Bleeding Money at the End of the School Year

We are getting hit left and right with the school right now until the end of the school year. We have fees for three children's spring portraits (which did turn out beautiful I must say...we make cute kids), 1-2 field trips for each child (times three kids), the daddy/daughter dance tickets and dresses for two children, t-shirts for Field Day for two children, Square Art orders for one child...what's next? Oh yeah, teacher appreciate week is next week and end of the year gifts for the teachers, bus drivers and anybody else who comes in regular contact with my kids at the school. I'm sure I am forgetting something on here. As long as I don't forget it for the kids, it's all good. That'd be bad if I forgot to pay for something for one of the kids and they were left out. Last month, I spent $36 on cookie dough. Cookie dough!

Shhh, Don't Tell The Boss

You see them in many corporations - departmental heads sitting in leather office chairs. How many of us have sat in the boss's leather chair when he or she was out? Not only sat in it but spun around in it a few times? Now how many of us leaned back in it and put our feet up on the boss's desk? Well, I've not gone that far before but I have certainly sat in the boss's leather chair while they were out. Shhh, don't tell the boss!

They get the nicest leather office chairs. I eventually worked my way up to my own leather chair. Divine!

Equine Dentist in Ohio

My filly had her first equine dentist visit yesterday and she did great! She danced around a little bit but not bad for having a contraption in her mouth holding it open, rasping on her teeth, and a hand in her mouth. Much better than she did with the farrier a year ago when she tried to kick him - about 50 times (seriously!).

If you are in west central Ohio and looking for an equine dentist, comment back and I'll get you the information.

Itch My Scratch & I'll Hollaback Atcha

I've changed my Scratchback to $2 on both my blogs - here and at Stepfamily Sanctuary and changed them both to text widgets (that graphic pic thing was odd). I've decided that when I get a scratch, I'll hollaback atcha in a post on my blog that links to your blog or website in the widget within limits (no adult sites or other inappropriate sites:). That's two for the price of one, lol.
