I have not done this for a long time...i'm soon gonna how to forget to blog!  LOL

 

I'm in Cali right now visiting my kiddos and my family for the holiday.  We are staying in Michigan with Andy's folks til work pops up.  Where to next?  Hmmm.... 3 choices so far...NY, Virginia or North Carolina.  Work better come soon cause the holiday is landing us broke.

 

Farm work has been good to us.  Using muscles that never existed before and eating pretty good.

 

Anniversary was yesterday and spent the day with the kiddos.  We got to see Happy Feet (pretty darn cute) and the boys Eragon (which Andy said it was slow in the beginning)  So 5 yrs of wedding bliss was spent happily.

 

Let's see...kids growing like weeds and yapping a whole lot...it's amazing...

 

A friend I haven't heard for a while said hi (always good)

 

ummmmm....

 

I did a stain glass piece and NO it ain't the type where you paint on the glass  (those who do that are cheaters!)

 

Andy has a contact lost in his eyeball and we are heading to the optometrist to get that out....(we aren't going into that convo)

 

and that is about it..

 

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Holiday Wishes for those who celebrate the other wonderful festivities for this time of the year.

 

My love to you all and Happy New Year to!!!!

 

Torando watch til 9 pm tonight (possibly warning later)  YIPEE!!!!!! Yep still in the panhandle of Florida...just kickin back in the hotel and watchin TV.  Heading back to the apartment on the weekend to get our winter things packed and head up to Michigan for Thanksgiving.  Then we are going up to NY to work.  Yep still working and almost accomplishing the goal we need for a house

 

My kiddos are doing fine.  My brother bought a big home and my kiddos and my parents will be moving in with him.  They are excited and the kids are too.  Daniel will be going to a public school with his cousin.  My mom thinks he will have to repeat 2nd grade but I don't think so.  Daniel is in 3rd grade reading and english and is only 3 months behind...so summer school can make that up as well as tutoring..but she keeps saying he does...I figured out the reason behind it and its because of my nephew...Daniel is one grade ahead of him and I think she believe it's better for the 2 of them to be together.  Unfortunely it would backfire since Daniel will be doing the rest of his schooling in Michigan.  So it has been a trying matter between my hubby and I.

 

Other then that, family drama, and wack out weather...which has been going on for a month...I already been thru 2 tornandos...things are okay.  Not the best, not exactly good, but okay.  Maybe its because i'm in a mood to where blah is most of my words.  Im gonna have to soon blog about my trip to St. George Island and post the pics.  That was awesome.

 

Well gonna float around in cyber world..Ya'll take care

 

Yeah it's been like that.  Lets see lets start off with Andy's Found On Road Dead (for those who are going huh?  FORD truck).  He got it running..sounds like shit.  But hey it's running.  After putting in, maybe, $1500 total into this Found on road dead POS...his alternator went to crap.  So now that its not dead, its now what I will be calling Fix Or Repair Daily POS.

THEN..... The Tahoe (of course I had to be driving it) goes bang in the engine and Starts to whistle.  I get to the hotel find and tell Andy.  Well, we loss the reverse.  sigh...We take it to the dealership today, now reverse mine ya and knowing something else is gonna go wrong (which it did) the damn thing ain't shifting out of 2nd gear very well. You got to put it into 2nd let off the gas a little then floor it then shift it into 3rd. Well the company has a mini van that I'm driving around and I swear I almost crashed that puppy when Andy called me.  $3000.00 smackers...yep 3 thousand...to REPLACE THE FRICKING GRABBIN NABBIT TRANSMISSION!!!!!  Well the warranty is good on it..Brand new from GM, all parts, labor, maintance good for 3 years.  A business write off but we were saving $$$$$. Sigh-- we're not getting any where....

Yes peoples I am ready to nuke the stupid little mf trucks...all his.  Thank God my Trailblazer is good.

  Then again I don't let Andy drive it. 

Daniel called and he's losing his botton teeth finally.  And I'm going nuts to try find a toy for Lillie for her birthday.  sigh...

Let's see anything else...could be going to the Carolinas, New Jersey or Oregon...but I might not be working with Andy.  THey only want him... another blow...

Can anything else get more depressing?  Maybe....

OH but I am happy with the hotel I'm staying at.  THe bar that sits across from here, tee hee, the bartender knows how to make SCOOBY SNAKS!!  Yipee ( yes mom, i have been drunks)  They are so good.   Yummy...I might just go back over there again LOL.  2 nights in a row.  LOL

Other then that guys..work keeps me busy..I guess that is a good thing LOL.

Thats all I do...6 days a week, 10 hrs a day and man I'm beat.  It has been a year that I have had my blog and man I have been such a slacker.  It use to be I wrote in this thing daily but now that I am working it has been hard to kep up.  Including playing GW has slacked off.  I should be on playing that game since that this is a preview weekend for the new expansion, but I'm too tired to offically think LOL!

My kiddos miss me.  They want to come "home."  But we have no "home" yet.    I told Daniel soon but I gave him no definite date.  I told him we were working hard and eventually mommy won't work when he comes home.  He even made me promise that he cook our first dinner together.  "I make a good ham sandwich" he says...  Such a precious son. 

Lillie is speaking clearer and apparently both kids growing like weeds.  My mom email me and Lillie who turns 4 next month is in a size 6 for girls.  Talk about a bean sprout.  Daniel is also getting taller.

I told Andy when we get them the first night he will be sharing a bed.  There is no way he's gonna be able to kick those kids out of bed.  I won't let him.  He just smiled. 

I do miss my kids so much.  It hurts.  But eventually the reward will be great.  We will have OUR house and we will be together.

There is so much more drama going on but *sigh* I won't go into that.  Well I will be going for now.  I miss everyone and I hope everyone is doing well.  Take Care!

I just realized that next month I would have done a blog for a year.  I can't believe that I got dedicated into this.  LOL  Sometimes I wonder if I really have a life at all....

 

Anyways..SHopping went well.  It was funny today cause the bank suspend Andy's credit card because we spent so much in one place.  Victoria Secret's $327 and some odd change, The Limited (on 4 pieces of clothing) $217 and some odd change and another store $75.00 for a nice dress shirt for Andy.  (we're going to go out clubbin' eventually)  We spent all in all that day $600.  No to bad.

 

Register Andy's truck today and got out liscense for Florida.  I think the lady had a bigger kick out of our reactions.  She cut up out DL's and we're like great.  Espcially me because I need a copy to send into my employer (yep job) and then she hands out our offical liscense to us.  I was like DAMN!!!! Wish they can do that in Cali.  Then they were telling me that Arizona gives out liscense with expiration of 35 yrs.  Thats right.  You would renew your liscense in 35 years of issue date... WOW

 

The job... I start in 2 weeks in this area...yep with Andy.  The guy who does the market here doesn't care.  So I'm happy.  More income and we should be able to get the house by the time the kids get back to us.. If things don't fall apart LOL

 

Anyways -- going to bed.  Had played GW again and do some of the forum.  Trying to get that done ASAP since I have the time.  So I'll blog at ya later!!

 

Love Ya Kiddos and miss you too!!!!  Just look up at the stars and I'm looking right up there with ya.....hugs and kisses!!!

 

 

 

 

 

I can't sleep....Andy is to be home next week.  HORRRAAYYYY!!!  I have been debating on redoing the blog look.....yeah changes.  But changes are good, right?

Anyways -- been playing Guild Wars to keep me pre-occupied.  Wishing my baby boy could play.  Maybe his uncle can take him to a cyber cafe  that has the game installed.  We'll see....

I have kinda slacked on all my blogs..I'm a slacker.  I just got to get back to the routine of things.  It's weird not having anyone around to yell at or really talk to.  College kids are about, getting ready for stuff...so I haven't made any friends here. 

Yeah -- the apartment is quiet.  Kinda nice... but still miss the kiddos.

Lillie is talking more clearly now.  I can understand her.  Daniel said he was losing a tooth.  I'm gonna have to call and find out if he did.  Found out that my dad through away the Playboy mags...everything got redirected there.  Got to change that later, if I don't forget (sigh).  I have been Miss Forgetful lately.  I guess I'm stuck in my own little world...miserable.

Let's see...has there been any big news...nope.  Not really.  Talk about what a boring state of mind.  I don't chat much on the net.  To many PM's of can I cyber you.  PLEASE PPL -- like I'm into that....  pervs....

Well, I'm gonna read a book..try to settle down a bit...figure out what to do....I'll be busy later on next week..getting things straighten out for Andy.  He doesn't care what the place looks like but I do...something about coming home to a clean place is nice and relaxing...

Well out for now...

Im in Ohio right  now working with hubby.  Makes the days go faster.  I realized that in the past month I have traveled through 12 states!!  LOL!

I talk to my kiddo as much as I can.  Daniel had a good birthday.  Got what he wanted and that was good.  Apparently the kids and the rest of my family are having heatwaves.  My dad told me 119 was the high for the Inland Valley.  Thats like Mojave Desert weather!!  Unbelieveable but then again as I sit and watch the weather  channel, I'm noticing more and more unusual weather patterns.  Like Flordia-- Yeah it's hurricane season but getting alot of rain.   I don't ever recall having it rain that much through the summers when we lived there before and that Andy's mom has been getting alot of watches and warnings.  Andy said thats alot of activity and hasn't seen Michigan jumpin around like that.

Anyways -- I'm gonna go.  Just chill and relax for a bit.  Ya'll take care!!

you better have time...

 

This is gonna be one long blog.  So you better make sure u got ur cup of coffee and be ready to read.  This adventure was hell.

Friday— I posted most of everything to let everyone know I’m getting ready to leave.  Didn’t know when the satellite would come down for the internet.  I get a phone call from Andy stating that he’s at the airport, checked in.  COOOL!!!  Well he calls me back.  They can’t load the plane till the t-storm is settled.  No one can be on the tar mac when there are lightning strikes.  OK..  Then he calls me back a few hours later and says that they are boarding the plane.  COOL!!!  Then he calls me 2 hours later saying that they are still there, in Greensboro, with engine trouble.  Great…  Well, he had to stay overnight and couldn’t leave till Saturday.  BUMMER!!  But the bummer part on his side was that they had difficulty finding flights to Palm Springs on the weekend.  Including Ontario.  Only option to drive to Las Vegas which was 3 hours away.  So Friday was shot..

Saturday—finally gets a flight but won’t arrive till 1 am on Sunday morning.  Now mine you—we still have to pick up the u- haul.  So I get some sleep and patiently wait for Andy’s flight to arrive.

Sunday—he’s in.  We go home get some sleep, wake up get breakfast and grab the u-haul.  Come back and start packing up.  It’s hot and we are sweating like pigs.  We move the sofa in and BAM!!! There goes the toenail off my big toe.  Yep – moving the sofa ripped it off.  (Currently it still hurts)  So now I’m gimping along to get things done.  Are we finished?  Nope.  Still have the shed to do.  *sigh*

Monday – landlord comes.  Checks out the place.  Andy has to argue.  Errrrr.  The other guy that goes with the landlord to inspect the house goes “ALL the carpet needs to be replace.”  Doesn’t look in ALLL the rooms.  Just assumes and says everything needs to be replaced.  Go figure.  We get the rest of the house packed and then work on the shed.  We take one last shower in that house and off we go.  It’s 2 PM.  We are way over due.  We hit New Mexico by the end of the night.

Tuesday -- Made it and going to hit Texas.  We do and we find a motel to stay at to rest and shower.  Our new goal to hit Louisiana.  Doing pretty good.  A little fatique but doing good.

Wednesday – we hit Mississippi… totally cool to get past that.  Suppose to be in Florida by Thursday.  Well this is where it starts to go down hill some.  Andy gets cranky.  I noticed a sigh at the visitor center that said no overnight parking and 30 mins only.  Mentioning that Andy sent him into a childish fit.  “I’m tired.”  And I’m like so am I but we can’t stay.  So as he was throwing him mumbles around I gave him an ultimatium.  Either get a motel or drive till we hit something.  We’ll that sent him into more of a fit.  “I’ll just drive.”  He yells at me.  Well, lo and behold ¾ of a mile was a parking station you can stay.  Hmmm.  Another night sleeping in the truck.  (It’s very uncomfortable by the way)

Thursday – we hit all that we need to hit and we are in Florida.  Traffic is bad.  Apparently the are working on the bridges and had traffic backed up for 2 hours.  So we pull off to give our foot a rest.  4 more hours to go.. Hooray!!!

Well, we get here and get a room.  To humid to sleep in the truck.  Get showered and rest.

Friday—the day from absolute hell.  Our apartment is taken by another resident because they put the security deposit down first.  Bummer.  Well’ it’s okay.  It’s wasn’t that great anyways.  Talk about ghetto looking.  I would be afraid to leave my place.  So I call up in the papers, found one a mile away from University of Florida.  Get it..great.. issue now.  Wells Fargo fucked up!.  I have 1500 out in limbo.  We call the bank and they told us that they have to wait for the Federal Reserve to release the funds.  Now we won’t have any money till Thursday the 6^th. That’s when Andy gets paid.  So here we are…at a rest stop homeless.

So Saturday and today we are bored out of wits.  It’s gonna be like that till we get the funds.  And all we can do is sit out here in the humidity, half starved and wait for Wells Fucking Fargo.  Yeah upset.  Because I know they have the money cause it ain’t in my Navy Fed anymore.  So The trailblazer is out home.  Uncomfortable and all.  I stink.  And I’ll go as far as that.

So I will wait to see what happens and pray nothing else goes wrong.  It’s only Sunday….and I’m bored. Just writing my blog via word then it’s a copy and paste when I get settle into the new place. LOL.  Such a cheater!! Whoa! Better go, battery is running low.  I’ll be back to write some more on this bit.  (ur now gonna take a break lol)

Monday – Just kickin back still.  Sat through a t-storm yesterday.  Ahh if only Californians can see what a storm truly is.  Just nothing but massive rains.  It cool down some so we got to sit back and relax.  I’m thankful that I bought the DVD player for the car.  We just grab the box of movies and have been sitting down in the car watching them.  Nothing else better to do.  Stupid bank.  Stupid boss.  Ho hmmm.

Tuesday – HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!  Still here.  But something happen.  My best friend wrote my parents and gave them a contact number and I called.  Of course no answering machine but she called backed and she is gonna bail us for a bit.  Thank heavens.  Shower at least!  LOL  Jerry got out last night around 230 am and we had to stay up and call for him.  Luckily we got him.  Apparently they caught a 3 ft alligator here at the rest area.  So that tells u why we stayed up for him.  There are toads here too.  Too bad my kiddos aren’t here.  They would have a blast.  Well we missed the shuttle launch due to me talking on the phone.  Yeah u can see the firing line from here.  I’m glad the launch went well.  Well nothing else much.  Just sitting here in sweltering heat.  Well, humidity LOL.  And getting ate up by ants.  Damn I forgot that they hurt lol.  Anyways we should be in our new apartment by the end of the week.  At least I hope……

Wednesday and Thursday – still in the hotel.  Dog lock us out.  Yeah hit the dead bolt swing a thing a bob.  So we had op pry that open.  ERRRRR.  Having issues with Andy’s pay.  Was ready to throw a fit.  Apparently payroll said they weren’t going to pay for another 2 weeks.  Well, Andy got on the ball with his bosses and they paid him out of their paychecks.  Apparently MLC is not paying anyone.  They are skipping.  Apparently all the other guys got screwed too.  So we weren’t the only ones.  And someone at Wells Fargo finally knew what they were doing.  And got the funds released early.  Horray.  Tomorrow is the day.

Friday – We move into our apartment.  My calves hurt running up and down the stairs.  And on top of that an asthma attack.  Gonna have to find a FP to get refills.  Humidity and my chest don’t get along very well.  LOL.  We are gonna sleep in the hotel.  Just to let the mattress air out.

Saturday – have to drive to North Carolina to get Andy’s truck.  And he has to leave for Ohio for 5 weeks.  Then he comes down here to work.  Apparently there is 500,000 sites to be done.  So we will be here for a while.  Dog locked us out again in the Motel.  And I threw a fit.  These are key card and the night desk clerk was not helpful til I got on the phone with Motel 6.  She got the ball rolling when I wanted to complain.  And the manager magically appeared in 5 mins.  But he was a dork.  I knew that they had an override pad and it took him 30 mins to figure that out.  Stupid.  So we finally got in our room to sleep and get ready for another drive.

Sunday – left.  Got back to Florida and stopped in Tallahassee to see my best friend.  I stopped to see my grandparents grave when I was in North Carolina.  Stayed there for a bit.  Feels overwhelming.  Said my peace and took off.  When I got to Tallahassee my best friend and I stayed up till 5 am just talking.  Then we got up late afternoon and spent a little bit more time talking.  She had to go to work and I left to go home.

So today, I’m unpacking still trying to get a walk way going.  Doing a pretty good job.  I’ll probably won’t blog a s much for the rest of the week.  This unpacking and sorting is gonna take time.  But with all that hell, I need to get something positive going on.  It’s humid and dreading to go to the dumps.  Got to throw out trash boxes.  LOL.  Anyways, I’m okay and I’ll blog at u guys in a few days.  My love to ya!

I will say goodbye til hopefully the 5th of July....Which I will now wish everyone a HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!! And be safe!

Andy is coming home tonight...and we pack the uhual tomorrow..as for leaving either Sunday night or Monday..I will miss my family and my kids..but we are gonna try to get everything back on track.  To work on ourselves and to get things going to provide better things for our kiddos. 

We still have no clue what city yet.  Supposely Andy's current company is to contact him if not he will be calling a different company and they told him he will be working in Flordia...It's a little frustrating...moving time is just around the corner.

THe living room is done but thevaccum is clonk out..eerrrrr.  Dishes still need to be done, the trash taken out and 2 loads of laundry.  All to do tomorrow and Saturday.  Are we gonna have the house immuclate clean--nah.  With all the deposit and extra money our landlord should have enough and return some of the monies to us.  How much?  Well 3125 for deposit 900 extra for the dog charge and he raised the rent so 200 there...so with all what we figure out...he can take care of it.  But it will be clean to the best of our abilities...

I can't sleep...posted new jokes on myspace...loved the Little Johnny joke...

Talked to my kiddos yesterday and they should be up for the weekend to help and say goodbye.  It's gonna be a very hard weekend.....

Well, wish me the best.  I will blog about stuff when I get the net going...My love to u all....
