oh what a week

So Friday I find out our house is probably not going to be ready until mid-October. Crap. We've been living in my brother's basement for a month and a half, still thought we had a month left, with this news we know we have to do something. We think about looking for a new house, we write a mean email, we go to Vegas. We get home, my mom told my brother not knowing we hadn't yet b/c we didn't know what we were doing yet, he doesn't seem excited with the news, he has no idea, I tell him we don't know what's going on yet. We decide to keep the house, send the email, and start an apt hunt. In the meantime, when we're in Vegas, my sisinlaw calls me frantic-she's 100x more in love with dogs than anyone else I know. Raven has a huge gash in her shoulder, no clue how it happened, vet bill $350. Speed to yesterday, another vet visit $75, speed to tomorrow- a 2nd surgery $500. A very depressed Lori returns things from the Nordstrom sale, including my new MJ purse...so sad. We put a pet deposit down on an apt in Puyallup, we are moving to a 2 bdrm apt on Sat! We will be paying rent, but will have space. We will have a bigger credit card balance, and a sewn up dog...again. Hope next week is better.

5 years of wedded bliss

I shouldn't laugh but anyone who has been married 5 yrs may agree with me that it's not all wedded bliss :) However, today is C and my 5 year anniversary. Crazy to think of the ups and downs, crazy to think we made it this long, cray to look at my two little angels (one of whom is screaming at me right now) and think it's only been 5 years and we are this much further. My dad told me there's a 7 year itch, a 14 year itch, and probably a 21 year itch, but he wasn't sure if you both hit them at the same time. Haha! Isn't that always the case? I found it amusing. Not to mention I feel like C and I were in a really good place before we moved out of our house and into my brother's basement...which has since put a huge burden on our shoulders, not to mention our marriage. However, we wait, impatiently, to move into our new big house, and I have faith we'll all be back to better than normal once again. So we are dropping the kids off at my parents so we can enjoy a nice dinner out tonight and my brother and Jenn are keeping the kids Sat/Sun so we can do 24hrs in Las Vegas. At least we have some fun in our near future! Happy Anniversary!

negligent still

I thought I had blogged since May- oh jeez! Well we're living with my brother, sis-in-law, and their 2 dogs...us, our 2 kids, and our 2 dogs. What a zoo! I have had a blast living w/Jenn-we have lots of fun and it's nice to have a somewhat daily conversation with a woman my age! Not just kids and dogs! Life of course has been crazy, we are living in a "studio" apt down here in the basement, which needless to say has not left C and I always on the greatest terms...I swear somedays I wonder where the divorce papers are! My kids are still adorable but I wonder sometimes how I survive the days...or nights. Wine may be the answer :) haha! Other than all that- I have become obsessed with Twilight. I want to fall in love with a vampire- which has also made me obsessively wonder about soulmates and if life is where it's meant to be. Of course then I remember how crazy love stories make me! Our house is supposed to be ready Aug 31st- I am hoping it is because some sort of normal life will be good again, although I know the kids and I will really miss Auntie Jenn! But AM starts preschool down in BL sept 15th, so that's really exciting! I also need to get some furniture for our big Empty house! Hopefully I can blog more now that I'm not reading every second I can about Edward :) ahhh, sweet dreams!
