Tuesday's To-Dos

Posted in This and That


           Whew! I made it!  As I sat down to write my first word after putting my cute little graphic up, I started thinking what I had to do today. PUT THE TRASH TO THE ROAD. I could hear the garbage truck coming down the road, so off I ran. So, put the trash to the road, done. LOL

           It's eight thirty and I have already been to the grocery store, yay me. Ran into someone I graduated from high school with  cough28yearscough ago. She looks good, why is that everyone else looks good and not me. LOL. I know, because there is two of me now.  But that's OK because yesterday I started yet another diet. This makes diet number 156, lol.  Oh and why is it when ever you start a diet your always hungry? Each morning I get up and start my daily chores and I'm never hungry, I sometimes forget to eat breakfast and before you know it it's lunch time. But yesterday and this morning, starving before 7, why is that. I'm betting its a trick your mind plays on you.  Well my mind is weak, so I will lose that game.

           Its spring time again and with that come beautiful flowers, the planting of gardens, new baby chicks to raise, grass to mow, a nice breeze, and those horrid little bugs called roaches. We get those large, I mean humungsous ones in our house every spring. I see them at night when I  turn on the light for a midnight snack,  I mean glass of water. And once I see them, ITS ON! I can never go to sleep knowing that one of those hiddious creatures are in my house with the slight chance of them crawling on me in the night. UUUGGGG So I chase them down with anything availabe, a swatter, a shoe, the newspaper. OK  I digress, last year I found a recipe for roach poison and it works great.  So yesterday when I saw a horrid little bugger in my pantry I knew it was time to refresh my poison balls. The recipe is as follows if anyone is interested:

8 oz. of boric acid

1/2 cup of flour

1/8 cup of sugar

1/4 cup of oil (to start)

 Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and stir. You wil have to add more oil to make the mixture  shapeable.  Once the dough is good enough to roll into a ball, roll marble size balls. Place them where your children or pets can't get to them. Once they harden, which will take a long time,change them out for fresh ones. Keep the balls in an open ziplock bag to keep soft.

      I also have some moving of furniture to do in moms rooms today. They are finally delivering her hospital bed this afternoon. Only catch is that we have move the one that she is in out of the way ourselves. They don't move furniture because of insurance reasons. Not sure why, but I'm OK with it, at least I'm getting a new bed for her. This is going to be such a great help. Leaning over to bathe or change her is killing our backs. So thank  you Jesus for this blessing. They have also provided us with a wheelchair, another blessing if she'd like to move around sometimes.  She is eating a little more and seems to be doing as well as can be expected, so that too is a blessing.  I still can't find anyone to come in and sit with her. One company call me back and said that all 100 of their sitters where booked up. I still can't believe that in three towns, there is no one that can come in and  help me out one or two days a week. I have my daughter now, but she is the process of trying to find a full time job now that she is out of school.  Oh well  I have faith that God will provide me with the help I need.

       Well I have other things on my to-do list that need doing, so I'm off  to finish that. Have a blessed day everyone.

This Blog


This is a blog about my everyday life on the "plantation". I live on a working sugar cane plantation called Leighton, in an 70 year old house that needs a lot of TLC. I live here with my husband of 19 years, Brian, our three children, one Mom with Alzheimers, some chickens, a few cats, and one little Chihuahua who thinks this house is hers. I'm a sahm of 18 years now. I homeschool our youngest, who is 15 and we both love it. I am in the homesteading mode now in this season of my life. I think living the simple life is the best way of living life. So come join me as I scribble down the ins and outs of my life on the "Plantation" here in south Louisiana.
