Cool planetarium

Planetarium
Cool looking planetarium

 

I would so love to take my kids here. This is a really cool looking place. The kids love to go to the planetarium. They have been on field trips there before and are always begging me to take them back. I would really like to take them to a larger one, but even more, I want to take them to an observatory. That would be amazingly cool.

Love this

I just found some awesome flameless candles with timer on them. I absolutely love that! Now I can turn them on and if I forget to turn them off before I go to bed or fall out on the couch, they will turn themselves off. That makes things so much easier on me for many reasons. First off, it will save me a ton of money on batteries. That is a definite plus. Secondly, as I mentioned before if they turn themselves off there is no worry.

I love candles. I keep them all over the house. I have ones that makes the house smell good and others just for how they look when they are lit. My friends and family tell me that I am a candle fanatic, but that makes things easy on them since they always buy me some sort of candle for holidays and such. I am ordering these new candles asap.

Letting go

Sometimes people come into your life and then leave it again. Learning to let go when they are gone can be difficult. It has taken me a long time to figure out how to do that. I believe that these people are sent into our lives to teach us something and when they leave us, it is because we have learned all that we could from them.

I have recently lost a friend, who just walked away over relative non-sense. I am not sure exactly what I was supposed to have learned from her, but I must have learned something. Perhaps it is just not to let too many people get close to me. I am not sure, but what I am sure of, is that eventually I will figure out what it is when the time is right.

Ordering for work

Well I have to do the ordering for my part time job. I work in the office at a local motel. I do the inventory and keep the books for them as well as scheduling etcetera. PeachSuite Hotel supply is the company we use for all of our inventory orders. I have a really good rapport with the sales rep and they are always on time with my orders. Hotel Supplies can often be a pain to order depending on the company you order from, but now that is not longer a problem.

This little motel also has a diner with a small catering business. I help them with orders for that as well. Hotel Catering Supplies can just be added to the regular order with ease.  The lady who runs that is really nice and makes sure I have a detailed list of everything that she needs. Once a month we go through everything to make sure we are completely stocked up.

 

Late start today

I went back to bed after getting the kids off to school this morning and slept until eleven thirty. I cannot believe I slept so long. I wasn’t feeling that well though and I guess my body needed the rest. Now my day is half gone and I have a ton of stuff to get done before the kids get home. I am pretty sure that I won’t finish all of it, as I still feel a little off. I can only hope that whatever laid me out this morning, doesn’t affect the kids and doesn’t get any worse. Wish me luck.

Winterizing the trees

The time has come to winterize the trees here around the house. Sometimes we get really bad ice storms and need to cut back branches that could possibly break and fall on the house or cars. We picked up some arborist supplies a while back for just this occasion. Sometimes, it is necessary to do this in the spring too.

We get really bad spring storms, with high level, straight line winds. They can knock a full grown tree over in a split second. We tend to be very careful about how tall we allow the trees to grow right next to the house, because of it.

What a storm

I have been watching the news and the hurricane that is hitting the north east is going to be a real doozy. There is a cold front down from the arctic as well that will make some of the rain turn to snow. That doesn’t happen often during a hurricane. I feel sorry for all the people who will be without power afterwards. They are going to have problems with the cold weather. I hope my family will keep safe.

Pow wow

I took the kids to the Indian Pow wow this past weekend. We had so much fun and the kids learned so much. A friend of mine has a daughter who was the Pow wow princess this year and last year. The kids thought it was really neat that they knew someone who was actually in the ceremonies. They made me promise to bring them again next year. I told them that there would be another one in the spring and we would certainly go.

Charity event

The event planning for the Feed the Hungry charity we have here in our little town is well under way. I am on the planning committee with my mother and we have gotten so much done already. Our dinner is the first week of November, just in time for the holiday season when so many people need help. I know that it is a busy time of year for people, but making time to help others is worth it.

Center of the Earth

The kids are watching the Center of the Earth movie with Brendan Frasier. They are so funny. The fish in the movie scared them. My little guy started yelling and jumped about three feet into the air. I wish I had the camcorder out for that one. It would have made a great moment to save. I think I am going to have to keep it out more often.
