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!

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 ...

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...

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 :)
