Half Way There

    Lord, this week is dragging by so slowly that I think it will be virtually impossible to get to Friday. Everyday this week has been a dreaded "Monday" for me personally. While putting out hay I left the gate open. Massive mistake. UGH! I spent the better part of my morning trying to catch goats. I'm so glad they are food motivated. 
    This week I have locked myself out of my car four times along with not being able to find my keys. My child hid them in her toy box. I forgot my lunch twice and brought my coffee jug without actually putting coffee in it. I killed the copier at work and had to spend my planning period fixing the paper jam twice. Even missing a few meeting this week has drove me insane. I knew they were happening, but I forgot to set a reminder 10 minutes before and I didn't want to show up super late. I lost my planner only to find it outside on top of my car. Thankfully it didn't rain. My automatic stapler decided to have a mind of its own and started shooting out staples. One hitting and stabbing me in the chest. I threw that useless thing away. I have got up each morning consistently at 3:45 AM because my toddler has decided that's her new wake up time now. I'm running on fumes at the moment and I'm trying my best to finish this week. I made the effort to walk on my treadmill only to have my toddler pull the cord out of the outlet. The result was me falling and getting belt rash. She then decided to plug it back in and I was thrown into the wall before I could stand. 
    Yeah, so it's been a week! 



    Positives: I lost one of the new roosters my husband brought home, or did I? That evil thing attacked me and now he is gone. I was able to have 4 semi successful stations in my classroom this week. I started a new book which is in a man's perspective, so that's new and different. Half way to rest is what I'm rooting for now.

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
