Why are there not more hours in the day?

I was just thinking yesterday what I could do with just 2-3 more hours in the day. I mean who really came up with 24 hour days was definitely not a multitasking mom. This question led me to some research...it says that We can actually thank the Egyptians and Babylonians for the hour, minute and second:

Egypt (around 1300 B.C.E.) measured their daylight, twilight, and darkness. They found the ratio of 10 : 2: 12, thus our 24 hours in a day. No one specific person can be credited for this, it's lost for the ages. But we do know it was the Egyptians. They are also responsible for the 365 days in a year!


This past week I started another class, it is online which is nice because I honestly do not think I could stand being in a classroom for another four hours on two nights a week. This week though I am going to revamp my schedule...what does that mean exactly since I will not be omitting anything from the schedule. I am still going to take kids to school on my way to work. I am still going to continue taking the courses I am taking. I am still going to have to cook. I am still going to have to clean. I am still going to spend time with my husband and kids. I am going to add the task of actually sticking to an exercise plan to the "to do" list. I have been slacking in this area.

Some kid's tidbits for the night. The kids were watching this cute little show called "Frank" about a dog and it is rated PG. George and I are strict with them about making sure nothing over PG...but I overheard Lelani (who is just starting to really read good) said why do they keep going into "city hell"...I was listening to see what the response would be...she read it wrong, but it was actually city hall. She is really improving on her reading though. George and Sarah are involved in the book it program to get a pan size pizza and they are reading a lot these days too.

One goal that I have this week is to...post my before picture, before starting my diet officially for the umpteenth time. Then I am going to post an afterwards pic around April 2009 and the reason I am picking that date it is the goal of when I am to graduate-George said he wants to buy me a new dress and I want to get into a smaller size than I am now. I thought this might encourage me again. Number two goal this week is I am going to set up a winter schedule for the kids. Usually I have some chores for the kids to do after getting home from school and since starting school have let it slip. I had a summer schedule that they really kept to good because they saw the list on the fridge then I would put a sticker or smiley face when done. Goal number three is to actually revamp that list of things I need to do each week...I am wanting to add game night to our agenda during the week to get to spend some more quality time with children. I thought I was done, but goal number four is to exercise with the DVD daily...I hate exercise DVD's...I think that maybe if it were a group of us ladies it would not be as hard (like we used to do in GBS parlour), but wish me luck.

Just curious you all bloggers out there...what would YOU do with more hours in the day? God bless and have a wonderful week.

What do you do when you see someone actually taking the TRASH BAGS that you just took to the trash and taking them into their house?

Ok...weird title huh? Well a couple of weeks back I did some major fall cleaning. I try to do on every new season. well...got rid of papers...shredded important ones of course and actually threw away clothes too little for kids. I had planned to give away to Goodwill, but I was in a mood that didnt want to even stop and do that. So, basically organized four of our closets and weeded out clothes and some papers in there. So...hours later a gentleman is sifting through my trash and taking the trash bags into his home with a vengeance. What would you do...well, I got out my camera that has video and recorded it. I was going to post on here, but might later. I did that in case I might need to use later.

My main concern and worry is that over the past year I have been receiving junk mail written to my name Margaret Gidisa for hearing aids...invitations to join AARP (isnt that for older people?) and you here all the time about identity theft. So, I kind of freaked out when I saw that man doing that. I even went and talked to my other neighbor and neighbor said "dont worry about it, he is a good man". Yes, he may be a good man, but what kind of person is going to take an empty trashcan and fill it up with other peoples garbage? Kind of scary if you ask me. Then I am reminded of a quote "one man's garbage is another man's treasure". It still does not bring me any comfort.

63 days till Christmas...

Please excuse the Christmas decor of my blog...I am totally getting into the holiday spirit a little early. I am planning to get some Christmas shopping done this weekend. 63 days till Christmas...and even less than that shopping days.

Hey...been slacking due to life is getting only ALOT busier than before. I am now taking two courses and one of them is online and then the four hour class on Thursday. I was wandering if you all had any ideas on what to name my blog? or any words that start with "G" that might make some since. I just dont think giblets is cutting it. Would love your ideas.
