I Feel An Energy Drain Coming On

My children have learned that when someone has a bad attitude, fights, talks back, etc. then the "energy" is drained from the family. The children have a new way of putting that "energy" back: by doing chores. I placed a jar on the counter and filled it with slips of paper with chores written on them. The chores range from sweeping the floor to straightening the books on the bookshelf. When I feel an "energy drain" coming on, the "drainer" must pull a slip and complete that job to give back the "energy." My middle daughter was so excited about it, she volunteered to pull a slip (clean the kiddie pool). No more blackouts here!

Almost Amazing

I found a product that I was ready to endorse to my readers today. My husband and I are so fed up with the condition of our carpet that we would like to replace it. This product came highly recommended to get out the smells and such and possibly give our carpet a second chance. I was eager to try it, but the shipping price stopped me in my tracks. I will wait on the endorsement until I can order the product after payday (see previous post - payday isn't until next month). I guess that gives me something to write about in August.
