Flybabies April 16th

Well, I ended up having another snow day today! My own kids do have school though. So they are bumming and I am looking forward to a quiet day alone, which never happens! A nice way to end my spring break.

Have a great day everyone!

Ack! I couldn't figure out which one to post on! LOL!

It actually tried to snow here on Friday! And was brrrrr, cold! But finally (knock on wood) it appears spring is here and hopefully will remain so. The lowest it gets all week is 36, and 68 is the lowest high.

Fairly unproductive weekend. The kid I had clean the chicken house only did half the job (and I only paid him for half. I don't pay by the hour, I pay by the job). So I still have 8 chickens living in my garage. DH decided to work cows on Saturday (branding, dehorning, immunizing, castrating). Taught dd9 to use the sewing machine. Did baking yesterday morning for a family gathering at an aunt/uncle's house in the afternoon. I guess the one thing I got accomplished was the kitchen clean before I went to bed.

This morning I got the kids up and off to school (and dealt with a nasty dd9-who-thinks-she-is-16). Went into the school to warn teachers about said child (and encouraged them that if she continued the attitude with them to send her straight to the principle). Helped DH set up a watertank and fix some fence to turn the branded and now weaned calves into (we can't sell them til the brands are at least 2 weeks old). Called the contractor to tell him it's a go on my kitchen remodel.

I hope to get some laundry done and clean bathrooms, but not sure if I will be able to (due to the stock tank taking most of the day to fill, don't know if I will have water in the house most of the day or not). Will probably spend much of the day doing bills/checkbook/bookkeeping chores instead. And any time Drew wants to go outside I'll spend tilling the garden area so I can plant May 1st. Tonight we have a 4-H meeting.

Good Morning!

Busy weekend here with bday party,meeting, and concert

Andrea-guess what arrived at my library on hold for me? The new Jodi Picoult book. I can't wait to read it!

Our back porch is a glass enclosed sunroom but in winter it is where DH stacks wood for our woodburning fireplace. So it gets very messy with wood debris and such. Since one wall is now completely free of a woodpile, I will clean that side up first. The other side is pretty low and hopefully will be empty soon so I can get that one cleaned up as well. C'mon Spring! I also need a slightly warmer and drier day so I can start dealing with our veg. garden. The weeds need to be pulled,soil tilled etc so we can be ready to plant around Mother's Day. The weather has not cooperated so far with all the spring snow we have gotten. Sigh......

Hope you guys have a great day today!

Heidi

Well, we did not get as much snow as I thought we would. Sure is wet and messy out though. I'm in the same situation as you Heidi- just too cold and icky to do much in the way of spring chores. Enjoy the book and let me know how it is - I really want to read it. I am reading In the Company of the Courtesan now - good so far.

Thanks for moving my post over here, Lynn!

Jenny-9 going on 16,huh? Oh Boy, I can't wait for those tween years with my DD.... DS12 is already as tall and mature as any 16 year old boy,so I will have my hands full with him too no doubt...bleh

Got that back porch looking real good and homemade chicken soup is simmering on the stove now.

Tomorrow is busy:DD school concert,paid organizing work, and an LDA meeting after dinner. Get me off the hamster wheel NOW. I function well with lots going on but prefer less hectic days.

Morning!!

DH and I spent the day in the big town yesterday, so nothing at home was accomplished.

Today I'm working on the checkbook, some other business things, and laundry. Supposed to be in the upper 70's today, believe I will water the lawn as well.

Good Morning!

Not too bad of a day ahead. DD school has a book swap every year. Kids bring in up to 5 books and swap them for up to 3 books. The remaining ones go to various charities. Her class goes today so I will see her at lunchtime.

Hope you all have a good day today

Heidi

TGIT!! LOL!

Heidi, what a great idea! I think books breed in this house (along with the Walmart bags and papers).

Speaking of which, the Scholastic Book Fair is at our school this week. Think I'll go by it today and see if there is anything I can't live without.

Big news for us today: We bought a new camper! We have been looking off and on for a few years, but they are so expensive! It had rained Monday, so DH had the day off and we wanted to see if the ones damaged in the Clovis tornado had been marked down alot (as it turned out, the owner still hadn't heard back from the insurance place. MOst of the damage was windows blown out). But we happened to swing by a place in our town and they had one almost brand new they had just marked down. It's perfect for us, the price was right, so we jumped on it. We bring it home tomorrow! It's a 2005 28ft. 5th wheel, with bunkbeds in a room for the kids (the girls), nice kitchen, sleeper sofa, dinette (folds down for another bed), tub/shower, entertainment center, and tons of storage.

Sooo, one of my projects for the weekend is move out of the old camper into the new one, and really clean up the old one so I can sell it.

This morning I have been baking. Two batches of brownies cooling now, 2 banana breads in the oven. For a bake sale at school today (Booster Club this week). I'll go by and work it during school lunches.

And there IS a God! Sanjaya is gone!! whoohoo!!!

And his name is Craig! See, he maintains this website, or "list," where you post stuff you want to sell or give away, then you set the stuff out in front of your house, and even though you think no one in their right mind would want this stuff (except you, since you've been hoarding it in the porch, garage or basement for 3 years), someone comes and whisks it away within hours!

Craig's List is changing my life!

As is my professional organizer. Honestly, 90 minutes with her and I am begging for mercy! But my porch is actually useable again. My living room is pleasant to sit in. My kids can get out their craft supplies *and* put them away properly.

Ahhhhhh, I have a long way to go, but the progress is sweet! Flylady would be so proud!

Shaun
www.redseahomeschool.wordpress.com

Finally, my TNH is back up! LOL!

Shaun, how cool with the professional organizer!

I spent all day yesterday doing laundry mostly and washing towels, sheets, and the pots and pans, etc from the old camper. DH brought the new one home last night, he and the three older kids slept out in it for fun.

Today, I have spent a good chunk of the day supervising the jr. high kid cleaning the chicken house (it's not as good as I had wanted it, but probably as good as it's going to get. Kids just don't want to work hard these days). Had a cow get out, had to lure her back in the pasture then fix the fence where she escaped. And moving into the new camper (IT'S SO COoooOLLL!!!). Oh, and I did 30 minutes on the treadmill today and walked 1.65 miles.

The wind is blowing like crazy today, storms supposed to be coming in this afternoon. We will see.

Good Afternoon!

Alert! Alert! Flybaby in need of urgent advice and suggestions from fellow flybabies!

Wanted: advice and suggestions for transition from part-time work to full-time employment.

I am changing jobs again. Insurance job wasn't right for me in a number of ways. My bosses (who are fellow church members) are pretty difficult to work with, she is so tightwadded (light in workroom has been out for 5 months b/c they are too cheap to replace; we have to dump our garbage - including kitchen garbage - and keep bag in can for at least a year regardless of smell; she wants us to recycle paper towels for reuse), and the most disturbing: some unethical practices that I do not want to be a part of. My new job is much more of my liking - office manager. It is a casual office (yea, no wardrobe changes), owner is a Christian and owner is family-friendly.

I turn in my notice tomorrow. I didn't do it Friday when I officially accepted the new job b/c bosslady was going to her daughter's house out of town this weekend for a baby shower & I really didn't want to ruin her weekend with her. I'll turn it in tomorrow.

So, my question is this: what do I need to do in the coming weeks to prepare for full time working? The last time I was full time, I was not a mother. If current employer wants me to work out full two notice, I'll have only a few evenings a week to really prepare (next two weekends are packed). If they let me just work until April 30 (to make an even month since they pay monthly and my co-worker is scheduled to be off 4/30), I am going to ask new employer to let me have 2-3 days off in between.

My biggest concerns are scheduling (I haven't been a really good flybaby lately)and meals. I think I need to go ahead and make a list of easy and/or fast meals and stock my kitchen with all ingredients. Also, utilize my crockpot to it's potential (I have two, fyi).

So, where should I start? I'm not looking to start a decluttering project, though I need to work on that as I go.

Some folks (my MIL included) think I am wrong to go full-time. But, DD is 7 and finishing first grade and she's gotten so grown-up acting and has her own activities. She is looking forward to staying in aftercare b/c so many of her friends do & that's about the only social time they get in a day. Also, I really do better with more things to do. The more open time I have, the more I waste.

OK, I've got to go get ready for church now. Thanks in advance!

Vonnie, congrats on the new job! However, I don't have any advice. LOL! Flylady used to have a page on Payroll SHES. Here it is:
http://www.flylady.net/pages/FlyBaby_PayRollshes.asp
I didn't read it, only found it for you.

Heidi, are you going to have a big garden this year?

Well, I walked 1.30 miles on the treadmill this morning, took a shower, and am waiting for hair to dry and kids to get their butts up.

Think I'm really going to get back into flylady again, too. I know, I know, I've said that before. My house isn't that messy, but cluttered still. I know one of my problems is this computer. I spend too much time at it. But it's so inviting just sitting there, and knowing I have friends on the other side of it, it just beckons to me! LOL!

I need to take better care of my body. I have gained 5 pounds since the week before Easter. Actually, that week I gained the 5 pounds. It seems the more I think about dieting the more I want to eat. LOL! But I have to do better.

Anyway, It's a new week ahead. Me and the kids going to church this morning (DH still cutting hay, and will be for at least another week or two). After church and while the kids are in SS, I'll go to Walmart and get groceries. And stuff for the garden. Time to get busy with that, looks like our last frost is gone, weather looks great for the next 10 days (lowest low in the 40's).

Have a great day!

Vonnie- so good to see you peeking in! Congrats on the new job. My advice would be to use mornings,lunches, and evenings to spread out all the things that used to get done at a different pace. Too avoid cramming all of those things into weekends(when everything is packed), I would allocate them throughout the week at the times mentioned above. For instance,scheduling appointments and DD activities can be done via email during lunch break,dinner could be in the crockpot in morning before you leave, or at least ingredients set up on counter to start when you come home. You can always throw laundry in before you leave and dry after returning home. You will get into a groove, so just give yourself a break when things don't go as easily as you thought. Use email and phone as much as possible to schedule stuff,saves gas and time overall. Good Luck!!

Heidi

I am *trying* to turn my notice in, but murphy's law is working against me. Bosslady left to go to doc-in-the-box while I was on the phone a minute ago & so I still haven't told her I have another job! I need to turn in my notice today because if I do have to work out two weeks, I want it to be an even two weeks. I am praying she'll either tell me I can go now or just work through 4/30 to make it an even month (we get paid monthly).

I really want to build in 2-3 days between jobs to get myself in order! I have a LOT to accomplish in a short time. I really want to start out on the right foot, with things organized at least partially. I worked on some menu plans this weekend, writing down easy, fast & crockpot stand-bys. I will get the ingredients for each listed and then make a big grocery run on payday next week to make sure I have it all on-hand.

I'm really excited about this new phase. I may be on here singing the blues in six months, though! My time to be at home some is over. I'm working until 3 now, so it's not that much different than full-time, really.

Well, I'd better run. Got a lot to do & still need to nab bosslady when she walks back in!

Unexpected trip to town this morning. Found 6 baby jackrabbits in my garden. I suspect the dog killed the mama (or ran her off) and he was after the babies. So, I had to go to the feed store for baby kitten bottle and formula to feed them. So, I have 8 chicks in the garage, 6 baby rabbits in a box in the house. Anything else? LOL!

Jenny,

I hand-raised four puppies whose mother's milk had gone bad. Started at day 4 and had to tube feed them. Graduated to bottle feed later. It is hard & time-consuming, but it is do-able. All four pups lived and were the fattest, healthiest we bred (and we bred them for 14 years).

I was trying to post some supportive comments for Vonnie this morning when my keyboard stopped working. Why? Well, the dog had knocked over a light box, which had knocked over a glass with some melted ice, which dripped into my keyboard unnoticed.

Now I am typing on a brand new keyboard!

Vonnie, the basic thing I was going to say is:
1. Trust your gut -- you can do this.
2. Food is key. In my world, if everyone is wearing decent clothes and eating decent food, everything is great and dust bunnies be damned!

Will be another windy day today. 25-35MPH sustained with gusts over 50MPH. Fun.

And another day to town. I saw the mama looking for her bunnies this morning, but there is no way I can put them out there without alerting the dog. Sooo, I'm off to Lowes to get a pre-built dog pen. It's needed anyway, I don't want to leave the dog overnight right now, he jumps the fence around the house. I'll feel better if he is penned up nights and when we are gone. So, that will be my day, town and putting together the pen.

Vonnie, I've hand raised kittens that way. Just not baby cottontails (did some research last night, they are cottontails, not jackrabbits as two people have told me). The actually look like baby rats. LOL! I can fit 4 of them in my hand at one time. FWIW, I had to bottle feed a horse for a while, too. I actually had to milk the mare! LOL! First time mama and didn't want the baby near here for a few days. She eventually got over it.

Good Evening!

Yesterday was DD bday,she is now 6. We gave her a bike without training wheels. She went up the driveway while I held her seat and then she got mad when she couldn't balance on her own. Plenty more of that to come before she figures out the whole thing as we all have done. We will have a family party here at home over the weekend,weather should be nice so all the kids can play outside while we adults talk and eat!

I'm around! I thought I had posted last night, but guess I didn't (my mind is going, I guess! LOL!).

Happy Birthday to your DD, Heidi!

Well, went all over frickin' Clovis yesterday to get the darn dog pen. I had called Lowes before I left to see if they had it, and they said, yes, the computer shows three in stock. Great! I hooked up a trailer. Drove 45 minutes. Got there. No, don't have it. Oops, sorry. Misunderstanding. They have 3 of the 4 panels it takes to build the thing (it should be sold as a kit, but apparently someone took it apart). After trying a few other place, got one. Got home. Set it up in the wind. Put the dog in. He got out.

hehehe, but DH and I have a plan. We are going to hook the electric fencer up to it after we get some rubber mats to line the bottom of the actual fence. And shock the piss out of him.

So, I put the baby bunnies back in the hole. I haven't checked on them because of alerting the escapee dog of their whereabouts. But I'll try later. IF I don't get blown away, because the wind is howling again today. Out of the north. It's chilly.

So, a good day to just do housework, right? I signed back up on Flylady and will tackle the emails in a minute. Have a great one!

Well, as you know I've turned in my notice at work. I am supposed to work thru 5/4. Yesterday boss (lady) tells me she wants me to cheat and do an online test for her. I told her no, that's cheating. She just smiled and said yes, but she needed me to do it because it's due 6/1 and she's have a hysterectomy 5/1 and I'm leaving here 5/4. Then boss (man) - her husband comes in this morning and says the same thing. Tells me I can do it on paper and then he'll do it online so I'm not cheating. Ugh, excuse me?

So, if they keep pushing this I'm gonna just tell them it's time for me to go when I'm being made to do something unethical.

Any thoughts? I am being really kind and gentle, but not letting him bully me. He is a big bully and is used to getting his way in everything. I think I'm hurting his male pride.

I'm sending this from Seattle.

What a glorious time we have had so far!
I have gone for a run or walk every day along Elliot Bay-Beautiful.
We went into the city and took the kids to Pike Place Market and the Pier. Had some yummy salmon and got some silly souveniers.
The kids and Dh went to the salmon ladder and locks to watch the boats and fish.
Yesterday we went to the Woodland Park Zoo, which was wonderful.
The boys have discovered a community center with tennis courts ard play every day.
Friday we go to Seattle center to do the Space Needle, Science Museum, and so on. Or we may go tour the Boeing plant.
It's pretty glorious to be far, far away from all the stressors.

Jo, you RAN 5 miles on your vacation!!?? Are you nuts! LOL! I'm having a hard time walking 1.5 on my treadmill!

I go to town to the dr. to have my IUD put in. We've decided to go that route rather than tubes/vasectomy. It's good for 5 years and in the long run ends up being cheaper than the pill (I pay 35/month for those).

Yesterday I did 2 loads of laundry (one was diapers, so the folding part was super easy--just shove them in the diaper stacker). Fixed the soaker hoses and staked them down in the garden. Watched the annual senior/faculty basketball game (very funny, and the faculty won by a landslide).

Ya'll have a nice day!

Have a great weekend

Heidi

CB, you killed me! LOL!!!! Too funny! Yeah, Vonnie! If they keep asking, do that! LOL! What is the test for, anyway?

I managed to get the living room/dining room picked up and vacuumed yesterday, as well as mopped the kitchen. I have a water leak by the kitchen sink (the faucet leaks when it's on, and now the gasket or caulking around the sink has gave out and the water goes under the cabinet. I'm not too worried about it, because soon (I hope) the guy is coming to gut and remodel my 45 year old kitchen.

I did 30 minutes on the treadmill this morning (which went by really quickly. Listening to Metallica helps time fly, I think!). Drinking my slimfast now. I showered first thing because the pump guy is back out to look at the well. I can't run two things of water at the same time (like one sprinkler and do laundry. And if the cows are in the corrals for water, forget doing anything, there is NO water for the house. It didn't used to be like this til the pump guy came out and "fixed" something a few months ago).

PODA to be determined. DD9 wants to do a sewing project for her 4-H stuff. I have got to make a door on the chicken coop and get those 8 chicks out of my garage. Because the guy remodeling my kitchen is also going to put doors on my garage so I can turn that into DH's music room/office/treadmill/weightroom/freezer room (well, it's already the last two. But I'm ready to get the 3 guitars, amp, CDs and table-that-serves-as-a-desk out of MY office so it can go back to being MY office/kids' toy room. LOL!

Hey, wanna know the best way not to have to do any dishes, mopping or laundry? Get my husband and the pump guy to work on your well! The 50 orso year old well gave out today and caved in. So now, I get to have no water til at least Tuesday night, but probably Wednesday, when someone can get out here and drill us a new one. Luckily, I asked DH first thing this morning to fill up the new camper with water, just in case. So, we can go out there to use the toilet, shower/baths, and do dishes or wash our hands. DH borrowed the village's fire truck to fill up the cattle and horses' water tanks, and will do that once or twice a day (good thing he has all the fire station keys!).

TADA: NADA. What can you do with no water! LOL!

I actually thought about that one myself, CB. The topic has been dropped by the bosses, it appears (at least for the time being). Jennye, it is a course that the insurance company we represent requires that the broker takes. She has had one year to do it. Being the mistress of all procrastinators, she hasn't done it and it's due 6/1. Well, now she is having all sorts of problems health-wise and has a hysterectomy scheduled for 5/1. We'll see if they broach the subject with me again. I doubt they will; they'll probably wait until after my last day (which is 5/4) and get my co-workers to do it. And they probably WILL fail it!

I am up at midnight with my foot and hip hurting. I broke my right foot a year ago and I still have pain from time to time. Then I overcompensate and my opposite side hip takes the brunt. It's double-jointed so that doesn't help at all. Ugh.

I am revisiting my control journal. After blowing off the dust and wiping away the cobwebs, I am basically starting fresh with good ole' Flylady. I'm going to customize my plan & notebook to my new 8-5 schedule. DD7 wants a control journal too so I bought us both cool, retro-looking 3 ring binders at Target yesterday. She can't wait for me to get hers done. Maybe it will be a new leaf turning over for her.

I checked out Flylady's link to Payroll SHE's and got a lot of good hints.

Well, I'm gonna go because my space bar keeps sticking and I am backspacing to correct more than I am actually typing right now. Argh!

Vonnie, how cool about DD and the control journal! Wonder if my girls would like one?

Heidi: Mmmm, carrot cake! Sounds yummy!!

Well, I got half the yard mowed before I ran out of gas. All gas cans are empty, and a tire went flat. Can't do laundry, can't do dishes (well, I can. But I have to load them all into a basket and haul it out to the camper, wash, then haul back in), can't swish and swipe the bathrooms. There is much mowing to be done and I can't do it! I was complaining to DH this morning that I would like to start riding the horses again, and I got yelled at that I don't have time to ride when the place looks as horrid as it does (actually, it doesn't look that bad! He just doesn't want me riding and will come up with any excuse for me not to). He's off cutting hay, took the girls with him.

Guess I'll find something to do. That doesn't involve water. Or mowing.

Heidi, Andrea? Anybody home?

Well, it's just me then. And I haven't done crap. Latest word is that it will be Thursday before we get water.

I really don't have time for this.
