man in the world. He always makes me feel special all year long, but on Valentines Day he goes all out, even when we can’t really afford it. I am so happy with him. I have never been this happy before in a relationship. I thank God everyday for bringing this man into my life and pray further that he never takes him from me. =)
More work on the house
Well the remodeling is gong very well. The bathroom looks great and I am considering having some other work done as well. The basement is just an ordinary basement, but it is very large. There is a lot of unused space that would be great as a rec room. If I have the washer and dryer moved to corner and enclose that as a laundry room, I can finish the walls, add carpeting and possibly a half bathroom for a nice rec room.
My fiance has some large table games stored down there that can be set up for everyone to enjoy. A Foosball table could go in one corner, with the pool table on the other side. I have a friend who is purchasing new furniture, so I could take the old couches off of her hands and use them down here as well. All I would have to really buy would be a new TV and that is not very difficult. Our taxes will be in soon and we can afford it right now.
The kids would have their own space to play video games and play with their friends without being under foot all the time. It opens into the back yard as well, so it would be great for parties and holidays too. I think I will talk to my honey tonight when he gets home and see what he thinks.
More doctor appointments
Well now I have two doctors appointments for this week. One for each of the boys. I had to go get the little guy from school because he spiked a fever while there. Finally just decided to bite the bullet and make him an appointment because every other day he is running a fever. I have him laying down right now watching TV in his room. The Tylenol I gave him has taken effect and the fever is down, but you can tell he still feels poorly. grrrrr
Taxes
Tax season is always hectic for people with tax preparer jobs. I have thought about taking the class and getting certified to do taxes for some extra money. I am always looking for a way to make a little extra cash. Being a stay at home mom is a job in itself, but we are able to afford the extras by the money I make on the side doing various jobs online and such. I have a lot of different things I do and adding one more wouldn’t be too much of a hardship. There are lots of classes out there to take.
The tax class is relatively easy according to my friend Sally. She ordered the books and studied them before taking the test itself online. She was certified in no time at all. We all know that getting our taxes done is something that everyone must do, and the more people there are to do your taxes the better.
I think I will make sure to do it over the next year, so that I am ready for the next tax season. I will have plenty of time to study and take the test before then. I have recommended this to my sister as well, since she is a stay at home mom as well.
Poor little guy
Well, my littlest guy is still not feeling that well, however he is not running fever or anything so I couldn’t keep him home from school. I let his teacher know that he wasn’t feeling well and to call me if he looked like he was getting worse. He didn’t want to stay home and I hope he feels better after he has been there a while. I really hate to send him to school when he is like that, but there is no help for it. If he doesn’t go he will lose his spot in the program. Poor little guy…
Shopping
I love to shop. Even more I love to shop for stuff for my house. Today I bought a few things for my bedroom. A whole new bedding set complete with the bed skirts. I love the way the skirts hang on the bottom of the bed. I took inventory of the beds in the house and bought new mattress covers for all the beds in the house as well. Mine didn’t really need a new one, but the children have torn theirs up, so I had to get new ones. Don’t ask me how they manage to tear them up, because I am clueless.
I have a set of satin bed sheet for my bed, but not enough satin pillow cases for the set, so I bought a few more of those as well. I bought them in different colors to contrast the color I already have. The ones I have are a maroon color, and the ones I bought are dark blue like the comforter as a contrast. I really like the effect it makes. I am looking for some material to stretch on the walls that matches the comforter set. When I have that my room will have a whole new look to it.
Aunt Phyllis
Well my Aunt Phyllis is looking for Toronto contractors to help do some remodeling on her house. Since she and my Uncle split up a few years ago, the house has been steadily falling apart on her without a man to help with repairs. The Toronto kitchen contractors can remodel her kitchen entirely instead of having a handy man do repairs. I think it is a great idea so that she doesn’t have to worry about constantly having someone come fix stuff for her.
She has also had a few problems in her bathroom, so has decided to redo it as well. The Toronto bathroom contractors she found have given her a good price on it, with a whole new bathroom as well. Her new bathroom will include a shower stall instead of a tub, with rails so she doesn’t fall. Since she is getting older she is worried that one day she might have this problem, so is preparing ahead of time. I feel much better with this knowledge, as the family has worried about her being up there with no other family around. She has friends, but it is not the same. This is a very good thing.
Give me a good reason
When people act stupid and then expect you to just forget about it, well that annoys the hell out of me. An apology is in order when you act like a child. You know you were wrong, so be a good friend and say your sorry, before you expect forgiveness. I apologize when I mess up. Why can’t you? I love you, so please grow up and act like a mature, responsible adult. Thank you so much.
