Working on it...

I know I know...I'm working on getting it fixed. No time till after the kiddos go down and Donald is off to work.

When I grow up I'll know what I'm doing with all this...LOL

The chicks dig it

We just got in from the park and Daniel (3) was riding his bike. Another girl from our complex was playing too. She is eleven and had been helping Daniel along (giving him a push etc). K had gone over to play with Nathan on the equipment and Daniel comes zooming by (not watching at all where he was going) and is hollering ''K..... K..... look at me, I'm Daniel'' LOL I kept hearing that song in my head 'Chicks Dig It' :)

Nathan is coughing today. They are on triaminic but I think tomorrow I'll probably head out and grab some actual cough syrup, if their (more specifically Nathan's) cough isn't improved.

Oh and another funny. Today I was talking to my friend, her hubby is active duty Air Force and they will move changing duty stations this year. They were originally heading to either Guam or Alaska, but the possiblity of Hawaii has come up in the last few days. Anyway I was telling Nathan (5) that his friend might be moving to Hawaii. Wanna know what he said??? "Will he get to meet 626?" LOL Hee hee, he's just started watching Lilo and Stitch since we moved here and he is all about those experiments...

As I sit here typing this Daniel finished up his hotdog. He wanted just the hotdog (no bun) with some mustard and katchup to dip it into. Well he finished then brought me the plate (paper) I asked him to please go put it in the garbage and he acted *all* offended saying it was his creation. LOL He had smeared his mustard and katchup all around. Who knows, I'm sure Van Gogh did the same. ;)

And finally before I start supper (red beans and rice and mexican cornbread) Carrie started a great meme yesterday...go on over and either post in her comments or to your blog. :)

Quiet Time Postings

The boys are down for naps...well Elijah and Daniel are sleeping Nathan is looking at books. Donald is sleeping too. He went to nights last night, so he came in and we had to go to the bank and then Fed Ex. We had to get paperwork notarized (sp?) and then Fed Ex'd back to GA. Our closing is set for next Thursday. Let me say again just how relieved I'll be to have ths whole deal behind us.

The boys and I all have a cold/cough/runny nose/sneezing thing going on. I'm actually doing the majority of the coughing ...ick...I hate being sick.

We drove by some dealerships to look at cars today. Donald still isn't sure what he wants. For so long he's be thinking about getting a extended cab truck, but now he is toying with the idea of buying an Expedition and that becoming my car and he would just drive the van. He wants a motorcycle at some point too. So he's thinking of waiting till after Jan. 2005 when he gets his next raise to figure in one of those. Who knows how it will all end up.

OH Donald took his 7 month law and Spanish board yesterday and Monday. He made a 96 and a 93 respectively...yay, job security till April at least. :)

I think I'm must be becoming a local or either my 'sickness' has me chilled. It was 78 on Monday and the boys were at the playground in shorts...today it's 64 and I'm freezing. LOL Oh I know I know, *that* really isn't cold to those of you with -643* temps and 6 ft. snow drifts...but when your in S. Texas you kinda gage ''cold'' differently. LOL

Ok. I think I'm going to try to sneak a nap while everyone is resting.

Have a good one yall. :)

Friday Five

on a Sunday even...LOL (early morning Sunday...hee hee see my previous post )

At this moment, what is your favorite...

1. ...song?

****well I haven't been listening to the radio much lately...but an old song from the group Harvest has been in my head for the last few days.

2. ...food?

****yum, Mexican :)

3. ...tv show?

****does Food TV count? Its a toss up between that and HGTV

4. ...scent?

****I'm very scent oriented. I just broke tradition and bought Gain w/Bleach as opposed to Tide w/Bleach and maaaaaaaaan that stuff smells ~good~. I love Yankee Candles in Clean Cotton, Buttercream, Harvest and Home Sweet Home oh and I also like the Green Grass scent...yes, I really do. :)

5. ...quote?

I always like this one I read by Adrian Rogers a few years back ~*~One big decision will take care of a lot of little ones, just make up your mind~*~

Late Night Ramblings

Is it indicitive that I'm getting old when I say late night ramblings and it's just nearing midnight? I supposed technically it's correct, since after midnight its consider early morning... ok I digress.

Lets see, I promised I wouldn't disappear and well then I did. :) We actually have our house under contract in GA, YAY. But it has been a big hoopla. I went with a realtor that was recommended. Let me just be really frank and upfront I don't know nothin' bout selling no houses LOL. I generally assume a positive attituded and assume that folks are generally honest. Well boys and girls, don't you do it. Let me be your example, learn all about the ins and outs of selling a house and what ''as is'' ''no closing cost'' really means. Because that is how we sold our home and yet, because I have no knoweldge of wordings and I'm working with one sly realtor she managed to get $2K from us that should come from the buyer. Oh well, the contract is signed, but you better belive I'll never be naive and idiotic again.
Updates soon

I really am around, things are *really* crazy/busy...an update soon. I promise. :)

Baby potatoes, Baby carrots, Baby sweet peas....

OH and many congrats and best wishes for a happy and healthy 9 months to Dana and Chris
And she posts again

I'm around, just not posting much. Donald is working ''days'' it's better than ''mids'' but still it seems to cut the day in half or something. We had our highs in the 70s today so we ran to walmart really quick and then stopped by and let the boys play at the park. They love going to the park, we have one here at our apartment complex and we go most everyday but to go to one OFF the complex...that is like a big treat...lol, oh to be a kid again. :)

First I saw it over at Alison's and then over at Liz's ...

OH, wow...now that was a hiatus :) See I really didn't mean to disappear. After my parents left on Thrusday we left the following Monday to head to Houston for a week, then it was unpacking and laundry then New Years and well. Now I'm back. :)

We had a wonderful Christmas and the New Year is looking good so far. We actually got an offer on our house in GA. OH that it would sell. I'm SOOOOO ready to buy furniture and stop living like recent college grads (in other words, we have a futon lol) Our realtor said it had shown a lot but this was the first offer. They offered well below our asking price and I counter offered with about 3K more but less than the asking price. We'll see, I think we should hear by tomorrow evening. I'm not getting my hopes up, but it sure would be nice.

Ok. Well it's after 1 am here and I need to head to bed...I promise not to disappear like that again (until I do....lol, then I'll have a big explination for why I did it. :)
