Odd Morning

     Something just felt completely off today as I started my long commute to work. I had to pump up two of my tires because the tire pressure had dropped below what was acceptable. My car had less gas in it than what I remember parking it with. My driver seat was also scooted back further than normal. This leads me to believe that one of my family members borrowed my vehicle. I was about 35 minutes into my commute and got a random text message that school was on a two hour delay. We usually get an official call so getting a random text Message seemed odd too. Being 20 minutes or so out from work I continued to go to work.  

    Once I made it to work, I just kept having a reoccurring feeling that someone else had driven my car. Yes, we have a few surveillance cameras at the house so I decided to do a little bit of digging since I had a whole two hour delay to wait for my students to get to school. I was watching the camera and I realized that someone did borrow my car. Apparently, if you have a key, you can just go and borrow someone's car. Or at least this person thinks they can. There will be a long conversation when I get home. It just felt so odd this morning. Even my radio was set to a classic rock station.

    Honestly, I'm so oblivious to so many things I could've possibly drove halfway here and someone could've been in the backseat and I would've never known it. I have got to be more observant. Along with locking my keys inside the house in our safe. And no, I did not leave my keys in the car. But leaving them sitting out on the table inside the house is a no no.

Life with four Children

 so...          Let's begin. I want to start out by saying that life isn't easy with four kids and a full time job! I honestly don't know how people do this successfully. As a foster parent, I'm still learning about all the invisible baggage that my kids brought with them.      There are nights when I don't get sleep, because they are afraid someone is coming to get them. My 16 year old fears the dark, loud nosies, and being left behind. I suggest all foster parents invest in personal flashlights. It seems to help when the they have their own. We have night lights every where, but that doesn't always help.      Develop and create a laundry routine.  I will only wash two loads of laundry each day.  There are around 6-7 people at my house on any given day, and we are NOT washing clothes all the time.  My children each have their own baskets. They are responsible for placing items in their closets.    ...

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...

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.
