back to school



The kids went back to school today. Sarah goes to school on friday. I had to sleep in Jessica's room last night. I put a mattrus on the floor, in front of the door. She was just so excited. She would have sat on the stairs all night...just waiting for the school bus. As it is, she had a restless night. I'm pretty tired! I know, what is new! I do look forward to the quite. I look forward to the time and space needed to catch up on the laundry, and de-clutter my house. It wasn't the best summer of our lives. It was loud, cold and dark. It's still cold and dark outside...but at least it's not so loud. I stll don't know what's best concerning Thomas' school. I still want to see if I can get him a test day, or test week. I talked with a friend of mine. Her son went to the Christian school. It really was great for him. He graduated and is now doing wonderfully! Thomas doesn't want to change, and Juergen would rather not force it. I just want to test it for a few days because I still have no peace about where he is at. I do not want to look back 5 years from now with regret about this. It would not be so hard to make this change...but is it the right thing to do? We need wisdom.

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
