Note to self.

 

Don’t ever steam clean champagne carpet with Orange Glo and Bleach Mixture.

 

It doesn’t work on the green marker stains anyway, it didn’t significantly fade the red kool aid, stains, the crayon is still there, the dog pee just turned orange and now you need new carpet in the ½ pint’s room.

 

There.  Done with that. Sorry, us old people got to write regular type notes to keep abreast of things.

 

Doing little happy dance cuz I am……ta  ;  da     ; watching the news!!

 

No. I didn’t come up with the $60 buckaroo’s for the new remote…but…I did figure out how to make the tv work without it.   ****grin***

 

So for those of you who also had your dog eat your remote and have satellite tv…..

 

If you have a dual receiver…go in to the receiver and turn it on.  Hit the mode button twice so that both tvs are on.

 

Then grab the remote that DOES work, and turn the TV that works to the channel you want to watch.  Then hit the Record button and a little thingy pops up saying

 

Drum roll please……

 

What TV do you want to record to????

 

And, I just tell it to record it to TV 2 and presto, run in to the kitchen and turn that sucker on.

 

Only took me what?  Two weeks to figure it out.

 

Yeah. Well. ,

 

Cleaned like a maniac yesterday.  Cleaning is for women, both drudgery and therapy.  It is very cathartic to clean.

 

My theory is this.  When your life is going to shit, clean your house.  It won’t change your life, but it will give you SOMETHING to both control and have a positive impact upon, and further, you get a clean house.,  Three wins, no losses. And heck, ya can’t ask for better than that on a Monday morning.

 

Tuesday however.  Yeah. Okay.  The house is clean.  Good then.  Coffees Hot.  Wonderful.  Laundry is still not caught up.   OH!!  No. NO.  Do NOT go there. Extremely shying away from those thoughts. BAD thoughts.

 

So, yeah, the laundry is kind of backed up.  But, we all still have clean underwear and clothes. Besides, there is not enough laundry soap to do it all, and I worked so hard yesterday….and

 

Next  subject please.

 

So, Nursey is delivering one of the kittens today for me.  

 

Only, I have to drive into town to take it to her.  Then I have to turn around and drive home. Then a few hours later, I have to drive into town to pick up ¾ Pint at school cause today Nursey works….and then a few hours later DH has to turn around and drive back into town to take her home and put her to bed…

 

30 miles each way.  60 miles round trip.  4 round trips.  240 miles.  15 gallon tank.  $45. to fill it.  20 miles to the gallon.

 

I am looking at a full tank of gas, gone just running into town.

 

Isn’t it funny.  We have to plan out stuff like that now. We are country people.  We every single time, stop at the drive thru and buy a gallon of milk. Don’t even ask anymore.

 

There is a rule I have trouble with.  Never having less than a ¼ tank of gas.  I have trouble because, well, I don’t always have the  $$ to put gas in when it gets low.  I have actually been well into the red when I pull into the driveway.

 

My theory is, there is gas in the tractor if I need it.

 

This really pisses DH off.  Eh. You’ll get that you know.

 

Have a great Tuesday everyone.
