sunday randomness

1. so we've been sleeping in our house for a few days now and i have to pinch myself that its real. {it would be better if the packing was done}

2. its still not technically our house yet. tomorrow we close on arlene ave. at 9:00am and tuesday we close on phaeton though we don't know what time yet.

3. while packing last week, i denied myself the luxury of doing laundry so now i'm catching up. i have never been so happy to do laundry till this day and i love the fact that my laundry room is on the main level. who knew laundry took up so much space?

4. short shout out of thanks for everyone who has been encouraging, supportive and helped in one way or another with our move.

5. my dad was the most proudest and sincerest in my family with the house. he said that he was really proud of us and all the hard work we did in order to achieve it.

6. kaylee was a bad girl last night. she wouldn't share [normal] nor would she apologize [stubborn]

7. still cant believe we live in this house. it feels amazing and i hope the owner at our old house feels the same.

8. i'm getting rid of more junk. where did it all come from? and where did i have it at in the old house?

9. i'm exhausted and took the day off.

10. today i experienced one of the saddest things. its not like i have never given money to a homeless person before but this time it was different. went to target and on our way home, there was a women on the corner of the street with a sign. it was heartbreaking. we turned around and gave her all the money we had on us. 20 bucks + 5 bucks worth of change. she was wearing sweats and its freezing outside. as i handed her the money, i saw her pain and her tears. i had tears and couldn't find anything to say. i have so much and yet gave so little. life is not fair.

update

house drama update:

the radon guy is here drilling holes into the "livable" space. he made a funny comment saying that the pipe has to go here in the living room. he thinks its silly too but hey, its what the buyer wants done. after a day of talking like a trucker and a sleepness night, i have to remember that i believe in karma. she's being one of those buyers who takes full advantage of the seller because she knows we want out and will do anything. she wouldn't let us have half a day friday and has inconvenienced us on moving into phaeton place. one day she will get hers. as of right now, its looking like we could close on arlene on saturday and phaeton on tuesday. (she's a school teacher and they have friday and monday off)

for some good news, we are waiting to hear back from the sellers agreeing to let us move in today. we already have the insurance to take cover today and for electric + gas to start in our name. until we hear back, all we can do is stuff everything into the garage. i hope to hear back soon- we have furniture delivery today. (see the inconveniences she has caused? and we rented a moving truck too today)

random wednesday

randomness because i'm taking a break:

1. more house drama- the radon test came back .3 higher than should be so we might have to fork over another $850 to solve that problem + the appraiser came back yesterday. i forgot to fix + paint the chipped paint on the windows so had to do that today. FHA lenders can suck my kiss! (who sings it?)

2. i feel like kicking someones ass. see #1. instead i've been drinking since noonish.

3. kaylee has been asking me to feed her breakfast, lunch and dinner. whats up with that?

4. ham told me he found a new pair of shoes he wants called 'supra' (?) so i asked "what are they 'supra' expensive?" get it hahaha ok. he didn't find that funny either. only $110.00! i told him i would pay the $10 + shipping + tax, he pays the rest. he didn't find that funny either.

5. i love it when i hear my kids talking back and forth though its usually kaylee talking and ham saying uh huh, ok or nope.

6. i almost got into an accident with my neighbors yard. guess that's what happens when i feel like i can peel out on a slick road at a stop sign. danica patrick, i am not. *oops this happened monday morning. and just so we 're clear i never drink and drive! i was packing +drinking ;O)
7. we have to be out by midnight tomorrow night.

8. going to miss this house a little. the hardwood floors, the arched hallways + especially the memories of when it was just me + ham. our surprise wedding in the front yard, bringing kaylee home for the first time......

9. sunday was reminded of why we wanted to move. the laundry sink got clogged again.

10. cant wait to be done and moved in!!!

happy birthday!

happy birthday to my great friend wendy from college! hope your day is as special as you.

question

pam from pure + simple shared some quotes which got me thinking what is my all time favorite quote. then i remembered asking my mom, years ago, what would she do if she knew she could not fail? and her response surprised me. she said she would love to do a play. what luck- that same week there were auditions being held at our local theatre. she didn't go. guess she was afraid of failing. so that's my question to all of you-

what would you do if you knew you could not fail? - robert h. schuller

i'm not sure what mine would be, need to give it some more thought. right now though i would love to be living my life to the fullest and i feel like i'm failing life. i have this one life to live and this is all i'm doing with it??

calendar

i know i'm behind on calendars. going to order this once we get into the new house for the craft room.

i SO want to make one

To make this arrangement you will need two different size glass vases, the inner one should be small enough to fit in the outer one with room to drop in the hearts. The inner vase is where the flowers will sit in water. You could also do this with red hots or jelly beans. via true and wesson
