It Rained

Is it wrong that I am loving this new blog... I am just keeping it simple at the moment, waiting til the journals are gone and then I'll have more time to play with all these template choices.... I am so curious how some have different wallpaper backgrounds that I have been seeing around... It is so nice to have everything right on the blog or just a click away in dashboard... and I have not had more than twenty emails, lol.... the alerts were very stressful to me, lol... now right on my blog if I follow the blog then it tells me when they last updated.... I am concerned about how much room we have for photos though... it says we only are allowed 1024mb and I have already used 3mb between this blog and my photo blog.... I like clicking on as a follower in others blogs, I'm hoping not to be such a lurker, lol... so even if I don't comment, they know I am there reading.... So far I am up to 51 blogs though, lol... but then I had over 125 set to alerts in jland...


It actually rained... I didn't see or hear it but everything was wet when I woke this morning... of course didn't notice at first as we were distracted by all the ants... stupid ants, don't they see all their dead friends, don't they get a clue... no, just send in more soldiers to be defeated... this time they were in the kitchen in Raisin's bowl, to which Raisin was meowing me his complaints... so cleaned up the ants, hubby made breakfast of eggs, ham and English muffins.... had a talk with son3, he got in a bit of trouble on Thursday, pushing and goofing around in line with his friends... of course the trouble got worse as he forgot to bring home the note on Thursday so phone call from teacher on Friday and then she sent home two notes... I'm not sure though if she was implying that son3 didn't bring home the note on purpose or she was just frustrated that he forgot it... Hubby will talk to her on Monday... She doesn't want to talk with me, I'm so frustrated with all this zero tolerance at school and the immediate call the parents about every little thing... Son3 did lose his recess and fun Friday at school and no video games this weekend, so moving on once again...

Also talked to son2 about him wanting to go paint balling with his friends next weekend and raising a cow, lol... We're like can't you start with a chicken or a rabbit.... He said he has always wanted to raise a cow since son1 was in high school... Ok when has he ever said this before last week, lol.... Meanwhile he is waiting for his friend to call so they can hangout...

Hubby has been off to work for three hours now and here I still sit.... still in my jammies, lol... I am half way through the laundry though and have kept up on the dishes all week... really need to do some bills and paperwork though and fill the bird feeders and do a bit of straighten up... Clean up son3's room a bit and then make my macaroni dish for Martha... Tomorrow it's back to work but just for a few hours to set the ad and then we are off to the Big Fresno Fair...
Happy Journaling...

I'm Here



I have a vacation day today, yay!! Hubby and I got the boys off to school, came home and I vented on hubby a bit, as I didn't have a chance to vent lately, he said it was ok, I hadn't done it in a while.... We had breakfast, I trimmed a few roses, opened the two new blogs, hubby got ready for work, made lunch, went off to work and here I am....

Now to sum up what's been happening quickly as I already have to pick up son3 in just a few minutes... where has the day gone....

Son2's school opened their new Swine Facility last week... Son2 wants to raise a cow for next year's Fair, just a $1000 and the school will give you a loan...

I cut my PG&E bill in half just by upping the temp in the house from 78degrees to 80degrees and 82degrees when no one is home.... $400 electric bill two months in a row is not fun...

The bank that manages our home loan was bought out due to the economic troubles... waiting to see what that means... still want to get into a locked in interest rate....

The Big Fresno Fair has started and we will be going on Sunday!

We have no hours at work... Either I or the supervisor are floor coverage on top of all our duties and then the night person comes in and that is it... I don't think I play well with others as we have a person temporarily helping us and I guess I said something that hurt his feelings and we had a bit of an altercation... I have since apologized and tried to smooth ruffled feathers... Must have thicker skin if working retail....

We have not seen the kittens in days... hubby is sad... I'm glad as I didn't want to have to choose between the three... and now I know hubby does want another kitten for Raisin... just hope the kittens are safe... they were starting to get friendly and we could pet them so maybe someone else took them in...

We have been overtaken by ants... I have ants in the kitchen, master bathroom, boy's bathroom, family room and son3's bedroom... so I have been busy all week battling ants.... Grrrrrr......

Gasp! It is supposed to rain tonight... A 70% chance even...

I was doing so good with the crunches and weight lifting and then got all thrown off schedule this week... I'm back on schedule with the crunches and even did more to make up, now just have to get back on the weightlifting...

Ghost Whisperer starts back up tonight... Will miss Moonlight though, as it was cancelled.... Still need to watch Smallville and I think I taped over a Bones from a couple of weeks ago, I knew there was a Bones we hadn't watched yet....

Ok, lots of chores on my to do list and time to pick up the boys.....

Happy Journaling....
