Okay ladies...........update time...... The home to purchase isn't going to work. It's a fixer upper but it needs so much work done to it that it is not liveable. That won't work. We visited with the folks that own the house we drove by yesterday. They are super duper nice. It has 5 acres..to mow. The pets are fine. It is much bigger than our current house. We haven't given them a definite answer but I think we're gonna take it. The truck won't be ready until at least Monday. We are going to borrow my mother-in-laws car for the weekend. Bless her little heart. She has always been there for us. We didn't get to do much out of town today. We were kinda rushed to get home and go look at those rentals. Also, our funds are scarce. Bah humbug. You guys crack me up! I have visions of a big ole hairy nekkid man walking thru a yard scratching his butt!! Everyone have a lovely evening! mommafitz

Thanks Cat!!!!!! Half banana cream and half coconut cream!!! I'll just use my fingers to eat it off my face..............who needs a plate?......snicker........... mommafitz

I went to the library again yesterday and picked up some videos and a couple of books after returning some others. I had to have my son check out 2 books on his card cuz our limit is 25 items! I didn't realize I had so much......snicker.....I'm such a goober......At least everything is in one place so I can find it.....I hope The Davinci Code doesn't come in for me before I get something turned in!!!!!! Happy Reading!! mommafitz

Good mornin'! My butt seems to be dragging today. It's 10 degrees outside. Barely daylight so there's no welcoming sunshine yet. Bummer........Coffee's good tho! Have a lovely day, mommafitz

Cavey, it didn't work either. We have the latest IE downloaded. I suppose we'll have to over ride the one we have now? I've just learned to live with it.............bummer............. mommafitz

How do, ya'll! It's almost the end of the week........... Yesterday went well. We have one mom that shirks her responsibilities and it drives me nuts. She still owes money from last semester and it must be paid before she can register her children this semester. Believe me, there is not a financial hardship here. I have authorized a couple of scholarships because the families were having it rough. I definitely know what that's like.........Anyway, that's the only unpleasantness from yesterday. Yay!!! We are having second thoughts about the house for rent in town. I finally was able to visit with the owner on the phone yesterday. There is no storage. We have 2 fishing boats (nothing fancy but they're ours), 2 ATVs, a large riding lawnmower, 2 tillers, and weedeaters. That's just a sampling of outside stuff we need storage for. Also, (here's the kicker) I asked her why she was moving from her own house. She told me that she's moving in with her boyfriend. OOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY.............. what happens if they have a fight and he throws her out? Is she gonna want us outa there asap? Even with a lease it would be an uncomfortable situation. Ans there's that thing about being right in downtown........We have an appointment with her on Sunday at 2pm. I have a couple of friends that are looking into some places for me. I have a good lead to check into today or tomorrow. Keep us in your thoughts, please. Today is predicated to be sunny and in the 40's. We'll see. Have a lovely day, mommafitz

Nope cavey, it's me. I think I have a headache and a sore pinky toe from this dern thread! Too bad I don't have eyes in the back of my head........someone threw a pie at me.....hmmmmmmmmmm.........reckon who that was.......?

Kewl beans, MM!!!! You have been blessed to pursue your passion in this way. Congratulations and enjoy! mommafitz

Howdy! I'm rushed this morning but thought I'd better get us started.............. We have homeschool enrichment classes registration this morning and again next week. I'm as ready as I can be at this point. I'll have to finish making copies at the church. My DH and younger son went trout fishing late yesterday afternoon. We had trout and fries for supper and it was delicious!!! Sunshine and 30's today. Hope I can be outside a bit. I'm feeling better and I don't want to feel yucky again!!!! Gotta be careful about getting that dern earache again!!! Have a lovely day, mommafitz (Somebody hit me with a key lime pie and the stuff has dried into my hair......yuck.............. )

I'm gone for one minute and as soon as my back is turned THIS HAPPENS!!!! I can't leave you alone for one minute!!!!! What a mess!!!! mommafitz

Mornin' ya'll! I'm up early today. We were told the truck will need to be left overnight with our mechanic. It's more complicated than we thought. Carborator stuff. $$$$$,too.

Dadgummit, snowmom! You did it again!

Lois........... Amen, Sister!!! mommafitz

Could someone please get me some ice? I stubbed my pinky toe on the back door because of Darlene...............

Sneaky sneaky sneaky!!!! Did you set your alarm snowmom?

I don't know what you gals are talking about..........I'm the thread killer *dodging any SWATs that may come my way* mommafitz

Howdy! I am home and we've finished supper. We had tuna salad sandwiches. Nothing fancy on Saturdays. The rain didn't start until this evening so i didn't have to worry about my slippery shoes. Good advice about taking "safe" shoes. Hubby thinks the truck has a timing belt slipping. He can't get it looked at until Monday. Oh well. when it rains it pours. Lots bad luck with us lately. Hubby has trouble keeping his spirits up. Since the truck can't be used until it gets fixed, we're home. DH and sons won't get to go deer hunting tomorrow. DH thinks he may just go to work and save that vacation day for another time. I've had a headache all day. I think I'm getting a cold. Great. I hate snot noses, don't you? Time to go and rest............... mommafitz Oops, I just remembered. I may have found us a house to rent. 2/4 bedrooms, in town with fenced back yard, and she'll okay our inside and outsied pets!!!! Keep your fingers crossed!!!!!!

Good mornin'! I thought I'd pop in quickly before going to work today. I know there were car problems during our Fabulous Friday for somebody....Lois?......anyway, I can definitely feel for you. Our only vehicle is my husbands truck. last night it started acting up and he's working with it now. He just got home from work. Bummer. I don't know what we'll do if the truck goes down..................... I'm off to work today........Have a lovely!!!!!!!!!! mommafitz

no,no, no Ladies......it's me again.............

Good mornin' everyone! Has everyone accomplished their weight loss goals, budget meeting goals, and posting more often on mrss goals this week? Here's a toast with my coffee cup that everyone will have a fabulous Friday!! mommafitz

Great....now I gotta go get some ice for this welt caused by the SWAT......I'm glad I'm not the thread killer this time...........or am I?........snicker..........

I'm glad I checked here tonight!

I have picked up a cross-stitch snowman quilt that I purchased a couple of winters ago. The kit was on sale in a catalog and , at the time, we thought my husband would soon be losing his job. I decided to order it because I didn't know when I'd be able to buy anything again that wasn't a "necessity" like...........food. (Boy were we surprised when it was ME that lost the job!) Anyway, I've been sitting on our couch in the afternoon sunshine this week and working on some stitches. I find cross stitch so relaxing. I definitely need it to recharge my batteries! Also, I have some more projects that I had purchased during the same time. I am going to keep them handy and hopefully I can use them to decorate a new home or to give as gifts this next Christmas. I would like to make some crafts and sell them. That has been on my mind for a few weeks now. The idea is still just a seed begining to grow sprouts. Hmmmmmmmm............

theyd, I have a sneaking suspicion that our family members are posting elsewhere. I have expressed my frustration at slow posting in the past. I enjoy reading all the posts and feel let down when there aren't any new ones. A few years ago, before I became a registered user here at mrssurvival, I was a lurker. It was amazing at the quantitiy and quality of posting that was going on. I really miss it. I realize members are busy. I don't think thats the problem. I am starting to visit only in the mornings now because when I check during the day, there aren't new posts. I enjoy eating my lunch at the computer and reading the latest news. This site is always checked, also. I try to get new threads started but evidently I'm boring cuz responses are few. I get real excited when I get an answer. theyd, I'll guess you and I (and a few others) will have to just speak among the echoes in these rooms. Oh well. mommafitz
