Me…on my way home from the dentist. I was worried that the teens at my house may have done some more…

It’s that time of year I enjoy the most…just past fathers day and just before my oldest sons birthday. The longest time span in the year that I have no one to buy for, no one to hold a party for, etc.
Just before my sons birthday is my birthday…and I’m already working on my wish list to give anyone who makes the mistake of asking me what I would like for my special day! 
A few things that come to mind: a new car, a new house (let’s get the really big ones out of the way first), a new laptop, luxury watches, a persian kitten, a cairn terrior puppy….boy, this list could go on forever!
What I really want is a few minutes of peace…a few minutes in which my children wait on me, my husband cooks my dinner and I can sit in the living room and watch whatever I want on TV without someone pointing out that they don’t like whatever it is on the screen!
Can I have that?? Even for only a little while….

We have a large, boring lawn. We need at least a little going on out there…but we only have a well. True, it’s the original well to the house….it was actually used to get water for the occupants…which is kinda cool…but that’s all we have out there! I need something…like outdoor furniture, a fire pit, a koi pond…something. I do also have the original pond to the house out there….but it’s all dried up and it leaks. I can fix that up and add some water plants…that may be nice.
I have a friend who owns some land with a creek…maybe we can go get some creek rock and place it around the pond…that would be nice…
The only problem with all this dreaming of fixing up the yard is…we want to move…we *really* want to move! Maybe I should fix up the yard to make the house look nicer…so we can sell it for more!

I live in an old house that’s always needing work done to it. Right now, we have a toilet that leaks, a faucet that leaks, a drain that clogs easily, painting that needs done, exterior work needing done…etc..etc…Because of this, it’s hard for us to do anything extra that we would like to do.
For instance, I have been wanting to put in a small pond in the back yard for two years now. I would also like to get some of those wood blinds for the first floor. I love the way they look in an old house. Even if I could get them only for the foyer and the living room…that would be great. As I said, there is always something that needs to be done to the house…so the things we really want get put on the back burner for a while. 
Oh well…maybe next month!

We would like to move, but with the housing market the way it is, we probably won’t get our home sold. So…to make life easier here I would like to get more outdoor stuff in my yard….I’ve been looking at a fish pond, patio furniture, a seating area between the house and the pond, and a lot more. I have an old pond area, it’s original to our 1910 house, made from bricks. We actually could see the bricks in the yard and decided to dig around them and found that it was a pond. It’s pretty cool to have. I won’t put any fish in it, just some water plants….I hope to bring in the frogs to help get rid of the insects in the yard.
Any idea how to get rid of bats? We can’t go outside to the far end of our yard near our pole barn at night for fear of being dive bombed! This bat is there every year, and he will dive bomb you if you go in his general vicinity! If anyone reading this can give me any tips on getting him out of here that would be great!
