Similasaaaaaahhhhn


Posted by Sun T.

This stuff works wonders. I was so shocked that the very first drop soothed my ear. I had such a wicked ear ache that I was seriously considering banging my head against the wall because it would DULL the pain. I went to the store last night and got some Similasan Earache Relief Ear Drops so I could live. I love homeopathic products, and this is added to the list.

My ear is still “stuffy” but it doesn’t hurt :D


FLEAS@!!!


Posted by Sun T.

Sergeants Nature’s Guardian flea and tickI found that Coby all of a sudden acquired fleas from somewhere. Apparently, the flea collar that we have only had on him for about 2 months no longer works SO I went out and bought some things to get him back to normal. I was looking for garlic tablets, but the local pet store was out. I ended up at the super store buying Nature’s Guardian flea and tick repellent. This stuff worked on contact. I am glad that I didn’t buy the way more expensive brands. This is all natural, which is a plus in my book. I got him some Brewer’s Yeast with Garlic yesterday, too. He eats them up and looks for more. I will definitely have to keep them around. All in all, it wasn’t THAT expensive to treat him. The package of repellent was $8.88 and it gives you 3 doses.


Crochet as a business?


Posted by Sun T.

I have been reading up a lot on the viability of such a business opportunity. I don’t really know if I want to crochet for profit officially. I am scared of the volume. I am also worried that the products will be hot to start with and then die down to nothing. I would be left with lots of product and no buyers. That has happened to me before. Enthusiastic beginnings with sad ends do not suit me. I have only one business venture that continues to pay out at this moment… but I really need to make some more income somewhere. Crochet takes a lot of time and care. Do I have the time to make such a commitment? If I start with many customers and orders, will that continue on? Will I make what my product is really worth? *sigh* Signs point to no on a lot of those counts… but I could try it just once and see what happens, right?

Mommy, you need that!


Posted by Sun T.

We can hardly watch TV in our house. Every commercial with those things that you normally find in stores marked “as seen on tv“, my son screams “MOMMY You need to get that!”. Then he proceeds to tell me how I can use it in the house. He does the same for things he wants from the commercials. I end up telling him what my mother told me when I would say these things to her:

“We’ll see”

Yes, the dreaded words of childhood. It’s always that or “Go ask your father” LOL


Pieces, pieces everywhere

I am glad that my son is finally finding out the value of puzzles. I hate finding pieces of jigsaw puzzle all over the house. We have at least 4 puzzles that will never be complete again. I took to putting them in labeled plastic bags, hoping that it would help him to keep them organized. It’s finally paying off! His book of puzzles is still intact. His borrowed Diego puzzle is also intact. I am so proud of him. He is finally gaining a sense of responsibility and care for his items and those owned by others.


Why does gas have to cost so much?

So much that I can’t afford to drive to church today… :( It saddens me. My youth group misses me so much and I miss them, too. I enjoyed going last week. I got to see all my kids. They aren’t “kids” anymore. Most of them are graduating high school this year. Then they will be off to the four corners of the earth pursuing their fortunes. I just wish I could be more a part of it all. I hate being so far from them. Of course, the word in the church is off the hinge. That is the first thing that drew me in. It’s the church of my heart, right now. I am glad we live where we live, but the near hour drive back to the church is just too much…*stupid gas prices*.
