Lifes Like That

Ever since I started on the intenet, about a year ago, I’ve been looking for online income opportunities that may generate me a little extra cash per month. Well, I just finished reading a post on a blog concerning Payperpost. What this post states is concerning the amount of available opps that you make take. So, if your a full time blogger and you want to earn some extra income, you should come in and check out this opportunity.

I was checking out some of my friends blogs from over the weekend, and it was nice to see that other people out there are just as busy as I am, but they always manage to find the time to get everything done that needed to get done.

Jesse wrote about her busy weekend over on her blog and how she was able to get so much done. If you face this problem as I know most of us do, why not check into this read and see how she was able to get this done.

Yesterday afternoon while I was sitting at my computer (which I do a lot lately), I saw a mouse!! Needless to say, I’m not scared at the critters, but I would rather they not be in my home. Of course, any time I tried to catch him (I don’t want to hurt him), he ran under the stove. My cat actually hid under my chair for my protection. lol

The children on the other hand tried to catch him. They wanted to keep him as a pet. I’m sure some of us when we were children wanted to do this as well. NOT! But no one could catch him. So, at bedtime, they made him a little spot in front of the stove that he could come out and into to to relax. The most priceless area of this little spot that had my husband and I laughing for hours was my six year old son’s “Welcome” mat.

So, although “mousie” was not welcome by my husband myself or the cat, he was most certainly welcome by the children and encouraged to stay and pull up a chair.

Valentines day is just around the corner. And we all know what that means. Chocholates, cards and of course flowers. I was just reading something a friend wrote about recieving flowers on Valentines day.

Every year, I usually end up working (I work in a restaurant and that is one of our busiest time of the year) every valentines day, so my husband always has twelve red roses delivered to my work. By now, I’m not really surprised to see a delivery person walk in with flowers, but I always love to see them walk through the door. I just LOVE Valentines day.

Being from Canada, it always frustrates me how our gas prices keep changing from one day to the next. One day their relatively low then bang…the next day they shoot up again. Unfortunately they can get away with this, as they know everyone needs to purchase gas and they have no choice but to pay the price.

I’ve been doing some checking and have discovered that even people in the US are having the same problem with their gas prices. It’s too bad that everyone around the globe can’t just boycott the entire gas industry until this all settles back down to one low price.

After months of looking for a pattern for a knitting afghan, a friend of mine was finally able to come up with a book that had some really nice patterns.  It wasn’t excatly like the one I had before, made half the pattern and then lost, but it was suitable for my needs.  I learned to knit years ago, but becuase I couldn’t find a pattern I liked, I have not knit for a couple of years now.  So, I was exptremely disappointed in myself to discover that I couldn’t remember even the basics of knitting. (not the knitting and pearling stitches, thank heavens).

So, I went right on the Internet to find some directions.  I was very happy to have found a forum that answers all the basic questions to do with knitting, and I didn’t even have to make a post to find out all the things I needed to know.  Thank goodness for the Internet or I would be sitting here with another project I could not finish.  So, the GREAT news is that I have started this new pattern, and thanks to the good folks on the internet I may actually be able to finish it (as long as I don’t loose this pattern as well, lol).

My husband’s job requires him to go out of town sometimes on courses. The children are used to this, or so I thought. Yesterday he need to go out of town for a couple of days, and we thought the kids understood this and were ok with it. Even when I picked them up at the bus stop, they were discussing it and didn’t seem to be too upset.

When we arrived home and they seen my husband’s bags packed they were so upset they started crying. As they are only six and eight I don’t think they understood that he wouldn’t be gone that long and he would be comming back soon. My son (six) was concerned because his father wouldn’t be home to kiss him goodnight and my daughter (eight) was upset because she didn’t want him to go on a train and get into a train wreck. Our third child who is seventeen really didn’t care either way. (teenagers!!)

We finally got them calmed down and they were fine. So, if my husband ever wonders how much his children love him, I think yesterday told the tale.
