Back to "the grind"

Here we are... Easter break is now officially OVER and we are back to school and day to day chores and chaos!
It has been a fairly quiet morning so far. Nathan and Brittany are both hard at work on their lessons and I am taking a moment to blog! LOL!

Yesterday was an eventful day. I listed a bunch of things on CL and FB yard sales. I managed to get the old bathroom vanity sold... and waiting for pick up. If they dont get here soon... I will be moving on to the next person on the list!

We moved the chicks up to the coop yesterday too. We ended up losing 2 since getting them... hoping that will be all we lose!! They really seemed to like the 'freedom' of the coop, compaired to the brooder box! I have the heat lamp up there with them for now.

HoBo climbed on the patio table yesterday and got ahold of Nathan's gum!! Sugar free, of course...which means TOXIC to dogs!! I swear, that dog is going to drive me crazy!!!!
We spent 45 minutes making sure he threw it all back up... what a fun time that was. Although, Nathan was adorable... trying to "talk" HoBo threw it!!! LOL!!!! He LOVES that dog.

I went and spent some time at the old house yesterday. Pulled weeds, raked leaves, planted some pretty flowers. I want to get some paint on the interior walls yet... and fix the 2 broken windows.
I spoke to the realtor yesterday... we some how need to figure out how to take a loss on that house just to 'unload' it. Time to get creative, I guess.
Once that house is gone... we can move foward on other goals!!! :-D I just want to be able to sit back and enjoy more time with my family... and doing things we all love to do! Property up north is so close... I can taste it!!!

I got some signs out yesterday. Time to take the shop up a notch. I think we are in a better place with schooling that I can give up a little more time to my shop!! Already the phone is ringing...which is so exciting!!! 2 little signs made an impact!! I really didnt think it would.
Now to figure out what other day I will devote to the shop. Hmmmmmm....

Today I will be making my ham and green beans! And clearing our some more clutter that has found its way to the corner of our dining room!! BLAH... clutter!!!

I was really shocked that EVERYONE finally got the hint about our thoughts and feelings on CANDY and our kids!!! I am sooooo thankful!!! It sucks being the bad guy and taking the shit and throwing it away. My kids just cant have it. The dyes and preservatives just arent healthy and have a negative affect on them. It isnt fair to them to give them stuff that makes them feel like shit! No brainer... really!!

Ok... time to move on with my day. I have been fighting the war on flies... and I think I am finally getting somewhere...LOL

Hope everyone enjoys the sunny day... while it lasts. We REALLY need the rain!!! I cant believe all of the mountain fires in the area lately!
