    5:45 is that all? My dd-15 was up at 4:30 and the boys followed shortly thereafter. Dh and I managed to stay in bed until 5:30 - LOL.

    Merry Christmas!

    Great picture!

    We have a "no earlier than 6:30 rule". Why can't they wake up that early on their own for a school morning?

Weekly Winners Sept 7-13

My weekly winners this week are all taken from my Project 365-Boys Play that I have been working on this year. We decided to paint the boys' room this week. Word must have gone out about it because while DH & I were moving the furniture around, these guys showed up: Contractorsaurs.  They had their own equipment so we hired them but soon there problems. They seemed to have issues with the spackle   I'm fairly certain some child labor laws were being broken   That doesn't look like painters' tape to me   Watching paint dry. We're not paying them by the hour are we? 5 days later (3 days longer than planned) the room was finished        For more Weekly Winners please visit Lotus at Sarcastic Mom

The dealership, who told me I needed the milling, quoted me a price that seemed really high to DH who once had rotors milled back in the 20th century. So he’s been sporadically calling around looking for lower prices. It appears the costs of brake repairs have in fact gone up in the past 2 decades. Should we be w...
