My Great Weekend

Saturday I made my kids and four of our dogs go with me on a two mile walk.  We all had a great time, no one complained.  The dogs loved the walk and I think the kids did too.  As long as the weather cooperates I think I’ll make walking on weekend mornings a fun family habit for all of us.

Sunday we went and picked up my husband’s daughter from boarding school and took her and our three youngest kids over to the coast.  The weather was perfect and the kids had a blast playing in the surf.  My husband suggested we go for a long walk on the beach.  I’m estimating that we all walked about 1.5 miles.  I think my dieting and exercising is getting to my husband, he’s catching the fever and wants to get in on getting healthy.  My husband was happy with me and my body before my diet but he’s getting really excited about the changes he’s already seeing in my figure.  I wish I could post a picture of the kids rolling around in the surf but my husband has the card reader in his breifcase and he’s at work.  This pic will have to do.

My Old Dog

My dog that we rescued back in 1995, isn’t doing so well.  She’s a real mess and I think my husband is going to have to put her down this week sometime.  I feel so bad for her, she’s still so happy to see the kids but she can barely get around and has lost a lot of weight.  I feel as though when she looks at me she’s begging me to put her out of her misery.  I’ve been preparing this kids for her death for years but sadly I think this is really it.  She’s a very large dog and when she was a puppy the vet told me she would die young because she was deformed and has hip dysplasia, well she’s proved that vet wrong and made it to 14!  Three of my kids have had this dog their whole lives and her passing is going to be so hard on all of us.

I Made More Money Online

I had another sale over the weekend.  I earned a whopping $4.47, which brings my ebay affiliate earnings for the last two weeks up to $53.02!  I hope I can keep up this rate of earnings for the month.  I need to work on getting more traffic to my sites.  Can you imagine the money that a person could make with 10 blogs that get descent traffic?  :-D   So far my affiliate earnings are from two sites – 1 BANS site and 1 wordpress blog with the BayRSS plugin. BayRSS offers a free “lite” version of it’s plugin. Go ahead and try it out if you have a wordpress blog, I think you will love the plugin.

Another great plugin for adding ebay listings to your Wordpress blog is phpbay pro.

My Husband’s Job Search

My husband is going to go talk to a guy that’s been trying to hire my husband for the past two years.  I’m hoping this guy offers my husband what he’s wanting because the work would be local and even though he wouldn’t be home for weeks at a time he’d only be about 20 minutes away and we could still go visit him and take him his meals.  I’m hoping he can work as many days as he wants.  Right now he’s planning on trying to get a job where he could make a daily rate and work 3 weeks on and 1 week off.  He’d end up grossing 100K more than what he’s making now.  If he did something like this I could have our debt paid down very fast and if he could keep it up for a few years I could even pay off our house.
