Five

Today I worked on this pile of papers and other things I didn't know what to do with. Mostly it was papers that needed to be filed and other kinds of things that I just wanted to keep. I am a big fan of paper. I get that from my dad. I have a really hard time just throwing something away if I see a future use for it. Plus I recycle. I'm a big fan of recycling. I recycle everything. I just cleaned out a closet just so I could store some rummage sale stuff in it. I'm determined to have a rummage sale before I bring all my stuff to Goodwill or the Salvation Army. But it probably won't happen until next spring. But that's ok. Perhaps by then, I'll be in a new house with a nice garage. A garage is my husbands dream. As much as I'd love to have one, I've lived without one my whole life, I could probably keep going without one.

My dad has announced that he and his wife have sold their home and they are moving. I don't remember where they said they were going, but they have sooooooo much stuff. Furniture, housewares, nick nacks, just stuff stuff stuff. It's incredible. I hope I don't have that much stuff when I get to be their age. Ughh, just the thought of it is frustrating to me. I'm so glad it's not my problem. My sister offered to store their stuff at her house. My other sister suggested that there would probably be furniture to be given away. I doubt it though because it's all hairlooms.
I wouldn't want that anyway. I don't have a big enough or nice enough home to put it in. I have enough already.

Spammers, what's up with that? I have posted several posts and I have gotten so many spam comments. It's annoying. But what can you really do about them?

Did I mention that we are going camping this weekend? I am so excited. I just can't wait. I'm going with my whole family. It should be pretty exciting since we've never done anything like this before. I just hope that we all get along.

My hubby and I are having steak for supper tonight. Yum!! I decided this really early in the evening, but then we didn't go and get the supplies until much later so now it's dark out, and he's cooking in the dark. I feel kind of bad for him doing that. But once it's done it will be so good. We are having all kinds of great food. Corn on the cob, potatoes, cucumbers and I think that's it. It should be so yummy!!

I worked today, and it was a pretty good day. I got off at 2:30 and there was a girl that wanted me to stay until 4:00p.m. but I really didn't want to. I hardly ever get off at a decent time. I was surprised when I got home as my husband wasn't home yet, and that meant overtime. Praise God for that. We need it!!

Well, suppers almost ready. Time for me to go eat like a Queen. Have a great night.

I'm getting ready to go to work. I'm so tired today. I hope I wake up. I am listening to some Christian music~my favorite CD. I had a woman from my church put it together for me. I'm so tired because my husband and I were up so late last night talking to some good friends and time just got away from us. I had to drop something off at their house, and what little bit of time we had turned into a lot of time. We didn't even get home in time to put the kids down to bed. I enjoy doing that so I missed that.

I'm a server at a restaurant and I hope today is busy enough. My husband and I could use the financial help.

I had a Tastefully Simple party here at my house the other day and only 3 people showed up. I was so bummed. My parties have been flops, but I thought that it was because I was having parties of the same old stuff but from different companies, so this time I decided to try food, but it still didn't matter. I am supposed to have a Homemakers Idea show in October but I cancelled due to poor turnout. I just don't want to have another party for a little while. Maybe I'll do it in spring or summer. Or maybe I won't. ~E

Ok, I think I've got it. Today we spent the day shopping. It was fun. We bought some stuff for my home based business and for my church. We also bought a gift card for a wedding present. We were looking and looking at something to buy when the associate at the store we were shopping in suggested that we just buy the gift card. It was so great that she suggested that. We weren't finding anything that we liked as a gift.

We are going camping next weekend. I'm so excited. My mother-in-law purchased her own sleeping bag and she also bought this really nice grill stove. My husband is really excited about that. Right now he's opening the box and he's going to check it out. Actually he's watching me type this, so I have to be careful what I say;). There is so much to have/get ready for camping. When we are all done, we'll be pros:).

I just checked my good friends website, and she was talking about this new website that she went on, but she's not sharing the name of the website, and I really want to check it out but I can't find it. Even with all the information she's providing I'm finding it hard to solve the puzzle.

My kids are taking a nap, or at least trying to. My one child just will not be laid to rest. He's just soo tired. My other child fell asleep in the carseat on the way home. She has been tired all day. Although they were both tired, and missed the right nap time, they have been so good.

I have several things I want to get done today, but I'm afraid time will get away from me. Ughh!! But that's ok. There will be so many more days to do the things that I want do. :)
My husband and I have a meeting at church tonight. I wish we didn't have to go, it's going to be a long meeting, but we must do this. It will be ok.

What's this??

Welcome~I'm so new here, I don't even know what it is that I am doing. Is there a help desk that I can go to? I just don't get it. I had a friend come over and she did everything for me, but I must not have learned a thing. This is so frustrating. Then if I want to write something about my life, some kind of complaint that I have there, are just too many eyeballs so I can't. Maybe this just isn't my thing. Well, I have a lot of cleaning to do today for my party. I must go.
