Smells like......

All this swine flu talk has got me craving bacon.

Or perhaps it is time I get some of this stuff.........
BACONNAISE
Bacon flavored spread.
The best part? There is NO bacon in it!
It is vegetarian and kosher.

100 days

Happy 100 days Mr. President.
As a gift, we got you Arlen Specter.

What's it worth?

A comment left on this post has left me a little agitated.


I did a little research and last year before Mother's Day salary.com released their annual survey that calculates a stay-at-home mother's fair market value. In 2008 dollars (I realize that amount may be less in 2009 dollars) a stay at home mother would earn $117,000 a year.

I'm not at home eating bon bons and watching Young and the Restless. I give up sleep to be able to blog.

I realize that I am lucky to be able to stay at home with my children, but to suggest that it is not a job?

PLEASE!!!

POWERFUL


Just recently it was brought to my attention that I had the POWER!!!
At some point in our lives we have probably all wished we were a super hero. My sisters and I used to play Wonder Woman when we were little. Lynda Carter is SO HOT! I don't even remember what she used her Wonder power for, I just know she had a rockin' outfit.
If you could be a super hero what would your super power be?
What would your super hero name be?
My super power would be invisibility. I drive by houses and always wonder what they look like on the inside so I would use my power to look around houses that I think look cool. I would be called INVISI-GIRL!! The only bad part is that when you are invisible you don't get to wear a cool super hero costume. I would have to come up with something to wear to all the superhero parties.

Earth Day


Cliff did his part by changing a regular light bulb to this eco-friendly one this morning.


Jack has an Earth Day song.

hi ho hi ho

For the past almost two months, Cliff had been working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week straight. Not one day off.

A week ago last Friday that came to an end. That was good. It was WAY to much. The money was great, but the hours were killing Cliff and not doing me much good either.

On top of the overtime ending, Cliff got laid off. Not that big of a deal. He should go back to work soon. It is par for the course when you are a Union Laborer of any kind.

This Friday it will be two weeks that Cliff has been laid off.

Two weeks that we have all been home together. All the time.

The first day Cliff realized that maybe I did not have it as easy as he thought I did.

A couple days later he thought maybe I did not have it that bad.

He watches Westerns all the time. He does not want to watch American Idol. The VIEW is not for him.

I'm going a little stir crazy. I want the Union Hall to call.

Yesterday we went to Effingham. I got some hangers to try to display some of my purses. I showed Cliff where I wanted them and went to feed Harrison. When I was finished he showed me what he had done.......................................
He had even hung up all the purses and displayed them on the bench.

Pretty nice huh???

I did this with an old trunk...........................

So after that, I felt like maybe it was not so bad having Cliff here all the time.

A few hours later he asked why I did not drink more water. I told him I had not even had ONE diet coke ALL day!! He pointed out that I had one in the car on the way to Effingham (in my mind one is like negative five on the diet coke scale so it does not even count) and went on to say how I could be SO much healthier if I drank less tea and diet coke and more water. It's time for him to go back to work.
