like this I can handle at work. 1/2 the people are leaving b/c they have other jobs at the new restaurant. Good ridence. Leave now...stop making our lives horrible b/c you don't want to do your job right. This was horrible. People pick on those who are different. The managers are the ones showing everyone the bad habits, and we someone who is doing the right thing tries to correct them, life comes to a screeching hault with...that's how we do it on night, or that is what the manager does or that is how I was taught. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????
I've got a headache and I'm very upset so I'm going to go relax and get ready for the meeting int he morning. I also have to finish up my servesafe.

Do you know how refreshing it is to go out to your own garden and pick your own veggies? Tonight I am going to pick up some potatoes and we are going to have omlets for breakfast. I'm going to use the one pepper that I have an put in potatoes, eggs, cheese and sausage. Wrapped in a flour tortilla and bada-bing. The local grocery store is having a huge sale next week, I hope that we are able to take advantage of it a little at least. I'm really trying to eat better, but work it killing me. Tonight I'm going to pick up some spinach and make a salad with chicken tonight. I feel a bit more relieved. I can't wait until Duck get a job. Tonight I'm going to help him with one if not two of his essays. Sunday is going to be very rough for me as it always is. I don't get to see the kids, but a couple of hours at the meeting and them I'm at work all night. I think that I'm working nights on Mon. I think that I may try to go out into service since I haven't been out hardly at all and Duck is in school Tue thru Thur. We are looking at next semesters schedule and I'd really like for him to take as many classes online as possible. If he can't get a job between now and then, I really hope that he takes 16 hrs or possibly 19. That would be a lot, but it would help him a lot too. By doing this he will only have to go to school through the end of next year. I did just find out my raise...it is less than the new company is starting regular employees out at. None less that I'm a manager. Well....I have no desires to leave, as I will be going soon enough. This isn't a career, it is a job.
Well I need to scoot, I have a lot to get done in 45 minutes, I really need to get off to work.
Good day!

BODY:
A lot of things have been happening recently. I'm a little scared that I might be slipping off into lala land. The whole thing with Duck being laid off was so that I could go into Field Service. I wanted to follow in the foot steps as much as I could of Jesus. I was so eager to tell the world about the bible truths that are so obvious. Now I find myself not even ready for the meetings and slipping into other thought while I'm there. The kids are very distracting, but it is a joy to know that they might be getting so of the information that is being presented. At least Sunshine started answering the retorical questions correctly. I'm shirking my house chore, I'm overwhelmed at the crap going on at work, I've found myself swearing or at least thinking those thoughts which is scarry. I get aggitated more easily and am overall unhappy right now. The world affairs aren't really helping either. I always get depressed and over worried at the beginning of wars...and it looks like we are about to get into another. While I must say that I'm disgusted that CNN and other major news reporters aren't giving the news about North Korea, they are threatening to wipe the US off the map and no one cares? Because of having to work a secular job that I no longer am happy at I feel that I'm neglecting my Christian duties which includes being a good wife and mother. Now going to nights I feel is going to just make things worse. I have a plan thought. I want to get up everyday at the same time. Let's say around 8, get Duck and the kids up by 8:30 and get breakfast in. Then we can spend more time as a family and I can help Duck with any homework and such. I'm really going to try to get Duck to take the job at the local plant if one is offered to him. I think that it is very important for our family.
I feel a bit better and I need to get the laundry changed over. I think that I'm just not going to stress out about my managment stuff until I go in tomorrow. I need to start putting my priorities in place starting with my daily reading of the bible and meditation, everything else will fall into place.

So I've been trying not to blog since I'm trying really hard to get this blog transferred to the new one. I'll post that soon. I got really furstrated about work the other day...to the point where I'm ready to say...forget managment, I'll stay floor supervisor until Duck gets something. If S isn't going to make the store run right, and let me get hamstrung everytime I turn around. I've made up my mind, if the nights, which is the shift I am being moved to wants to follow some of the rules...they will follow them ALL. Every single one of them. No more freebies or "breaks"....yes they will still get their lunch breaks. I'm going to do everything by the books 100% which will probably send food cost through the roof, which will in turn ruin all thier bonuses and it may even put an end to free meals. Everynight before I leave I will be writting down the waste and putting it in the system. They are going to have a cow....mind you unless S does what she is suppose to, I'm not going to keep the knife in my back.
On another note, I'll get over the above....Dad came down for a visit today. He cut back some of the apple trees. He said one looks to be dead but to check it again at the end of the season. He also said that I had too many corn stalks in each hole. He told me to pull som that I should only have one in each and to pull the weeds in everything. I did as told, but most have two. I got a whole 18 quart tub full of weeds but mostly corn. I am now nearly completely convinced that the bean plants on the porch are kidney beans...however it is nearly odd that they don't really look like kidney bean plants...more like my reg bean plants....did I let them grow to big? I guess that is the questions. I did get the whole garden weeded in about 30 minutes. I have flowers on the tomatoes, three zuch, 1 or 2 squash and still only one pepper. The bean plants are doing well and I'm going to follow Tim's blog and start the broccoli and cauliflower for a fall crop. I'm going to throw spinach into that mix also. By the way K~ Do you mind if I send off for free seeds for you? I also needs to plant the loofah.
Now the next questions is...the Bible calls out to us to give God our first fruits....how do I do this? I'm going to have to research this.
I'm really excited that next tue we are going to have a picnic at a brothers house....go swimming and they aren't even going to be there. We are going with his literal brother and we will be hanging out around the pool, I hope it doesn't rain and that this is great for the kids. I can't wait to hang out with friends.
Okay, I'm exhausted and ready for bed. I'll write more later...

How we do first fruits (and harvest tithing) is to give it to the minister of our church. If him and his family don't need it, then we give it to other members of our church that we know can use it. But offer it to the minister first.
At "worst" some people who tithe their harvest will donate it to a food bank.

Well Duck and I talked about it today. I'm going to research it more. We both seem to be under the impression that when Jesus died for our sins, he made the new covanant and "first fruits" we no longer needed. Although I completely agree with giving and I will freely give to memebers of the congregation and others, we don't have on "pastor or minister or head leader" We have a overseer, but no one brother is higher or more important in those respects than another. Thanks for sharing what you all do though, I'm really going to have to research this further. In our religion we don't have a "tithing" of anysort. We give what we can, when we can. Some churches say you should give x amount or x percent, we are told to freely forgive. It reminds me of the lady who didn't have alot and she brought what she could...she was accepted because she gave all she had which was worth more that the rich that gave only part of it. Lots to ponder...in the mean time...have fun with the soaps...did the stands work for anything? One thing that I'm looking forward to in respects of going to nights is the ability to go to yardsales. See you sometime this week.

I went outside in the pouring rain about an hour ago and found something wonderful! I had put, just last week, some kidney beans that were broken or not so pretty from the raw kidney beans that I used in chili in dirt. I now have 8 five inch plants. I will now be planting lentils, great northern, pinto, navy and butter beans. Let's see how we can get this done! Beans are such a wonderful source of protein and fiber! Throw in a bit of meat and veggies and you've got a healthy cheap meal.
I'm getting a bit worried about a friend of mine. She is working really hard, trying her best at a job that she is seemingly displeased with at the present moment. The worry is that she is having to give up things that matter to her. The same worry that I have for myself. I can't let my job come before my passions as a good Christian Servant, mother and wife. We still haven't started the school thing with Sunshine and I'm growing eager and concerned. I really need to get down to the dollar tree to get him some new books.

BODY:
Where to start???
I know, I'll make a list and then go back and edit for the answers...
- To get newphews or not...that is the question...who's lying?
- Work, where to begin?
- School is harder than it looks....hum.
- A clean house yesterday...note I said yesterday..grrrr
- Potty training
- Spring cleaning is in the air
- Service...prayers answered...
Okay, so I know that you will see it one at a time, but I'm going to start with the one that makes me the most happy...#7
- Service...prayers answered...Okay, so Wed I went out into service in RV and I prayed all the way there....Jehovah, please help me reach at least one person today....if no one else listens, just one!!! So it rained and rained, we did return visits and went and saw Mike. EW wanted me to go up with her b/c our children are about the same ages. Mike was there and describing his difficulties with his family life. Then EW offered a family bible study and he said that he was interested but it was getting is S/O to comply. Then we got on how the bible has changed my life, how we are all so much happier, while we still squabble occassionally, we don't fight like we used to. We are all attending meetings and studying, we are working together as a family as the bible points out that we should. I'm am SOOOOOO very happy. So I made the comment that Duck had been laid off for some time, and he said that was his situtation as well. I asked him if he ever thought about going back to school, he said he couldn't pay for it. I told him to talk to the unemployment office, they can pay for it. It really seemed that it struck a cord with him and he said that he would start a bible study another day. I pray that he does, it changes your life.
- Spring cleaning is in the air #6, I should just go backwards.... We have cleaned out our dressers and closets. We have taken 3 kitchen garbage bags and two construction bags full of clothes to the goodwill. We bagged up the old baby clothes and are sending them to a friend....4 kitchen bags full. It's amazing how much one collects overtime. I also we through the boys toys, three bags, one to a lady at work, and all their books, a small few spiritual ones passed off.
- Potty training - Sunshine is doing very very well, we are very happy. Now we are having troubles with public potties.
- A clean house yesterday...note I said yesterday..grrrr - enough said? I will work on it tomorrow, we picked up a set of bunk beds today and will get them set up tomorrow. And the other bed moved out. I need to remember to get plastic sheets. Wonder how hard it would be to make those...hum something to think about. Speaking of making things, we are blowing through the canned soup..my canned soups. I'm having to can once a week now at least. By the way, the new WC is killing me, I hate that it isn't 2 hours away. DARN IT
- School is harder than it looks....hum. - Well Duck is struggling, we are starting to get a bit worried, he needs to go in early and stay late for help. The tutors are free and avail an extended amount of time. Overall I'm so proud of him for doing it. He is a wonderful husband and father, he is trying his best to fulfill his role as head of household and man in Jehovah's eyes.
- Work, where to begin? - it's rideculos at times, the words that come out of their mouths often times makes one wonder if they think before they speak. The boss was cranky today, but she isn't feeling well. JM is really off standish, I don't know what I did, but she hasn't spoken to me outside of what she needs for weeks now...not even a thanks for the extra help I try to give her. I will just try to go out of my way to help, but stay out of her way. I can't wait until business picks up, it will be great to be able to not have to work 40 hrs without worrying. I am taking my training class soon.
- And now the newphews...well one party says they were snatched from them and the other says that party 1 kicked them out over a matter of $200. Now they are in the hads of someone who can't handle them all. We had them over and offered the custodian the option to send them 1 or all to us. They are blood and there will be no squabble over 200 dollars or 2 dollars, they are kids that need their parents to love them, not kick them out or let them go without a fight.
Okay well I'm nodding off now, I need to get to bed. I'm moving blogs since this one will close on the 13th, I will make it public to those who choose to read about our life.
Night,

The convention was great, we think Sunshine may have had a silent seizure on Sat. Riley is being less than helpful right now....grrr! His doc is moving a town over, now it will take longer to get to her, but it's worth it, even if she is only avail on a limited basis. She is going to school.
We are working hardcore on potty training. Sunshine is no longer allowed to wear pullups except to bed. This includes all meeting and playing outside or going to the store. We carry an extra set of clothes when we can remember. For the most part he has had no problems in public. Yesterday he had to go to the ER, he fell and bruised his hear really bad and it was really swollen. I called the doc, she said that since it was in the place where the skull meets in several places it was best to get an xray since it could be fractured. He did much better than normal. He is fine.
I've washed most of the dishes, folded a lot of clothes. Tonight I'm going to finish my Watchtower study and then go to bed. Yesterday I canned 7 cans of chili, I have about 21 or so cans of potatoes. I need to find more things to can. I also had a salad that I LOVED that CB made. I can't wait to duplicate it.
Well I need to get going.

A great thing to can is dried beans. Kidney, Pinto, Navy.... They are cheap to buy and easy to cook. Once cooked, they are a great thing to have canned and make for wonderful fast, healthy, cheap meals.

Home front: We planted over half the garden today after we put down the plastic covering and most of the timbers. We are also using the tire method for the potatoes and I need to start a new batch in the ground. I also need to put the onions, peas and green bean plant in. On top of the fact that I need to put in somemore green beans and peas. I have 8 tomatoe, 2 cherry toms, 2 zuc, 2 squash, 2 cucmber, 4 lettuce, 21 corn (was wanting a LOT more, but hey...gotta listen to hubby), 2 pumpkin, 3 peppers 7 carrots, I know I'm missing something...but that's all I can remember. I also lost my broccoli starts, green bean starts and pea starts, along with half my corn starts. The Arbor is finished, I also planted the two sunflower plants over by it. I will be planting loffa tonight and get it started. Mon we will plant the 3rd apple tree, flowers and whatever else I want to put in. I really want to have a nice garden this year...oh and I also have to put in the grapes. Not sure where they are going yet.
I've been feeling the need to have the a/c on at night upstairs since there is no screens in our windows. It's muggy and stuffy. I have been finding it hard to sleep up there. I set the timer and turn it on for a short while. We need to start shutting off the water heater again.
We are in desparate search for a wood burning stove. Then we can build our kiln, which will go on the south side of the small garage, and then out to the M's woods to clean things up for wood.
I'm struggling with the thought that I should go see my mother. I've approached Jehovah, but I'm not sure what my directions are. Speaking of Jehovah, I need to remember to do my study for the lesson tomorrow.
Workfront: While I have a desire to work to make things easier at home, it is breaking my heart to leave the kids as much as I do. I always feel tired and grumpy. I can't wait until Duck is finished with school or lands a good job. I'm happy that K will be starting, boy that was hard to push through, they were dragging their feet. I warned her that I'm not the fav manager, but that I was only hated because I did my job. The meat at work is really starting to taste grainy or gritty, not sure why, but it's GROSS. Maybe I need to just stop eating it!
All in all I'm REALLY excited about the garden and Arbor, I'll try to post pics on Mon.
K~do you want the last 3 lettuce plants? I did buy them from a local HI store.
Okay, I'm really needing to get off of here, I'm tired and I have to get everyone in and out of the shower and get meeting clothes set up.

I canned 7 quarts of potatoes, I really need to see if I can borrow K's canner again. I would get much further canning twice as much as possible. I need to get it all canned, I bought 50 pounds and have about 35 left. I also need to get the garden finsihed. I want to get things done! Well there isn't much to say. We had a mgr meeting today, it wasn't great. Duck redid his schedule at school, he will get going 3 days a week. I'm really proud of him.

I need to clean up tonight, we have out of town company coming tomorrow. I will get to spend a whole 45 minutes with them since I will be in the metting until noon. I also picked up a CASE of apples, it was a bit expensive for my taste, but it will work! I'm going to puree some of them to make bread, I also picked up 50 pounds of red potatoes for 15.00 WOW. I'm going to can those. Last night I made some cake and it sucked! I have also come to the realization that I'm going in the wrong direction with my weight! Duck will start school at the end of this month, Tue and Wed night.

This morning I felt so bad that walking out of work without permission sounded far more appealing than staying and suffering through the sever soar throat and sever nausa. I nearly spilled my beans a few times, choking it back so I didn't gross everyone out. I ate a bit of yougrut and started to feel a bit better. So I stayed.
Duck took the boys to the doc today. Sunshine has a pink ear, not red yet time to make sure he is taking his nasonex. Smiley has an ear infection and is currently running a fever. I hope this attitude leaves when he starts to feel better. I AM OVER IT!
Duck is going to schhol. Sunshine isn't. Duck enrolled in 16 credit hours at a local college this week, his director locally thought that was WAY too much since normal summer classes are 9 for students who are used to going. He thinks he will drop one class for later. I think that would be wise. Sunshine will NOT be attending kindegarten. The school seems incompetent, no offense to anyone who has their children in that school, but I have a special needs child and you are going to make him worse. Of course I'm not going to let him go. And then there was the plegde that broke the camel back! We will see how it goes.
I've missed 2 Thur night meeting now. Both being sick or with sick kids. With the H1N1 virus going around, I'd rather play it safe. Sunshine and Smiley got to go out, but had to stay in the truck. The doc said no shopping or groups. Hum....does that mean school too? She also wants Sunshine to get tested for allergies this summer. Great.....
Okay..some bad news. I found out that my mother has been in acoma for 2 weeks, or atleast that is the info that I've rec'd. I don't know that status of her condition or why this has happened. I forgive her for everything and only want the best for her. I just pray that Jah is forgiving.
Okay, I need to run, lots to clean. I canned about 21 quarts in the past week. Time to get it all put up and get the floors done.
Later!

I milked Flora this morning at 10am..ish and again at 9:30ish. Tomorrow I will be there directly after work tomorrow, but that won't be until 2ish. She had to be hand milked tonight, Duck startled her with his presence. We got to hold Gigi's boy kid today...he was so cute. The brown rabbit was out of food and water and so was mother hen. I did get Duck to hold Flora's leg still for me. The milk is in the freezer. I found 9 eggs, one was broken and one was pecked open.
Today I mowed the grass, tomorrow I want to till the garden and get planting. I am hoping to get a few hours for Duck to work on our tiller, my goal is to only have to till the rows, not to have to mow them. We also went to the school today to get Sunshine signed up. It went worse that bad. We are nearly convinced that homeschooling him next year and perhaps subsequent years is the best thing for him.
I tackled a hard topic today with my Dad. About the day when we won't have to carry guns anymore. Where we are told in the bible that we will be our swords into plowsheres. We talked for a very long time about the bible.
Sunshine has been off, I need to look up some info. The docs think he is having seizures. I have been canning a lot lately, since K is out of town, she has allowed me to use her canner, I plan on canning as much as possible while she is away, I like the double canning thing, less time, more accomplished with less energy usage. Okay, well I need to go, Smiley is nearly asleep and I have to be up early.

Now I know, I should have covered them, next time I won't make that mistake. I will just start over. Today we are going to finish up the livingroom and I hope to have most of the upstairs done. I also need to see about milking the goat. Right now I'm either getting over or getting a POUNDING headache, this will the the second or third in the past two weeks. Last time it went away as soon as the rain broke out...so I'm wondering if it isn't sinus pressure or atmospheric pressure.....hum..is it in my head?
Okay, gotta run

After watching the report on cnn.com about the "Conficker C" Computer virus...the final report is...guess who is infected? My brand new (6 month old) laptop. R U KIDDINE ME! We just put new software on about a month ago and my computer is frizzing out on me. I could hardly get to the cnn website to read the news. Now Duck is going to have to dump and reload. I just hope the I didn't lose my pics.
I can't wait to milk the goats again, I think that this is going to be so much fun. And hunting for eggs everyday will be fun as well.
Both boys are speaking so much...so many words and most of them new. Sunshine is really coming out of his shell.
Okay, I need to go, it's nearly nine and I'm exhausted. Tomorrow I will make more soup, I'm thinking about 25 or so quarts. I got some nice fleece today that was on clearance. The boys got top pick out their own, I'm going to make them blankets out of them.

to turn out like this. This day started out at 12:3o this morning when Duck finally fed the dogs, in the process Zues got out. He drove around a while and couldn't find him, okay so he always comes back after he finds a creek to take a swim in. So we went to bed. The alarm went off at 6 am and it was nothing but fighting with Duck to get up and get in the shower and get dressed. Finally we were leaving around 7:20ish. We drove around the neighborhood for a while only to find no Zues. Now we decided we were hungry and needed to stop fro something to eat so we went up to McD. As I was pulling out onto the highway I saw the worst thing I can remember in my life. At first I saw a small animal that had been hit in the intersection, then I saw the trail of blood. As I followed it I saw what was left of a hairy black animal and I saw a bit of brown. I lost it. I only pray that he didn't feel any pain, I cried nearly all the way to Indy. Then we showed up with about 2 minutes to spare, the boys did fine without me for the 1st 2 hours. And then I got baptized. It was an amazing experience, something that was in itself overwhelming. Then Duck was going to take the kids and come back and get me, and we got into the whole situtation about the baptism. Something I really didn't need today. He ended up bringing the boys back, and they ended up making it for another hour. It wasn't pretty, I called him and asked him to come and get them so I could finish the meeting and he said he'd be there in 30 min. I called him about 20 min later since the boys were get antsy only to find out he hadn't even left. Completely fustrating. I'm going to lay down and cover my eyes and hope this day gets better.

This chapter I will call the dark cloud....
I have the emotions of a pregnant woman who is carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. I'm really grieve stricken over the saga that continues at work, it truly breaks my heart. I shouldn't care or try, but I do. It is my responsibility to go spread the Good New, and I see someone struggling that I'm afriad to help or afraid to try to help it truly scares me.
Then they are trying to change my schedule, but doing so would only make it more difficult, since I won't be a full manager I won't have the authority to institute the change the my boss is wanting. What to do? I've been advised that things are not going good at all on nights and I REALLY don't want nights to my shift.
Then there is Sunshine, what is the right answer? How do we figure out what to do for next year? We meet his teacher tomorrow and I'm really thinking I have my mind set up. How to help Duck see that this is my wishes and then respect his if he decides differently. I know that as a faithful wife I am to do his will.
I also think that I didn't pass my final interview, I don't think that I can be baptized this weekend. I know what I will do, but know that it will be so very hard. This is going to break my heart.
I'm really happy that tomorrow I will be going out in FSM with my very good friends.
Today we cleaned the stairs, did 4 or 5 loads of laundry, hung them out and put most away, cleaned the pantry, bathroom walls and ceiling, did 2 loads of dishes, cooked the pot roasts, cleaned the back yard, put up the stuff that fell down on the garage, put up a new temporary line, watered the plants and cleaned up the deck.
On that note, I need to run.

We went to the East WalMart tonight only to find that they have done away with their fabric department. Double GRRRR. I will be writting a letter again to the company to save ours.
My pumpkin, beans and tomatoes are doing GREAT!!! They are up and the beans look wonderful. I need to transplant those into the tubs and get them ready for daily outside life, I'll bring them in when the weather is going to drop below freezing. This will help keep them safe and ensure good product. I also found hamburger on sale today which I'm going to go and buy a TON of it, it is really good meat and really cheap. We are going to go and pick up 40 pounds tomorros. We have been totally thrown off because of this stupid time change. I HATE DAY LIGHT SAVING! IT SUCKS BEYOND ALL BELIEF. I was an hour late to my meeting this morning! I felt like a moron. We got to the local hardware store only to let the kids play for a few minutes while we were looking at the swingsets and throught the catalog and to hear the intercom say they were closing in 5 min.

Okay, so my plans have changed a LOT!!!
Once I get my tax check I will be doing my garden far more different that I expected. I will be putting them in totes. In just about anything that can hold dirt will get a plant in it! I'm going to try to do a trial run of this in a month or so. I will put the plants out while the weather is above 40 degrees otherwise they'll be in the window upstairs. I am even going to put glass over the pots to create a greenhouse effect. I'll keep everyone posted! First it will be tomatoes. I need to find out if I can plant 3 plants separate plant groups in the same area...time to call dad. I also want to try to plant sunflowers this year. They are so pretty and it would be nice to have some fresh seeds. Things like the corn and pumpkins and squash and carrots will be in the ground.
Here's what I'm going to plant so far!
- tomatoes
- cherry tomatoes
- corn
- green beans
- peas
- mixed peppers
- jalpenos
- green peppers
- yellow squash
- peas, peas and more peas
- broccoli
- lettuce
- zuchinni
- cantaloupe
- cucmber
I think that should about cover it. I may try to plant some herbs, but I'm just not that herby this year...I don't know what to do with them or what is herb and what is weed.
Okay, need to run, have lots to do. Hope everyone is great!

I miss my screaming children, my sometimes grumpy but absolutely wonderful and patient husband, my dad who I haven't had the chance to hug in a long time, my friend who just had surgery and I still haven't been able to call her, my friend who is like a mother to me who is struggling with her father's health, all my friends at the Hall who make me feel welcome and happy, my friend who I let down and forgot to call to tell her I won't be coming over with an application, my friend who is back at home who is doing the best he can with what he has, and my best friend who for reasons of religious security I refrain from talking to. To all of you, I want you to remember that I love you and care about you even if I don't say it enough. I'm really eager for this system to end where we don't have to worry about the crime, poverty, illnesses and tears anymore. I need to do some bible study tonight, I want to get the first 10 questions done, not that I'll be able to get them done tonight, maybe 5.
I was able to spend the entire day with my family and then two hours with my spiritual family yesterday. I loved it! I canned 3 rounds of misc food. I used up a bunch of the frozen tray meat that was loitering my deep freezer. I have also though of my garden layout, I'm looking forward to using it as a wonderful teaching tool for my boys.
Wanna hear something really sad?? I did my own taxes today and messed them up...they have already been transmitted. GRRRRR. I have to go back in Mon and admend them. DARN IT....this kills me! Boy this looks bad! It's better that it is my personal taxes instead of someone else's.
We found out that Duck's company took NO federal taxes out. NONE....That hurt us! That will be the first thing that gets changed when he goes back.
Okay, I need to run, I need to look up some info on grid ties and such. We have decided that we are going to add solar to the system this year and tie into the electric company so we don't have to continue to shut off the system when the batteries are full. The solar panel should produce abou 150 watts per hour during peak. This also will do the windmill at the same time.

Saturday Sunshine had yet another reaction to the medicine he was given. I took pictures and called his doctor. I took him in today and sure enough, she agreed that it was hives. The assistant asked if he showed signs of trying to scratch it or touch it...I told her he has no concept of that. She started to disagree with me and I point out that with his PDD it affects some differently. He has never really scratched at one thing or another. Finally it all boils down to the fact that yet again he has gotten hives from a medication and we have to add all the "cin" antibotics to the allergic list. This now leaves only the sulfate or sulfer medicines which she said tastes awful. She also said that she wanted tubes put in his hears to prevent this from continuing. AHHH. I DON'T WANT TO DO TUBES!!!! On top of all this his lungs sound horrible and we are back to doing breathing treatments every 4 hours or less. He spit out most of his medicine and we will see what tomorrow brings. We have another apt on the 23rd for something entirely different, but I'm really skeptical about that too! I have been informed that our insurance will no longer be excepted period at Riley and the test we need to have done is in the 10K range. I have also been informed that the local hospitals that are connected will no longer accept Anthem BC/BS. We will now have to travel about 30 minutes to the closet hospital. I am going to have to call and figure this one out. If he doesn't get better he may be put back into the hospital for round the clock oxygen and IV meds. He has gained some weight he is now near 48lbs. My little boys is getting so big.
Smiely has broncitis and I'm feeling like I got kicked in the head by Pheyton Manning. Wait does he even kick the ball? Okay, you get my point.
I continue to pray for direction, wisdom and strenght to get through these times.
Good night all, it is time for me to look up a few questions for my baptism interview and go to bed.

Friday I was off, they tried to call me in, but decided not to. I watch a friends children while she was at a funeral. We had 5 kids between the ages of 2 and 6. I took the 2 yr olds to the store to pick up some much needed items as I was hoping I would have time to do it before they arrived but I was out in service. Then one of Ducks friends stopped by with his two kids and wife and K&G showed up to pick up their kids. We had 13 people in our livingroom at once. WOW. Duck watched the girls today and I ended up having to work. We are all exhausted and ready for bed. I'm working on the baptism info and going to be talking to one of the brothers soon. I look forward to this and only hope the Duck decides to attend this very personal and happy event.
Well I need to go, I'm going to do some studying and clean up a bit.
I want to start working on different things..I got the idea from K's blog.
This week I want to set goals:
1.) Walk 1 miles 5 times this week
2.) Can the potatoes and more speghetti sauce (one with noddles in it)
3.) Not eat junk food during my break at work.
4.) Teach Smiley his colors
5.) Teach Sunshine his shapes.
6.) Go out into FSM
7.) Start Smiley and Sunshine on the potty trail AGAIN

I spent most of the early morning up and down with yucky stuff coming out of both ends. I still have a terrible stomach ache and have to lay down for spurts to help calm it down. I have eaten a tad, I do hope that it stays down. The boys have a dentist apt tomorrow morning and I have to work also. I called in this morning at 5am and talked to JM, who wasn't surprised, she told me yesterday that I was extremely pail and looked clammy. I have to clean up the house tomorrow when I get home, I do hope that Duck has done some of it when I get off. I'm really weak today but think that I should be much better tomorrow.

I have hardly know time, I'm finding it harder and harder to put the ping pong balls in first and then the beans...Did I ever tell that analogy? Basically Ping Pong balls are God's needs and the beans are the daily living things with family, work, chores and entertainment. NOW I do know that putting Jehovah first puts things in the right place for the rest of the day. My problem is that I'm too tired to get up early enough to put his things first. Then I'm distracted by things and either forget or run out of time. Okay, so it is obvious that Satan has let his temptations put his things partly in the mix with Jehovah's, or should I say get into the way. So my question is this?
I have downloaded the bible and study guides off the net from the organization. Is it cheating to listen to them instead of following manually doing it? Some things I can't do that too since I will have to look up scriptures, but I can listen to the bible. Is this cheating?
Okay, I'm sitting here holding a sick little boy who is asleep and wheezing so much that I can feel it in my chest. Gotta run, need to get things done for company tomorrow.

Smiley is talking SOO much and the 2 yr old attitude is so there...AHHHH. We are thinking about changing his name to Michael instead of Mark. Yes he does eat EVERYTHING. For a little boy that is tottering between 12 and 18 month clothes he sure does eat a lot. He also pulled the keys off my keyboard which is why I haven't been writing. It was either $38 to fix 1 key and $150 later to fix the one I broke trying to get it back on or 150 for a new keyboard and labor later. So for now the space bar and "J" button are giving me fits.
I'm working my butt off. 2 jobs, one picking up this week b/c of taxes and the other slowing down b/c of taxes. HUM? The second of which I am being promoted to manager at. I'm noting getting as many hours in FSM, but that will pick up once I am down to one job and the weather is better. Speaking of weather we just got our gas bill, is $223 for one month.. OUCH!! We kicked the heater down to 66, put on more clothes and plugged in the space heaters. Last night or the night before I canned some new chili. Black beans and kidney beans raw, two kinds of other beans canned (only b/c I had them) tomatoes and meat and onion. Duck loved it and Mikey at 2 bowls yesterday and another one today. I was sick all night due to asperating an egg yolk...don't ask, it wasn't pretty and I wound up with my head in a bucket.
Duck is still studying, I'm so proud and excited. We are going to start doing weekly family bible study with the boys with the kids books, not only will it help us, but it will be great for them. I also read in the Search book today that Adam was at or around 930 years old when he died. WOW, that's old.
We got a new SUV, well new to us. The Sway bar on the van broke, so it is down for now. We are going to fix up and sell the second sentra and the truck to buy another truck. We are then going to fix up the van to sell it to buy either a firebird or another big family car. We want one back up car and the truck minimum. No we don't insure all of them all year, like the firebird would only be insured from memorial day to labor day. Anyhow, not sure what is going to happen there.
Okay well I'm exhausted and I need to get another load of dishes and laundry done. By the way,for you locals the LHM in town is having their clothes 50% off. I bought a church shirt and 4 other nice shirts for Sunshine today for $1.87.
More later.
By the way K~ Duck rigged my canner and it worked perfectly, I am saving you some chili to try.
