Well, I was going to do daily ToDo lists

but its just one of those things that keeps me at the computer for extra minutes during the day. LOL

But I am going to start working on a better schedule of some sort to help me get back on track, then stay on track.


My chores for tomorrow include :

Scrubbing the kitchen floor - I've been putting it off or just getting by with it the WetJet for much too long

Laundry to get put away - another thing that's been put off and put off

Winter clothes to go thru and get out, either put to wash or hung

"junk" cupboards to get cleaned out and organized - two of them have been used to just stash things in behind child proof latches

Two shelves to get hung back up in the living room - took them down the other day, didn't get a chance to get them back up.

Put up some other shelving up on the walls in the kids' room & living room - nixed this idea

Find the stupid cricket that is in the house and get rid of it...its DRIVING ME NUTS! Brian took care of this last night for me.

And last, but not least, actually the only thing I've been stressing about not being able to get done - is mow the lawn. It keeps raining every morning, and not drying out by the time Mikaila goes down for a nap, so I've been unable to get it done, my mom is going to be here tomorrow, JIC so I can just get it done. - nearly all done, one small section, the last section, still not done as we were ran out by Yellow Jackets, going to get rid of them later with boiling water and dish soap, once they think the coast is clear. :D

I also got the bedroom vacuumed and looking pretty again - YAY!

Another Note To Self/Adoring Public ..LOL

Health Care and my personal take of what the CEO of Whole Foods had brought up the other day, that was broadcast on the evening news....I have a bit of research to do first, plus a house to attempt to buy in the morning, and it's way after my bedtime at this time, but I do feel the guy hit the nail squarely on the head. I wanted to add in my personal experience with this particular "pricing" of doctors, and shopping around, in contrast with "insurance" costs.

The cusp of my personal experience :

My personal care provider charges me, a cash paying patient, with no insurance, a whole $55-70 per visit to see him, $25-55 to see his NP. Now, if I had insurance I have a guaranteed minimum co-pay of around $20-40 per visit...but here's the catch...my Dr who only charges me, a cash patient, $55 for a visit, will charge the insurance company a MINIMUM of $150 for the exact same visit. And we wonder why I don't pay for insurance? Over the course of a year I pay roughly 75% LESS for my medical care than I would JUST paying for the insurance. I'll expand on this at another time.

Thank you Heather for reminding me, however unintentionally.

Reminder to Self...or You, my Adoring Audience.

ROFLMAO

I must remember to find some time to blog about :

**A charming "friend" who informed me that her daughter is a cheerleader, therefore she doesn't have to study...this was mentioned while I was letting Mikeal know about the new rules starting on Monday - that he's to write his spelling words 5 times each night and the definition on Mondays. Now I know Mikeal can spell these words without a single issue...his handwriting though needs just a little bit of improvement, IMO, and it'll do him well to start learning how to use a dictionary and the different meanings of the words....but anyways, whole rant about the "cheerleader" mentality of things, especially around these parts....

**"Best" Friends, of the opposite sex, while you're married...

**Ex-Husband and why he's the ex, in addition to the reasons why I'd rather he rot in jail than actually pay a dime of child support.

**Small rant about infomercials selling some product that's supposed to boost your vocabulary & grammar skills, as the folks in the commercial stutter and stammer over their practiced lines.

**I must also remember to keep a better account of the drama that is consistent with my neighbors. ...especially since I haven't picked a single tomato in over a week, where I was getting 5-10 a DAY off my plants, I can go check for tomatoes, have a few just almost ready, and the next day there are none.

**Also included with the update on the neighbor drama - the 16y/o now has a car, is getting ready to get his license...I don't even want to think about it...Its not a license to have "fun" ...its a license to operate a lethal weapon,. trust me I know, I know more people to of died from a car wreck than have died from any other reason, combined...that includes my 77 year old grandma who was making a left hand turn into church when an idiot jerk in a hurry decided to pass her, on the left, going over 60mph.

**Another bit about the first week of school...drama drama...

**Also I must update you about everything that went on this month in regards to attempting to buy that house, everything else that went on, and plans for this upcoming month.

This blog entry is a public service announcement to those of you who read my blog and might wonder what's up with me not posting anything, or the post being quick adn to the point, with a bit of vagueness to them....quite simply, I've been sucked into Facecrack busy or been avoiding trying to think too much on such things hence the getting sucked into Facecrack.

So that's that. Not sure when I'll get to it...Sunday I have to go get laundry done, will be at my mom's for a decent chunk of the day doing that. Monday I'm going to be talking to a guy about buying one of his houses off of him and what we're able to work out with that...it'll qualify better than the other one, pricier, but also BRAND NEW, never lived in, and bigger!...and still affordable to us, but also comes with a touch of land and is in the same school district Mikeal is in currently, so I don't have to deal with switching schools if we do get this place. Tuesday I have grandiose plans of getting my bedroom redone...well arranged differently anyways...as well as grocery shopping - Brian's off work, so I should be able to go all by myself - WOOT!

I'll shoot for Wednesday to get started on something of this list. LOL Just don't hold your breath.
