Going to bed mad


I really hate going to bed mad at Juergen. In over 16 years of marriage, I think I've only done it maybe two or 3 times. I just can not do it! Well, I sent the boys to bed with a kiss, and a prayer. I also basically warned them to go to sleep. Thomas has school early in the morning. About one hour later, I'm in their room, yelling at them to go to sleep "or else". They go to sleep, but I'm angry. I hate it! Why is it they go through these stages where they just always "push it"! They can not live with any boundaries of obedience. They always need to cross over into trouble. Thomas especially lately keeps making a mess of things. They had a water fight today, for example. All was well and good. Then Thomas got hold of the water hose and over did it! He sprayed Sarah and Philip, who were standing at our front door. He kept spraying them. The water sprayed into the house. There where over 2 inches of water flooding my whole hallway. Are all boys bulls that have no self control...breaking everything in the china shop? My house is no china shop (Thank God), but the boys act like wild animals often! Is it a stage? How do I handle it? I do not like yelling all the time, taking away privileges, and making treats (and I always follow through on my treats). I also really hate going to bed angry!

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.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
