He has been doing very well. He whined quite a bit when first put in the crate, but got over it after a while. He slept from about 11 p.m.- 4:15 a.m.

I got up to take him out and then decided to just snooze on the couch with him rather than have his whining wake everyone up.

I think we have settled on Cosmo for a name...Cozzy for short. He seems to like it!

Here are a couple of pics- he is REALLY small!

Little Man

For some reason Grandpa gave Little Man his own hammer and a board with a nail.

Normally I would say good idea....why not?

Apparently grandpa forgot that Little Man throws things when he's angry!

Hope you enjoyed :-)

Wow another week has literally flown by! Between my business, homeschooling , my blogging, Girl Scouts and more...all I can say is:

WOW! Another week has gone by!

So, why not kick back and join us now....

Friday Fragments


Has this ever happened to you?

Last weekend we went to visit a friend. He recently moved back in with his mother to help her out after the stepfather passed away. He is our age, divorced...

Anyway, mom was out of town. We had never been inside the house. There is a combination dining/living room. The house is immaculate. Pictures of family adorn every flat surface.

We're at the table having coffee, and my eyes happened to see a picture- of ME! Or at least I thought it was at first. I almost had a heart attack!

My mom had recently given me an old pic of me from when I was  (much) younger, and skinnier- I had a 'fro and HUGE glasses! This pic was somewhat similar, but not me.

But it made me wonder....you know how when you're a kid and you wonder if you're really adopted and no ones telling you..........

My mind was screaming "NOOOOOOOOO.................."

I mean our friend is ok- for a friend.

He's just not my family-type!

Anyway, guess that was more than a fragment....



Do you ever say this?

I have always said to my kids (as most parents do....) "I can't wait till you have kids! You'll see."

Well, my stepson has a kid- you'all know Little Man....

But does he see? Little Man will ask for apples, plums, oranges, whatever all day long.....at night, guess what I find lying around? Tons of 1/2 eaten fruit!

Guess who is going to stop spending her money on fruit? Not the Little Guys fault, I know. But let the one who keeps shoving food in his mouth buy it....

Then, maybe he'll see!

Hello, what is the date today?

I teach journal writing at a local adult ed center. They were going to run it on Tuesdays, but that is a very busy day for me, so we switched it to Wednesday. I went to go to my first class Wednesday.

It starts NEXT Wednesday. And I checked the paper before I left. I knew the date......don't know why I thought it said this week............

Check out our homeschooling page to see how the Wii has become an educational tool in our household lately. And, you can see my Mii.

Do Yoo have a Mii?

Time to go post on my other blog, make a few calls for the business, then go blog hopping!



Hop on over to Ann's later (she's on pacific time so give her time to post!) and join the party!

Did you go on a field trip this week? Post about it and add your link HERE

You may have noticed by the post below that I am TRYING to Spring Clean............notice I say try! I still need to Spring clean my office space (what there is after moving out of my office!) Still a work in progress....

Ron did a little Spring cleaning himself...he actually had the Black Box taken away by the scrappers. If you don't know about the Black Box, you must not read my blog much!

Just kididng. The Black Box is a vehicle Ron bought that he had on the road a few months, and then somehow it became a woods car- you know, like a lot car, except Ron would drive it in the woods for fun. The kids loved it- the woods are hilly and it's like an obstacle course going around trees. Ron has clipped a few trees to be sure:

Of course the scrapper's were supposed to pick up a van of Ron's that was supposed to be at his old place of business , but his x- boss moved everything to a friend's garage. The friend of the boss told Ron if he tried to move the van, he'll smash it up with a sledge hammer! Cute, huh?

So Ron called the ex-boss and asked him to tell the guy it's ok for Ron to get it. Ron's going to bring the title in case....anywho the Scrapper Dude was getting the Black Box in exchange for picking up the van. I guess now Ron will have to pay him to go out a second time.

Speaking of Ron, he goes to talk with the guy from Rochester on Monday or Tuesday about work. It sounds like a done deal just from phone conversations, but they need to get details ironed out.

It's a gorgeous day out..........I think I'm going to finish up my blogging (did you see my new blog? http://www.athomeonwheels.com/ ? ) and AmeriPlan stuff and do some yard work. The yard needs it.

And....today is Friday! That means Friday Fragments and Virtual Girls Night Out!

Friday Fragments

Infidelity in the farmyard!

Ron took one of the roosters out of the coop and threw him in with the girls (goats). Living with the girls are a chicken that got out one day and we left out, and the ducks.

Recently, we have caught the rooster cheating on his "chick"- he's been trying to get all lovey-dovey with the lady-ducks! Of course, Momma Hen doesn't seem to care- she's like, "Whatever, just leave me alone..."

Guess a little infidelity is ok with her...

Food: What will you eat?

Do you ever watch those shows where the guys go to other countries (even other states!) and eat all kinds of gross stuff? I mean they're eating bugs,and weird animals.......even TESTICALS! Ugh............

Of couse, in other countries, cows are sacred, so our Spaghetti and meatballs may be totally el-gross-o to them!

Me, if I'm going to eat "b_ _ ls", it will be meatballs, thank you!

Speaking of cultural differences...
My son said there's a new girl in school from Washington state. She said she loves it here because we are so relaxed. I guess in her old school, the kids dressed to the 9's, and getting ready in the morning took forever. Here the kids throw on a pair of jeans, a T-shirt and a Hoody sweatshirt. Ok, NY gals, I know you put a LITTLE more effort into it, but....

When I went to college a few years ago, some of the "kids" came to school in their pajamas!Wondering if any of them are looking to work in their pajamas?

Ok, it's time for me to go add my Friday Field Trip to my homeschooling page, and add content to my At Home On Wheels Blog.

Then, it's off to Virtual Girls Night Out!



Hope to see you there :-]
