Oh....and my DD26 (the one with a master's degree in biology) decides to tell me last night that she made lye in chemistry class in about an hour. Well, thanks baby girl :(

Okay.....so update on my problem....I just needed another day and was able to pop out. But maybe I can get another mold to fix a larger batch and get all fancy.

Will do. I would have told DS, but he seldom likes any of my ideas, until he sees they actually working and serve him in some capacity, but you guys seem to understand some of my game plans a little better....and some of my motives. So my weight is spiraling out of control and I am envious of...

As warm as it is now, you'd think I could care less, but I'm in prep mode. Afraid of failure or something, so I keep motivating myself. Well, I was hanging my wet clothes onto hangers and putting them to dry in my room, because its easier and cooler than to put them outside, but I did put my...

Oh Lord!!! Thats cold. I have a potbelly stove. What do you burn in? I think I chopped 2 logs yesterday. If I chop and DS happens to be driving up and he sees me splitting, he joins in. All I need to do is point out a log that gave me difficulties and he acts like,"Oh thats nothing," and...

Maybe you can sneak small project in.....not take the plunge but chop your electricity needs just a bit. I want to replace my refrigerator with a gas/propane one because I am a little less intimidated by the idea of methane than solar. The basics get in my brain faster.

I want to figure solar out a little here and there. It does seem overwhelming to me. I just got a solar powered gate, just today installed. Years ago, we got prices on solar panels and spoke with a man with a local company and he tried to get us started with a hot water heater, which at...

I have been playing with some soap recipes, which sound similar to the ingredients you have mentioned. Bought a book with recipes, calling for olive oil and I think they all have lye in them. I did that because the glycerine I was using, got too expensive. Well, I only attempted a very basic...

Thanks. Well, my 2 little ones are gone to spend time with DH, but he is on his on time, so I will end up 'babysitting' so he and DD19 can both work. But I get my whole bed tonight. So its cool to brainstorm with a guy I'm not married to, who is actually working for me. He can't shoot me...

Everyday, I have been trying to get a little more into the garden. Today, I had an evil, wild thought, while I found my 4 tractor tire planters.....maybe I can plant something in there.....which totally goes against my plan to container garden. And its not a good idea anyway. It gets too hot...

Another 300+ spent on 2X4s and concrete today to finish off work that has already begun. Want so bad to call everything quits. It has costed more than I wanted. Goat is working on weed control, in the hopes she finds the top of my birdbath, before that heavy lawnmower does. DS just getting...

I pulled my weight around this morning a bit. I have a hatch going on with ducklings, but they not all popping out Maybe I did some funny math. I have a dead duckling and one fuzzy little Rouen. Seems like I would be seeing mostly muscovy ducklings, but maybe because I'm treating them as...

Started going wild in my yard at about 5:00PM yesterday and looking out at my accomplishments. Love it. And really perfect timing. The sun has set enough and things are much cooler and mosquitos aren't out yet. Might do it again today. I was trying to find a clearing in the garden area so...

I know its late in the year for planting. I am also very late. Hope not too late. I should be fine, so long as I can keep things cool, but I wasn't overly stressed because this year I want to go totally container planting. I hope you do well.

He probably was under the influence. That is the reason for such improvements in drainage to my barn. I buried my sorrows....all his empty wine and beer bottles. It sounds like she got him on board last night. Well my shipment of Life Vantage came in yesterday, so maybe I start taking today...

I want to be sleeping but DH called me flipping out over what dance school to send DD12 to. I want to help godchild start a new school and was going to give her my full support, but DH wants her to stay put, which means going to godchild's competition. Well, he was all crazy on me and then...

So.....this is a story of why I can't get anything done in an orderly fashion. I drank coffee and got dressed and headed out to do my chores, which I was planning on just putting the goat to work on weeds, feeding and watering everything else. That should have only taken 15 minutes. Then I...

Feel so bad for the family of my at large boy. Well, hope he is at least safe. Told other guy I still want all the supplies I bought to be used ASAP, so we can come into the homestretch and halt everything, but it will take him longer because other guy is gone. Time waits for no one and it...

I showed up in the coop, not a minute too late. Nothing is out of the egg yet, but something is peeping and has broken a half inch. Well, they are all in lockdown. I have been loving looking out onto my yard because the full-grown flock is stuck in the coop, but the babies have been loose...

I probably have a hatch about to take place in the coop with 4 nests. I think its safe to say, I best plug in the incubator and kidnap everything because as soon as the hatching starts, so will the custody battles. Busy fast day. Have to leave town for recital. Can't wait for this to be...
