A Quicky!!

Hello everyone!! This has to be quick because M is giving me the eye while he is loading the Uhaul!!! YUP! We closed on the house and we are moving our stuff from the rental house in tonight! It's going to be a long and exahusting night but will be well worth it! We get our stuff from our Indiana house on Friday or Saturday. No fridge for a few days so alot of microwave eating or eating out. Gotta get I just got the eye again! We will be without internet for a couple of days so I will post when we get it up and running! I'll have tons of pics to post too!

My 11 year old

Today she is 11.

When I woke her up this morning, I told her that she better have fun today because I could no longer allow her to get any older. She just looked at me and said "What do you mean mom?" I said "I have to kill ya! You can't get any older." "Yeah right." was her come back. Then she said "what about you? Your still here." me "My mom and dad weren't smart enough and look at what they had to put up with." So I gave her an option. Either offen her or she could live in a cage the rest of her life. Both P and T chose the cage. They thought they wouldn't have to go to school anymore. I advised them that I would have to buy a crane and take them every where that way. I am sure I found this alot funnier than all of you. The three of us laughed about it on the way to school. I just can't believe she is 11...ELEVEN!! AHHHHHHH where does the time go???

Say hello to my little friend

Or not so little. Dang, I thought everything in TX was bigger but I think IL has one on them. This is the biggest praying mantis I have EVER seen. He was helping me get gas yesterday. For a moment I thought he might start talking to me he was so big. Ok...no....I was not on anything thank you very much. He was just huge.

Anyway, things here are going ok. They put carpet in the house yesterday and all the door knobs too. It is coming together quickly. We have the first walk through on Wednesday the 10th at 12:30. I can't wait! There are a few things they need to fix but it is really looking awesome. I can't wait to sleep in my bed. This air mattress thing is getting very uncomfortable. The older I get the more things I find I can't sleep on. When M and I first got married and went camping we slept on the ground in sleeping bags then it went to air mattresses. Then we upgraded to a double queen size mattress which is what we are sleeping on right now. Next I think its a hotel. But then that wouldn't be camping huh?

I wanted to say thanks to all who commented about the no friends and me hating it here. I hope you are all right. But it seems that people in IL are not as friendly as IN and OK and TX. But then OZ never gave nothing to the tin man that he didn't already have. (sorry I'm listening to my IPOD and America's Tin Man. Who knows where my brain is and what it is doing. The fumes of the cleaning solutions must be getting to me.

I did take pictures of the house yesterday but they all came out bad. M has to take the pics, I'm just not good at it. I will post some this weekend. Have a great Friday/weekend.

My first bad day.

I knew it was inevitable and today was or should I say is the day. I hate it here. I want to go back to Indiana (or OK for that matter or hey even better yet TX!!!!!) Any place but here. I have no friends and all I do is clean, laundry and EAT! It sucks and I want my friends and family around me. I was doing OK until I called my old neighbor and she told me that she and another neighbor were getting ready to go and have brunch. I started to cry and felt really stupid because I was driving down 55 on my way back home from taking the kids to school and people were looking at me like I was crazy. Oh well I guess life does go on without me.

My house won't be done soon enough. I hate not having MY things. My dishes, my recipes etc. I guess I just need to snap out of it and stop feeling sorry for myself. I know others have it allot worse and I should be grateful. ( I still hate it here!! :p )

Our weekend was quite. M and #1 E went to WI and went mountain bike riding on Sunday. Both came back unharmed. I was more worried about M than E because there is a bit of a age difference. But they had fun. I took P and T to see Wall-E. It was OK. But they liked it. To young to get the meaning of the whole thing. We also went to an apple orchard we found and got apples and fudge and fresh honey. They have a corn maze but it wasn't open yet. We will have to take them back in a couple of weeks and go through that.

Well I guess that would be if for today, my life being so exciting and all. NOT! Oh whoa is me. Have a great Tuesday everyone!
