Molly bolts! Thanks, Chewpito! We've had issues hanging shelves in Kota's room and the kitchen so have used them there.

yeah, I think that is what I have, except for the one that fell into the wall, the screw head has to be sort of small for the coat rack holes, so it is a challenge.

Wednesday's Mission Didn't do the DMV today...drove by, took one look, and said screw that. The line was wrapped around the building. Sis needs to go this week too, so I stopped by and asked if she wanted to go tomorrow (her day off) and she said sure. Line will probably be just as long tomorrow but at least we'll have each other to talk to, lol. Got some cleaning done today and babysat baby niece while her daddy went tot he hardware store. Also made a Costco trip for a few things. Then it got fun. Bil called me when he got home from picking up the baby and her big sisters and asked if I had the spare key to the car. Middle niece had locked his in the car. Nope, Darren has it and he was still at work. Luckily he was getting off within minutes and I managed to catch him before he left to tell him to go by and unlock the car. While he was doing that, I ran over to get the kids from school and raced home. Was in the middle of fixing Kota a snack while she was changing into practice clothes. Darren showed up with oldest niece since bil was late picking sis up from work so I quickly made her a snack before we raced off to practice...already late, but the coaches had know Dakota might be late on Tuesdays since she gets out of school late. Then after practice came back home to grab Caleb and get back to the school for the school board meeting. A couple of the kids talked about what drama club meant to them, then they performed about five minutes from their play and we were done there, close to 8pm. Ended up doing drive thru for dinner (there's a place down the street that has awesome salads,) and Darren and Caleb were in bed not long after finishing. Dakota stayed up just long enough to do her homework before she headed off to bed. So, tomorrow, DMV for me and sis, some cleaning around the house for me, and Darren has school. No practice for the girls, but middle niece has her first practice and I told her if I could I'd come and watch (she's very excited.)

Thursday's Mission Went to DMV this morning, line again wrapped around the building. Talked to the security guard and he told us people had been getting there at 6am and lines throughout the day had been 2-3 hours. Uh huh...I came home and paid the registration online. We have to transfer ownership or something (got the car from Darren's mom) so I set up an appointment for Monday morning cuz I have to go in to do that. Did some cleaning and laundry, mostly took it easy, I was dragging all day. Dakota and oldest niece didn't have practice today, but middle niece did and she'd asked if I'd go to watch her. I love t-ball and coach pitch, they're so danged cute, so we ran over to watch her for a while. Hehe, this is why I love that age group...the coach had all the kids line up, then brought one over to hit the ball off the tee. The kids in the line were supposed to catch it or run and get it, but they don't really pay attention to where the ball landed so all 9 of them would run after it, then dog pile on each other and giggle, then get up and whoever finally got the ball would throw it back and they'd start all over. So much fun to watch, I laughed my butt off. Dakota was quite excited, her 4th grade teachers grandson is on the same team so she'll get to see her once in a while at nieces games. Tomorrow...more cleaning around my house and I'll actually do the mission since this weekend is the big grocery trip for me. Not sure what else I'll do.

I swept the floors, read the paper, too out some recyling, started my crockpot for dinner and that's it so far. I need to do a little straightening, I feel like the house is messy, so I just need to put a few things away, LOL. Oh, I need to run the dishwasher.

Friday's Mission I've been feeling that messy feeling lately, Dipo, think it's the kids having so much to do lately, by the time we get home, eat dinner, and do homework it's bedtime and they don't have time to pick up after themselves. Today, picked up around the house, just normal everyday cleaning stuff. Ran by the store for milk, practice, sis and bil were over for a while. Feel like I did more! Tomorrow I'll do a little cleaning and some laundry. Darren's working both Saturday and Sunday so I might do grocery shopping while the kids are in school or may put it off til this weekend, haven't decided yet. I plan to go by Michaels or the bead store, need to make the girls new team zipper pulls for their bat bags.

Hi there! Just got my computer back this evening from new Office Depot computer guys. Tomorrow I will tell about how shockingly stupid WRT my tax episode, perhaps a malware infection bugging the works. Well, last night froze my bunns off trying to set up the new Survivor thread downstairs in my Sis bedrm. I've been watching television (gasp) for the last 2 days, thank heavens I had VCR taped old shows from last Sept, 2009. Jeepers, I would have been so bored!!!

I was wondering where you were Bisc, hadn't seen you around the board. LOL, you're as bad as me with the old shows. With Darren's crazy work hours and school, we rarely watch prime time tv and tivo everything. Right now we're 4 episodes behind on Glee, half a season behind on Heroes, and have most of this season's Big Bang to watch. We've got howling winds here this morning (ok, probably not that bad but close) and both Dakota and I woke up sinus-y, probably Darren as well. Alarm went off this morning and I sat up owwing...sinus headache.

well I took a few minutes this morning to put everything away and it feels so much better! I am on vacation yesterday and today ejhoying the olympics. I shaved my legs, oh my what a job, while doing so I noticed some mold on the shower curtain. I ususally don't have my glasses on when in the tub/shower so hadn't seen it before, LOL. Anyway got out the clorox and scrubbed it down before I took my shower, I have finished loading the dishwasher and it has run got my safeway order put away and started some pinto beans in the crockpot. Once I finish up here in the forum I will run down and get the mail, I am waiting or a 1099 so I can do the investment club taxes, I was hoping to get that done today. It is cloudy and grey here, we are supposed to get rain.

Most days just reading Wars posts make me tired. I often think I can keep up Dipo..... but not today. I put a load of wash in before work, came home to toss it in the dryer and then out to friends b-day party. Came home and made a promise to myself of the minimum I will get done tomorrow. Are promises to yourself Supposed to take so much energy?

LOL, depends on what the promises are! I need to grocery shop today, but I'm sinus-y again (damn weather) and not feeling like going out. There's not a whole lot to eat in the house though and the kids ate cereal for lunch, lol, so guess I have to go at some point today.

LOL, Christy358, Wargod makes me tired too, LOL. So, I have unloaded the dishwasher, watched my tape of last nights Olympics, read the paper, and I got my 1099 yesterday, so now I start working on the IC taxes. I made some pinto's yesterday, so now I am trying to decide if I will make some cornbread and have them for dinner again, or do my Steaks, salad and asparagus.

LOL, you guys are making me feel lazy today! My sinuses are out of control, not infection, just normal nasty wind/crap in the air, sinuses, but they knocked me down today. I laid down for a couple hours, never got to sleep and finally got up and said let's go! I had done Costco shopping earlier, didn't have much to buy for my big grocery shopping trip. After I got up from my not nap, took the kids to the batting cages for about 20 minutes (too cold to stay long) and then went to Walmart for some cleaners and shampoo/cream rinse. That was all I did today. Just felt lousy and didn't have much energy. Tomorrow I'm planning to go to my aunts for a few hours. Darren's working (day #7 in a row so far) and I think I'll see if my bil will take the girls to the park for some practice as long as it's not raining.

Hope your head is better, I know what a drag that is. This weather has been playing havoc with my sinus/allergies, I never know how I will feel - just depends on which pollen is up for the day, LOL. I worked on the IC taxes and it was going well, then I realized I don't have enough paper for printing so I will finish them on Monday when I can get some more paper. Today, I will just watch the Olympics, read the paper and sew. That is my goal for the day, do the sewing!

I went to my aunts this morning, got her in the shower and then cleaned her house. Went to Walmart to pick up a new collar and toys for her dog and some stuff we needed here. Did two loads of laundry (should start a third.) We took the kids out to dinner and that was about it today. It's been a long week for everyone, so we needed some downtime and watched the Olympics too.

Monday's Mission I have an appointment at DMV tomorrow to finish switching the car registration to our name. Hopefully won't take too long since I did schedule the appointment, lol! I'm going to stay home and clean the rest of the day, maybe work on getting dinner done early too (thinking soup sounds good, maybe chicken noodle.) I should also work out menus for the next couple weeks as well. This weeks mission (bedroom) sounds good to me and one I'll follow along throughout the week. Dipo, head was better today, we got quite a bit of rain for a while and I think that helped a lot. It's been really miserable for everyone around here. Even Caleb's been having problems and he usually doesn't with his sinuses/allergies. Dakota and Darren (who are normally bad anyways) have been really miserable.

Glad you are feeling better, you have been very busy as well, hope the DMV doesn't kill your plan today, LOL. I woke up to a 10 inch line of kitty poop across my bathroom tile, LOL, I guess someone couldn't get the poop off of their behind and just slide across the floor to accomplish their goal. I threw some wet paper towels on it and got it off the floor, thank goodness my sister is cleaning today! I managed to get the house in order for cleaning today, it needs it, even though I swept a few times. Took our some more recycling this morning and put away all the remotes and stuff that get in Lisa's way, LOL. Didn't manage to do any sewing as it seemed like I was feeling worse as the day went along. Goals tonite: Unpack the sewing machine and if it has already loaded bobbins, sew up the parts of my rain coat that need it.I saw one forecast that showed rain for the entire week, but right now it is blue skies. Watch the Olympics and cook my dinner I delayed from yesterday.

Are you feeling any better, Dipo? DMV was a snap! I walked in at 11:05 (appt was for 11:20) and right up to the counter. Guy checked my paperwork and gave me a number. I had waited maybe 3 minutes when they called me up. The lady had me fill out a paper, did whatever she did on the computer, charged me $15 and told me we had to have the car smogged. Darren had said we didn't have to have it done since it was done last year, but she said anytime you transfer/sell a car it has to be. She set me up another appt for March 1st, he's got to have the car smogged and then all I have to do is take the certificate back in and it's done. I was walking out of DMV at 11:19. Very nice and easy. Went to the grocery store to pick up a few things for my chicken soup tonight. Eating lunch right now, when I'm done I'm cleaning the kitchen.

Here in California, not sure where else, we have to have a smog, or emissions test, done every other year (unless the car is less than six years old.) It's a pita, lol. You have to take it somewhere certified to do them, they hook the car up and run it, and if you pass you get your certificate. If not, you have to pay to fix whatever is wrong. You can pay for your registration without the smog (so you don't get the late penalties) but won't get your stickers until you go back to the dmv with the certificate saying you passed. When you get your registration renewal in the mail, it tells you if it's the year to have the smog done or not (we did the honda and truck last year and my van either has to have it this year or next, it's an '04.) The other car had the smog last year, but since we transferred it to our names instead of Darren's mom, it has to be done again. My Lincoln, which was a gazillion years old and dropped parts off of it everytime I turned around, used to pass with flying colors, lol. The honda's had a couple years where it passed, but not very well. I really don't know what parts they're checking, I try to pass that chore to Darren as often as possible cuz I hate sitting in the mechanics shop.

oh in Massachussetts we call it an inspection. we have to do it once a year and it does not matter how old the car is. Massachussetts and California have the highests emmissions standards in the whole country. (I actually learned that from my father when he was traveling back and fourth between Mass and Florida and he bought a car down in there they asked him if he was registering up in Mass because if he was they had to order a special part)

I think I knew that about Mass and Ca having the highest standards, it rings a bell. I think it's great really, right up til Darren emails me and says, "Sorry babe, I'm working 12 hour days this week. Unless I can sneak out early one day, you're going to have to take the car in!" Argh, lol. Ah well, guess I can take it in and then take a walk while they do it instead of sitting in the shop.

the only thing about Mass is we do not have to bring anything back to what we call the Registry of Motor vehicles. they slap a sticker on your windshield
