Today's Adventure

Yeah so I don't blog every day... My life is pretty busy, but also kind of boring in some ways! Where to begin... My dad is traveling right now. He and his wife are in China visiting her family. Last Monday he came and brought me chickens so I could take care of them for him. He fixed up a pen here and brought a little coop over for them. I had to feed them twice a day. Friday morning when I woke up they were all dead A dog had come in and tore them up. They only took about four or five but they killed all thirteen of them. Not only were they dead, but they were also messy! I felt terrible, but he took the news rather well. He spent a lot of time getting things ready to bring them here so I felt even worse about that!

Jimmy starts his new job this Thursday! So much to do and running very short on time! :) I am so happy for him though! We went shopping last night and he got a new pair of jeans and khakis to wear to work. I am pretty sure it is jeans and t shirt conditions, but we shall see! He only has the one pair of good jeans now because he has worked in his other jeans. We were needing to get him some clothes anyway! I had bought him a shirt a few weeks ago when I went shopping with my sister. That was a blast! Last night I also got an outfit from JCPenney. I got a very cute striped button up shirt with a matching belt that ties and a super cute straight cut gray skirt! Man I looked good! LOL That is for me to wear to ladies seminar in a few weeks. I was volunteered to greet people. I totally didn't want to, but I got saddled with the job anyway! Now I need a pair of matching shoes that are cute and comfortable. I really need at least one more outfit also. I was afraid I was spending too much but when I got up there to check out they were both on sale! Lucky me!

I still haven't made the dry laundry soap yet. I need to look up the recipe again and see how much I am supposed to use! I am looking forward to it, but also afraid it will cost a lot more to make than the liquid kind does. I guess if it will be too much more I will be making the liquid kind again!

I was asked to fix my friend's hair for her wedding on April 10. I need to look up some hairstyles on line. I already have an idea, but not sure what it will look like yet. We are going to practice it on Thursday. It should be fun, but I am also nervous because I don't want it to look bad on her wedding day!

Next week my kids will be going to school on Monday and Wednesday! This will be weird to my son who has never been anything but home-schooled! They are very excited about it! Trinity agreed to watch them for a few hours for about three weeks while my dad is out of town. She has wanted them to come to school there, but it cost too much for us without Jimmy's income and another down side is the drive down there twice a day. I totally would if I could though. They need more interaction than what they get here!

I need to shut up and get busy now. I have my midterm in my intro to social work class tomorrow. It is the first test in the class and I am super nervous! The first one is always the worst because you never know what to expect! I haven't studied near enough yet, so I need to go back and finish up my flashcards!
