I feel like the house should be all packed today.  This week has been crazy at best.  I thought doing it during spring break was a good idea.  Now I'm  thinking I need a spring break once we are moved.  SIGH!  

Saturday at 11 AM, I get a call from the realtor that someone wants to see the house in an hour. AN HOUR!  My house was a mess, but since no one had looked in three weeks. I had to get crack-a-lackin' and stop pack-a-lackin'. (that was for Mark that doesn't read my blog!) So thankful for Jackie that brought the her vacuum (Mine was gone, long story) and did my dishes.  

Sunday Mark calls me about a house that we liked and asked the for the address. 20 minutes later he called and said "I like the neighborhood and I'm waiting for the realtor to go in and look".  He really likes the house and wants to make an offer with early occupancy. Worth a try so we don't have to move twice.  He then gets another call that someone wants to see the house on Wednesday at 10 to 10:30 AM.  He said to my mom"this better not be an April fools joke".  

We make an offer Monday on the house. This delays applying for a rental.  Well, it was a long shot and it didn't work out. We are two days closer to moving with nowhere to go! 

Tuesday Mark leaves work around lunch time to sign a lease agreement with a rental.  Once we knew we didn't get the house. BOO! HISS! Only because that means we have to move twice. The rental is clean, has new paint, new carpet but needs a refrigerator? Anyway, it will work for us and is less expensive compared to apartment rentals and it has a two car garage, FREE storage. The school is okay.  Not anywhere I would want all three of my kids to go, but I might home school Madison until we move again.  That is a whole other blog.  
 
Wednesday I wake up at 2:30 AM and can't sleep so I clean the house some more.  I had set the alarm for 5 AM to clean because I am just tired and can't do it!  At 3 AM when I was still in bed awake I figured just get up and just do it.  So the house was tops for the looky lou's yesterday.  Then we get and other call from the realtor. I was hoping it was an offer, but it was someone wanting to look today.  Last night someone picked up my bedroom furniture and there is only a bed in my room.  Oh well.  I told the realtor that we are moving Saturday and the house is well....they will see we are moving.  

So this week so far has been pack, clean, pack, clean, go to breakfast to keep the house clean, pack, clean, go to lunch (today) and come home and pack.  I am praying no one wants to see the house Friday.  They might just have to wait until Sunday once we are gone.  I just want people to see it ASAP because they might be the ones.  It only takes ONE!  

Mark comes "home" I guess this will always be home? Anyway he comes home tomorrow for not even 48 hours and we are planning on leaving either Saturday if the movers pack the house in the morning or Sunday if they run late.  The next time you hear from me I probably will be in Alabama!  My hubby already hooked us up with DSL, he said I will need Facebook.  True love.  Hey, nothing says I love you like DSL.   So, keep us in your prayers the next few days are going to be long with three kids and a dog on a 12 hour car ride to our new dwelling place.  Look for pictures because I will be snap-a-lackin'.  (All this Mark humor wasted!)

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

Break is over!

Wow! It took me some time to log onto Blogger. I always feel like it is a test when I have to remember a password on an account. I couldn't remember the email or password. That is when you know it has been awhile.  I started a new blog on wordpress. I have been writing but it is all about crafty DIY project and organization. Someone asked me a few weeks ago if I ever use Box of Chocolates and I was sad to say, "No".  So here I am with a renewed outlook on Box of Chocolates.  You never know what you are going to get, but here I am again so at least it will be something. For a year I have been wanting to do National Novel Writing Month. It is the month of November.  The process has already started for me. I have been reading books on writing and doing research on some of the ideas I have for my Novela. Novel sounds so much better to me in Spanish. I think I have written about things in different languages sometimes just sound better. I think it was a post on my ...

True Friends

I am on Facebook daily and love flair.  I had a local friend send me flair that said , " True friendship isn't being inseparable. It's being separated and nothing changes."  I'm hoping that once I leave this area I have many friends that are true friends.  This post is an ode to such a friend.  One friend of mine moved away many years ago and I realized the other night that she is that just that friend.  It doesn't matter if time or many miles separates us she is a true friend.  I realized after a long conversation on the phone with that person (her mostly listening) that I have a gem of a friend and I am so grateful for her.  I just wanted to send out a shout to that person, you know who you are and let you know I think your the best!   Maybe one day God will let us live in the same city.   It is funny as you get um... well.... older you start to have friends all over the country.  I do have many friends all over the place and each of you are special to me.  ...
