Red Neck Bathroom Fan

I cant post any after pictures... yet.. but we are coming along in the master bath.. one more coat of paint on the walls then we get down to tiling..... I did take a picture of this and could not resist sharing it. We already have a new bathroom door.. did new doors on the whole house... so this old one we cut a hole in and bungeed the fan to so we can vent the room really good to the outside with the drywall dust and then paint fumes.

Arrgh teen update

This is an update on the chore list for the teenagers post....well... so far so good.. sort of... number one reason for doing this was so that my house would be clean and I wouldn't have to treat them like little kids and tell them what to do and then be mad when they don't do it. Responsibility for self.. that is where I would like them to go. I had one kid who picked a chore off the list and then... since they didn't know how to do it they just thought about it what it might mean and then marked off on it. Mind you when we set this all up we went over each of the chores and what they were. Second child.. still wants to ask me every day..what they should do. Every person in this house is old enough to figure it out without a list... and with a list they really shouldnt need to be told. Third kid is doing a lot more than they used to.. but it is the kid who didn't need to do more. This list needs a little tweaking as I knew it would...we will have a sit down at dinner tomorrow and we can all talk about it and see what we will change.

My Wish

Heard this song again today and it doesnt matter how many times I hear it.. I cry. I printed out the words and sent them to each of my kids along with a note after hearing it the first time. It nails my wish for my children and those that I love in every word.
