I am hoping for some sales to be in tomorrow’s paper for laptops. I have to bring mine in sometime today to get looked at. The power cord is acting up. Not sure if its the cord jack or if its the internal jack. The estimate is free, which I love. We will know whether or not if it will be an easy fix. If its the internal jack, we will more than likely just look for a new laptop. We just bought a new desktop computer, so I may as well get a new laptop to, right??

Trent thinks he will get the old laptop, as he said he would deal with the faulty cord. This will most likely cause a fight with the boys. They can share. But no need to get ahead of myself, I am still holding out that it will be just the cord. Then the hunt will be on for a cheap one.

I would much rather spend the money on a new TV.

Then I can get a new entertainment center, which will be much lighter, for when I want to rearrange the living room. I will have to declutter, and probably get a new bookshelf to store all of our movies and whatnots that are in the cabinets of our old entertainment center.

I am ready for this overly tiredness to go away! All I want to do is nap. I think I have found the best night cream that is helping with my insomnia. I have to take a week off every month from using it, and this month it happened at the worst possible time. It coincided with my cat injury. So with me trying to fight off the infection, which had me tired as well, I had my night sweats and insomnia going too. I didn’t do much crafty things this week, but I am ready to get back into some baking and knitting!

We need to go look at ceiling fans, as I would love to have one for the living room. Not sure if we could put one in, but it would really be nice, for those days that aren’t so hot that you need the air one, but still just a little hot that maybe a fan would do the trick.

It would put my hubby’s handyman experience to the test. Could he get the electric all figured out. I am sure between he and his dad they could do it. So now to just light a fire under him to go shopping. This is the only room in the house (besides the bathroom) that doesn’t have a ceiling fan.

I have been searching for some home remedies for eczema treatments. Mine is flaring up on my eyes, and I don’t want to put a lot of chemicals around my eyes. I found these that I just might try. The Crisco one doesn’t sound too appealing, but the others aren’t to bad.

Apply Crisco 2-3 times a day is said to not only make you greasy, but eczema free.

Make the green tea as normal, but make it strong. Add 3-Tbsp Of Lemon Juice, 1-Tsp ground Rosemary, One Tsp Olive Oil to One Cup of Green Tea. Let this cool. (not cold, just room temp) Bath skin with this. (Recomended 100% Cotton Wash Cloth)

Eczema Treatment using Coconut Oil

Coconut oil may be applied to the portions with eczema. It will help the skin to stay soft.

A serving of watercress every day is said to keep eczema at bay, along with a daily drink of parsley, spinach, celery, and wheat grass.

Make a mixture of starch water after cooking rice mixed with turmeric powder. Apply this mixture to eczema affected areas.

A tablespoon of corn oil is recommended in breakfast and in evening meal to help reduce eczema and other skin disorders.

Fresh apricot leaves juice is useful for treating eczema.

My baby boy is growing up. He is at the age of being able to take driver’s training, but I am reluctant to let him sign up. Not only is it expensive, but he needs to mature just a little bit more. But today I let him “go” just a little bit, but my stomach was in knots until he was safe at home. He had called to see if he could ride home with a friend from school. Scary! When he called he has used this friends phone, so the number threw me for a second. I guess with this “growing up” he is doing, its about time I get him a cell phone. I am leaning towards a pre pay for now. He won’t like it, but that is what will fit into our budget at the moment.

So I am looking to see who has the best sale on one he wants. I am hoping that there will be some great deals in the paper this weekend for Memorial Day. I will have to find more jobs around the house for him to do to “pay” for this phone, and the minutes every month. Too bad I don’t have a garden, he could be my weeder all summer long. I guess my flower beds will have to do.
