APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS

My garden is starting to come in. It's such ashame that I'll be leaving it all behind, (all the hard work) to start all over again. I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to gardening. I just start planting things and pray for the best. It look like everything is happy where I have placed them. The Purple flowers are from my Mother-in-Laws garden. She sent me part of her bulb last year and I planted it and that is what I got. Yeah. Spring has sprung my kiddies and it's only the beginning, now only if my grass would get happy everything will be perfect.

MORE CRAZES

Hello all,

I signed the contract for the sale of our house yesterday. After a week of talking back and forth about what each party wants and making sure their pre-approval letter was ligament and all the other things involved. We finally have a contract on the house. We are looking to close 26 May 06. Which is good because my hubby has a 4 day weekend that weekend, and since we have enough Frequent Flyer Miles, he is going to fly back to close on the sale of our house. I'm going this Sunday to look at houses in PA. We found we liked last time we went up there however it won't be ready in time the estimated date is 30 June 06, and seeing as we are closing on the house at the end of May and right now are trying to do a rent back until June 9th. I went to transportation yesterday. Let me tell their ass backwards way of doing things. First of all I live about 70 miles from post just to afford to live off post. I called and asked how things work here because you know everywhere is different. They told me to come in 0830-1600. Ok I leave the house around 0830 and get there just before 1000 I signed in since there was noon else in there he took me right away. He asked for a copy of my orders had me fill out a piece of paper and then took a copy on the POA and 4 more copies of my orders. Ok that took really like 5 mins. He then looked at the dates I needed to be packed and said ok we need you to come back May 10th @ 1000 for your briefing and that was it. Needless to say I was not very happy. Couldn't they have had me fax all that info to them? What I really don't understand is why my husband didn't do that part while he was up there finding out what I needed to do to get things done. So I hope they can get the pack dates I need which is pack the 5-6 June and pick up 7 June. Which means we will be living with nothing for a few days and hopefully I'll be able to find a place and getting a closing date June 9th and have a roof over our head by that weekend. My hubby will be back sometime around the end of June. I don't even know if I'm allowed to move up there before my husband at the this point but hey I don't have an option. Oh BTW my husband messed his knee up while at school and has to see a specialist on Sat to see if he can take a PT test on Monday, however I know what will happen they'll ask him what he wants to happen and he'll tell them I think it will be fine and the Dr. will say ok we can do that he'll take the PT test and mess it up even more and then be screwed and lucky if he can even get drive back home at the end of the course. Heaven for bid he take care of himself the right way and not be able to finish the course out. It's not like you can't go back once your better. They think it's a legament that it pulled to it's max right now, I say it's your body's way of saying hold on fucker push me anymore and I'm going to get pissed of and fuck your world up. That's all I'm saying.


Until next time

LET THE GAS WARS BEGIN

Ok a few gas stations around here have run out of gas. Everybody acts like they better get their gas before they raise the prices again. There was line all day at Sheetz, normally the cheapest gas station around. Well I have gas in my tank about 300 miles until empty. It's bad I don't use the gas gauge in my car I use the how many miles to empty gauge. Silly me. I don't plan on going anywhere anyways so I'm not complaining, however I will be complaining when I have to fill up the beast. So here is the Question of the day. How much is gas prices in your area. Leave the answer in the comments. Oh and tell us where your from.

We might have an offer on the house today. That's crazy. I'm freaking out this means I'm really moving. They came and looked at the house yesterday. It was a last minute one also. I was sitting in the my office and I see a car pull in front of my house and then I got a phone call asking if they could come in and look. The funny thing is it's by appt. Only because I have to put dogs away and tidy up and stuff. I told them to give me 15 mins to get the dogs and kids settled. So here my brother and I shoving stuff under beds and couches and Alex is throwing all her toys in her toy box and trying to make her bed. I guess it just might pay off. We'll see. Right now I'm really scared because that means I need to get off my butt and look for a new place to buy. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLAH BLAH BLAH

Nothing new here. Right now I'm wanting to update my Blog with a new skin something cool, and since I'm not very good at the whole thing I'm stuck with what Blogger offers. I'm also looking into paying for a new skin. Just don't know what I want yet. We are still getting the house ready to sell even though I think it's good to go but, people are getting nervous and want it perfect you could say before making it available. It's crazy the market around here is so touchy feely. I have faith that everything will fall into place. However other people don't like to rely on it. Oh well we'll keep on moving forward. Last Monday I woke and felt like I was dying I didn't even have the strength to get out of bed. I got up and got Alex ready for school went down stairs to get her snack ready and make sure her book bag was ready and then asked my husband to make sure she got on the bus for me. As he came up stairs to finish getting ready to work I told him there was no way I was going to be able to take care of the other two kids that day. Thank God he nothing pressing @ work he was able to call in and tell them what was going on. I literally laid in bed all day I would wake up for about 10 mins at a time and then go back to sleep finally my husband came in a said I really needed to eat something and dinner was made. So I made my way down stairs I hadn't even seen the kids all day. Ate dinner and went right back up to bed. I felt a little better the next day, however Alex didn't so she stayed home Tues and Weds. She went to school thurs woke up with a fever fri. So she stayed home. Sat evening she had a fever and felt a little better Sunday so went to school today I just hope she'll make it through the day. The school is getting a little mad because she has missed so many days. It's kindergarten for crying out load. She has been getting sick because she picks it up at school what do they want me to do. Oh well they'll get over it. Well that all I have for today. Time to getting something done around here. We slacked off this weekend because of the nice weather. We had the first official BBQ of the season Friday night, and then carried it on into the weekend. Today is another nice day so hopefully I'll b e able to get this yard looking nice again.

THE JOYS OF BEING PARENTS OF A SCHOOL AGED CHILD

Ok here we go,

About a week or so ago we got a letter from the school stating that there was lice found in Alex's classroom. Great so I wash all of Alex's hats and coats that she wears to school. Then Alex was sick last week with a nasty stomach virus going around she missed 3 days a school because of that, which in turn spread to the rest of the family. I've been checking her head for lice everyday when she comes home from school, because I'm a paranoid person like that, knowing that lice really is harmless, but still it's a pain in the ass to deal with. So last night Alex is digging away at her head saying it itches really bad. So I'm like oh you just have dry scalp you couldn't have lice I've been checking you and you missed just about all of school last week, so I go check her again, I low and behold she had lice, not the eggs but the bugs, so she had to have gotten yesterday while at school. So it's 8 at night and I'm off to Walmart to buy the stuff you have to use, I get home Alex had feel asleep on the couch so we wake her up put the stuff on her head let it sit for 10 mins and run up stairs change her bedding, grab her coat and hats again throw them in the wash, run back down stairs rinse her head and commence to combing through her hair with the smallest come know to man. My husband is such a great man he stayed there and combed through that childs hair for about 45 mins getting everything out. Thank god I just had her hair cut short before all this happened because I can't imagine combing through the long hair she uses to have.

2 week and counting

Ok we have 2 weeks to get this house ready to show and then project sell my house begins. It's so scary the thought of random people coming through and looking at my house while I'm still living here. Sorry such a short post however there is paint calling my name JOY
