Powerless

I have the feeling I'm powerless. I waited hours for a person to show up to look at our house today. They never showed up. It happen last night too. One person canceled because they don't like our neighborhood. Another called and said they had car trouble. It's frustrating. You clean and wait, clean and wait. We have mostly seen real-estate agents who say they have buyers. Still, no buyers. I don’t believe them anymore…they are a pack of wolves! Frustrating! And so I'll clean and wait for 2 more people scheduled to come tonight. And believe me I know I should not give up hope... I'm tried, and I just want this whole thing to be over! I wish I could get on a plane to Thailand and forget the whole thing! But we don't live by feeling! So I will clean and wait, and clean and wait , as long as it takes! I think it’s hardest to fight the little foxes that continue to bite at you. I feel so tired from the small problems. Vacations are so great because they take you away from the daily trouble, and help you gain perspective. I will just have to find that perspective at home. The kids have vacation next week. We can not afford to go anywhere but at least we can sleep in!

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.
