Murphy won!

Ok Murphy you won!  Wow the a/c man here today saying the a/c is frozen up where the coils are and they have to order parts. Could take a week. I looked at him and said do you know where I live sir. He laughed.  Lord!  I need you to give me the strength to get through this hot and humid week while I am waiting for the part to come in.  Also, Lord please bring winter early this year. Amen.

I just don't know how people lived without air years ago or how they work outside down here with out air. One thing I do admire them more now. Wow! I hate summers in south Texas.  I am sitting here writing this and sweat is pouring off my back its 109 inside here.  I just hope we get winter fast.  

Love, Hate thing going on.

Did you ever have this love, hate thing going on. Well I do with warranties right now. Love them they help pay for things and you don't have to worry about where the money will come from to fix the problem. Then you have to hate them because you can only go to there people in there group.  
Well this tropical storm Hermine decide it wanted to come and visit us and before it came it decide we didn't need the air anymore.  hmmmmmmmm I don't know who they were fooling. We need it. 
Now we are sitting here in the house that reads 90 inside, windows open all the fans going and nothing. I have taken two cool showers and it wasn't for the reason you all think. Its because I was hot. 
They told me this afternoon when I talk to them if we get no more rain they will be out Thursday late hopeful if not Friday or Monday next week. I said what! Do you know we have no air?  She said yea but it's not 100 outside no its not its 100 in my house you turkey.  Oh man you got to love those people they are so sweet and caring. Wish there were more people like them in the world.

Back from Camping!

What a wonderful trip we had camping with the family and some wonderful friends.  We did alot of hiking.. got alot of rain the first night.  But, we aren't complaining its much need rain and sure cool down the temps. for awhile.  We seen alot of wild life.  Lots of deers they even came right up to our table this morning when we were eating pancakes and wanted some.  Bunnies out of this world.  Wild turkeys they were so cute, and even several armadillos.  It was so neat to see all the wild life once again. In the city the only wild life we see are people running here and there, giving me and others the good ole California howdy.  At least they are friendly.   Got home this afternoon to alot of rain from a tropical storm coming our way.  More rain sure makes the grass grown. Shhhhh don't tell the wolf girls that then they will get upset because they have to mow again.  We also came home to no a/c our a/c is out yea great wonderful.  No one working on Labor Day so we are here in the house with no a/c and praying someone will come tomorrow in the storm if not pray we can open windows with out getting everything wet inside. Man if it doesn't rain it pours.  That's one thing I learn about life, there is always something going on to keep you busy and make the world go around.

Coupon Queen!

That is what they called me today when I went shopping for our camping trip.  When I got in line to check out I had tons of coupons this middle age couple behind me said are they worth all the work. I said I think they are.  I said just watch. So my total came too $199.00 wow almost $200.00 I just about flip my lid.  Then I hand her the coupons and got it down to $128.00 what a big saving. Not bad for 2 weeks of food for a family of 4.  I love coupons. I had tons of free coupons, most my coupons were for $1.00 off this or that.  Now I need to go looking for more coupons to re- build my supply, so in two weeks I am ready.  If you haven't try  using coupons give it a try it is worth it.

Going Camping!

Well we love RVing so much and miss it we bought and use one from Alaska its a 1989 older one but in great shape.  We are going to go camping this week end.  Going to a state park here in Texas. Would like to go some place cooler but would have to almost leave the state.  We are just all going to relax, do some hiking and much need rest.  Do some smores by  the fire.   I hope you all have a great long week end and wonderful Labor Day!   Just finish up school today we are now 2 months into it.

Feeling Blue!

Ever have those days you feel so blue!  I have had those days for awhile. I know alot has happen in the last year to not help it. But, I need to put on my big girl panties and get over it.   Sometimes I wonder how one person can keep going.  It seem to start at a young age when my father passed, then several months later my wonderful sister.  Man I could write a book, maybe I need to write a book and it might help me get through this. I wonder if I ever will be happy again. Yes, I am happy with Daddy wolf we have had some time too, with his two cancer.  Then our baby wolf's they have some scare too.  I wonder is it normal for everyone to have so much bad luck..  I understand people have to go and pass away but why so many in my life so close.  I guess I just need to put my big girl panties on and get through this. Yes, I know alot of it my fault I try to hold it in.  I sometimes don't like to talk about it hoping it will go away but it never does. So, I am going to bed and in the morning I am going to throw those big girl panties on and try to get through this.
 

We meet another homeschool family yesterday!

Wow!  It seems like they keep coming out of the wood works... I remember over ten years ago when I started home schooling the girls it was hard to find anyone that homeschool. Now, you almost have to  not be looking. They are every where.  I think its wonderful.  The little wolf's went and meet there daughters whom are about the same age as my girls. They had a blast talk, talk, talk.   The mother had alot of question for me. This is her first real year.  It was wonderful to share what I knew and to help someone out.  I am just so happy to help and see more and more people homeschool.   Pretty soon I think the tables will change instead of people giving you funny looks and asking you tons of question about homeschool,  they will be looking funny at those who still go to public school and asking them question.  Its just a wonderful feeling to see more and more coming out and not being as afraid and ready to stand up for the homeschooler.  Homeschoolers  Rock!
