Over a Month...

Well, its been well over a month since I last posted on here.  Been Super busy!! 

My garden...  is still not planted.  It has nothing but rained every other day for weeks!  We are once again under flood warnings!  So irritating, but its God's choice, not mine!

 That's all for now, life is calling....

What's next?

Good question!!

Well, this past weekend was Easter.  I didn't spend the money on meaningless junk and candy like I usually do.  The kids didn't complain, they didn't even question why the Easter Bunny didn't come this year!!  When I asked them what happens on Easter, they both said 'its about Jesus'.  So then we discussed what is was about Jesus that made Easter so special.  And that was that.  Not a peep about candy!!

I've spent most of the week cleaning out my basement.  Going through boxes, sorting clothes into two piles: fall/winter and spring/summer.  I've so far only posted my maternity and nursing clothes and a few baby items on campbellyardsales.com and within just a few days half of it is accounted for or sold!  I think I found a new hobby!!!  I know I need to get all this 'junk' posted and out of my house, but its overwhelming when I look at home must stuff there is!  It takes me a little while to get all the photos taken, send, loaded, transferred, and the ad posted!! I'm sure it will be worth it in the end!

Tomorrow, I'm supposed to be going to a FREE Dave Ramsey seminar thing at a local church.  I totally forgot until just now. I have a chiropractor appointment tomorrow and we usually go to that after the kids get home from school.  Not sure if we'll have enough time to do both.  Might have to pick the kids up from school a little early.  We'll see....

As for my garden, Dad did get the tractor up and working, but he's not going to disk my land until he gets a fence up at his house.  I really really hope its not too late to start a garden.  I already put some strawberry plants in hanging pots, and I started radish, carrots, celery, tomatoes, peas, beans, and mint seeds with my daughter and niece last week.  Most of them have already sprouted!!  I hope I have a place to put them soon or I might have to put a few small patches around the yard for gardens!  LOL 

Got the lawn cut on Sunday.  And yesterday I signed my son up to cut a lady's yard every two weeks for two months this spring!  He was totally stoked!!  He's going to get $20 each time he cuts the grass there.  I plan to help him as it will be done with a push mower!! 

I've started searching for my daughter a puppy.  We can not afford much if anything, but we are looking for a poodle mix of some type.  It needs to be small and non-shedding.  Plus it needs to be good with other dogs and animals as we already have a mini schnauzer.  He misses his friend since we've moved.  He used to play all day and now he just lays around looking sad. 

I guess that's it for now!  I have to get to work!  Plan to start a few new (old) routines and they do not include sitting on the computer all day!!  :)

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??
