  • HEY!

    I am still around.  I haven't been getting online much lately.  I have been spending my time writing and helping the kids with their homework.  they really bring home alot now.  Gabby stays busy and she is just in fourth grade!  i can't imagine what it is going to be like when she hits junior high!  I shudder to think about it.

    i have also been doing some walking.  Just my way of trying to drop some weight.  It's a slow go, but I love it.  Mary is bringing number four along nicely and a link to it will get posted just as soon as it is finished and up for reading.  It will be done soon.

    I hope all you guys are doing well.  Take care and have a great week!

  • Cable geniuses of the World

    I know it has been a long time.  I was hoping the next time I blogged, I would being doing it from home instead of in a library with someone's screaming two year old right behind my head.  I love kids, but good grief.  Hello, libary.  bored child.  walk her?  ride her around in that stroller.  you know the drill if you're a mom.  anyway. teh reason I am not blogging from my home is because my lovely cable company screwed up. 

    Kenny and I added it up adn we actually figured out that it would be cheaper to have them cut off the cable and reconnect it at the new place instead of switching it.  So, I took the equipment up there and turned it in, put in for the cut off and waited patiently for the final bill at which time I was going to pay it and set it up to have the cable cut back on.  well, guess what.....

    1)I get a bill for almost four hundred dollars which is over twice the amount we actually owed them.

    2)  the chick at the company did not put in for the cut off.

    3) she actually left the modem to my phone and internet on the account, but took the cable box off, so when I called comcast about the problem, guess what...........

    They couldn't do anything about it. Nope, I had to take my receipt and go back to the cable office waving in her face where I had put in to cut if off and returned the equipment.

    Guess what..........

    I get this response.  "i know the computer still says that you owe this much, but when it is cut off on the 18th, the balance will be fixed to relflect up until the date you came in with your equipment.  You'll get a new bill around Oct 9th for the final balance."

    I say.  "Okay, what's the final balance and I'll take care of it before the new bill arrives?"

    "Don't know."  says cable genius.  "Won't know till you get your bill?'

     

    Why do I get the feeling me and the cable geniuses are going to have to have words again?

  • Neighborhood

    The neighborhood I live in now couldn't be better.  It is so quiet there.  I just love it.  We live close to the old highschool, so there is a walking track just a short distance from my house. Now that i am done with almost all the unpacking, i can try that track out.  There are still a few odds and ends scattered through the house, but it wont take long to get them where they need to be.  I worked myself to exhaustion trying to get as much done as possible because I did not want to have to spend everyday for a month doing it.  I want it over with, so i have been working really hard so that it would only take a week or two. The main thing now is the garbage.  We have piles of boxes that need to go out, but garbage only runs twice a week, so we wait very impatiently for the can to be empty so we can stuff more in there.

    I really love the house.  It's a quiet neighborhood.  If you can believe it, it is quieter there then it was in the country.  Or it may be that I am just more relaxed since I don't live next door to a crazy person anymore.  I like being able to spend the day at my house without the worry of someone bothering me.  That is worth the move alone.

    Well, I hope all of you are doing well!  Take care and have a great day.

    yuck

    I have so much stuff to do that I don't even want to begin to think about it.  We got everything moved and have been in the new house since this past Tuesday night.  I am tickled to be away from the drunk landlord I had.  Of course, I try to keep my nasty comments about the man to a minimum and I don't say anything in front of Kenny.  That is his stepdad.  Anyway, I am glad to be rid of the man and I am thrilled that unless I choose to, I never have to look at him again.

    we have unpacked a few things and so far the living room is the only room in the house that looks like a room instead of a storage unit.  I cannot believe all the junk I have..  It is absolutely ridiculous.  I should have gotten rid of more, but I donated a bunch of stuff and sold some too.  lol

    Anyway, I just wanted to drop a line to let everyone know what's up.  I hope all is well. you guys take care and have a great weekend!

  • Things are Looking Up

    Hello All!  As you know, Kenny and I found a cute little house to rent.  I have been working my butt off getting things packed up and ready to move.  I don't think I have ever been this ready to vacate a place.  Even when I lived at my moms!  I just really hate it here.  The way things are looking, we should be able to rent a Uhaul and move toward the beginning of next week.  The power is getting cut on in the new place tomorrow!  I am really hoping that I will be moved in to the new place and setting everything up by next weekend!  I am thrilled that it is finally happening and I am getting out of this place.

    My ebay stuff that I listed did wonderfully!  I made quite a bit of money on that.  I am glad of it too.  It will definitely help with the moving and all.  Of course, my brother has just been wonderful the way he keeps helping.  Of course, we are going to owe him a pretty penny when this is said and done.  It costs so much to move now-a-days.

    I am just happy that things are starting to move in that direction, however, there is still ALOT of stuff to do.

     

    Take care!  Hope all is well!

  • Kenny and I found the cutest little house today and it is now ours!  We already put a deposit to hold the place.  The landlord has to give the legal amount of time to the woman to get her stuff out (which is understandable).  That same amount of time will give us a chance to pack up stuff and get ready to be out of here.  See, teh quick version of the story is that the girl called him three weeks ago and said she was moving.  (She was already two months behind on the rent and he had been giving her a chance to pay it), well he just sat back and gave her three weeks plus this weekend to move stuff.  he said that he is filing Monday to go through the legal process if she has not finished getting her stuff out of the house by Monday.  The power is already off at the place and she is already living somewhere else.  She has just left some stuff that she had three weeks to get and still has not collected.  So, we are guessing in one to two weeks, maybe alittle longer, we will be able to start moving in.  However, I am not worried about the amount of time as long as it isn't a ridiculous amount of time.  We still have to go through things (see what needs to be donated, what can be sold taht we dont want, and just to pack).  That time gives us plenty of time to do that.  I am just thrilled!  Kenny said he is just happy to see me smiling again.

    The only other news I have right now is that I do have stuff listed on ebay if you guys want to take a look.  My username is LittleAngel4523.  I also have a horrible cold that I can't shake for anything.  I have been trying to hard and I just can't get rid of it.  I think the changing back and forth in the weather is really getting to me.  You know the standard hot one minute, cold the next.  I can't stand weather like that.

    I hope all is well for everyone!  Take Care!

  • I Love My brother

    My oldest brother doesn't like the fact that I am so unhappy where I live, so he has decided that he is going to loan me the money, so that I can move out of this nightmare!  I am so appreciative!  When he mentioned it, I thought that I was going to burst into tears!  I mean, I really hate where I live that much.  It is really awful that I hate it that much.  I am really grateful that my brother is willing to do that.  It is so sweet of him!

    Now that I have told you that, I have some more good news!  We have already started looking for a place.  Kenny is behind moving.  He knows that I am not happy here.  Well, we looked at this one really cute house.  We're meeting the guy tomorrow to see the inside to see if it would be big enough.  If it is not, there are alot of available houses around here, so we will just keep looking!  It's really happening!  I'm getting out of here finally!

    UNTIL I FIND A PLACE, THOUGH, I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.  hee hee

    I've already started packing.  ha ha

  • Time For Me

    Well it is official.  The kids went back to school last Friday and I am free to spend my days however I please.  Part of me really misses them.  I mean, it is so quiet when they are at school.  It kind of shows what it will be like when they aren't so little anymore.   Both Gabby and JC are super excited about their new school year.  Gabby entering the fourth grade and JC stepping into second grade really has both of them wired and excited.  Now it is officially time to decide what to do with this time that has been given to me.  School, work, what?

    I actually filled out quite a few applications as most of you know.  So far, nothing.  Which the job market is kind of horrible at the moment anyway.  I haven't completely decided about school yet.  If I went back, what would I go for?  I wonder if other thirty year olds are as confused as I am.  Right now, I am listing things on ebay to try to make some money and just hanging out with my mom, my brothers, or Mary.  Depends on the day.  I am wondering now if I will ever figure out what I want to do with myself.

    I wanted all this time for me and now that I have it, what do I do with it?

    I haven't been up to much since the last time I blogged.  Just been doing some writing and getting ready to send the kids back to school.  This Friday is the first day of school!  Whoo hoo!  Excuse me for sounding exciting.  I'm looking forward to alittle Jaime time.  I'm such a horrible mother.  I signed on to xanga today to realize that I am BEHIND as usual.  HA ha.  I have several, and I mean several, emails from xanga that I have to sift through and read my subs.  Sorry, I haven't checked in with ya!

    While I was away I learned that I absolutely LOVE the show "How I met Your Mother" and I simply must have every season.  If you have never watched this, you should.  If nothing else, you will get a good laugh out of it! 

    I watched several new movies while I was away.  I will be sure to post my opinions on those at a later date so be sure to check that out.

     

    I hope that everyone is doing well!  I promise to start working on catching up as soon as possible!  TAKE CARE!
