March 22, 2007 Just today
I was informed yesterday that Pluto is no longer a planet....hummmmm, I totally missed that one. Guess I now have something to look up in my spare time.
We went to our favorite Super Walley today. Smiley cried all the way home. Well let me rephrase that he SCREAMED all the way home. It was AWFUL. This is now the second time that this has happened. He has also thrown up twice today, DTS said that there is a horrible GI visus going around that they almost had to litterally close down the local elementry school because so many children had missed.
Okay well my hoarse infant is screaming again, I must go, forgive errors.
me.

March 21, 2007 Wednesday
Well, now that I have a minute or two, I decided to do a little "IF"...
If you were to be recognized by posterity for one thing, what would you like to be known for? Well to admit, I had to look up posterity, but if I were to be known by my posterity for one thing, I think that it would be for generosity. I sometimes have to remind myself that I can't give everything away.
If you could have said one sentence to Hitler while he was alive, what would you have said? I would have told him that even though our children and our children's children and so on would always study about him, no one with have a mind would ever respect him for the horrible deaths that he caused.
If you had to choose the color that describes you most accurately, which color would it be? I think I would choose Black: Black goes with everything.
If you had to convert to a different religion, which would you choose? Well since we currently technically don't have a church, and I was baptized Catholic, I think that I would choose Mennonite. I really enjoyed the simplistic of the Mennonite people and the compassion of their sermons. Unfortunately the only Mennonite church is in Indy.
If you were to drown in a liquid other than water, what would you want it to be? Well if I had to drown, which I can imagine is horrible and painful, I think I would like it to be Rumple mints. I might as well not realize that I'm drowning.
If you could reverse one sports call in history, which one would it be? Well I don't watch sports, therefore I can't answer this question.
If you had to name the most terrifying moment of you life so far, what would it be? In 02/2006 we had a horrible ice/snow storm and I decided, like a fool, to try to make it to work. Sunshine was in the back seat and we nearly got ran over by a semi. It was horrible, I will never do anything like that again.
If you had to be homeless for one year, where would you want to be? I think that I would like to be in Zionsville. There are a lot of rich people and I'm sure that their garbage would be better than nothing.
If you could have one street or square or park in any cit or town renamed after you, which one would you select and exactly what would the name be? Okay, not to sound full of myself, but I'd have Market Street named Katy Street. Why not have one of the most powerful streets in the world named after yourself?
If you could be guaranteed one thing in life besides money, what would you ask for? That my children grow up to be someone important, whether they are priest or the president, as long as they make something out of their lives and don't have to struggle.
If you could have any person from any time in history cal you for advise, and they were to listen to what you told them, who would you want to hear from? Abraham Lincoln, I'd tell him not to go to the theater.
If you could easily visit one known planet, which one would you go to? I think I'd got to Pluto.
If you could have been the author of any single book already written, which book would you want to have penned? Any one of the Betty Crocker Cook Books.
If you could have any one specific power over other people, what would it be? To be able to force them to tell the truth.
If you had to lose everyone you know in a tragic accident except one person, who would you choose to survive? Wow, that's a tough one, being a mother, it would be hard to lose one or both or my children, yet being a wife, it would be hard to lose my husband also. Since I can't decided between my children, I can't answer this question, I think I'd rather die and let both of them live.
If you could have one meal from your past exactly as it was, which would you repeat? My dad took me to this restaurant called Harley's Marie's. The steak there was fabulous and I've never had a more memorable dinner in my life.
If you could become famous for doing something that you don't currently do, what would it be? I'd like to be a famous skinny, not dead looking, model.
Okay, last one, I need to get the kitchen finished....
If you could only keep one of your five senses, which would you save? I would keep my hearing. Having already had sight, I could imagine what something looked like, after having felt, I could image the feel, I don't care about taste or smell. To hear my boys is like music from heaven...that is when they aren't screaming at the top of their lungs.
Okay, off to do my chores.
Me.

March 20, 2007 Just another Tuesday....
Tuesdays are by far our worst days of the week...all the appts are scheduled for Tue, this way we get them done, but it is the worst of all days. Sunshine is tired, AND NOT LISTENING...but hey, what else is new? We are waiting for the very yummy chocolate cake to get done so I can ice part of it and we and indulge in some yummies and family time. Sunshine will be going to bed soon. Smiley has been up most of the night, his tooth is really giving him a fuss. Poor little guy. Tomorrow we have to run a morning errand and then we are going to go and pick up some things at the store. My veggies for the veggie garden have died, well, most of them. I will try to replant in time for Good Friday - Monday planting. Duck fixed, as much as he could, my washer, we put a Y on it to control the water temp. I don't feel like the diapers are getting clean in the cold water when I can still see poo in the leg seams. And since I don't dry my liners, I don't want to wash in cold water anymore. I will have to do a load of diapers tomorrow anyhow. Well gotta go, Smiley is waking back up.
Me.

March 18, 2007 Can't follow directions
I'm sure that you are all thinking, I am talking about the kids right??? NOPE, I can't seem to follow directions today. I was making biscuit, gravy and eggs for breakfast, and I couldn't follow the simple directions on the gravy mix. Duh!!!, it isn't that difficult. Okay, well I'm going to go work upstairs.

March 17, 2007 St. Patty's Day
Are you wearing your green? I am now... We ran some errands today and found Ground Beef for $1.19 a lb., so we bought 20 pounds. I will cook and divide it up tomorrow. I am also going to inventory my deep freezer, Duck is really getting into shopping with me when it comes to groceries, he seems to like to find the deals as much as I do. I think we are going to have to find another deep freezer. I will see if I can find one that is used. Most of my starts for my veggie garden have died. :( I tried to transplant them and kaplute...I'll replant and start some new. I am going to order the strawberry plants that I saw, K do you still want some. The car is still down, I will schedule the appt Monday for it to go to the shop. We are hoping that they can fix it, it is getting gas, air and spark, but no start. GRRRRRRRRRR. Smiley's tooth still hasn't broken through, it is giving him such a fit. I feel so sorry for him.
I know that it has been a while, I've been trying to keep up better with the house, Duck made a comment about it the other day. Okay, well I'm going to go to bed, everyone else is asleep and I'm exhausted. Smiley ate every two hours or less last night and I have a feeling that it is going to happen again tonight.
Good night to all!
Me.

March 13, 2007 Is today Friday???
I'm beginning to wonder if today wasn't actually Friday the 13th. You know, if we didn't have bad luck we wouldn't have any luck at all. Today as I was cleaning the house I heard this loud crash and shatter. It sounded like someone drove their car through the back of my house. Nope, it was the cabinets over my washer and dryer. Oh my GOSH, what else is going to happen. We had to take everything out of them and move it, mean while Sunshine was playing in the flour and looked like Casper, so does my kitchen floor. We found out the the cabinet completely knocked off my knobs, so I will forever be washing in cold water on an extra large load. I don't know what I am going to do for diapers. I think that I may take them to the laundry mat, or see if I can fill the washer myself with hot water, I'll have to ask Duck. So I missed the LLL meeting, to help Duck get the cabinet out of the house, which I really wanted to go to since I thought of a few questions to ask today, I'll have to call the leader or K sometime this week. I looks like I may have to get a part time job, I'm tired of being broke and I don't want to break into our rainy day fund. I need to at least work long enough to pay off the medical bills. If I can find a job making $6.00 per hour and work 12 hours one week and 20 the next and so on, I should be able to bring home about $325.00 per month to pay the bills off, I will have to work forever, but hey, that's life right? I may be able to pay them off by Christmas and have some Christmas money. I want to do more cooking/baking for the holidays this year.
Good news....I'm not pregnant, nor do I hope to be. I DO NOT want to get pregnant right now especially because of the type of birth control that I am on. I don't think that I will have anything to worry about. Hey, if it happens, it happens right?
Okay, I'm getting to bed, while the getting is good. Sunshine is sleepy and Smiley is already asleep. Smiley is sure to wake up later and stay up for awhile since he hasn't been up too much. I will be working on a schedule tomorrow so I can keep the house clean and us on track. Good night to all.

March 13, 2007 A message for Always.....true??
AN OPEN LETTER TOMR. JAMES THATCHER,BRAND MANAGER,PROCTER & GAMBLE.- - - -Dear Mr. Thatcher,I have been a loyal user of your Always maxi pads for over 20 years,and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuardCore(tm) or Dri-Weave(tm) absorbency, I'd probably never go horsebackriding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running upand down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature hasto be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only companysmart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads beaerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each monthknowing there's a little F-16 in my pants.Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from"the curse"? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my "time of the month" isstarting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forcesviolently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my bodywill adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call"an inbred hillbilly with knife skills." Isn't the human body amazing?As brand manager in the feminine-hygiene division, you've no doubt seenquite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers'monthly visits from Aunt Flo. Therefore, you must know about thebloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense moodswings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realizeit's a tough time for most women.In fact, only last week, my friend Jennifer fought the violent urge toshove her boyfriend's testicles into a George Foreman Grill justbecause he told her he thought Grey's Anatomy was written by drunkenchimps. Crazy! The point is, sir, you of all people must realize thatAmerica is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in capri pants.Which brings me to the reason for my letter.Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted toreach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxipad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words:"Have a Happy Period."Are you fucking kidding me?What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain reallythink happiness-actual smiling, laughing happiness-is possible during amenstrual period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bitpleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of sickS&M freak girl, there will never be anything "happy" about a day inwhich you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlúa and lockyourself in your house just so you don't march down to the localWalgreens armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end yourlife in a blaze of glory. For the love of God, pull your head out, man.If you just have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't itmake more sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like "PutDown the Hammer" or "Vehicular Manslaughter Is Wrong"? Or are you justpicking on us?Sir, please inform your accounting department that, effectiveimmediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I havechosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I willcertainly miss your Flexi-Wings, I will not for one minute miss yourbrand of condescending bullshit. And that's a promise I will keep. Always.Best,Wendi AaronsAustin, TX
This was sent to me today in an email...hum....more later from me.

March 12, 2007 Monday
Just another Monday, I worked out with K today, it was nice! We are going to stop working out so much or totally since the spring is here and she is busy with the Homestead. I sold another thing on Ebay today and made nearly $9.00, Yipeee...now if I can sell a ton more making profit, I will be doing well. I am looking for strawberry planting info so I can get strawberries, I want to grow them and grapes too. Well I don't have much to say, I am tired and I'm going to lay down.

March 11, 2007 The first step...
Yesterday we had some friends over for a belated birthday dinner. I made a beef stew, which flopped, but was okay. I'll try it again some day. I also made bag salad and cake and ice cream. We played some cards and had a good time. Sunshine won't sit at the table still and eat. Duck and I have talked and talked and talked about it. I guess I wasn't fair to him the other day, I knew he wouldn't eat the salad, and I knew that he'd never tried the pot roast, but he didn't even try. I think that he didn't recognize it, therefore didn't want it. I will work harder to introduce more things to him, and try to get him to try more. Anyhow, it's late now that I've gotten back to this and I need to get some sleep. We are going back to our day schedules.
Katy

March 09, 2007 The crying baby
Smiley has been pretty happy today, but has cried for the past few hours. I really think that it is the tooth that is trying to push through. I didn't get anything done today and we have company coming over tomorrow. I will be on a mad cleaning dash when Duck gets home and in the morning. He isn't running a fever, but he has been throwing up . As everyone is going to ask me, I really don't think that this is spit up, it if far greater than a tablespoon of fluid. If he isn't doing better in the morning I will call his doc. Well he is starting to get fussy again, gotta go, please excuse any typo's only have one hand.
