Tackle It Tuesday

My tackle for this week is going to be a two part tackle. This weekend we bought a gently used bunk bed off of Craigslist to replace the girls huge and dated wooden bunk bed. The new bed is made out of some sort of metal and that way Spunky cannot break the slats that hold her mattress!! YAY!! Plus it is a smaller more modern type bed and that makes us all happy. Now we are going to have to repaint the new bed because the paint is peeling. It was originally red and the previous owners painted it silver so it's kinda tacky right now. lol

So for the beginning, I give you me sanding the old paint off the new bed last night.

The boy helping me with my mask, it kept falling off my ears!!

and finally the tiny part of the sanding I actually got done! lol I have decided that sandpaper is a PITA so I borrowed some sanding tools from a friend and I will have the paint off and the bed ready to primer by Thursday!!Check back with my Tackle next week to see the finished project!

Monday Morning Meme

Hi all, another week is just beginning and it is time for yet another weekly installment of the Monday Morning MeMe!! Karen asks the questions(in blue) and my answers follow(in black)!

1. You’ve been invited on a talk show (which talk show?) to explain your job to the hosts.
I think if I had to pick any talk show to be a guest on I would have to pick The Montel Williams Show. Since it is no longer on TV, I will pick Oprah although she kinda freaks me out! lol

What would you say you do on a daily basis? (And yes, stay-at-home mom IS a job!)
Since I am a SAHM on a daily basis I cook, clean, organize, make appoints for multiple types of doctors and therapists, try to stay sane, grocery shop, run errands, take everyone to their appoints, breath, pick kids up after school and activities and whatever else may come my way!

2. What words do you hate?
There really are no words that I dislike or have a pet peeve about. I have much more of an issue with how words are said or the tone of voice that is used. I HATE it when I call the kids to come downstairs and they yell down "What!" that bugs me SO much! lol If I called you I want you to come here!

3. What’s the best advice you’ve ever received.
"Try to find the humor in all things."

I cannot remember who told me this or if I read it somewhere, but it has really helped me when things start to go crazy. I try to think "Ok what about this is funny or ironic" and I try to let myself laugh!

What’s the worst advice you’ve ever received.
"You should get married since you are pregnant, you need the insurance!" said by my dad when I got pregnant with the boy.

4. Bailout shmailout! What this country needs is less jobs outsourced to other countries!

Why does it need this specific thing?
"Outsourcing is bad because it destroys jobs for Americans. People who lose their jobs must now find a new job that they may not be as well qualified for as their old job. These people will also have more financial problems for some time which will slow down their spending on non-necessary things. This will hurt the economy in America as well as lower the quality of life for Americans.

With companies outsourcing they do not need to maintain as many facilities in the US and thus they are not taxed and thus the government does not make get money for the services it supplies. Also companies that outsource do not need to follow the same production requirements as those of companies staying in the US.

Outsourcing is good for some businesses not necessarily the economy or the American people"

International Woman's Day

"International Women’s Day is celebrated around the world each year on March 8th. It is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women. It is also an important occasion to celebrate the achievements and gains made by women and to focus on the job still to do in working towards equality for women around the world.

International Women’s Day provides an opportunity for communities to recognize and celebrate local women’s achievements and the contribution they continue to make to their area"

A little history

"The history of International Women's Day is a history of taking action. The event originated in 1908 when women garment makers in New York demonstrated to demand better working conditions. They worked in appalling conditions, earned half of men's wages, died prematurely from poor health and didn't have the right to vote.

In 1910 an international conference of women resolved that each year a day should be set aside to press for women's demands. Since then International Women's Day (IWD) has been celebrated around the world each year on March 8. From its inception International Women's Day has stood for equality between women and men."

PhotoHunt: Space

This week's theme for PhotoHunt is "Space". I took this picture in late December of 2008, I think it may have been New Years Eve. It was a nice clear night and the moon was an awesome crescent shape. That little bright light under the moon is I think Mars or Jupiter. One of the planets was extra close that night I wish I could remember which one it was......For more photos and this week's PhotoHunt check out: tnchick.com
