Home phone & cell phone should both go on the charger before you lay your head on the pillow at night.

Here's an earsy recipe that uses commen sense and precious little of your time. Parmesan Pork Chops~ Heat oven to 450. Dredge chops thru flour, 2 whisked eggs then bread crumbs (mixed w\salt & grated Parmesan). Heat olive oil in large skillet over med heat. Cook until golden, 1-2 min on each side.

And the little rugrats can't seem to grasp the concept that red Kool-Aid does not belong on my carpet. So until I make them understand I had to find a solution to save my sanity and not put me further into the poorhouse. By golly I think I've got it! Hydrogen peroxide. Yep.

It's stayed in the back of my mind because according to publications like Debt-Proof Living and such, it is a huge money saver compared to store brought.

I starting teaching her how to cook a couple of years ago and in the past few months she has been doing it on her own. When I go into the kitchen she jumps up and kicks me out.

Once a week I pour about a cup of baking soda down all the drains in my house. Follow it with vinegar. It will bubble up like crazy (remember making volcanoes as a kid), but it's supposed to do that. It's cheap and a lot less gross than digging the hair out of your tubs drain with your hands. Sometimes I finish it off with boiling water and chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04257260052653346841noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420785.post-21163959795845484852008-02-12T14:41:00.001-05:002008-02-12T14:41:28.987-05:00“The only measure of what you believe is what you do.

But I think it could save me some money each month, so why not. This might be the inspiration I need to give it a go.

She is going to use her crockpot every day for a year. And post pictures too. I love the ideal of my crock pot, but most of the recipes I find are too much work. Who has time to chop, dice and all that jazz in the morning? I've people say do the prep the night before and assemble it in the morning. You mean, cook twice?

I found a crochet needle in a box of "stuff" someone had given us and I've always wanted to crochet and knit and got tired of people not following through when agreeing to teach. I went to the thrift store and brought some yarn to practice with and found the good folks over at Crafty Daisies who have a nifty video tutorial and so far I'm getting it.

I thought I would be smart and teach them to sit and use the potty. One day my sister took the oldest out and not wanting him to sit on a public toilet told him to stand "like a big boy". That's all she wrote. They must now stand which means I am mopping my bathroom floor about once a day. Who has time, right?

The highlight of my year isn't my birthday or Christmas, it's right about November or so when I go to pick out my new planner. Some years I don't even make it to November, I start looking in October.
