Rarely do Dr tell you the whole truth about surgery, "oh you will be back to work in a few days" right!? BUT when they say it is going to hurt they aren't lying.

Alexandra has two loose teeth

I already miss taking Alexandra to art class. Might sign up both preschool kids next go round.

I miss friends and family terribly today. I think it is because Nana was here for almost a week and left today.

All three kids are sick. Same viral cold with all having different reactions. Nathan and Alexandra have pink eye, with runny noses and a slight cough. Alexandra also has an ear infection in her outer ear. Maddie is a mess and sounds like she has smoked cigarettes for 50 years. Finally got her a narcotic cough medicine so the girl can sleep. We have antibiotics, ear drops, eye drops, cough medicine and over the counter medications. Praying I don't put ear drops in the kids eyes. OYE VE!

I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week!

Can't believe Christmas is upon us!

Did I say how much I miss my friends?

We haven't gotten much done to the house because we are having a hard time getting people here. Not sure what lesson I am supposed to be learning but some of this I can't make up.

Chimney guy was going to finally be here almost two weeks ago but went to the hospital for an infection in his hand (on the day I was scheduled) Haven't hear a word from him since.

We have an awful smell coming from the downstairs bathroom and have to pay an $79 fee for the plumber that said he didn't know where it was coming from. Called another plumber for a second option. He was supposed to be here yesterday at 8 am. NO SHOW. Called him and he said he got us and another client mixed up and would not be able to get here until TUESDAY!........ scratch that he just called and said he could come in 5 minutes if that was okay with me....... YES PLEASE! So weird he called as I was typing about him.

Four must be the magic number because that is the number of times it took the roof guys to fix the roof. I think it is fixed and pray that it is fixed right this time. Over two months since I signed the contract!

Not good news on the plumbing. I see my kitchen remodel $$$ going out the door and into the plumbers pockets. OR am I getting a new kitchen faster than we planned? UGGG! Talk of having to tear out ceilings and tub in master bath. Joy of an upstairs kitchen that ties into you master bathroom. Might end up with a new master bath too. Which only means other things will have to wait.

Whatever this bug is that isn't "the flu" sure is bad enough! We've had the same experience - we all have the same cause, but different infections. From sinus/ear infections to pneumonia! And when will it end? This started Halloween weekend! I've been hacking for weeks.

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school.  I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family.  I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep.   Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken.  I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB!  Okay this is my only job on earth.  I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep.   I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30".  He was awake and heard her too.  We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep.  Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan.  He wanted to sneak out our

9 to 5

I have never cared about recession until this one.  Apparently during the last recession I didn't notice a thing.  Probably because we were living the DINK lifestyle (dual income no kids).  I don't even think I had my own 401k at the time.  Anyway, Mark for the past two years has worked for a pool manufacture.   Do you know anyone in the past year that has put in a pool? Probably not.  This is the reason why he isn't working.  The pool industry is all dried up. (I couldn't help the pun.) Although we knew the pool cash cow wouldn't last forever, it did last for over two years.  Two years at the beginning of Nathan's life that Mark was able to be here at home.  He got to see his son grow up from a baby to a little boy.  What a blessing.   That chapter of our lives is coming to an end.    Mark is now looking for a "9 to 5" job.  Two years ago we said when and if the pool job ended Mark would look for a job outside of our area.  Well, the time has come and

Southern Charm

We made an offer (low), the owners countered (expected) and they countered exactly what I thought they would. So, unless the inspector says the house should be demolished we will be the owners of a 1965, full brick, colonial style, bi-level house the second week of July or earlier. It is on a golf course, 6th fairway. It has a pool, fireplace, an original 60's kitchen (redo), hardwood floors, two car garage and much more. We know the process is long when buying a house in this condition. It's not in deplorable shape, livable in need of some updates. It is 44 years old and has not had major updates. This house is 10 years newer than our last house. It has character and southern charm. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Photos on the web are copyrighted. Not sure If I can post them here. I will try and do a link instead......
