Wow!

Ed and I just went over the bills vs. income and found several things which we weren't even counting related to me working full time. Holy crap, I'm actually making $100 MORE every two weeks by picking up some commits at the telephone center (which I do at home in my pj's LOL). And that's just for starters! I've only scheduled myself for roughly four hours a day on the weekends up to this point but this morning I picked up another hour and a half and made $15. If I do this just twice a week I will make $150 each paycheck more than when I was full time at Wal-Mart. Good gravy, and to think what I've been through the past year for that company and sacrificed. It almost makes me want to cry. Cry all the way to the bank that is! :)

I spent the past couple of days working on the library which has now become my soapmaking supply room. Everything is organized, inventoried, and ready for action. I also created my list of things I need to order to begin soaping and I gotta say.... I'm so ready! I haven't made a batch in sooooo long it will be so much fun. As soon as I get several batches cured I'll be able to list them on the site for sale. I also need to go through some things around here to get onto eBay - although I haven't done that in so longer either that I think I've probably forgotten how, especially when I hear people talk about the continual changes over there.

All in all, I think I'm adjusting nicely to being home again. I still haven't organized the freezer and it's driving me crazy so I'll probably get to it in the next week or so. I went into Wichita yesterday, first time since I left the Wichita store I was in. I forgot Jenn's number because I had some extra time and thought about stopping by, but I didn't want to show up unannounced. Although, knowing Jenn, unless she was involved in something she probably wouldn't have minded. :) I plan to go in every two weeks so I'll remember to set that up for next time.

I also realized this morning that I hadn't enrolled the boys in school. Yes, I know, kind of an important thing eh? I drove by the high school and wondered why all the parents were going in and then it suddenly hit me.... DUH! It's enrollment day! Oh well, got that done.

Today is going to be 103' and it already feels it! OMG you could lose children in the cracks in the ground around here. Luckily we have no neighbors to impress and no fescue growing because I wouldn't want to use water right now, even our well water. Save every bit of electricity for running the a/c! I put a sticky chicken in the crockpot and have a mess of beans cooking along side it for everyone to eat while I'm at work this evening.

Enough playing, I've got a freezer calling me!

Oh, no, I wouldn't have minded! But it's probably good you didn't stop, Dayne had just gotten over being sick and I think that morning we were all four taking a nap from being up all night and stuff. Feel free to come over any time. :)

You said soapmaking...I read it in black and white.
