Fall Break

     Sometimes you just need a break. There is nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to a monotonous life style. Everything is too predictable and tiring. No sleep, but plenty of chores to keep you busy around the clock. Living off of caffeine and routine! Why am I up this early, you ask? Just because I'm not at work doesn't mean there isn't still a routine to stick to. 

    I took the remainder of the week off to really take some time to relax. Ha, that's a total joke in itself. There is not relaxation, but there is always plenty to do around here. My list: 

1. Clean out the Goose house 

2. Jax's cage 

3. Clean out the raised garden beds and prep them for the first frost 

4. Flip the compost 

5. Finish any and all class work 

6. Basic day to day chores 

7. Take Taylor to a local playground to play 

8. Make a Christmas shopping list 


    Fall break is just a cover up, but I do plan to nap everyday when and if my toddler passes out. I'm so looking forward to the thirty plus minutes that I might get to take. Yes, I really am excited and anticipating the possible extra sleep.

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...

Tonies

      I'm not a big spender and this gift was not from me. A family member purchased my daughter a Tonies starter set. It is geared for children over three years old, but Taylor has fell in love with the characters. She opened it Christmas Eve and has played with it on and off ever since. It was an unexpected gift that was WAY out of my price range.  Review:      My personal review is nothing but positive although looking online made me realize how much was spent on my child. It appears that said family member paid over $100 for the set. I'm unsure it is truly worth that price, but it is entertaining.  Taylor is old enough to understand that when the character is placed on top it plays music. She will then dance around it while laughing. She only gets to play with it when we are there to supervise. Tonies has made a creative way for kids to access entertainment without having a screen in their face. As a parent the set up was somewhat confusing, b...
