Just like they said a couple of days ago, the road crew is now laying oil and gravel on our road to do the chip and seal thing. Let me tell ya, the odor is NOT pleasant. Ew!
Rain and I talked with the kids yesterday afternoon about doing their chores for money. Not much, like a dollar or two, depending on the chore, for certain things. We'll also be paying them for working for a certain amount of time in their workbooks, and also a small amount for reading in a book of their choice. When they work in a workbook or read in one of their books, they have to do whichever for at least 30 minutes for it to count. We had be very hesitant to do something like this because we wanted them to do these things simply because it was helping run the family household. Well, after watching them only do certain things when asked many times, we decided to try the capitalistic approach and offer to pay them. They got busy last evening doing as many of the things on the list as they could. LOL. Hopefully when it comes time to pay them, we'll actually have the cash. If not, I suppose we could give them IOUs
Below is the schedule we came up with for now. Hopefully, if you click on it you'll see a larger view. *crossing fingers*
Not much else to say. One of our cats (Spot) doesn't seem to be feeling well. A couple of days ago she started sneezing. Then yesterday she started coughing. And today she's just laying on a dresser sleeping all the time. I've pet her and she is somewhat responsive, but is obviously not feeling well. Please keep her in your thoughts.
