Soap Box

I have so many random things going on. I need to vent, soap box, just write it down. Enjoy!

UPS delivered a great check today. Profit from our house sale. Wish they delivered these kind of checks everyday.

AT&T sent a rebate in the form of a debt card. Have you ever used one? I now know to spend the whole amount at once but GESH, how cheesy!

Allstate was cheap! Sorry USAA moving car over too to save almost $600 a year. Same coverage lots of savings. AND the savings because we no longer live in Florida is amazing. Auto is half as much a year and home owners is less than $800 for the year. I couldn't believe it that is over $1000 less than Florida and we had cheap insurance in Fl. Our homeowners went up to over $3000 one year with Citizens. No wonder there are so many foreclosed houses in Florida. Insurance went up from $700 to the highest at over $3000 in a ten year period. NUTS!

The federal law that will not let you get information unless your name on the bill is a pain! Note to self get everything in both names.

Mail lady gave Madison a lollipop one day, now all three want to wait for the mail lady to get a lollipop. CUTE! Only took once for all three kids to go meet her at the curb. The mail lady loves it! But all I got was mail?

Closing on the new house Monday, June 29th! UM that is only a week!

Free chocolate is cool. www.realchocolate.com every Friday!

Deep sinks, french doors on refrigerators, counter tops ~dare I say two different kinds! So trendy! Dishwasher that holds 17 place settings (wish I could afford that one).

Pool!

Pink, purple and NAVY? I have lots of painting to do.

Mermaids, pink poodles and space ships.

Oh and there is the grand piano AGAIN! Darn thing is always creeping up into the picture.

Really need to find a family doctor before someone gets sick. We are on waiting lists.

Finally found a church. Summit Crossing Community Church or SC3. Kinda like CC, but never will be able to replace CC.

Mom visiting in July, moving in July, Scrapbooking in July! Visiting family in JULY! TURNING ANOTHER YEAR OLDER IN JULY! July is looking busy!

I need to wash this grey out of my hair. Where did it all come from?

Nathan has officially stepped into the terrible threes. I will take two over three any day! Three to four is the worst! So far..... I'm sure they will have moments later in life too. Maybe that explains the grey!

I no longer own a Florida home. Bitter Sweet. Loving the savings in Alabama, but Florida will always be home. It really is expensive to live in Florida. Didn't realize that until we moved.

Come back often for house updates and such!

Hey girl,

We're home safe and sound.

I don't envy all those details of selling and buying. What will you do with all of your extra time when this is done next week?

I've got a package for the kids. I'll send it once I get all this laundry clean and put away.

Talk to you soon.

"Normal"

Psalms 62:8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge . This past year has been something else to say the least. From October to October, okay not quite a year but WOWSER! Didn't see that freight train coming. I have to reflect. I have been reading my blog entries going back to October of last year. Part of me can believe it has been a year since all this started and part of me feel like it was forever ago. Daily I have to turn my cares over to the Lord, carry my cross and trust with a faith that can move mountains. Recap~ October 2008 ~ The company Mark is contracting for is a pool company and is really feeling the effects of the economy and crisis and has to cut back. Mark was not the first to go but his time is up the first week of October. November 2008 ~ hint of a job in Raleigh NC. The person hiring has to wait until January to see if they get a contract or not. Very surprised at the lack of jobs in the Tampa area...

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...

NaNoWriMo & Peeps

peeps pēps/ noun  informal people (often used to refer to a person's friends or associates). "thanks for the feedback, peeps!" If you choose to do NaNoWriMo you have got to explain to the ones you love and cherish what you are doing in November. The more warnings the better. I told my husband a year before I started NaNoWriMo that I wanted to   do a month writing challange and explained the details. I didn’t talk about it all year but once October came around I started to talk more about NaNoWriMo. I talked about it so much my second year that my kids wanted to do NaNoWriMo too.   It was fun to do some writing prep with my kids.   My oldest has already set a goal for this year.  If you have kids you should check out the  Young Writers Program .  They can set word goals. I like encouraging my kids to write with me. It might even help me justify writing on Saturday and Sunday when I have a kid or two a...
