Miss me? LOL! I have been on email and web sabbatical for awhile because our list of house projects has been so long. My current project is staining my new cottage kitchen table! That is going to take several more hours this week and I am trying to figure out how to schedule that around you know who’s sleep times. You know who has been keeping me from sleep the last couple of days – the drama never ends. I’ll save that story for his post though.<\/p>\n
I LOVE our new house and everything is coming together better than I had hoped. You always worry when you purchase a new home that your furniture won’t really fit right but I think this house was just made to be my home – literally:). I am so thankful for this gift. As for pictures (per request:), yes I will post them but I’ll have to post slowly as I get rooms done and I am NOT there yet. Still painting, hanging lights and fans, hanging shelves……. As a result, there isn’t any room that looks really put together yet but we are getting closer.<\/p>\n
Tanner is adjusting well but did ask me last week if I could move our new backyard to our old house:). He finally conceded that the back yard was better LOL. At least its progress. Aunt Heidi mailing presents to our new address was quite helpful too! I told him he could only get mail box presents if we lived here so he is quick to bring this up.<\/p>\n
I don’t feel adjusted yet – still too much to do and I haven’t even had time for a good clean yet. Cleaning a house really does bond you to it and we haven’t formed that relationship yet LOL. It shows to! Tanner is wanting me to make cookies with him today, I have a tax appointment, I need to balance my budget, my dryer is now up and running so I have a mountain of laundry, I have to unload more groceries……will I actually get to the cleaning today? Jury still out.<\/p>\n
For years my Aunt Beck has compared me to the absent minded professor. She tells me that I am one of the most intelligent people that she knows (she runs in a small crowd hee hee!) but that I also have the least amount of practical sense:). I do many things in a week to demonstrate her point (unfortunately). In the last two weeks I have driven to our old house FOUR times and wondered why a red truck was in our driveway:). Ooops! Thank the Lord our new house is only a mile away – can you imagine how much gas I would have wasted if it was farther? I haven’t mentioned this to Jim yet – don’t need to give him harrassment ammunition right now;).<\/p>\n
Heidi wants to know if I will be changing our OCOC Hick Horse address. Hmmmmm….well since it never was an accurate description anyhow, I think I like this reference to our current address as well. (For those that may not know, or may not remember, Tanner invented this address at 2 and insisted it was real so I have kept it:)<\/p>\n
Ty has just woke up and will be demanding breakfast. I will post their updates later. Ty is doing well but here is your teaser for my Ty posting….I had to call the paramedics for him on Monday. Sigh…..more about why later. (He is ok – no worries).<\/p>\n
