WHATS HAPPENING SUNDAY

Saturday sure was pretty huh? Now they are saying Sunday will be about 30 or so. This weather is sure crazy.

      I didn’t do a lot today just enjoyed the weather. Worked out in the green house some getting things ready to start planting seeds soon. Got all my seeds out that I know I am going to start seedlings with. A lot of seeds I have I will just straight sow into the ground like marigold and zinnias. They do just as well like that I think as they do in trying to transplant them.

Sprayed my starfish , I got in St Thomas , with clear poly. They have to be protected from the steam in the bathroom where I want to put them. Otherwize they will start decaying.

The conch shells wont but the starfish will.

Tomorrow is cleaning day. My bathroom cabinets are stuffed full and I have got to find something to do with all that stuff. Time to declutter again.

Well the grandson is going  back home to Houston . Wish he would want to stay but he is too spoiled by his other grandparents . I hope he can eventually break free of all of that and realize that he needs to make a life of his own, They have over indulged him all of his life. Even bought him 2 cars so far which he has wrecked both of them and laughs about that. Said when he gets his lic back grandpa told him they would go buy him another one. To me that sort of indulgence is a form of child abuse, of course they don’t think so , they really do love him but the damage that it does to a child is really apparent to other. They grow up thinking that the world owes them what ever they want they should have. And as we all know that isnt the way life is.so why raise a child to think that way for them to be hit in the face with reality later on. Then you get a man that comes back home and lays around on the couch watching tv. And not working because he cant find a job that will pay him 20.00 an hour to do nothing. Well need to get off my soap box. Lol

 

 

TRACI: well did the cleaning go well? I know your house shines like a new penny now for sure.

 

 

Well so nice to see Blondie on here again. Way to go sweetie.

 

Im sitting her falling to sleep so even tho this is really short, I am going to post it and get to my bed.  Remember I love all of you and GOD BLESS

 

 

Morning everyone What is up with this weather?!  Yesterday we had sun, nice temps, now this morning it's 16 degrees, windchill of 6 and sleet and snow coming tomorrow.  Crazy I tell ya!!  Pick a season - any season and stick with it for a bit.  Jan:  Well, my house would be all shiny clean, if I didn't have all these people and critters living here!  We live in it - so it gets messed up.  So I just view it as job security for me.  ......and a hearty amen from me on folks over indulging children these days.  I'm a parenting instructor/coach/mentor and let me just say, I believe one contributing factor to the downfall of our society is selfish, over-indulged, spoiled children who think the world owes them everything on a silver platter without them having to lift a finger to earn any of it - just because they've been born.  I think, in part, this is stemming from this whole movement to "build children's self-esteem" above all else.  They promote them in school, when they don't earn it.  They praise them, when they don't earn it.  They give them "things", that they didn't earn (and certainly don't need) - all thinking they are building self-esteem; when in reality they are building egos.  It puffs them up, it doesn't build them up.  I'm all for praising our children, and letting them know they are loved (and we should always love our children unconditionally - regardless of their behavior, but sometimes, if their behavior warrants, that might have to include some tough love!); but we need to stop loading it on and piling it on thinking it's helping.  It's not.  I believe in many cases it's misplaced guilt on the part of the parents; or praise as a bribe tactic.  Whatever the reason; it may work somewhat well to control behavior in a toddler or preschooler; but be warned, it doesn't work so well in older children and it will not only get expensive for you - but unless your goal is to produce a self-centered, egotistical, selfish human being that will forever be mooching off of you:  stop now! Okay.  Off my soapbox.  Have a great day everyone!! Today I have church and my Sunday school class to teach.  Then we have our church Valentine's dinner right after service.  So a busy day!!

Jan,    Just wanted to say hello and let you know I looked at your pics.  You look terrific.  Glad you had such a good time.  Colette
