Update

A. and K. started school last week and both love it so far.  We wanted to get them in before the Christmas break so they would have time to adjust a little before hand.  Also I wanted to get them in their new school's before having to come back to work.  Friday was their last day before having a break.  Now they're with me until Christmas Day.  Yay!!

 

Tillie has really grown.  She's 15 pounds 12 ounces now.  The Dr. said she's the size of a 6 month old!  If she was cute before, she's even cuter now with her smiles and cooing.  I miss her every day at work!!

 

z has been extremely busy with the move and is about to be doing ton's of overtime at work.  (Nice knowing ya babe!)  It sucks, I never get to see him when he's on graves. 

 

I'm back at work at last.  This is the only place that I really have the internet.  My job is going good.  I'm now doing my arraignment stuff rather than my judges clerk stuff.  It's a lot less chaotic.  Friday was kind of hard but I'm back in the swing of things now.  I'm on phones right now so I should be off doing other things but since I can't leave my desk here I am! 

Movin' Right Along

As of Saturday, we are completely moved in!  Well, at least completely moved in to the garage.  This last weekend was getting the last of the condo items out, the weekend before was moving everything out of storage.  We somehow managed to luck out and get most of it done before the snow storm.  We had mice in our storage unit so it's been extra hectic trying to make sure that we get everything cleaned good before things are brought into the house.  We had one stow away that arrived with us in the move.  Unfortunately he traveled all that way to be smooshed on the off ramp of the Uhaul.  (Yuck!) 

 

I got two of our couches cleaned before our steam cleaner broke.  We have a new one arriving any day now so I can get our third couch cleaned up.  The fish tank stuff has been a major blast for z.  At this point we're just trying to not kill as many things as possible.  Why do coral's have to be so expensive? 

 

Millions of loads of laundry have been done.  We haven't even begun to hang pictures and decorations yet.  We do have a Christmas tree up now though!  And the kids also decorated the banister.  Christmas shopping was barely done.  (Yay for all the people who's names we drew since we were worried you may be receiving late gifts!)  We're still hoping that we can pull everything together by Christmas eve, but at least we may have a chance!  =)

Where's my dream book??

Last night I had this terrible dream! z and I were at his parents house hanging out and having fun (only it looked nothing like his parents house really looked). They had a garage and a carpart attached to their house and for some reason z was lighting fireworks in the garage. Then we made sure that all of the flames were out and went to the carport area to hang out. For some reason I was suddenly driving in my car back from somewhere and pulled into the carport where z and at least one other person was but I don't remember who. After I pulled in, there was this overwhelming fire smell and then a red clowd of smoke that was really thick. I gassed the car to get out of the area and jumped out of my car because I was afraid it might explode, only to find that the garage was on fire and it was already really bad. z was trying to get in there because he started it and I was trying to stop him knowing that he would die. Then I woke up scared. The end.

Two Days Left!

We're almost outta here!!! On Friday we will get the keys to the new house!!! =) How nice it will be to have room to move and breathe! The kids will be gone this weekend so once again they will miss the joys of moving everything and be left with the fun of unpacking their rooms only. z and I have big plans to get out of here as soon as possible since we're both done with this place! We are under contract and all set for our buyers to hopefully do their closing next Friday. Hopefully this condo doesn't cause them the headache it caused me within my first six months of living here.

Deep Thoughts

"Fast asleep" vs. "wide awake"...how does that make any sense? I get the concept of wide awake, but how can sleeping be fast? Or is it that you fast when you sleep?? Nah. I doubt it's that.



Quote of the Day -

"Anything that can be fixed can be broken and fixed again."

That was in reference to fixing A.'s diary after I said that maybe it's a shame he fixed it for her since now I can't read it.

One Less Mortgage Please

Yay, I should be getting an offer on my condo sometime today AND there is one other buyer interested so I may be getting two offers! It will be sweet if we don't have two mortgages at the same time!! Hurray!

Isn't ironic that I can't wait to get out of this condo where someone else can't wait to move in??
