The winter was so mild, that the bugs are really bad this year. Fly’s, horse fly, deer fly’s, mosquitoes, ticks and fleas are horrible. I decided to buy some horst fly sheets for the horses. They will help keep the pests from annoying them or causing sores on them. Since they are light weight, they wont over heat them either. I know that the horses will be more comfortable then they were last summer.
Fashion and me
I have a problem with high fashion because it doesn’t have anything for the everyday woman. Although, more and more we are seeing full figured women modeling clothing for women who have had a few kids and still want to be stylish. The big fashion magazines haven’t really caught on yet, because I rarely see a model on the front cover that I can relate with. Consequently, I don’t buy those magazines. I cannot figure out why they don’t understand that there are more of us full figured women then there are skinny ones. We spend more money per year then the other demographic does, so why do they keep ignoring us? This woman is tired of not being represented by the fashion moguls. Get with the program people, we are here and you are losing money by not serving our needs.
That is all for this rant today. =)
For my son
I found some alvarez guitars for sale online for my son. His old one has seen better days and he really needs a new one. He has been playing for a long time and has gotten really good. I am going to continue to encouorage him in his musical career, because as a parent that is my job. More then that though, he actually has a chance of making it in his chosen field.
Errands
I am about to go run some errands before the kids get home from school. Between the grocery store and various other places I have to go, it will take a good two hours to do even though I don’t need that much. I could buy just about everything at one place, but it is so much cheaper to do it the other way. Even with the gas I spend, it is cheaper to go to multiple stores. Oh well, off I go.
College books
Well we found a place to order my nieces college books online. She will be able to visit one of their many stores when she gets to school, if she needs anything else. I am sure that she will, the professors always add something or another, but with any luck she is covered. I am so proud that my niece is going off to college. It makes me feel a little bit old though. Seems like yesterday, she was a little thing playing in my closet and trying on my shoes with her little feet. I think I am going to tear up now.
Post office
It’s not often that I need to go to the post office anymore. It made me realize that I must not be the only one who finds them pretty much redundant. I am kind of saddened to think that this is the reason so many of them are closing or cutting their hours. I feel bad for the people who work there and are being affected by this change. I hope that they can find ways to compensate for the loss of hours or jobs.
The eldest
Well my eldest son needs some new Guitar Effects for his electric guitar. He has been playing since he was about five years old and is really good. My brother started teaching him when he was just a little guy and he absolutely fell in love with it. Of course, now it is a bit more costly as he has progressed to more sophisticated equipment. It won’t be long before he has his own band out in my garage, driving the neighbors crazy.
Busy busy
Gosh I have been so busy lately, that I don’t know if I am coming or going. It seems like all I do is run errands and take care of sick kids. I really wish the schools would clean better, because I am tired of these kids coming down sick. Between the doctors visits, trips to the pharmacy, trips to the store for more supplies and then the normal stuff as well, I am surprised that I haven’t gotten sick from being run down. It really isn’t easy to take care of all of this stuff. Sometimes, I wish I had a regular job and someone else stayed at home to take care of it all. Ah well, it is what it is.
Order time again
As you know, I have a small job with a friends hotel. I do the inventory and such, as well as help with the books. It doesn’t take a lot of time per week, just a few hours a day. It is made that much easier for Hotel Supply, when the staff is so well trained. The books are probably the most difficult, because occasionally something is left out. I never have a problem finding the discrepancies though. Georgia Hotel Supplies Online make ordering everything we need easy as can be.
In addition to the hotel, I have to take care of ordering the Hotel Bar Supplies. The bar is relatively easy to order for as they don’t really have that many things I need to order for them. I should be home in a few hours, just in time for the kids to get off of the bus. I do have a few things I need to update and tell you guys about, I will get to it then.
Broken decanter
Oh no! My decanter for my coffee pot just crashed to the floor and broke. Now I have to look for bunn coffee makers parts online. I am sure they won’t be hard to find, but I won’t have a replacement for a week. I guess I can go get some instant to get me awake long enough in the mornings, so I can run down to the convenience store for a large cup of good coffee. At least the store is close to the house.
