ATTITUDE!!!




My Son Thomas has a bad attitude. He always rolls his eyes at me in a very disrespectful way. He gets this look like he is either very constipated or has been sucking on lemons. What do you do when you are always greeted with such a bad attitude? He use to be such a happy kid. Now he gets moody, mean spirited, and acts like the world owes him something! He is almost 10 years old. I sure hope he out grows this rotten attitude.
The boys got to visit a rock quarry today. It was part of our cities summer vacation program. They even got to see part of a mountain blown up. When they returned home I got a 30 second report about the day. I'm sorry, but what is this economy of word thing? Is that a male thing? Anyway, I got 30 seconds of enthusiasm, and then back to the grumpy attitude. "Mom, what's for lunch"? and "Mom, can I play on the computer"? The computer is a "no"! It only contributes to the sour attitude! Anyone who doubts man has a fallen nature should spend a few hours at my house. How boys grow to be men of honor and good character is truly a work of God! I pray God does that work in the lives of my sons.

I love Calvin and Hobbes. I wanted at least one Calvin of my own.

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
