So apparently candle wax will ruin carpet. A few weeks ago, I asked Jake to blow out a candle I had lit. Well he picked it up and spilled wax all over the floor. I didn’t realize that’s what he’d done, I thought he just got it on the mantle. Will saw it and tried to get it up, but didn’t have much success with that. I even bought one of those carpet sticks (which, by the way, works great on other stains such as tea and coke). Oh well, I guess I will have to buy a small rug to put there. I would love to put laminate flooring down because everyone here has allergies and the carpet just makes them flare up more. But I don’t exactly have that kind of money right now. Then Rhiannon has gotten fingernail polish on her wall. I used a magic eraser and it just took the wallpaper stuff off. So I guess I’ll have to eventually paint her room. Not to mention I also have to paint my bedroom because Trey decided to color on my wall with a Sharpie. My kids are sweet, but they seem to be walking tornadoes :D.

Trey is still snoozing, so that means I have a little while until I have to chase after him. He kept dumping all of his toys out in the living room. I would pick them up and 5 minutes later, he was doing it again. I have a ton of things to do today, but I don’t want to. I also need to workout. I am trying to lose around 40 lbs and I’m not going to lose it by sitting on my butt. I worked out 4 days last week and that surprised me. I am usually not that motivated. Losing weight is not easy, but gaining it sure was!

Ok, I was supposed to do this the other day, but I didn’t get around to it. So here’s the Saturday Social
Thanks for tagging me Lisa!

What are your plans for Mother’s Day?

My Answer: I didn’t do too much for Mother’s Day. I stayed at home and my hubby cooked for me. He had actually taken me out to eat Friday and Saturday. Friday we ate at the Chinese restaurant and then Saturday we ate at a Mexican restaurant. I didn’t feel like doing much on Sunday because we had been out of town the day before because my youngest sister graduated from nursing school. The school is 2 hours away so I basically drove for 4 hours on Saturday.
My daughter’s class made cards and painted watering cans to give as gifts to their moms. Rhiannon did a really good job on hers. Gifts like that are the best!

I tag anyone who wants to talk about their Mother’s Day! :D

I am done with school for this semester. I ended up with 2 As and a B. I really wanted all As but the B was in my computerized accounting class so I’m not going to complain. I don’t like accounting so I’m not that great at it. If I liked it, I probably would have had an A :D .
I would love to be working right now, but I’d probably have to drive at least 30 minutes to get a decent job and gas is just too high. I mean unless I could make really good money, it’s just not worth it. I’m not expecting to get rich after I graduate, but I should be making decent money. I have a lot of stuff I want to do around the house but no extra money. It’s aggravating. The coils on our a/c started freezing up this week. Thankfully,Our a/c unit is under warranty so we didn’t have to pay to have it fixed. The guy came by around 10 am and it took him maybe 15 minutes to fix it. I am so glad because it gets hot here.

Well I think I’m going to go and start on supper now. We’re having taco burgers..yum!

I need a new mailbox

We need a new mailbox. The one we have is plastic and it never stays shut. Unless you make sure that it closes all the way, the least little thing will make it open. I’m thinking about getting another one.

Mailboxiexchange has a large selection. They have all types of mailboxes, even ones that can be locked. I am also in need of a decorative post and Mailboxiexchange has those as well. In fact, they have all sorts of mailbox acessories. So if you’re in the market for a new mailbox and/or accessories check them out!
