Summer

The summer is going by so fast. Today was the first day for weeks that I have stayed home and not been running around town. I got to do some LAUNDRY and hang it out in the SUNSHINE!!! It was great. Then I relaxed out in the SUNSHINE with my pillow for 15 min. AHHHH.. Caleb and Andy mowed the lawn in front and back AND did all the weed wacking. OH I am blessed. Emily, Jon and Andy ate popscicles while swinging in the back yard.
oh, and then JOn spilled Tomato juice in the kitchen, it sprayed all over himself, Emily, the floor, the cabinets, the refridgerator and ALAMO (Rachel's dog). So I decided to play a trick on Rachel when she came home, We had cleaned up all the tomato juice, except what was on Mo's head, it looked like red gashes all over his head and neck. She comes walking in , WHAT HAPPENed??????? hahaha I couldnt hold it back, she might have started crying! So I told her it was just tomato juice.
I thought it was funny.
She washed him up and now he looks kinda pink.

And Rachel still shared some chocolate with me.
Time to go water the garden and go to bed. This has been a nice summer day.

writing a blog

I have been very busy. Lately I have been thinking about a lot of things but can't seem to put them down in writing. There are blogs I read where it seems I  "hear" the persons voice while I am reading it...these are the ones where you really feel like you know the person that is writing. You get to know them thru their writing. When I read Dr. Sam Gipp's books, I "hear" his voice as I am reading it.....

So when people encourage me to write, it is scary, intimidating and hard- because they will hear my voice. Will they hear something good? Edifying? Do I get across to them in typed words on a  screen, the same thing that I am saying. For example, using FB. So many comments and statements are misunderstood. I type something, then get in an argument 26 comments long, trying to explain that I did not mean what they thought I meant. LOL.

Thanks to all of you who write blogs, I do love to read them. You give me laughter and encouragement. =-)

Currclick and business school

Currclick is having a special Presidents Day sale this weekend, many lapbooking and special project packs discounted and some FREE!! We find lots of fun resources at Currclick to add fun and enrichment to our school. So check it out, click on the Currclick link below or on the side bar..


I started my Avon business in August 2010. I really didnt plan on doing much with it, except for selling to family and friends, and using it my own personal purchases. It is going so well I have decided to really "work" on it part time. I set my hours Tues 2-5 and Thurs 2-5 and sometimes Friday or Sat 2-5. We have been so busy with basketball the last few months, I havent worked all of those days, but I do fit in customers/deliveries in between times.

So now I have entered business school. It is not thru the community college or university, it is the school of learning by doing and learning by free books from the Library.
So my reading list is now changed and I am learning some new things about business and how to run it etc.
Here are a few of the interesting titles I have been reading in 2011.
Mompreneurs,  What they dont teach you at Harvard Business School, Microsoft Office for Dummies,  and Mommy Millionaire.

LEAH,LEAH GRUMPY DOG

Leah,Leah grumpy dog

Digs until her paws are sog

Sleeps real soundly like a log

Eats her food like shes a hog

Sometimes Mo gets her to jog

No, she doesnt have a blog

Groans like she just ate a frog

Breath smells like a yucky bog

 Yawns will make your glasses fog

Leah,Leah grumpy dog*

*In spite of this she is very lovable.

Would you like to buy her?

She is only $10 Billion(A very good price,I might add!)
