Home Ownership

Something I have always wanted, but never really thought would happen to me. For some reason, even though I am nearly 30 year old, and even though I have four children... Sometimes I feel as though I am still a child. Definately not a "grown up" by anymeans. This week though, I feel like a grown up.

About a month ago, we found out we qualified for a home loan, thanks to Tim (my loving husband) and his V.A. Benefits! So we started looking. We looked at probably 20 homes, but the second we went too, was the one that stuck in our minds. A couple weeks later, it would be the one we put an offer in on, and the one who's offer was ACCEPTED!

Inspection, all that went well. So we are now homeowners! We closed Monday. Its a very grown up feeling, walking into a home, that you OWN. Not that you rent. You own it. No one has the keys to it but YOU because its YOURS. Its a wonderful feeling. Wonderful.

So the house is nice, older and totally carpeted, totally. Still stuck in the 70's style for the most part, but we can change that, and in fact, we are! We tore up the carpet in the dinning room, and kitchen, and bathroom. We are changing the countertops, painting the cabinets, and we removed the "house and hearts" wall paper that was in the kitchen. SO currently the house looks as though we have nearly demolished it. Eleven days until we have to be out of our apartment and I am wondering WHAT IN THE HELL we have done!!!???

Soon, very soon I hope. I will be relaxing, cooking nice meals in my new kitchen. Right now though it just feels like we tore stuff up when maybe we should not have!

So I wanted to start a blog on the progress of our home, and the memories we will soon be making in it. That is what this is. It will not be fancy now, because as you can tell I am busy putting my home back together so we can live there!!!

That is the start of the crazy life of Clorie

Don't Eat That!

 Recently I was having a conversation with someone, who I will not name, and they said something about eating boogers... Then told me that it was healthy, "look it up." She said. So, not until today but even so I did. I found that apparently she was correct, and eating boogers is healthy for you. So when your kids pick and then go to munch, I guess maybe you should let them do it? Booger pie anyone?  Upon googleing this information was found:  Dr. Bischinger has been quoted as saying (in an Austrian accent), “With the finger you can get to places you just can’t reach with a handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner. And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body’s immune system.” He then added, “Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do. In terms of the immune system the nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria are collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it wor...

It's cute

It's cute how I used to think this barely holding it together feeling was temporary. So blogs. I can never focus on it. I want to keep a running log of this crazy life and then the craziness makes that impossible or seem so. In May, 2 months ago I got divorced. Just shy of 17 years married it was final. It was ultimately my choice, I paid for it, and I'm not at all unhappy I did it. However that does not in any way, shape, or form mean that it was EASY for me. It's still not easy. Let's just start with this evening for example. Son has friends over and wants to play his video game. However we have 1 tv and it's in the girls room. He had a monitor a while back and smashed it when he got angry btw. So he finds someone to loan him a monitor and now he needs a jump drive to update said game. It's 10pm I work at 8. I'm in bed  but I look for a jump drive. Can't find one. Sorry. Then the wifi won't work well it's out power won't come on to it...

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...
