Big Brother told me that when he gets older, he’s building a dog park. The kid is only 4 years old! He says he’s going to build ramps, and jumps, and have a stick in the ground with a big round thing like a doughnut. I finally figured out he meant a hoop.

He decided he’s going to make a walking trail in the woods as well.

Isn’t he too cute?

The game….

The Princess is going to the homecoming game tonight. This is her first school football game I think. Of course she went to her fair share of Pop Warner games growing up as her (3) brothers/stepbrothers all played.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is Mexican Fiesta at camp. I’m making Beef and Rice Enchiladas. You can see how to make it on the recipe page here on this blog.

House Rules

The other day I did a post about House Rules….

Like Roasted Chicken?

Check out the Stainless Folding Chicken Rack!

I bought mine during the summer and used it on the grill.

OMG- the chicken was sooo good!

On Christmas Eve I decided to have roasted chicken. I dug out the Chicken Rack and used it in the oven. It worked great!

Here’s the chick, not too happy about her situation……..

"You're going to EAT me?"

It was delicious and we’ve had chicken salad sandwiches for lunch the last two days.

Interested in purchasing one? It’s under $6.00 here – just click the pic:

Back to school woes and “the pic”

Carolee — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 13:07:13 +0000

Friday Fragments

Back to camp

We head back to camp as soon as the Princess gets home from school- if she goes. Her Rheumatologist called yesterday- apparently the insurance won’t pay for her Humira script unless she has had a TB tine test.

I checked her immunizations and don’t see where she’s had it, so we have to run into the city this morning- about 25 miles- to get the test done.

Depending on how long it takes, I may not even bring her to school. It’s one of those “wasted days” at school, no attendance necessary in my opinion. They are playing games all day and picking team names…the grades have different “teams”.

All the kids on the black team have the same teachers for English, Math, etc….just different periods. All the kids on the red team have a different set of teachers. The Princess has been having some issues with the arthritis, so wouldn’t join in the games anyway.

More school stuff….

I already mentioned in a previous post that the Princess has a new guidance councilor – apparently there is a new nurse, new dean or principal (whatever) and several new teachers.

Sounds to me like a school full of adults who have never worked together, and may not be on the same page as far as rules and such.

Sorry to be so negative about the school situation, Mrs. 444. You sound like a great teacher and I have known many great ones, but I don’t like the school politics and such…

One more school gripe…school supplies!

I shelled out another $28.00 on school supplies yesterday, after spending about $50.00 the other day…and the Princess STILL needs more!

Hello, why do I pay school taxes? And to tell the truth (you teachers out there can correct me if I’m wrong) many teachers have to buy some of their own supplies. At least the teachers did in the school I worked in several years ago. And I know several teachers that bought supplies for some of the kids in their class who couldn’t afford them.

What’s in the pic?

In my post on September 1st, I asked what you saw in the pics- this what I saw:

The arrow on the left points to an angel that I see. The arrow on the right points to what looks like a cross to me. What do you see?

Tracy, of A Slice of Smith Life saw a hand on the right holding a log.

Alicia, from Beth Six saw a jack-o-lantern or maybe a tree.

My dear Uncle Bill, from NO BLOG (hint-hint) saw a dog barking on the right and a snake on the left.

As I said in my comments, “Are you SURE we’re related?”

CinchCast- a cool new Internet tool

Check out my 1st cinchcast on www.bloggingbizmom.com – the widget is on the sidebar. I did it from my Blackberry. It is soooo cool!

And now I must get going so I can take the Princess to the docs soon……..see you all over the weekend and into early next week.

Looking to make money on your blog?

I just can’t say enough about this affiliate program. It’s perfect for mom blogs. Who doesn’t like to save money? Better yet, who doesn’t like to make money? It’s a great little extra for the Work at Home Mom. And if you’re not a Work at Home Mom, you can be one with affiliate marketing.

I made $36.33 last month with WeUseCoupons. They sent a check – was I surprised when I got the mail! I mean I knew I was getting paid- they emailed me and told me so. But amongst everything, I sort of forgot….

I know to many $36.33 isn’t a killing, but it’s not bad for the first month with something…if I actually got out and REALLY marketed it, I’m sure it would be more. And, add that $36.33 to the money I make with other programs….it all adds up.

I’m ready to hit $100.00 with another program……..I set my account to pay when I hit $100.00. Cool!

I love affiliate marketing.

Headless chickens?

Carolee — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:09:56 +0000

The weekend is here again. Boy, has it been a week! I’ve been busy trying to get my newsletter together as well as getting the camper ready to roll next week.

Friday Fragments

Waz Happenin….

My daughter announced she wants to go back to public school. I got quite emotional about it! Poor kid! You can read the post HERE.

Tuesday night I had my network marketing meeting with other local business owners. Only two others showed up, but we had a great brainstorming session. Between the coffee and the ideas bouncing around in my head, I could barely sleep.

Yesterday we went to the science museum. We went to the iMax movie, where I proceeded to fall asleep. I know, how can you fall asleep with a screen that surrounds you and is quite LOUD at times?

Dead Chickens….

There is something getting our chickens. I had found a dead one in the coop several days ag0. I figured it died of old age.

Then, Ron and I thought we had less chickens in the coop. We had previously moved most of them out of the coop and in with he ducks, but hadn’t gotten to several of them yet.

We counted them to be sure we knew how many were left in there.

Well, I go to feed them the other day and there’s one missing. I found it behind the building, headless!

The next day, another dead one.

So we got all but two out. One hen was skittish so we decided to wait another day and try to secure things better.

This morning, the rooster was dead. Ron moved the last chicken in with the ducks and other chickens.

Hopefully our hungry friend will move on….

The Great New York State Fair!

The fair is coming and I don’t know if I want to go. Honestly, we only go every couple of years and in my opinion it seems like the same old stuff.

AND, since we are late coming into the camping season, I hate to give up any of my time there.

As it is, I just found out we have a family reunion one of those weekends………at least that’s being held at a cousins maybe an hour or two away, so we can go for the day or pitch a tent and stay all weekend.

My mom said to bring the camper. I told her no way- once I have it parked and set up the way I want, it’s not moving!

So anyway, my mom is going to the fair, and I believe my aunt from Colorado (who’s coming back for the reunion…).

But I just don’t feel like it…..unless my cuz and best friend comes back from Colorado, too! They HAVE surprised me a few times before..

Otherwise, maybe I’ll just invite them to camp……

Texting Torture

I seem to have a problem texting- does this happen to you, too?

Yippee, Skippie I got paid!

I know I’ve told you guys about this site a few times- I mean who doesn’t like saving money? But I’ve also posted when I’ve MADE money, too. The other day, payment was made into my PayPal account, so now I know they pay up.

Hey, you never REALLY know until you see the money!

But this affiliate pays off, and it has been one of the easiest money makers I have. And I ALREADY have more earnings in my account!

The Weekend

So what’s everyone doing this weekend? You know what we’ll be doing- the camper!

Of course, Ron has been busy with work 24/7 the last 2-3 days. He’s a diesel mechanic on call, so he may have no calls for a day or two, or get calls back to back. Or be called out at 3 a.m. to fix a truck on the side of the thruway.

What guy wouldn’t like a job like that? You can never PROMISE to fix something, or go somewhere, or be here for dinner.

Because that phone may go off right when you’re ready to eat……

Hope you all have a Happy and Safe one!
