Welcome to the World of Home Ownership!

Well, we finally moved in. The house is live-in-able. It is not ALL the way finished, but for the most part it is! It feels nice. Really nice. We have stayed here about four nights. The kids have slept in thier own beds, even Bailey. I wondered if he would sleep alone. I figured he would have issues... He proved me wrong! He's slept in it and all night long everynight! :o)

So welcome to home ownership. That is the name of this blog. Why? Because being a homeowner is HARD! We have already had things go wrong.... Luckily we have a handy Father-In-Law who is more than willing to help out when needed. He has already helped so much. He is awesome.

When they brought my fridge, something blew in my electric panel, and now my garage door opener, one kitchen plug and living room fan/light do not work! No power is running to them! It really sucks. Not sure what happened but Tims dad is going to check it out tomorrow.

Oh and my BRAND new fridge. The one I just bought, the ice maker part does not work!!! They are coming to look at it tomorrow.... I hope they can fix it up. The MAIN reason I bought that fridge, was for the icemaker/water in the door.... Sheesh!

But for the most part, things have been wonderful, being a homeowner. The kids were outside, playing vollyball yesterday and it was getting dark. There were lightening bugs ALL over the back yard, the kids said "Were So happy you bought this house! There are SO many light bugs!!" Sometimes they can be so cute ;o)

I am loving making memories in my new home. Its really great. I cannot wait to get a living room couch and then UNPACK the living room and have the whole house ready!

Its not always 50/50

Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter. So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well. God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

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 ...

Done Growing

Well soon enough it will be the start of a new school year. Sooner for my younger two, than for my older two. So today we went to get a few things that will be needed. Some shoes, socks and backpacks. Mommy needed a new pair of shoes too, I wear mine out pretty quickly being on my feet as a waitress. So my son is about the pickiest shoe person out there. Nothing fits. We have to try on like every.single.shoe. in his size before he can choose. Its irritating and stressful. Hannah was pretty easy although she did not take the cheaper "on sale" pair I liked best. Either way she was quick and painless. So then mom's turn. I put on a pair of 6.5 I wear those or 7's depending on the shoe. I wanted to try those new shoes with the curved bottom. Anyway... I get the 6.5 on and Hannah feels for my toes. "Oh you better get a size bigger" She says. "Those wont last the whole school year!" I told her I did not have to worry about outgrowing my shoes. My ...
