Checking prices.....

I didnt' realize how time consuming it would be to come up with a weeks worth of recipes, menus and a shopping list. Now I gotta figure out how to upload the charts to the website. I already made 3? trips to the store today I think.....boy it's been a long day and I'm just gonna check in later as the keys are becoming blurry or is it just my ffffingers are going to sleeeeep. nite all.

Cruel and unusual punishment.......

Ever since kindergarten has started my 5 yr old has been getting even more creative in his search to drive me crazy. Today he and little sis filled the bathroom sink with water and had a water party, sloughing, drenching the laundry hamper, etc. Once caught and vanquished from the scene of the crime he proceeded to dump water into his shoes. Time to get "cruel" and creative in my punishment, he was forced to stand at the door of the bathroom while little sister got the job I'd intended for him. She received a cut up milk jug to scoop water and it was her job to dump the water into the toilet. It was the worst thing I could have made him do. Stand and watch his sister have fun cleaning up.

It could've been me......

Saturday we planned on going to the water park in Rexburg but one of the little kids was sick. We decided to stay home, get some movies and do some fun activities instead. On the way out of the store, a man stopped me and asked about the wreck. I guess there had been 3 ambulances called and all traffic had been diverted to back roads instead of the freeway. My heart kind of skipped a beat. If I hadn't been getting movies there's a very high likelihood that I could've been headed to Rexburg right about the time of the accident, with my family. I really feel like we were divinely delayed and protected. It really makes you think. What does God have planned for me? Gotta go help with math homework.

Not so nifty surprize inside :)

Just was sorting out some hand-me-downs from my neighbor and I remembered when she gave me a bag before....... she goofed and handed me the bagged garbage in the back of her car instead of the bag of used clothes. I didn't get to them for a couple of days and wondered why my car was smelling funny. OOps! was she embarassed. I had to call and definately kid her about that one.

I miss my old blog already

Well I've downloaded about 6 pages worth of old blog entries from my former blog home :( I guess I"ll be posting them on http://www.arkessentials.com or making a new site build it page. But gotta start blogging in the meantime. so here goes.

Finally some success...

I've been up on the web for over two years now and finally hit on a way to actually make some money. I did a joint venture with a BBQ guy and made over $500!!! Hurray! I might end up in the black this year. Now I gotta get over and see my friend's new blog. martaosmith@blogspot.com. She's the reason I signed on today. Have a great awesomely good day.
