is all I can say about selling our rental. The numbers were done wrong going into the sale and we now have to go to closing with money. We have to PAY to get rid of the f-ing house. Not only should we have sold it when we were done remodeling it, we should have never got into it in the first place. Who would have known everyone saying "real estate is always a wise investment" was full of crap in the future we now live in. It was like flushing a big chunk of our time, money, savings, money, did I mention money and time? down the f-ing toilet. It kills me. Now we have started all over again, we got this gorgeous house but with nothing left, none of the money the past 2 houses have given us. It's like we're 24 again. Crappy. So, enough of my ranting and raving about that. I had to get on here and say it because it just causes me too much stress to talk to others, mainly because we owned the stupid house with family. Word to the wise-never do that either.
So, gotta get ready to go sign the papers, get rid of the money pit, and at least not have to dump any more of our money into it. I am so done!

hmm
So I'm thinking we need another economy stimulus check, or is it tax return time yet? Hmmm. I think once we get settled I'm going to post on craigslist for pt nanny again. However this time I would have it at my house. We'll see, I know in WS it would have got swooped up once again b/c there is little daycare options. I'm not sure how it is down here, but I'll try it anyway- I could use a little extra $ so I have less stress in my life :) I think I can handle one more little one now that mine are older and we have plenty of room for it. Hmm, sounds like a plan. Still have a ways to go though...lots of unpacking left to do!
I am really enjoying living close to JK. I know she's on mat leave and won't always be around during the days, but I am enjoying seeing her. In WS I never saw friends-only random moms at the park!
Okay TC is going to have to get dragged from his nap in the carseat, gotta go in and get AM from school...gosh where are the good old days where you could let your kid sleep in the car while you ran in?! Just kidding!

ahhh
Soooo happy. My house is a dream. It's perfect. It's everything I've always wanted. I think short of being a millionaire and buying any house in the world-this is my dream house. I wouldn't mind winning even a smaller amount of $ in a lottery so I could decorate it though....
But seriously, I LOVE IT!
We spent yesterday starting to unpack boxes, hang up clothes, and C put beds together, I washed bedding, kids got baths last night and in their cozy beds! C and I finally got showers late and into the guest room (our bed from old house), which now seems like the most comfortable bed in the world after 4 months of hideabed with springs in my leg, couches, and a mattress on the floor. Ahhhh. It was so nice! Our bedroom set gets delivered today, but we still have to get our mattress. A king size bed??? It's going to be like living in a hotel!
The dogs are doing pretty good, no more issues, they love outside, they (and we) love the extra room so it doesn't feel like they are at our feet constantly.
AM spent 95% of her day playing in the playroom in her princess dress up clothes baking daddy's birthday cake in her kitchen. TC runs around with a toy from here, a toy from there. The cable guy got the tv set up in the play/bonus room so they got to watch the Backyardigans and they were happy.
Funny I just realized I have internet and my computer set up in the next room and I forgot so I'm on my blackberry.
I have a ton to do today...wow. But I sat down with a cup of coffee and eneded up watching the last half hour of michael moore's sicko. Have you seen that? I was crying so hard. Go cuba! Their healthcare?! Amazing. And they were so nice to everyone...it really makes you wonder about our country, and not country as in the USA, as a patriotic wonderful place, but as I think maybe things are ran by greedy corporations in one way or another. I'd like to think things will change someday, especially as someone who had kidney stones zapped and I have a HUGE hospital bill that I have arranged payments on and still don't know how that's going to work out- can you imagine if something really bad happened to us, someone, anyone? And we have fairly good insurance! Horrible.
Anyway, I'm sure I'll be thinking about that movie now all day.
Off to unpack..

NEW HOUSE!
Okay so we're all moved in. We are nowhere near unpacked. After having stuff in storage for 4 months, living in a basement for 2 and then an apartment for 2, we had crap all over it seemed. We got it all in-about 12 hrs of moving since we didn't get a bunch of people- thank goodness Kasey (C's cousin) is always a wonderful strong helper! He told us we have to stay put now :) we are! No worries!
Anyway, Raven...oh Raven. The day before yesterday she got into the pantry at the apt (yes they have figured out how to open the pantry) and ate at least one whole box of dog bones. Seriously. She pooped. And then C took her out and she pooped again. In the morning she pooped 3 times! Then today we leave them at the apt for 6 hrs while we move some stuff. I go back and she pooped inside...then I take her out-dia-scooby. (You may wonder why I call it that, no clue, that's what c and I have nicknamed diah...I can't stand the word so maybe that's why). Anyway, then she does it again on the deck at the apt while we're loading everything from there. We get to our new house and c let's her outside, and then he has to leave. Why he doesn't leave her outside I have no clue- I was prepared to leave her out there all night until she is better and has had a bath. Of course C is a little more...loving?tolerant?a sucker? towards the dogs. So I have to put the kids to bed. I am upstairs for literally 15 minutes and the dogs are up there on and off for 13 of those minutes. I go downstairs and Raven dia-scoobied on my dining room carpet. Are you f-ing kidding me??? I put her @$$ outside and cleaned up while I swore lots. I surprised myself by letting her back in the house way sooner than I thought. I told her she better not move from her bed at all. And then I spent 20 minutes looking for the wine opener. I am now sitting here drinking a glass of wine and I'm happy. Luckily I bought myself a couple bath & body works candles and I lit one and it smells sooo good. Much better than stupid dogs and their crap.
So on facebook I said I hope I don't have to kill her...I didn't. I also decided to save the whole story for my friends that know all the blog details of my life.
Tomorrow is C's bday. Happy birthday hon! And tomorrow cable and internet are being hooked up so hopefully I can start posting pics again!
Oh and we probably will not be able to sleep on anything but a couch tonight...cannot wait until our house is put together! It's so beautiful!
Thanks for listening to me be imaptient for the past few months! Let me know if u wanna come visit!!!
