Update for today

I've been busy catching everything up. Finally got my grass cut last week. My neighbor helped with that. I was mowing with the push mower and he came over with his riding mower and cut it. That was a big help. John talked to the guy that wanted to buy his moms house today, dude must be smoking something. The house the way it is right now is worth $199,000 we dropped it to $189,000 for him. today he told JOhn he'd take it for $130,000. Hello knock-knock anybody in there??????????? So I guess John wont be home at the end of May now. I'm shopping around for another car. Once I get a decent car, I will be taking a trip to PA. I'm looking for a part time job now as well. I have been with Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing for a month and I need to have something to help out until I get set up. I still have Princess House, but people aren't buying much right now. I'm doing a vendor event this Saturday and will be selling (cash and carry) things I ordered but never used or used as gifts. I have to get some money up. Before you know it Christmas will be here. courtney is getting big and talking more. Potty trainning is a bit of an issuse for Kim. I told her to have courtney sit on the potty while watching tv or reading a book. when I have her, before she gets a bath she gets on the big potty and when she gets out she gets on it. I was doing that to help her get use to it and get her in a routine. But since she doesn't live we us anymore, there isn't much I can do to help. I also told her to try the pee colors trick Amy shared. I also told her that she can't rush her. Well, I'll try to post another blog tomorrow. Tuesdays are very busy for me. I hope to get some pics of the kids soon and put them on here. I'm beat and gonna head upstairs.

What a start to the week!

We haven't adjusted to the time change yet. Last week the kids were late to school 4 times. Today we got up at 8 and even though we left the house on time, they were still late as they decided to walk as slowly as they could into the school. I guess I'm going to have to set both alarms for 5:45am. The only day they weren't late both alarms were set for 5:45am. Chris has started with his teenage tude already. He does help me without a fight sometimes. Other times its like why do I have to????? I have informed him that I will be setting a time limit on the computer and if he wants extra time he has to earn it. I'm also going back to having a chart for the kids. I feel that they should be keeping their rooms clean. I also feel that there is no reason they can't help out around the house alittle bit either. I don't ask them to do much. They get paid for what they do. It stormed like crazy today. Pollen is everywhere and my allergies are acting up. I just took an allergy pill. I should have took it this morning. I started a myspace page yesterday and am keeping in touch with the rest of the family that has it. Everyone is shocked, b/c I would always say you are not getting on that in my house. I always heard bad things. But you have bad site everywhere. My husband doesn't know I did that yet. He will probably have a bird, but he will just have to understand why I have it. Well, dinner will be interesting tonight. I'm making sloppy joes and sometimes I get can't we have that tomorrow I want spaghetti. We had spaghetti several times in the past 2 weeks. John loves sloppy joes, but he aint here. He is still in PA taking care of his mom and trying to sell the house. She has finished PT and nurse visits are doone with now as well. Hopefully he will be home soon. We miss him and his silly self. We love you ya big goof ball!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update for today

Today for the 1st time, I was on myspace and decided to create a page after finding out that several members of my family have a page and thats how they all keep in contact. I will see how it goes, I have heard some bad things about myspace. But bad people are everywhere. The kids and I did alot of housework this weekend. Courtney was here for the weekend as well. It was nice to see her and spend time with her. I will get some pics posted soon. Its time for us to start getting ready for bed. Our bodies haven't adjusted to the time change yet. Which is strange b/c its usually the fall time change we have problems with, not spring.

lol, ok lets try this again

Lets see if this one works.
