Cut Off

Well AT&T had no problems cutting off the phone service to our rental on Saturday at 10 AM sharp, but took their time getting us hooked back up with phone and internet at the new house. So much has happened since I posted last where to start?

I am another year older! I am officially 30 something. Not 30, just 30 something. We went to Build-A-Bear for my birthday. Funny thing is I had a blast even though it was for the kids. It was for the kids right? That whole process with three kids all at once was well CRAZY fun and we didn't come home with one bear. We came home with a bunny, horse and dog?


I also have to say my husband is a hoot. I told him not to get me anything for my birthday. He did just buy me the house of my dreams. Anyway, he bought me a Jack Johnson CD and put it on my seat in the van with a note that said " so you can't say you didn't get jack for your birthday." JJ and a funny note, love him! So simple, but a perfect gift and a laugh too.

Moving Day! Never underestimate the power of the WOMAN! I just want to say that I am stronger than I think. Although it did hurt to walk the next day or two. Mark did a lot on his own, but we with Nana moved our house in two days. Minus the BABY grand piano.

First night in the new house.

Nathan loved the ramp on the truck and was very sad when we returned the truck to the realtor.

Still moving. Nana leaves and we miss her. We really couldn't have done moving day(s) without her. Thanks NANA!

Now how to get Karen here to organize this mess? Feel free to send her money to fly here.


Monday, July 20th
Still no phone or internet and unpacking has begun. Mark said so much got done because I didn't have a phone or internet. BAH!

AC guys come and start to fix the AC unit. Piano is moved AGAIN. We were told we could hire a crane to get it up to our back door (second level) and get it into the "formal" living room that way. Don't put it past us to do something so crazy. First things first the new deck has to be complete in order to even think about that move.

The Lee Family up the street baked us a pie and welcomed us to the neighborhood! Love them already. Mr. Lee offered to help us move heavy stuff. They were on vacation and come home until Sunday and we did all the heavy stuff Saturday, doh! I prayed for someone to help, got him a day late or did I not wait long enough? Things that make you go "hum?" Regardless, not many people are so nice! Really nice people not just ones that say "we are good people".

Wednesday, July 22nd
AC guys are back to finish the AC work and AT&T finally comes to the house! Found out today the rental house is being rented out ASAP which gets us off the hook for two months rent.

Here I sit blogging and catching up on FB. Should be packing, BECAUSE.......

Thursday, July 23rd
We leave for Florida for a week! Off to Grandma's beach condo for a girls scrap weekend and family fun. Finally going to scrap my 2001 cruise to Spain, Casablanca, Gibraltar and Portugal. My life before kids. This is a much needed carefree week after the past nine months.

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.  ...
