Winding down...

the whirlwind! It's been nonstop this past week! Our server for the station was down for a couple of days so that made it fun to plan out the show & know what was going on, but it's up and running now. Sorry to all of you that listen online. So let's recap all the fun from Thursday til Saturday...because there was a lot, but I will only hit the high notes (and a couple of low notes)with some pictures too! Nichole, my oldest, is graduating 5th grade...Wednesday is the last day of school. So Thursday all the 5th graders that signed up went to Atlanta for a 2 day field trip. We left at 6am & the kids were just buzzing with excitement... ...once we got to Atlanta we went to the Circulium. That was neat. We weren't able to take pictures because the oil painting is 200 years old and light causes damage to it, so all I can tell you is if you get a chance to go...GO! The one in Atlanta depicts the Civil War battles leading up to the capture of Atlanta. After we listened...

10 Quick Cleaning Tips

From About.com Dusting Try dusting cloth lampshades with a lint roller. It works quickly and effectively without the hassle of a vacuum. Slip an old unmatched sock on your hand and dust as you go. Windows and Mirrors Use old newspapers to clean mirrors and windows. You'll have a great disposable cleaning rag and be recycling at the same time. Vinegar is an inexpensive easy cleaner that can be used on windows and mirrors. To prevent streaking and extra rubbing, wait for an overcast day to clean your mirrors and windows. Cleaning Out the Microwave Bring a cup of water to boil in the microwave, the steam will help loosen dried on particles making them easily wiped away. Scrubbing the Toilet Put toilet cleaner in the toilet to soak while you wipe down the outside. The inside dirt and stains will be loosened and more easily cleaned. Buy a drop-in toilet cleaner dispenser, to increase the time between needed cleanings. Cleaning Out the Refrigerator. Briefly clean out trash and bad food e...

As I go through the day...

I am in a bit of a fog. I have not been sleeping well and I feel very tired. I'm not sure why either...I usually sleep very good. Maybe it's anticipation of the kids getting out of school, or because there's so much going on that I can't seem to get it all done...whatever it is...it is. So Mike is working non-stop right now...which is a blessing & he'll be working late for the next couple of days...not today though because I am still working one day a week at The Brunswick Millhouse. I think that is about to come to a close however...I don't think I really need to keep going. I am looking forward to this weekend! We are going down to Orlando to see my friend Nikki for the day...eat some good food, swim and relive memories! I am looking forward to this mini break! OK...that's it for now, I really am not focusing well so I am not going to keep rambling. ~Peace & Blessings~ Jen

My Mother's Day...

was great! I am so blessed. My Mother's Day began on Saturday. My fab hubby & kids left the house around 9:30 & I rolled out of bed around 10 & I got to relax in the glorious silence. I cleaned the bathrooms & balanced the checkbook and began to read a new book. Around 11 Mike called to let me know that all the kids wanted to go to the movies, not just the boys. So I said OK! We all went to the 1 o'clock showing of Iron Man II. It was a good movie...a lot of action. As we were leaving...we were invited to go and see How to Train A Dragon...so we had dinner out & went back to the movies! It was so great to chill out with my family & catch a double feature! I don't think we've ever done that before. Sunday was so nice...started w/ breakfast & presents! My kids made some gifts & bought some gifts. I now have a good camera! I'm still holding out for the 35MM style, but I love my new Nikon digital camera...How sweet! We went to church with...

Following up...

from yesterday's adventures! So the car is back on the road! There was a bolt in the carburetor...glad it stopped running instead of blowing up ~ that's a praise! Also a praise is that I know of an honest mechanic...thank you Mike w/ J&J Tire...you guys are great! So, since it didn't cost me an arm & a leg to get the car running again, I was able to get new tires put on the car as well...it was on my list to get done this week & I'm so thankful that I was able to do that. So once the car was done and I got back home...I found my most fab husband planting our newly bought peach trees! I just love it when he surprises me like that! Afterwards we reseeded the yard...so we should have some real nice grass growing in about 5 days! Afterward the storms came and we almost lost one of the trees...but I went out and added more dirt - looks like it held. With all that I forgot to pull out dinner...so...we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner...love breakfast for dinner! ...

My car...

must be really mad at me!!! So today started off normal enough...I went to bed early & did not want to get up this morning...as usual...got ready for work...prayed...drank coffee... and got the kids ready for the bus...THE BUS... The bus has been late for several days...which is becoming an issue all on it's own...well today I decided that I would take the kids to school and drop them off (EARLY) and then get to work on time...the reason...because yesterday they did not get to school until 8AM! Well...that was the plan, but it did not happen...half way to school my car decided that it would shut down...and it did!! Teaching lesson of the day...DON'T PANIC & DON'T STRESS! So I showed Logan how to use the ER Brake. He asked about it just 2 days ago...how ironic! I then called the towing co & my friend to get the kids...so the kids got to school on time & the tow co. got me to the garage...and come to find out it was my carburetor...it came loose and some derby...
