Well, that hurt!

I was hoping a good night's rest would help, but I was wrong.  I feel drained this morning.  I guess I should make some coffee and take a hot shower to ease these aching muscles!

Yesterday was a beautiful day.  So nice I managed to put Morgan's basketball goal together, trim the hedges, and had the kids help me move the couch and a bookcase upstairs. 

We skipped the chiropractor.  I really really thing we need it, but don't think I can continue to afford it unless I start making some money.  Today I'm supposed to go out and do a little merchandising.  Hope what I've gotten myself into isn't a scam.  Then, I need to get all my time sheets turned in for my private case... Go to the bank... mail off some packages...  when does it end??  LOL

Well, I had planned on finishing up what I could in the living room, but with these aching muscles I might not get to.  I could go back to bed, but then I'd never get up and I have too much to do as far as paperwork and such goes.

That took a while...

Had to switch companies for me cell phone and internet providers as I had no service at my new home.  It took me 4 times installing and uninstalling and reinstalling the silly software to make it work properly and even now I'm not sure that it is as it still has never reported being connected.  BUT IT IS!!??

So, not typing much tonight as I'm tired and its late! All the kids are finally in bed, too.

Was really enjoying this weather!  This morning it was just right for working in the yard at 630AM!!  Not looking forward to the possible snow we having moving in. 

Well, Have a blessed night everyone!

Trash digging, WHAT?

People are weird!  Well, the ones that throw away coupons that are printed so they can use RIGHT THEN!!  It's not like they have to be clipped and saved, so why is it easier to throw them away then to hand them back to the cashier?  I don't know. 

Why am I saying this??  Because I had called the local bowling alley to see about any specials they might be having or if they offer discounts for groups such as Girl Scouts.  They said they didn't really, but during the day is cheaper than at night and there is coupons for BOGO on the back of the receipts a the local grocer.  This was perfect since I was heading there anyway!

Well, while making my purchase I noticed the garbage can just beneath the machine that spits out the receipts and coupons.  It was FULL of receipts and coupons that people have just tossed in there or forgot and the attendant tossed them.  Yay for me!!  Right on top was several receipts with the bowling coupons I needed AND several coupons for FREE stuff!! 

Seriously, why do people cry and complain about the cost of everything when they are throwing their money away??

Where To Start??

Well, I guess here is a good a place as any!  I recently moved into my house.  We've been renovating for a while, try just over 3 years!  All that time we were living with my parents.  Yes, two room plus one adult a dog and three kids makes for a tight squeeze!  Not to mention, also living in that house are my parents, their dog and my brother. 

So...  with the move I also decided to cut back to only 'as needed' at my job and then took on a new job with a former employer.  Big mistake!  I've come to realize I'm in the wrong career field. We've always done things as holistically as possible at home and to give people medications (chemicals/toxins) for a living is like living a lie or being a fraud.  I just can not do it!  Luckily, I had enough money saved up that I could quit the second job and try to revitalize my home business. I've been with a direct sales company since 2003 and LOVE IT, but never really had the time nor motivation to do it full time.  Well, now IS that time!

My oldest child, Morgan, has decided he's in charge of planning our garden.  It is to be a nice large year round garden.  He's only 10 but he has already drawn out plans and been out there to measure where its going to go!  My daughter, the middle one, wants to be in charge of the animals with the exception of Harry (the dog), he's Morgan's!

Well, as life would have it, I have to get to cleaning and house work!  Will post more later!
