Well my ex mother in law was supposed to pick up my kids for the weekend through the first of the year. She didn’t show up, AGAIN! This is like the fourth time she hasn’t shown when she was supposed to come get them. They are so disappointed. I am really tired of her disappointing my children like this. It’s just not right! They deserve better treatment from her. It really shouldn’t surprise me at all that she does this. After all, her son does it to his kids all the time. She didn’t even call to say she wasn’t coming. I had to call her house to find out where she was and I could here her in the back ground when they said she was sick and sleeping. So they lied on top of it. I am really angry with her, and don’t see myself getting over anytime soon. Next time she calls and asks for the kids, I will just tell her don’t bother since you won’t show up to pick them up anyway and hang up.
Dental practice for sale
I got to help my cousin evaluate a dental practice for sale. Believe it or not it was a lot of fun and I learned a tremendous amount about the process. The practice wasn’t very far away from here and this means I learned a lot about my area as well. There were things I didn’t know about the demographics for this area, which was really cool to find out. I found a few online courses for the classes that I want to take. Now I just have to find out about the credits and funding for it. I cannot believe how much I am looking forward to this! I am really excited!
Build your own Cob home
I am glad that these skills are coming back today. Learning to build a cob home is relatively easy and is amazingly cheap to do. If your friends help you, they learn new techniques that are really helpful to them as well. It is a very green way to build and is very sturdy in comparison to some of the materials that are used today for most wood frame houses. I have been studying this for a while now and would really like to try it someday. I may start with a cob outbuilding for my property, or something like that. We shall see.
Cleaning done
I have spent most of the day cleaning up after the holiday celebration. I even took down the Christmas tree a bit early. I just wanted it all done and out of the way this year. Usually I leave it up until after the new year, but not this time. I had the kids all help me and we got it done lickity split. It certainly made it much easier and I was able to pack everything away much more carefully then normal. Last year the kids were already back in school and when I took it down, I just tossed it in the boxes and had done with it. I promised myself that I would not do that this year and managed to keep my promise to myself. Woo Hoo! That makes me a very happy person. Hope everyone has a great day!
Dental practice valuation
Dental practice valuation is basically a marketing strategy to see what a dental practice is worth so that it can be sold or evaluated for potential sale. I am learning so much about marketing lately from my cousin. I have found that I really like it and am seriously considering going back to school to take some marketing classes. I already have a business degree which covered a small part of marketing when I got it, but a more advanced class on it would definitely be a good thing. I am sure that it would look really good on my resume, and I will learn something that really interests me to boot. I am definitely looking into it.
Holiday weather
Gosh there is some crazy holiday weather out there. I can see on the weather channel there is blizzards up north and tornadoes down south. We have been getting between rain and snow off and on today with no accumulation of course. The kids are not happy about that either. They want to play in the snow and that will not be possible. I am kind of hoping that we will have one good snow this year. God knows we haven’t had any for the last winter season. We barely got an inch last year. I am glad we aren’t getting that blizzard though.
A little fun
Have you ever been to a psychic? I have and they can be a lot of fun. A small fair came into town a couple of days ago and we walked around it for a few hours this morning. They had a fortune teller tent, so my friend Sally and I decided to go in and see what she had to say. It was enlightening. I had my Tarot cards read and then she looked at our palms and gave us all kinds of information about ourselves. I thought it was totally cool.
When we got home, I decided to look up psychics online and do a little research. They are a lot more popular then they used to be. You can get readings from lots of different sources and ways. From phone calls to online tarot programs, there is no limit to it. I didn’t realize that this kind of spirituality had gone mainstream. I think it is really cool though. I will have to get my cards read more often, because the woman who did it, hit the nail on the head. Everything she said was true. I am definitely encouraged to try it again, that is for sure.
Space
I found this for the kids. They love seeing pictures from space. We like to visit the NASA site a lot too. They have a section just for kids, to play learning games all related to science. I think it is a great interactive tool for teaching them. I hope you like the pic as much as the kids do.
Used cars in Irving
If you are looking for used cars in Irving, they shouldn’t be that hard to find. With the trend towards green energy and living, people are selling or trading in their old cars for the newer green cars. That is actually good for the rest of us, who prefer a pre-owned car with lower prices. There are a lot of used cars in the market now to choose from. I am sure that finding one will be a snap. My honey found me a great SUV for my Christmas present and I absolutely love it. I has everything I would have chosen for myself. I think he did an awesome job car shopping.
Up cycling Goodwill buys
Neat little ideas to spruce up those Goodwill and yard sale finds. It really doesn’t take a lot to make an object fresh and new again. You don’t even have to use it for it’s original purpose either. Just be creative and you can make over anything you find and use it to decorate your home with original style. Hope you like her ideas!
