Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

For some reason my kiddo can't seem to wrap her head around the idea that things cost money, and every penny adds up. She acts as if things like that are "no big deal" and I shouldn't get upset over it. Of course, this is the same kid who murdered two microwaves within 3 months of each other by microwaving a fork and aluminum foil. And she did again shortly afterward in the new one I made HER buy...so I have decided when it is HER money, and HERS alone(when she gets her first place and things) maybe MAYBE then she will learn lol! I have given up on that idea for now She's too hard headed and self righteous at the moment. Typical teenager in SO many ways. At least she isn't drinking and partying or boy crazy. If I had to pick, I'd choose her, because even though she drives me mad sometimes, she is a WHOLE LOT better than most I have met!!! She's just quirky

The mud here is awful. I all but sink. It was the one positive to below 0 temps----- frozen mud

24 hours of rain and all the snow/ice, except for the piles, is gone. Only 60-some days until Spring.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Yay Spring!

 

[hqueen13]

Spring?! Where??? I don't See no spring! Lol

 

[frustratedearthmother]

I know...
But we've been in the 70's for a couple days now, so I can dream, lol!

AND- its FJ's fault for even mentioning the "S" word.

Sap buckets are going to be put out in a few weeks, yes, SPRING is on its way!

 

[hqueen13]

If I had sap buckets I'd be excited... but I don't and I know How long its really going to take to really warm up good and it can't get here fast enough!

I have Spring in the bedroom...starting to grow in little tiny trays Making pizza, cheesy breadsticks, and poppers for dinner. DH is driving me crazy with the cooking lately, every meal, he wants something cooked...expects a full breakfast all of a sudden....I think he's bored. It is cold out and he can't really handle the cold. Bless it...gonna have to whack him with my big skillet if it keeps up

Anyway, not much to report. Still too darn cold to do much.

OH WAIT...one thing...we may have new neighbors They seem pretty nice, just waiting for the financing paperwork to be signed off as official. They came out today to pump out the storm shelter, and couldn't get their pump going, so I went to be nosey and ask if they needed help. They had no tools with them, so i got our socket set and took over there and he got it going in just a few minutes. The boys, age 7 and 12 HAD to come see what's on the other side of the fence The eldest wants quail this summer. I told him i would teach him about them and how to raise them and give him some eggs and loan him an incubator to learn them start to finish. He seems pretty pleased with that Very sweet kids. They have an older girl about DD's age, but she was too wrapped up in her boyfriend to come say hi....JUST like DD usually...so she gets a pass lol! I hope they get the house and get in there soon before some lunatic gets it I went to school with the mom, so, hopefully, she hasn't changed a whole lot and is still the nice girl I remember. But ya know how life can change you so I'm still a bit leary

Here's hoping.
