Wednesday

Well I am half way through watching the dogs and taking care of the house for my inlaws while they are on vacation. This last week has been busy with me getting the house done well ....... to be honest it was and has been busy for my DH. He has been doing more in the house then I have. Their is only one thing time consuming for me this last week, Laundry. Yep you would not think so with the technology today but if you look at it from a different perspective we have not really made anything as far as laundry is concerned that is convienient. When we didnt have a washing machine or a dryer we had less clothes am I right. Come on noone wants to take the time to hand wash as many clothes as we do know. This lowers our pocket books with alot more then it did then when women had three dresses two for chores and one for church in the summer and the same amount in the winter. Know we have books and magazines that show us how to enlarge our closets or to find places for all of our clothes that we have to have. But I am going off on a tagent that I should really stop really.
Laundry for me is taking awhile because A. I have no dryer and B. It has been raining every other day of the week if not a sprinkle everyday. It would be one thing if it only rained because a little rain will soften the clothes but with this rain there has been lots of wind which of course takes the clothes off the line before I want them to. So I have four to five more loads of laundry that needs to be done and lo and behold it is raining today again. AWWWWWW!
Anyway, The boys did play a little while in the pool today and yesterday. They have also really loved the sprinkler. Ava is warming up to the house it only took three weeks not three days as everyone else suggested. Our yard is coming together and our new front porch will be built on friday thank God! Also on a important note for me not anyone else but me I guess according to the rest of the family is that my compost is really starting to do its thing. I am in a major need of a pitch fork or rake something to turn it over since we are already starting to get wet soggy stuff at the bottom Yeah!! I will have good compost in time for next years garden already. That so far is what has been going on in my life.
Thanks to anyone that reads this.... sorry my life is not exciting but it is just that my wonderful and to me exciting life with my DH, My two boys and our dog Ava.

Well I havent written a new entry in a looong time. I have been without internet since we moved. I will get pictures for everyone what the house looks like now since we have started remodeling the house. The boys wanted red like in the Disney movie Cars. So that is what they got but of course it took two coats of paint in order to do it. Then we painted to living/ dining room combination area a really light blue and the bottom half of the walls a white color. We laid new floor and it turned out better then we thought. We have to put a front deck on the house since the deck that was there is already falling apart. The people before us didnt know how to take care of anything I think oh well. Anyway the kids are soooo excited because the back yard is big enought to have our dog Ava in and a nice size pool for the kids and us to atleast cool off in the summer heat.
Unfortunatly with the weather this summer they have yet to be able to get into the pool. Also our plans of a garden were short lived since we got there so late in the year and we have no money for a tiller and dont know anyone that can till it or plow it as I have been told with how big we want it and the fact it hasnt been tilled in a looooong time like 6 years or so that we might have to plow it. Anyway that will have to be next year. I will keep everyone updated with what is going on in this area of the world more often but I have to get to my MIL house more often since that is the only place I can get online we still have no internet out where we live.

Anyway I am still going strong as a vegetarian and couldnt be more happy about my decision to be one. I have met more people that are also vegetarians and am so excited that I am not the only one in this area. I have found that alot more grocery stores are getting into the vegetarian circles if you will and even the vegan circles as well but there is one that I still have a huge problem with they have the smallest vegetarian /vegan area in their store and I am sure we all know which store that is. well if you dont it is Wal-mart. I can not believe that they dont have a vegetarian or vegan section when they scream that they have everything that one person needs. Well..... only if you are a meat eating person or you dont mind animals dying for clothing and such oh an you like not american made products. I will tell you that my family does still shop their but not by choice that is the only thing with the economy the way it is that one can afford and still feed their family. I do however shop for food at other stores that are more animal friendly and earth friendly. We dont have a Kmart here we have a Dollar General and Dollar tree but lets face it they are even worse with there chemical laden products that you can actually smell coming off the clothes.

Well ..... sorry for the soap box will post more later hopefully I will have pictures as well.
