Still no word...

August 23rd, 2005 at 06:37 pm

On how the changes at work with affect me - my SVP rescheduled for tomorrow. I don't think I need to be concerned with losing my job, it just I have no idea if my role is changing, and if I have any room for movement...Guess these questions will have to wait until tomorrow.

Spent $48.05 on gas this morning to fill up the SUV. We don't use it but on the weekends and when we have to take our little one some place so I had sticker shock at the pump this morning. I fill up my car once every 2 weeks and it only costs me $25 or so and thats on the high end...Looks like we may curb our driving on the weekends even more if gas prices keep going up!

Last night ran some errands; Home depot for furnace filters - used discounted gift certs and $11.14, Petco for flea/tick prevention to the sum of $38.15. Paid for the all natural stuff, but if anyone knows homemade solutions for fleas, I would love to hear them...We found two fleas in the house over the last couple of weeks. Dogs and cats seem to be free of them (use frontline monthly) so I am unsure how they have gotten into our home... Its only two- maybe Im making a bigger deal than I should...Then I stopped at Michaels to use by 40% coupon and got 3 kids X-mas gifts for $10.57. tonight I have dinner with the girls, Im expecting to spend maybe $10 or so.

    For fleas

    Diatomaceous earth (DE) from the garden supply store, NOT the pool supply store (Jerry Baker is wrong). Sprinkle it around the carpet and then suck it up. It will cut the eggs and keep them from hatching and make the adults bleed to death (works on any hard body insect). It is safe, but you might keep the kids out of the room while doing it as there is some question about how if affects lungs.

    Also, wash the animals regularly. Soap kills fleas and washes any eggs out and down the drain (I'm not sure how that works with frontline though). Also, use cedar mulch in the flower beds around the house. DH used to use orange oil, but stopped when I was pg because the scent made me ill.
