Winter Lilies

One of the hardest, most difficult management jobs in the world is being a parent and running a home, in my opinion anyway.

I love my job as a home-keeper and parent, but it’s really hard sometimes!! Right now seems especially hard. School has just started up again, so I’m trying to work myself and the girls back into a routine that works. The most difficult part I’m finding is that balance that they must have between playing, and helping out around the house. I’m not sure how to go about it. They are unwilling to help mostly, but I don’t think that’s right, since they live here to. I’m not asking for much, at least not in my opinion. I would be happy if they did 1 or 2 simple jobs every day, but they are unwilling to even do that. I’m not sure what to do!!

Seems like there are car insurance companies everywhere I go, each promising the best prices, the best coverage, the best customer service. I must admit that it makes it difficult to make the right decision. I am happy with my current company, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not always looking to make sure that they are the best company for me. They have been good to me, so it would take a lot for me to switch companies.

Work is keeping me busy. I’m not complaining, as I enjoy the work, I’m just astounded at the amount of work I’ve been doing lately.

To top it all off I have been trying to find time to finish the website I’m designing. I still have quite a lot of work on the side pages to complete, but the main page is basically done. Maybe this weekend I can get it finished, or at least most of the way finished.

This company has over 120 styles of mbt shoes. MBT shoes are called the “anti-shoe”, which sounds like it’s be right up my ally, since I’m not really a shoe person.

I have one pair of tennis shoes that I wear most of the time, one pair of flip flops that I wear when I take the trash out, my cowboy boots, and one pair of black high heels. That’s it, that suits my needs most of the time.

I’ve been having many different kinds of discussions with the girls lately on a wide variety of subjects. They will hear words like Mesothelioma, and being the curious ones they are, they will ask me what it is.

It’s a good thing the internet has information on anything! I’ve been doing a lot of internet searches lately, for things for my websites, and so I can explain to the girls what certain things are.

I’m not really interested in getting a PS3 at this point and time. I have a PS2 that’s barely been used. I only have like 4 games for it, and one that we borrowed from my brother a few days ago.

Acouple of years ago the cables that plug into the tv got chewed up, so we don’t have sound, so no one really has wanted to play it much, until recently because it’s something different to do.

I generally like warranties, so I guess if I were to have an Ipad, I would probably have an ipad warranty. However their is one small problem….I don’t know what an Ipad is.

I’ve heard of Ipods, but not Ipads. I guess one of these days I need to find out what it is…in the meantime I’m busy learning about mp3 players, Ipods, and DS thingys…

I’m trying to get back into the blogging habit again, and doing semi-regular entries.

About the only thing on my mind tonight is how hot it has been. I pray the heat is short lived. Low 90′s/upper 80′s is quite hot enough thank you very much. I would be much happier if it was only down in the upper 70′s or low 80′s. Then I could get some stuff done around the house, and with Chief. It’s been too hot to do much of anything except pray for cooler weather!!!

I feel like I’ve been burning the candle at both ends lately. Late hours at night, doing laundry and dishes in the cool of the night, and then being busy non-stop during the day. This keeps going I will be shopping for wrinkle cream. *LOL*

Even this week, when I thought it would be a time to relax, we were busy. This next week we are going to acouple of shows, but then I think we can chill out for a little while..At least I hope so.

Taking eczema pictures, and other pictures for a new medical dictionary wasn’t her life’s dream. She wanted to be up in the hills taking pictures of mountains, and trees, and wildlife.

Her heart had been in the mountains for as long as she could remember, and the camera had always been her friend. She had her Grandfather to thank for both things.
