Some more quotes from Maggie Thatcher, who died today.

I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near.

Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.

I'm up after a nasty night in bed. The sleep tracker has two settings. The first shows I had 95% quality sleep, the second 54%. The first catches my gross movements (tossing and turning) but the second seems to catch finer motions because it shows me awake between 4:30 and 6 (which I was.) It also shows me awake more than asleep between 1 and 3 which I don't recall (I do recall tossing and turning but I don't recall lying awake unable to fall back asleep.) The issue is heat. I'm too hot with any covers on and not warm enough with no covers on. I tried kicking off my duvet and just covering myself with my dressing gown but that was too much too. This is the second night in a row the sleep has been quite poor so I need to come up with a solution.

Still in my pj's. I've had my tea, made the bed and checked email. But I need to get moving now and at least eat my breakfast.

Yesterday we had to fix the gate and h. put the barrier fence for the chickens up more securely got the mower going and mowed the front lawn so we got the other mail box down and replaced on Sat. so it was a good day for some things that needed to be done out side here.

I dug up another patch of the wrong grass one more large one to go and that will be good to get done! Yea!!! But it's rainy and I need to pay attn. to some inside things here this morning maybe it will clear out later on time will tell.

Good Morning!

This morning is off to a good start. I'm enjoying the challenge of following Tiny Habits....one tiny habits flows into the next. Without much mental effort on my part the first 16 habits are completed while my brain wakes up.

LO successfully delivered to school. His classroom has been turned into a camping site. The tables & chairs have been removed and replaced by a huge camping tent including all the camping supplies. The children excitement level is maxed out......I have utmost respect for the amount of thought and effort LO teacher puts into her job. Much more than a job, it is a act of love and caring.

Too much drama this morning. FB can be used for good and/or bad. IMHO, someone deciding to post in a public event and demanding their opinion is listened to and obeyed (without attempting to solve the issue privately) is tiring. Wondering .....could FB create a special place for people who like to gripe, complain and demand to get together? They could all sit around together and amuse themselves with their untruths and whining. Nahhhh......probably not......but it made me smile thinking about it. So what does that say about me?!?!?!? eeek!

Putting that behind me. Next up on my schedule is weekly focus. My focus for this week is the dining room. Today's effort is cobwebs checks, ceiling fan/light deep cleaning, curtains washed, windows cleaned. BBL

boy I went of my diet for 2 days and all on carbs and junk.

Good morning to each of you. It's been a rough morning (and it's pouring which I know we need) ... dd left papers at home, dropped her homework all over the front seat, made it to school EXACTLY on time as any later she would be tardy, she forgot her meds (thus a bit of a cranky teenager), dh... well dh is kind but stating obvious frustrations (cat (old) peed on our laundry), I couldn't find the cat for his vet appointment, called vet then found him, my pants are tight, and I took myself too seriously this morning and now that I can see that I have to smile and realize I am letting my day get away from me rather than the real events.

today: laundry room monday card is back!!!
animal care card is back.

vet appointment soon.

Still in pjs. BUT I have programmed the new phone system. The days are long gone in this house where one can buy a new phone and plug it in. Especially this one which is 2-line. One of our two lines is touch tone, one is pulse. One has call-answer from the phone company, one doesn't. The new phone has a built in answering machine. So I had to set up each of the lines settings (ringer, volume, pulse/tone dialing) and then set up the answering machine message and the answering settings and make sure that was only for the home line. Then for the business line I entered all the call answer settings so we call and pick up messages quickly.

Then I had to test both systems, calling and leaving messages. The cordless handset is charging and can't be set up until tomorrow morning. It will need programming too even though it is part of this system.

When I went to put away the instruction booklet (which I keep in a small drawer under the phone) I found the missing white mini-lights for the plant in the hall. I bought them last November and lost them so was using a set from the Christmas box. These will go back into the Christmas box.

Now to s2s because choir is in less than 2 hours.
