    Hubby made white chicken chili and homemade bread bowls for dinner yesterday. Then we had it for supper, so we're out of that. Tonight...hmmm, guess I need to go dig in the freezer and hope for some inspiration. My hubby will be feeding the kids tonight and I have to leave and go pick up the...

    The Separate Property Tax Thread

    We just got reassessed - AGAIN! and we own about 3 1/4 acres and our taxes are up to $3000 a year. We put an addition on and that's killing us, but you'd think the falling down barn, the crappy shed, and the slumpy garage would offset some of that. If I could get some animals on here, then...

    Stock up alert!

    Also a bug from Asia got in to the Hawaiin coffee plants - and they don't have a way to control it, yet.

    What did you do to save $ today?

    I went shopping in my freezer and did the great frozen tundra dig. Yeah, found a bunch of hamburger that we had gotten that I forgot about. Not old, just buried for a couple of months. So, even though hamburger is on sale this week, found enough to justify not going to the store, except for...

    Schooling your child to void his bowels outside on the leash!

    Nope, mine too, but she doesn't back over the hill, she's usually head down, ready to topple into the ditch at any second. :idunno

    Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

    I've never smoked (except for those I snuck while I was babysitting at 15, but the house smelled like smoke, so no one was the wiser :P) But I am going to make some observations after reading about you these last few months: 1. You have a great relationship with God 2. You have a very strong...

    Weren't you issued one at the hospital???? That's what I tell my kids. I got the "Mommy Book" at the hospital and they don't get one until they get married and have kids. It even has Santa Claus's phone number in it, and Santa has gotten phone calls before.

    They don't scare me, but I sure don't like them. I love seeing them as cat food when the outside kitties get them.

    Seriously, this mouse stops in the space between the living room and kitchen and LOOKS at me. Yuck. Oh yeah, and my husband was cleaning out a cupboard to make more room for canning jars and I hear this: "You have got to be kidding me." This translated into me thinking, "Yuck, he found a...

    Unfortunately, I've had my share of those days, too. She was pushing every button this morning and then to flood the bathroom. :ep I really need an hour to myself - which should have been during naptime, which was absolutely nonexistant today - to prepare myself and get ready for my Catechist...

    I am not winning the Mother of the Year Award. Let's just get that out there right now. Let's also get it out there that I didn't murdelize them, but I seriously considered. To start the day 3YO didn't get enough sleep and we have already suffered through MAJOR TODDLER MELTDOWN twice today...

    Now I have to do one for Wisconsinites

    Heck, I'm from by Green Bay and we'd rather associate with those Yoopers than those weirdos in Milwaukee and Madison - let Illinois have them both.

    Brand new disposal. He drilled a "drain" hole into a large board that we dump the quartered apples onto. Then, it gets fed through the disposal and falls into a bucket underneath. Not the most appetizing looking stuff underneath, but it sure did squeeze out a lot more cider than we've ever...

    Yeah, Pup is all better. Rice diet (and immodium) must have helped. Another 7 quarts of pickled crabapples done yesterday. Cooked the rest of them in water, so I can make jelly. I need to do that jelly and the wild grape jelly tomorrow. Today, 3YO and I went over my Mom and Dad's house to...

    Ohiofarmgirl'sAdventuresinTheGoodLand-where ya been? whatcha been doin

    She did a really good job, just needed a little help after adding too much butter - yes, there is such a thing, because it messed up the crunch part. But it is yummy, and we had it with homemade whipped cream.
