One of those days!


We have hand workers over to fix our window shades. We had to clear the clutter (far too much clutter) away from the windows so these men could work. Sarah had a temper tantrum as she woke up. She was still upset I wouldn't let her sleep in Philip and Thomas' room last night. She tends to keep them up. I got off to a really sour start. Jessica is home on Tuesdays anyway. I had to watch her. The dog was barking. Juergen was complaining about the mess. Finally the phone rings. It's Thomas' teacher. He has not been doing his math homework for the past week. I of course had asked him everyday, "did you do all your home work". He lied. So they were keeping him after school to do math. His class teacher had written me a note, but he of course made sure I did not receive the note. I'm here trying to calm down before Thomas gets home. I don't want to over react. I think he has Attention Deficit Disorder. He is smart, be his attention span is very poor. We are on a waiting list to see a doctor about this. In the mean time there has to be some hard punishment for lying about the home work. I love my kids(say it Amy...you love your kids)! Someday they will make me very proud. Today has to be put into context. God grant me wisdom. God please give me calm...my head is pounding and I haven't even come to the fun part!

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.
