Getting Back to “Normal”

Monday, March 15th, 2010

I’m still trying to adjust to having the computer back and having floor where there once was a gaping hole of concrete. We can’t mop that area of the floor until Easter to make sure the grout has had time to dry, which is driving me a little batty. I know that this doesn’t mean [...]

Drain and Sunshine

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

We’ve been having some issues over the past week, once again with the sleep disruption and just feeling more than a little drained and tetchy, it’s been a bad combination of things. The lack of computer with it’s prospects of “ruining us financially”, Max working through some rather sticky issues, and that certain time of [...]

Excitement

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

We’re finally going to get the tiling done in the house! I’m so excited.
It has been irritating me for a while that the tile was not fixed, but especially with the prospect of another friend moving in and renting from us it was decided that the tile had to get done, because it’s just been [...]

Holidays are Over

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

The munchkin got very upset on Sunday because we took down the decorations. He kept insisting that it was still Christmas and we shouldn’t take the tree down because he wanted more presents, even though we’ve explained to him many times that just because the tree was still up didn’t mean that we were going [...]

New Year Clean Up

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

We’ve spent the past two days working on the clean-up and making a lot of headway. It’s really helped us to have a chart listing what is the priority and which order we’re going to attack things in. It’s made a horrendously huge task manageable. Hubbie’s been working the past couple of days and again [...]

Happy New Year

Friday, January 1st, 2010

I shouldn’t have been surprised that I was up to see the New Year in. I’ve been up until almost midnight every day for the past few days. Hubbie had to go to bed early because he had to be up to go to work at 5 a.m. but Kore and I stayed up to [...]

Is it Ty Pennington?

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

The guy who fixes peoples houses? Is it? Because I’m about ready to make a video and send it.
I wake up this morning with this MEGA to do list of things and discover the place is a shambles, and I’m not just talking about the clothes, crap and toys all over the place.
Faith set dishes [...]

2 Years

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Two years ago today we signed the mortgage paperwork on this house. I felt it auspicious that we were signing the paperwork on the Solstice, and despite the rough times we’ve been through with money and health, the house has always remained, a great comfort and great shelter.
Slowly and surely we’re getting used to [...]

Gift Shopping

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

While we were at Target I was also looking around to get ideas for Yule presents. I have several good ideas for the munchkin now based on toys that he kept stopping to play with. He has a yin for all things Transformers right now, and Target also has a lot of Thomas the Tank [...]

Tiling Our Floor

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

At some point soon we’re going to finally be able to fix the floor in our hallway that has been messed up for a few months due to us being paranoid about a foundation leak, which turned out to be the air conditioner.
We haven’t been able to by the tin set that we need to [...]
