Its only OCTOBER!!!

 It is So cold here right now. Were in ARKANSAS people. I remember many a Halloween walking around in SHORTS! C'mon!!! What is going on! As I type this (at 2am) its 45degrees outside... That is just over 10 degrees above FREEZING!!!! That is NOT October in Arkansas weather! NO NO NO.

 I had prided myself on the fact that for that last month I did not turn on my a/c ONCE. The month prior to that, it was only on when I had to run the oven. So what did I have to do today? I had to turn on the HEAT!  YES THE HEAT! I hate the smell of the heat the first time you turn it on... and remember, this home was EMPTY for at least a year before we moved into it, so it was that smell x10 Ick. Anyway I turned it on, and it works, so that is a big plus :) Its an old furnace. It warmed the house up and then I turned it back off! LOL. Well not off, but down to 60, so it will not get colder than that, in the house. That should work, for now. Soon we will get a fire going in the fire place. Need some things first, like WOOD and Tim to take the deal off the chimney... Soon. I am ready, SO ready to start a fire in there!!!

 I have a new mission to be more "frugal". I am going to try to make most things this next 2 weeks  from scratch, no boxed things or premade things. I am going to try to bake a bunch of things tomorrow and Sunday with the help of the kids, and then freeze them! Got my little freezer all cleaned out and that. So look forward to some "Frugal baking" on my other blog here soon :)


 That was it I guess. I mainly wanted to blog that today. October 10th I had to turn my heat on, and it works. Pray my gas bill is affordable! :)

not everything i say requires a response.

 first off let me say, my shift key is not working so nothing is uppercase today. so sorry.   the new chick at work is driving me...crazy. short drive i know but even so. like seriously. crazy. she argues with everything, butts into any conversation started without her in it, and denies anything being done wrong. she's new, making a mistake is going to happen. if you do it, fess up, and get on. your not in trouble. shut up. quit denying it just say ok, and get on with life. it does not always require a response. just do it. or don't do it, whatever fits in the time. then i have customers like the lady today. she and her friends all got their pizzas. when i walked by i stopped to check on the table. i noticed that the lady was asking her friend to sniff her slice of pizza, of which she had taken one bite of. i asked if everything was okay 'it tasted funny when i took a bite' she says 'here taste it," she tries to get her friends to taste it, one sniffs and ...

I always blog that I'm going to blog

I just don't make the time. I need to. so few weeks ago. got strep throat antibiotics and BAM my skin/joint issues flared up. bad. I'm stiff sore dry and ugly. so I'm going to try to be gluten free. I love bread guys and pasta. I have to get thos crap under control though and some research suggests it helps and it certainly IS NOT going to hurt me so here goes. I started today but will count my actual start date as 9/1 b: coffee and cream, watermelon and a string cheese l: zucchini cheesey casserole hamburger patty with lettuce other veggies and mustard s: caramello [I said gluten free not healthy] d: subway spicy Italian with provolone, no bread with lots of veggies and mayo also veggie straws happy to find they are gluten free! so say 1 wen...

 Why is it when you do something wrong, people will point it out, over and over and notice every detail, but the things that you do right... They go unnoticed for ages?  Training at work this week has been tiring. I have been super busy so its hard to actually train someone... I have to get my tables taken care of. I have the kids just getting into the swing of things with school, and training myself to go to bed early has proven unsuccessful. I basically feel over worked and under slept. As I mentioned on facebook I think there are plenty of hours in the day... I need more hours at night, to work with....  Kids are all adjusting well to school life again. Still going to sleep easily at night, which I know wont last so I am enjoying it while I can. I cannot believe I have a child who is a sophomore this year. I am still not believing that actually.  Tomorrow is super busy, we have Dr visits, I have blood work done, Girl scout meeting to attend and then a split ...
