My Opera is closing 3rd of March

everyday life of a stay at home mom/artist

Yellow Haze

, , , , ,

I am truly excited! It is dark and rainy outside, therefore lowering the temperature! It has been so hot lately that it feels as if the air is going constantly. As the air is running I feel the money slipping out of the window before it is even in our hands! It makes me cringe to think our electricity payment double ALMOST tripled last month. Everyone I called had the same report. irked

"Ours doubled"
"Ours went up"
"My husband has gone insane"

lol

Ok.......So it is not enough that they raise gas prices....but now they stick it to us with electricity as well? I think that 'they' want us to sit at home and burn up. But see, I am rebel. I go outside and burn up. p

There are few days left before school starts around the end of August.....I am so ready for the kids to get back into a routine. My teenager is staying up all night and sleeping during the day and I can't stop it!! scared I even went into her room last night and she was up chatting with friends. FRIENDS at 3 in the morning! That means that THEY are up as well....so that made me feel a little better. Not.

I stayed with her and actually fell asleep in bed beside her. We talked about silly things and laughed really hard making 'retarded' faces at each other. When I started to doze off I remember her calling me boring for falling asleep. right Sorry girlie! I can't do the all night thing!

Just stopped blogging to take the trash bin to the curb....it's still raining in a slow fashion but I hope it keeps at this pace for a while to deeply soak everything. smile I am enjoying my coffee and thinking about working on a knitting project that just needs to be finished off.

Will post pics later of course.

The yellow color in the air was hard to capture...


I was a little disapointed, in this last pic there is no sign of rain....and it has actually stopped now.

Check this out...For those who like Raman Noodles and those who like Knitting............

Take care! heart

finally, someone who gets it! the "man" is making everybody pay through the nose for everything. most people thought it was just about the gas, but no!!! it's about utilties people! lets break it down- 1 they raise gas prices
2 that in turn raises groceries
3 because of bills not as many people go on vacations, or they take shorter ones
4 more people are home during the hottest months of the year, so there more usage of air conditioners-which in turn raises your electricity bills. but wait, we're not done. guess what happens in the winter, thats right people we're hit with heating bills, and with gas and oil prices the way that they are we are sure to see people paying record prices to heat their homes. btw, if u guys never hear from me again then u know that "the man" got to me. peace out!

I'm so glad the weather is to yr liking!! Wish it the same here for me!! p

Oh, teens have a mind of their own... And they are young, their body adapts easier than we, old ppl. Uh, not... lol But it must have been great bonding. Mom and I used to do that too whenever we're away from home, in a hotel, and actually stuck in the same room... lol

Hope u get some piece of mind for when school reopens... But I doubt u'll be peaceful for very long, iMom. The girls will sooner or later find something to do that'll make u freak anyway! lol

KarenNerak Tuesday, July 29, 2008 8:03:19 PM

I'm the opposite when it comes to the back-to-school stuff. I detest it! down I start to get really depressed and sad when the first day of school gets closer. sad I miss my kids way too much during the day.

My son stays up all night and is asleep during the day as well. He's being doing that for years. We tried to fight it at first, but now we just let it happen. :shrug:

Lovely pictures! Is that your front yard?! bigeyes If so, sweet hedges and grass! yes

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Wednesday, July 30, 2008 12:50:13 AM

Siran...thank you! They knew we had extra money...so they are draining us dry of every penny because of the war!!!!

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Wednesday, July 30, 2008 12:52:17 AM

Esther...
I know....it is nice to bond with my daughters on a one on one basis. up I really love getting to know their individual personalities. Well you are right...my girls always find a way to drive me nuts-o. bigsmile And I let them! But I have really been chillin' A LOT lately. I try to shrug all of their teen drama off. rolleyes

right for whom?!

KarenNerak Thursday, July 31, 2008 8:41:45 PM

Not me! Hand it over!

JDjrd2498 Friday, August 1, 2008 1:33:54 AM

Wow that is really big, i wonder why your is so high mine is only around 150-170. :sherlcok:

MarcusFXM256 Friday, August 1, 2008 3:20:14 AM

Gas was cheaper less than 8 years ago. Then these wars started, so now you see how high it is. If we get our troops back home, gas will go back down again. That's friggin' highway robbery what the electric company has done! It's actually cheaper to cool a house than it is to heat it. The electric company executives need some swift kicks to their keisters so they can actually lower the costs to their customers. Those are some nice pictures, Sarah! smile Oooo, I want some wine! bigsmile

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Friday, August 1, 2008 9:24:06 AM

Karen.......EXACTLY what I am sAyin! yeah!

Jose, maybe because your parents pay the bill. p

Mine is high because #1 I have a sucky electric company that wanted me to pay .20 for the first 500 kw, .21 for the next 1000 kw, and .22 for 1500 kw and I use almost 2000 or more a month.

#2. I have 4 girls

#3. I have 4 girls (they like clothes, dryers use lots of electricity.)

I need a clothes line cry

Marcus, It is cheaper to HEAT our house than it is to cool it. See above.

bigsmile

MarcusFXM256 Friday, August 1, 2008 12:03:00 PM

That is weird! My electric bill is higher in the winter than in the summer, so why is your electric bill so high? confused Electricity has gone up a bit, along with everything else these day, but is shouldn't have gone up that much! faint

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Friday, August 1, 2008 12:10:12 PM

I said see above irked

KarenNerak Friday, August 1, 2008 7:39:27 PM

doh

JDjrd2498 Sunday, August 3, 2008 12:28:46 AM

Well actually i have paid the bill last couple of times. See our house sits on unresticted land, so we do not have to pay any home owners association fees or anything like that. So the electricity company allowed us to but our house down as a business, well they actually did it without telling us. What it is that we automatically pay for like 40 upfront, no matter the ussage, and they we get a cheaper price per kilowatt afterwords. So we get it cheaper than the average person, oh and we also shoped around and noticed that the company we have right know was way cheaper. p
