Day 20

It was a long day so far. I took Philip and Sarah for a doctor’s visit. Both had to have shots. Philip had to get his blood drawn. I have a pile of visits from specialists to go to. We are trying to figure out why Philip can not learn.
I'm having a battle with Thomas over homework. It took him hours to finish his homework today. He basically plays Lego instead. I told him I may need to get rid of the Lego. I don't really want to do that. He already lost his TV & computer time this week. The weather is very cold outside. He would really have a hard time (and so would I) if he lost his Lego. Both boys are going through a challenging time right now. If it's only going to get worse I don't want to know. We did get the homework done before Papa got home, so the Lego is safe for now. I thank God for the end to a very long day! I thank God for the grace to get it done. I thank God most days are much nicer then this!

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
