Trouble with a P

I had to pick Sarah up from kindergarten, then Philip from school, then Jessica from school. I have 5 kids and they all go to a different school! Everything was going well. Sarah was playing nicely with a toy. Philip kept trying to steal the toy. I warned Philip to leave Sarah alone. He would not listen. Sarah hit him hard with the toy. I took the toy away. Sarah then screams at the top of her lungs for the next 15 Min's home. I could not give the toy back because she can not hit other kids with toys. Philip has this winning smile on his face. He is so happy to get Sarah into trouble. I sat Philip down, and gave him a good tongue lashing. Then I sent him to his room, finally I took away his TV time. He has been starting allot of fights lately. He thinks it is so fun to push Thomas and Sarah, and get them into trouble. Not anymore! If you start it, you are in as much trouble as the one who finishes it! I need an Aspirin!

Oh my! That is such a familiar scene in our house. Can I wash that aspirin down with a beer :)

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
