Day 2 of snow days at the house.  I cooked almost all day yesterday, homemade biscuits, bread and pizza.  Today I am not cooking.  They are going to have to fend for themselves......HAHAHA   They really want to do sledding but we have to go to his cousins house to do it and I don't know if I want to dig out clothes and drive clear over there to freeze.     Just might enjoy a slow uneventful day at home with everyone.

Still looking for a job

Didn't get the job I applied for, so I am still looking.   I have spend a majority of the day applying for jobs.  I really want to change my career path.  I have taken care of children and now I am ready to do something with my degree.  I have a business degree and I am ready to use it.    So I am on the look out for a new career.  I have gave it all over to God and he will bring the perfect job.   Just wish we had the same time frame.

Wow busy week.

Well thanks to the wonderful ice/snow we had 2 days off from school.  I actually had one of my young'uns  home from school with the cough, fever and tummy/throat pain.  Took him to the Dr. on Friday and no strep.
I went back to the Dr. Thursday for a new xray of my finger and it has healed....now it it time to start working on getting full range of motion back.   This is going to be a long week, I find our Wednesday if i got the job I interviewed for.  I can't wait!!! I really want this job.   I have been doing better about reading my  bible which is one of my goals this year.  I am going to start my Couch to 5K training again.  I haven't run for about 3 weeks so I am going to start all over.  There is a few 5k's I want to run the next couple of months.  

I could use some extra prayers this week.  We really need me to get a job SOON!!!!

Homemade Dishwashing Detergent.

I use a similar recipe adding citric acid for shine. It also makes it smell like a lemon drop. Into a 32 oz bottle with screw top (clear vinegar bottle) I add:

    * 1/2 c borax
    * 1/2 c super washing soda
    * 1/2 c salt
    * 3 envelopes unsweetened lemon drink mix (Dollar General sells them for around 10 cents each)

Fill bottle nearly to top with warm water, cap, and shake well. I leave it sitting out to further dissolve. Shake well before each use. I haven't bought dishwasher detergent in months. I use vinegar in my rinse dispenser. This solution smells really nice, too.


I have been looking for something to use, I think I may try this one.  I am really trying to get away from buying commercial products. 

I'm back!!

Ok, It has been a wild ride lately.  All the kids I have been babysitting have left me and I am currently looking for a new career.  I have been applying for jobs for a month now and finally had my first interview this week.  I won't find anything for 2 weeks.  I pray that I get this one.   We have went a month with me not working full time.  It is getting very tight right now.  I am on a mission this year to change a lot of things in my life. 

1.  Get closer to GOD.  I am a believer but just need to spend more time with him to make our relationship closer. 

2. Change my eating habits.  Cut out sugar, breads, and eat healthier.

3. Train for a half marathon.



That is my top three so far, I may add to it later.  I made great accomplishments in 2010, don't get me wrong it's just need to get my life in order.  I feel very lost and like I am floating through life at times.
I also want to get our finances in order, I pray that with this job we will be able to pay off the 2 small credit cards, Braces and what is left of the auto loans.   

Well, I better get to work on my goals.
