More cleaning
Well I’m slowly getting all my holiday cleaning done. So far I’ve gotten two bedrooms and the living room done. I still have a lot of cleaning ahead of me, but I am making progress. Today I plan on cleaning our bedroom and doing the ki...
Fall cleaning
After having everyone in the house last week sick, it’s now time to get back to my fall cleaning. I really didn’t do a whole lot of housework last week as I spent most of my time taking care of sick people and being sick myself, but this...
Back to the renovations
Man, I’ll be glad when we finally put this home up for sale. I swear to god we are putting more money in this place than what we will ever get out of it. But I want it to look nice so that when the time comes to sell, people will be begging u...
We need to move!!
No really! I’ve been saying this for a few years, but now I really mean it. Our neighbors have always been a little weird, but now they are getting outright dangerous. The other night my neighbor created a homemade fire pit in his yard and p...
Miserable weather
This morning we experienced a sever thunder and lightening storm. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it rain so hard. It has finished raining now, but the outside is extremely wet so I can’t do any work outside today. So I have decide...
Final day of May
Wow! I can’t believe how fast the time is going. The month of May is ending already and tomorrow is the 1st of June. So that means that I only have three more weeks left to call my own. In three weeks the kids will be done school for their ...
Applying for a mortgage
Well my husband and I have decided that this is the summer when we are going to put a serious move on possibly purchasing a new home. The first thing we need to do is to look into debt consolidation to possibly lower our monthly payments and then we...
We need to move
Seriously folks, this situation is getting completely out of control. We either need to move and get a bigger driveway or we need to get rid of a few pieces of machinery. Right now we live in a trailer park, so we have a really small driveway. Thi...
Spring cleaning underway
Well I had a pretty busy week this week. I started my spring cleaning and am really happy to report that I was able to get a lot of things accomplished. It’s quite amazing actually how much a person can get done when they have the entire hous...
I did it myself!
Well this past week I have learned a very valuable lesson. If you want something done QUICKLY, you really should do it yourself. For over a year now I have been pestering my husband to clean out the spare room so I could move in it to use it as my h...
Spring cleaning
With Friday being the first official day of spring, I have decided that I really need to get a move on my Spring cleaning. You really wouldn’t believe what kind of a mess my house has become these days. During the winter I really don’t ...
What a great find!
My husband will be so pleased with me (I hope!). Earlier this morning I did a post about a site I had found over at invitinghome.com. Well while I was there checking out their different types of moldings, I came across a few links for other items t...
More renovations
Now that spring is finally in sight, my husband and I have decided to go back to our renovations. During the winter it’s just too cold to work on things, so we kind of took a break from it all and now are ready to return to the scene of the cr...
Cleaning out the office
Well now that I’ve decided to try my hand at transcription, I really need to find some quiet space to call my own to do this. This type of job just isn’t possible when sitting at my kitchen table. There are two many distractions while s...
More renovations
Well he is at it again. Once again my husband is talking about putting an extension on our home and he just arrived home with some materials for this extension. I really think this time he is going to do more than just talking about it. Although i...
Working my way down my to do list
Well now that it’s December and only three weeks are left until Christmas, I figured it was about time that I started getting ready for the big day. So I made a list and I have been slowly working my way down the list. Last weekend my husband...
Renovating the bedroom
Well I’ve been quite busy for the past couple of days. I decided that it was about time that I cleaned my bedroom out so that it once again felt and looked like a bedroom. I honestly couldn’t believe all the junk that I had stock piled ...
Just looking
Now that were not in any real big hurry to sell our home and purchase a new one, we do a lot of looking on the Internet for houses that are up for sale. We only look at them to determine the different prices that they are going for and to see what k...
Sold!!
My father in law stopped in here today to inform us that he finally sold his house. This is great news as he already bought a mini home and if he had not sold his home soon he would have ended up paying two mortgages. As a man on a fixed income the...
Getting settled in
Well my father in law is not officially moved into his new home. He has everything out of his old home and now has it up for sale. He is still settling in to the new home, but it won’t be very long before he has the place set up the way he [....

No more leaks
Finally after two years my kitchen faucet doesn’t leak any more. About a month ago my husband and I went out and purchased brand new Danze faucets to replace the old leaking ones in the kitchen. Last weekend he finally installed them. I can&...
