its all worth it right?

Tell me it is. I have been to my house everyday for the past two weeks (since they put it on the foundation) I can't go inside, at least not till the loan closes. I have peeked in all the windows, moved my furniture around in my head, decided the boys deserve their own rooms so i no longer have a scrap room. I know....shocking. But I think I have it figured out. Its going to take a LOT of purging but I think I have figured out a way to put my stuff in the family room tucked into the corner. This way I can be with the boys while they play and maybe even scrap more. It will all work out. The boys are excited now that they have their own rooms. Chris will get the top bunk of their current bed that will have space underneath for bean bag chair and his play station. Taylor will have room for toys and his own space. It may take them a while to get used to but dang Chris needs some place to be alone. Taylor wont leave him alone and he is starting to get to the age where he just wants to go to his room and read, play game boy do is homework ect. He's a good kid and he deserves it. I am getting a whole new house, he should get his own room.

Anyway. There is no outside water at my house. I walked around it 3 times last night just to make sure. They did not put any spigots on the outside of the house. There are outlets, but no spigots. I called them, they said that wasn't in the deal. WTF!! I mean REALLY people. They said they could have a guy out in a week to a week and a half to do it, but they would have to charge me. I told them forget it I will get my own guy. I called the plumber that has helped us out in the past and he said he would go look and that he could probably have it done TODAY. Yeah that is customer service baby! So my lawn (if it ever comes back) WONT die...and the trees I plant THIS fall will make it to another summer. lol...and I can still spray my kids down when they get muddy. Life is good.

I have yet to hear when the final walk through is. When I spoke to them this afternoon they said, we are going to look at the schedule and call you back. Right....they never call back. When i do the final walk through I am going through it with a FINE tooth comb. I am flushing EVERY toilet, turning on EVERY faucet, Starting the dishwasher, turning on EVERY light, checking ALL the caulking and paint and CARPET. I think I will roll around in every room to see if it wrinkles up. Anything and I mean ANYTHING wrong and they will fix it before I sign. I am paying for this house and dang it, IT WILL be right!

Can you tell I am a little upset by all this. Did I even tell you guys what it took to get the electricity hooked up? I can't remember but the water spigot thing was nothing compared to the electrical. Tomorrow morning I am going to start putting the fence back up. I miss my puppy and can't wait to have him back but it can't happen till we get the fence back in!! Hopefully moving day is next Saturday!!!! YEAH!!!

The boys start school on Monday. Scary my kids are so old. Scary I am so old.....They are all ready.  Taylor even had his 'meet the teacher' today. We got to bring in school supplies early and meet the new teacher, see the desks and stuff like that. We actually know his teacher very well. Chris had her in second and I volunteered that year for art mom, and she is just lovely. She is strict though. She demands the respect of the kids but treats them like adults and they respond very well to it. Taylor may have a LITTLE trouble with this. So we shall see how it goes. This picture was from the first day last year. It will be fun to see the difference a year has made. Mostly on thier hair I think. They have both decided to grow it out this year. I have agreed as long as they take care of it. We are not talking kiss long we are talking "that seventies show" long. Its the style again. I told them we would try it! lol.....

My email is flubbed up. I am not receiving any emails!!! I am not ignoring you!! i promise. I have had like two emails come through in a week! Could someone test it out and email me!!!!???

finally

The house should be finished this week and i should be closing middle of next week. yikes...

A bright spot in a nasty day!!

Isn't this GREAT!! The agent I work for (one of them anyway) has this really wonderful. She is coming to my retreat next month and she made me these for my NEW bathroom!!! How sweet! Really needed this today! thank you LAREE!!!

oh this is my new bathroom...course its not even livable yet...not hooked up to power and this is a pic from when it was on the lot. But this is perfect for it!!!

We found out

not much

NOt much going on.  House is still sitting there. Turns out that even if the workers were there it wouldn't do any good. The power was turned back on and my main breaker on my power box went out. The power company told me to call an electrtion. I have one going out today. There goes another two hundred bucks. o'well at least THAT will be new LOL...

I want a new washer and dryer. I have had mine for a while and the dryer is just about to give up the ghost. I am not sure if its the dryer or the ventalation system in my old house, but it takes about 3 hours to dry ANYTHING! i hope its better on the better ventalation. lol..my mind is wandering today...sorry guys!

Have a great weekend!

angry and frustrated.

So I drive past the house today and no one is there working on it. I wonder if the power needs to be turned on. So i call the company and the sweet (sticky sweet) lady there tells me "Oh we tried to call you! We had an emergency at another house so we had to send them over there. They wont be back at your house till NEXT week". Excuse me!!?? hmmmm......i asked her just as sweet if I need the power turned on. Of course.

I can't say anymore...i just can't.

So here is another bracelet my friend has made for he website! Cute huh?

With so much time on my hands I have started to journal again. I used to do it a lot as a kid and even after I got married but stopped. Its not like a dear diary but just a list of stuff that has happened during the day, things we saw, things the boys say. Hoping that when I actually get a scrap room back I can use it as a reference for some pages.

I don't know how much longer I can take it...

Darn cute!!

So a friend of mine and a client has been making the adorable diaper cakes that she will sell on her current web site. They are so darling and so very trendy. Way better and cuter than any I have seen out there. She is also branching out into baby bracelets. I have had the pleasure of being the photographer and just proofing them up for her and I thought I would show you my fav so far!! This one is called 'Happiness'. Isn't it cute!!??

i just think this is soo cute! She has so many others and hopefully i can show you a pic of her diaper cake soon!! here is her website just in case you wanna c!! She doesn't have the bracelets up yet...well because i haven't given them to her yet...lol
