A few new things

I bought a few new things to decorate my house with, decorative accessories for the living room that make it pop. I really like it when I am able to buy stuff for my house that make it more than just a place to live. It is rapidly turning into a show place that I can be proud of. I have worked really hard on this house. I want my children to be proud of their home and not embarrassed by it. I know how that feels because when we were kids, we were very poor for a while. I never invited anyone to that house.

I have found some very affordable home decor to make this place look good, and I am lucky in that my kids don’t destroy everything they touch either. That is a definite plus. My friend Sally has boys who seem to be very destructive. Every time she gets her house nice, they break half of what she has just bought, even the chic furniture she had just purchased.

LOL

Kids are so funny. My son was singing the same song I used to sing at the end of the school year. Of course he didn’t know that I could hear him and I didn’t say anything to him, but I did get a chuckle out of it. I know that you know which song I am talking about. No more teachers, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks, when the teacher rings the bell. Drop your books and run like 7734. I am still giggling over that.

Something new or used?

I have been trying to decide weather or not to get a new car or a used one. I am pretty sure I am going to go with used. I found this site that I really like with great cars on it. They have a lot of really nice cars and they are much more affordable than what I was looking at new. I got Credit Approval online in just a few minutes and have already picked out a couple of cars I really like.

The used cars I saw on the blog were clean and looked like brand new. I can’t wait to go buy myself a new to me car. It is always exciting when you can buy something for yourself, especially something as large as a car. The kids are going to be really happy too, because the AC in the old one doesn’t work and they constantly complain about it.

Too busy lately

Gosh I have been too busy lately. I cannot wait for summer to get here so I can have some really good R & R. I want a full week with no getting up at the crack of down to get kids ready for school and packing lunches etc… I am so glad that school is almost over. The hectic schedule tends to get to you about half way through the year and by the end of the school year, you are ready to jump ship almost. I am so at that point.

Too nice

Never let it be said that I am not accommodating. I will support you in all your decisions and stand by your side when those decisions are perhaps not what was best. However, do not confuse kindness and love with weakness. I will not under any circumstances let you take advantage of me. If that is what you have on your agenda, reconsider that course of action. You really don’t want to know what it is like to get on my bad side.

Oh no

Oh no, my best friends house burned down. I offered for her to come stay here with her kids, but she refused. She said that the Salvation Army is putting them up in a motel and she needed the time to regroup. she was lucky that recently she had bought a Sentry Safe for her valuables and important documents. That was a god send to her in this crisis. The emergency crew rescued it the next day when the Sentry Safe inspector came to determine the cause of the it.

Her mother was happy that she bought the Sentry Safe after she found out about the fire. She even decided that it was a very smart thing to do and is going to purchase one for her house as well. I have had one for a long time, because I had flood damage once and lost the paperwork I needed. Since it is water proof, I don’t have to worry about that happening again.

This is how I feel today

angry

This is how I feel today. So if you have ideas about messing with me, I would seriously reconsider that agenda. If you decide that you just have to mess with me, you might get more than you can handle. I will gladly rip your head off and gnaw on it for a snack. So leave me alone until I calm down and you might want to fix what you did to piss me off. Have a nice day ! NOT !

Still working on it

I am still working on my remodeling of the house. I have so much I want to do still. I am working on it as diligently as I possibly can, with what resources I have and believe it or not, it is coming along nicely. I will be happy when it is all finished, so I can relax for a while before I start my next project. I am not sure what that will be yet though.

This kitchen remodeling job is taking a little longer then I thought it would, because I have changed it so much. Well, changed my mind about what I want so much is more like it. There are so many ways to do your kitchen that every time I find what I think I want, something else catches my eye and I change it again. I do have to stop that though because I need it finished already. No matter what I will be happy in the end because I have the satisfaction of knowing I did this myself.

Broke

You know you are seriously broke when you have to scrounge change to buy some groceries. I am so upset over this. I have no clue how I ended up this broke this week. I stayed to my budget and still somehow this happened. I don’t think my check was as much as it usually is. I have to check it as soon as I can. Until then, I am stuck at home with nothing to do.

Green

After extensive research and talking, I do believe the hubby and I are going to go solar. The rising costs of energy are taking it’s toll on every side of us. Add to that raising children who require that lots of energy be used to care for them and it gets even higher. There are so many programs to choose from or you can do it yourself. Solar is made easy with those who actively decide to do it. I have been watching this turn in society grow exponentially over the past ten years. When people first stared going solar, everyone either looked at them like they were nuts, or said it was cool and expensive.

That is so not the case now. Solar has been getting cheaper and cheaper over the years and quite frankly smarter now then ever before. The move to green energy is becoming like a snowball effect, gathering momentum and growing bigger and bigger. The time has come for us to join in and do our part to help the energy crisis as well as help ourselves in the process. I am looking forward to the change and I hope I can convince my family to follow me.
