I've been on spring break all week, and I have accomplished so much! I tore apart two bedrooms and deep cleaned them floor to ceiling, moved furniture, tossed and tossed and tossed (donations and trash bags), and decorated. Unfortunately I now have huge baskets of laundry from Sahara's room and realized she just doesn't have … Continue reading Spring break

What a week!
I started back to work on Monday, August 1st. I traveled to Sandusky for work for three days, and on the way I stopped at the doctor's office. Guess what? I DID break my foot this past March! The x-rays showed it. No wonder it still hurts. Also, that explains why I've been so tired … Continue reading What a week!

Where have I been?
It's been twelve days since I've posted anything on the blog! So what in the world have I been up to??? I'm glad you've asked! I teach at an e-school (online/virtual school) in Ohio. Our summer break is not the entire summer like most school districts get; instead, I get from June 16th through July … Continue reading Where have I been?

Summer break is here!
I'm so happy right now! My summer break officially starts as of 5pm today! I never know who's happier about summer vacation...students or teachers (but I have an inkling as to who it is). There are four big home projects on my summer to do list: 1. Finish painting and putting furniture together for Sahara's … Continue reading Summer break is here!

The Tao of Martha
I'm reading this book right now, and it is HILARIOUS! I laugh out loud A LOT while reading the chapters, and I could literally be this woman minus the book deals. If you can get your hands on a copy, definitely read it! You can thank me later. LOL

Little helper
The little electric heater was in the broody house in late spring. It kept the chicks plenty warm then. When it got too warm for using it, it got moved to the front porch where it set for a month, forgotten. Except it wasn't forgotten...because DG found it and chewed the cord in half! It's … Continue reading Little helper

New life for an old piece
In August, I was part of a big group yardsale. My town has a couple of Facebook local groups, and one decided to have a group sale. It was fantastic! The weather was beautiful, and there were lots of people shopping and walking all around the parking lot where we set up. I went with … Continue reading New life for an old piece

Clean up after the flash flood
We picked today to clean up Gramma's basement because it was super sunny and in the 80's. Literally everything had to pass through our hands. So much stuff was in cardboard boxes and completely soaked. This is about half of what we cleaned/tossed today. We (Teddy, Morgan, Sahara, Michael my nephew, Tyler his friend, and … Continue reading Clean up after the flash flood

Work smarter, not harder
Sahara rescued school library books that were destined for the trash (Yes! I gasped, too, when she told me any left on the carts were being thrown out to make room for newer ones!). We whittled the pile down by giving some away. STILL THOUGH: This was setting in the garage for a week while … Continue reading Work smarter, not harder

Bored kids…
Jake and Harley watched a YouTube video about racing bars of soap so of course they had to do it. They tired of that pretty fast, and next thing I knew they decided to wash the windows. LOL They did a pretty good job!
