My Girls

Well life is moving along quite nicely. The girls are doing well in school. Making friends, behaving well in school, and making decent grades.

They were both invited to, and attended a birthday party today. They had a good time. They got to have pizza and cake, and then went bowling. *S* They had a lot of fun, I’m only sorry that I wasn’t there to see it, but I don’t suppose Mom can be hanging over their shoulder’s all the time.

Here at home I’ve had some problems with attitudes and not wanting to do anything to help out, but that has only surfaced in the last week or so, and I will quickly nip it in the bud. We’ve been working a lot on the tone of voice that we use is just as important as the words that we use.

We’ve been doing well with our reading too. We haven’t read EVERY night, but lots of nights. I have seen both the girls improving with their reading skills, and I enjoy hearing them and listening to them.

Well anyway, I think that’s enough for tonight.

Mopar Parts

I’m not mechanically inept really but I would know Mopar parts from regular parts.

I know how to check the oil and tramission fluid, the antifreeze, power steering and stuff like that. I can even change a tire, provided the tire comes off like it’s supposed to. *LOL* Needed to change a tire on Dad’s car the other day, and would have done fine, provided the tire had come off like it was supposed to. Guess it had mud or something glueing it in place. Had to have a friend and a big hammer to get the tire changed.

Free Online Storage

It seems that I’m always needing storage for something. Crafting items, christmas decorations, or something so simple as pictures. That’s why free online storage is so nice. I don’t have to worry about charges of any kind, which is always nice in today’s economy. Online storage is nice, as you can access it from anywhere with internet. It’s easy and out of my way until I need it. It’s too bad I can’t stick my other things in online storage.

Wrinkle Cream

I’m not especial conscience of my looks. I’d like to loose a little weight, would like my hair to grow back out, and I could probably name off several other things that I wouldn’t mind changing, but on a day to day basis I rarely think about things like that.

Things like makeup or wrinkle creams rarely get my attention. I don’t wear makeup unless I’m going out somewhere special. I wear jeans and t-shirts or shorts and t-shirts unless I’m going out somewhere really special. Thing like my looks just aren’t that important to me, what is on the inside is so much more important.

Myrtle Beach Golf Packages

She had been surfing online for the past two hours trying to figure out what to get her Dad for his birthday. Finding something for him was always a challenge. The man who had everything, and yet wanted nothing, except for a happy family.

She wasn’t sure, but it looked like the Myrtle beach golf packages were about the best thing she was going to come up with. She knew her Dad would enjoy it, and that’s what counted, though it did seem a bit un-original.

Tuxedo Shirt

The tuxedo shirt was tighter than what he preferred, but he hadn’t had time to go get a new one before his best friend’s wedding day, so this would just have to do. It’s not like he would be wearing it long anyway. He planned on changing right after the ceremony and pictures were done, and then he could be comfortable again. He had never been the sort to get all gussied up anyway, much preferring his t-shirts, jeans, and cowboy boots.

Ultra 90 Reviews

If memory serves me correctly a friend of mine was using the Ultra 90, but I can’t remember for sure. Anyway the ultra 90 reviews that I have seen and heard have been good, but I really don’t pay a lot of attention to that type of stuff. It’s not that I’m not interested in losing weight, it’s just that I don’t have the time, nor the desire to do a bunch of research on different weight loss systems. If exercise, and staying away from junk food doesn’t do it for me, than I guess I won’t weigh my ideal weight. Maybe not the best way to look at it, but that’s how things are right now.

Social Security Disibility

I have often thought it would be nice if Dad could get on social security disability because of his back problems. In reality though, I know he would go crazy here at home with nothing to do. I don’t know, I guess there are pros and cons to both sides, because if he were at home, he could work with Chief a lot more, and do some stuff around here that he has been planning for along time, but I wonder what he would do after he had done those things. He enjoys his time at home, and is tired of driving/working. He had planned to retire years ago, but things have prevented that, and yet it won’t be long until he can get his regular social security, so I wonder what he will do. I for one would not mind him being home and neither would the girls.
