sorry about the boogies on the nose...just look at the eyes.

Efficency failed....

We got our City bill this month and we failed.

They gave a cost analysis of 100 homes around ours and we were not so good.

We got a 2 of five stars.

We weren't efficient and not only that but were above average.

We are spending a lot more per year then those that are efficient and would like to have that money to spend on other things.

I have tried really hard this week to keep lights off when not needing them.

And trying to make my kids aware of leaving things on and seems to be working.

But I think I need more help.

So to those of you that are efficient or even just average what are you secrets?

Not ignoring and no more kissing....

For the couple of you that may have tried to call my house in the past five days...our phone is not working. I have heard of people leaving messages but they are somewhere in space. Sorry we switched carriers and the transition isn't going very smoothly...so I am not ignoring you.

Today Meg came up to me and we had the following conversation.

Meg: you turn your head this way (tilts my head to the side). Then I turn mine this way. (tilts her head the opposite way).

And gives me a kiss.

Me: Where did you learn to do that.

Meg: At preschool

Me: Who taught you to do that

Meg: Me, I just do it and don't kiss nobody.

Me: Do you kiss a boy at school?

Meg: I just kiss one boy, Jake.

Me: You are to little to kiss boys. No more kissing at school.

Meg: My teacher makes me.

Me: No your teacher doesn't make you. You are only three and too young to be kissing boys except daddy, grandpa, uncles and brothers.

Meg: No, I have grown really tall.

I thought I was young when I had my first kiss, but I wasn't 3.

And sorry to Jake's parents. I have tried to tell her no more kissing. I hope she listens.
