Almost there!!!

Okay starting on the 28th I have 6 days off...good for me!! So we are going to do a major re-organization. I think I might have said that in the last post. Well we have started with the living room. I forgot to get before pictures...I will on the next room. There is a huge difference in space. It is still a small room but looks bigger. We replaced one bookcase with a new one that we got on clearance at Target...plus put up 4 more. We got all our movies on one bookcase and the kids movies on another one along with Kenny's diaper/potty training stuff. I hope to soon have those two shelves empty here in the near future. The other bookcases are for our religious books and stuff. One bookcase for family stuff like pictures and so on. We have no idea for the last one but I'm sure we will figure something out soon for that one. We are going to get the garage cleaned up and open a corner so I can craft...again. I won't be able to do this come winter time but hey some time to craft is better than none right?? Ok so the plan is to get in shape to live here for at least another year...if not more. We realize that something was telling us to stay here with losing two houses!! So in a year we will search again. Maybe by then we will be all set and we will be able to find our perfect house.

Blogged out!!

Since we lost the house I really have nothing to look forward to...ok maybe not that bad.

We are doing a major re-organization in my house because we lost the house so that should be fun.

We got a few new toys.

We are getting rid of the little puppy as Kenny calls her...she keeps peeing on the floor...even on nice days.

My classes are almost done for this semester and I'm taking the summer off to enjoy life.

I hope to be on day shift by May 31st, which is when the new schedule starts.

I do really feel depressed...not sure why??? Any thoughts??

The House!!

Ok so we have some colors picked for the outside...burgundy and green. Main color is going to be the burgundy and the trim will be green. It is not that dark of a burgundy but it is still burgundy. The green will be a hunter green color. It isn't called that but thats what it looks like to me. I can't wait. In less than two weeks we will be home owners again...even if we can't move in right away it is still ours. We are thinking of other colors/decor for the inside. Some of the wall paper is in really good shape and we like it so we are going to keep it for now.

I hope that I can post pictures in the very near futher!!!

A few steps closer!!

Well, we met with who we hope will be our contractor. He seems to think he can get things done that need to be done plus a few extras...yeah!!!

I signed the paperwork to have the agreement between the contractor and me.

Before leaving Holly we stopped at the little pizza place. The waitress remembered us, asked which one we decided on....I think I'm going to love that small town life.

Our finance guy has requested the appraisal...once that is done it should go fast.

We have a meeting with the historic commission in Holly next Thursday...I'll keep you posted.

My annoyance!!!

Ok first i never claimed to be a good speller....yes i have spell check but it does not always have the word I'm trying to spell.

Ok so I get this information from an un named source that my dad is ticked that he is lending me money. Everyone here has followed my foot/work issues. So I claimed down to the point that i could vent on facebook. I vent and I get a bunch of inquires from family about my post. As it should be. Well my dad has yet to say anything to me about how he feels other than expressing that Lee needs to get a job.

I can understand why he would be upset...if he is, like i said he has not expressed anything about it to me. In the matter of two days I barrowed a lot of money...the car broke down and needed to be fixed and i needed to pay the bills. I think what mad him the madest is the fact that when we bought the van we got the extra warranty and it did not cover anything...ok it saved him 300 bucks but considering it cost more than that for the warranty it does not seem worth it. So I am planning on talking to my dad in the next few days to find out if he is as upset as the un named source says.

I know most of you don't care about this but I felt I needed to explain my last few posts on facebook and my negativity.

Up date!!

Ok so I can work 8 hours a night. Occupational health actually said I can work 12 but I have to sit for the last four hours...so my boss said just do the 8 and go home. On April 5th I get to go back to 12 hours. This is a good thing as long as I can handle the extra time on my feet. This will keep me in the running for the day position that is open. If I get it Iwill have a normal life. I will have to miss church every other week but I will have a normal life....I know I already said that but it really makes me happy. It does make me sad that I will miss church every other week but for my family and sanity I think it will be worth it.

I added pictures....lots of them of the house to facebook. I added a picture of our new puppy too. She is three years old and we love her. She is a chahuahua (sp). I can never spell that. But I'm sure you know what I mean. It is funny having a 100+ pound dog and a 4 pound dog.

Dad is doing awesome...at least that is what he says. He looks good. He goes in for a check up on Thursday and hopefully get the staples out.

Update and 200th post!!!!

Ok so I have not been updated in a bit so here it is....it might be long!!!

House: The inspector/numbers guy is re vamping the house numbers so we can get more bang for the buck. We should still be on target with our overall budget...which is a good thing. I am so happy. So we are getting this going ASAP.

Dad: Well after a very long day at U of M in Ann Arbor dad came through just fine. He did have some racing heart issues that almost made him not come home on time. But he did make it home today. We had a nice family dinner. He spent almost a week in the hospital for those who have not followed my facebook.

Me: My foot has good days and bad days. The funny thing is, that it doesn't always happen after a work day or therapy. I hurt a lot the other day and all I did was get up. I have this funny work increase in hours deal... I get to add an hour to each work day until I get back to 12 hours. So for example...I work 4 hours this week 3 days a week, next week I work 5 hours 3 days a week...and so on. I will be back to my normal hours by May 10th...I don't know if my household can hold up to those hours. Maybe I could get the hours I use to by working more days.

Lee: He is driving me nuts. He keeps talking about homework and needing time to do it...no biggy right. Well, if he did it instead of watching TV he might get it done. But he has been "pushing" me to do mine.

Kids: Rachele is doing good in school. She was a top seller for their fundraiser...so she gets to go to the Morley Candy Factory...she won one of the 9 "golden tickets". Kenny has been doing good at daycare...both with his actions and his potty training. At home not so much. He will get into playing and not come and tell us he has to go. We have even tried what "Aunt Ca-tie" does. (Her name is Cathy). But even that doesn't work. Anyone with ideas????
