<p>For those of you who use the Flylady system, you might really enjoy the app as well. It focuses on the same zones that Flylady works with, and they happen to coincide with the same weeks.</p>
<p>It comes with already made Routines such as Morning, Evening and Weekly Tasks. You can change the names and add other routines to fit your needs.</p>
<p>You can rearrange the routines, and what are in each certain routines. And it even has a handy dandy 15 minute timer on almost every page.</p>
<p>Since you have certain things you only do on certain days, (trash on Mondays, Shopping on Thursdays, etc) you have Notes you can make for every Monday so you remember to do that task.</p>
<p>There are a few things that I would probably want to change but they are really small and its just because I&#8217;m trying to be a perfectionist.   <img src='http://www.carsonfam.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>All in all though, it&#8217;s really helped me stay organized and I probably would give it 4 out of 5 stars. You should check it out. Especially if you are living in C.h.a.o.s. like I am! <img src='http://www.carsonfam.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

These bracelets are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute_cord" target="_blank">paracord survival bracelets</a>.</p>
<p>from wikipedia:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Parachute cord (also paracord or 550 cord) is a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of US parachutes during World War II. Once in the field, paratroopers found this cord useful for many other tasks. It is now used as a general purpose utility cord by both military personnel and civilians. <a onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=500,height=375,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false" href="http://www.carsonfam.net/images/donate/alphazulu/breastcancer.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;" src="http://www.carsonfam.net/images/donate/alphazulu/breastcancer.jpg" alt="" width="171" height="198" /></a>This versatile cord was even used by astronauts during STS-82, the second Space Shuttle mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope.</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em>The same properties which soldiers appreciate in paracord are also useful in civilian applications. After World War II parachute cord became available to civilians, first as military surplus and then as a common retail product. While some commercially available paracord is made to specification, even when labeled as such a given product may not correspond exactly to a specific military type and can be of differing construction, quality, color, or strength. Particularly poor quality examples may have significantly fewer strands in the sheath or core, cores constructed of bulk fiber rather than individual yarns, or include materials other than nylon.</em></p>
<p><em>Paracord has also been used by many since the 1970s for whipmaking. The durability &amp; versatility of this material has proved beneficial for performing whip crackers &amp; enthusiasts. Since nylon doesn&#8217;t rot or mildew, it has become known as an all-weather material for whipmaking. Nylon whips have grown in popularity over the last few decades, more so in the last several years</em></p></blockquote>
<p>There are many places on the internet where you can find these bracelets, but I of course, choose to buy from Alpha Zulu. I&#8217;ve found some on the net that cost around $25 but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m willing to pay that much for them. Anyway, AlphaZulu has decided to start picking a charity to donate one weeks profit to. For a week, started Monday, Novemer 9th, they will donate 100% of their profits to the Breast Cancert Research Foundation. For information about sizing and colors check out their  <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Alpha-Zulu-Bracelets/245358355111" target="_blank">facebook page</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mac passed these to me in an email. I&#8217;m glad he accepts this because it is entirely true hehe..</p>
<p>1.)<strong>Fine </strong>: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right<br />
And you need to shut up.</p>
<p>2.)<strong>Five Minutes </strong>: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five<br />
Minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to<br />
Watch the game before helping around the house.</p>
<p>3.)<strong>Nothing </strong>: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and<br />
You should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in<br />
Fine.</p>
<p>4.)<strong>Go Ahead </strong>: This is a dare, not permission. Don&#8217;t Do It!</p>
<p>5.)<strong>Loud Sigh </strong>: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement Often<br />
Misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and<br />
Wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about<br />
Nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)</p>
<p>6.)<strong>That&#8217;s Okay </strong>: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman n can<br />
Make to a man. That&#8217;s okay means she wants to think long and hard before<br />
Deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.</p>
<p>7.)<strong>Thanks </strong>: A woman is thanking you, do not question,or Faint. Just say You&#8217;re welcome.</p>
<p>8.)<strong>Whatever </strong>: Is a women&#8217;s way of saying to hell with YOU!</p>
<p>9.)<strong>Don&#8217;t worry about it, I got it </strong>: Another dangerous statement, meaning.This is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now Doing it herself (again)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well people, I&#8217;m just plain out dumb.</p>
<p>I thought I was smart and started messing with settings in wordpress and somehow locked it up. I worked on it for a few hours  but gave up and just deleted the old blog. What sucks though is that means every single post that I&#8217;ve done here at wordpress since&#8230; April? are now gone. Unless I can find them floating out there somewhere in lala-land somewhere but I highly doubt that.  anyway, welcome to the new place!</p>
<p>Looks that same huh.</p>
<p>Yeah I&#8217;m boring, sue me <img src='http://www.carsonfam.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Shaye &quot;talked&quot; Jeff into getting her some rabbits. We took her to the local 4-H competition in February and she loved the rabbits. Jeff decided that she needed to get into 4-H. 4-H Is K-12 so Shaye still has a year but he thought that she needed them now to get &quot;used to them&quot;. uhuh.. sure.. Now Mom and Jeff have 3 grand champion rabbits at their house. I&#8217;m supposed to take Shaye over there every night so she can feed them but it hasn&#8217;t happened that way. Poor mom is taking care of them.. I&#8217;m working on it, I just sometimes forget <img src='http://www.carsonfam.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  oops</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I loved the way I go to wordpress blogs and everytime I put my cursor over a link, a little snapshot of the website would pop up. You can view pictures or video in the little snapshot without having to leave the site I was on. </p>
<p>So I got the idea to add it to our blog <img src='http://www.carsonfam.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  If you see the a little pink bubble by pictures, videos, or links you can put your cursor over it and you&#8217;ll see what I mean. If anyone else wants to have SnapShots on their blog or website, you can sign up for free at <a href="http://www.snap.com/">http://www.snap.com/</a>. </p>

<p class="flickr-yourcomment">Julie got these pictures from an email. As you can tell, there is alot of damage and as expected gas prices have shot up. Before the explosion we were in between 2.95 and 2.99. This morning when i was dropping Shaye off at school, I noticed gas prices were up to $3.19 and they are supposed to be going higher.</p>

The March of Dimes support Odessa Regional Hospital where Shaye was born and is one of the major reasons she is <a onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=500,height=374,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false" href="http://carsonfamily.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/02/26/210297555_47d201a88f.jpg"><img title="210297555_47d201a88f" height="56" alt="210297555_47d201a88f" src="http://carsonfamily.typepad.com/the_carson_family/images/2008/02/26/210297555_47d201a88f.jpg" width="75" border="0" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 5px 5px 0px" /></a> alive and with us today. Everyday in that hospital I saw all the equipment that wouldn`t have been there if the March of Dimes wasn`t there. And I decided then, if there was anything I can do to help other babies, I would do it. I have a personal goal to raise $500 and a team goal for $1000 and we are currently looking for sponsors. </p>
<p>Contributing to my event online is fast, easy and secure. You can donate directly from my personal webpage with a credit/debit card or PayPal. If you prefer, I can also accept cash or check. Just click the appropriate box on my webpage. </p>
<p>The money we raise helps save premature and sick babies. Premature birth is the #1 cause of newborn<a onclick="window.open(this.href, '_blank', 'width=375,height=500,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false" href="http://carsonfamily.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/02/26/2267129980_c18dd08632.jpg"><img title="2267129980_c18dd08632" height="133" alt="2267129980_c18dd08632" src="http://carsonfamily.typepad.com/the_carson_family/images/2008/02/26/2267129980_c18dd08632.jpg" width="100" border="0" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 5px 5px" /></a>&nbsp; death and the biggest threat to babies’ health today, and through March for Babies, the March of Dimes is funding important research to find out why premature birth happens and what can be done to prevent it. </p>
<p>I’ve joined with millions of compassionate people across the country who support March for Babies each year. Won’t you please help me in this worthy cause? Visit my webpage and sponsor me in the event that saves babies! </p>
<p>With your support, there’s hope. </p>

<p class="flickr-yourcomment">	Shaye has been so excited about today since Sunday. We took Dani and Shaye shopping for their Valentine&#8217;s parties and Shaye picked out this pretty dress all by herself. She picked the shoes and the bow too.. I&#8217;m hoping her hair stays up until after school because I never got a full length picture of her. </p>
<p>Shaye has been sick since Monday and we were kind of scared she wasn&#8217;t going to be well today but yesterday when I got home, there was no more fever.. Just some clear boogerage. She feels fine right now and was so excited to go to school (which is very odd) and actually ran down the hall to her classroom. She of course had to go model her pretty dress for everyone in her class.. She&#8217;s such a ham! </p>
<p>Anyway, I should get to working I hope everyone has a great Valentine&#8217;s Day!</p></p>
