Normal


I was up early with the boy's. They got off to school, and I made coffee and did dishes. Then I eat some breakfast with Juergen, Sarah, and Nicole. They all left for school and work. Then it was the dog's turn to go out. Then I fed Jessica, cleaned her room and gave her a shower. Her head is very dry. I'm trying a new shampoo. She is sleeping. Jessica will start school again after the Fall vacation. I am hoping she will manage the transition well. She is pretty tired of staying home. She always wants to get out of the house. Juergen picked up a prescription against anxiety. We will need to try her on this (and I don't know the name). The school will not accept her unless we try medication. She scratches the other students when she is afraid. Sarah plays her first soccer game this evening. Nicole won't be home so I have to bring Jessica with me. And today I'm just doing the "normal" stuff. Laundry, cleaning, shopping, cooking. Nothing to interesting. But I'm fine with normal. It’s in the quite house I can dream and pray.

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
