Home Sweet Home

By
We were finally able to move back home today. After several hours of cleaning up our mess at my sister-in-law's house (how can things get so messy in just a couple of days?!), we moved the mess to our house. I'm now in the process of putting the junk away (and washing the dirty laundry) while listening to praise music (Newsboys) so I can keep a positive perspective, lol!

It will feel good to go to bed tonight knowing that termites are not slowly destroying the infrastructure of our home :)

Next, we are looking into new windows. One of our eleven windows opens and stays open. It will be nice to have functioning windows :) We might even install a patio door (fingers crossed!).

You are so funny! About the messes! Believe I can make a mess just as fast! About the windows, how about sealing the one shut and buying an air conditioner? :)

ONE WINDOW OPENS???? Just wait until I tell my fireman husband about this one. He will NEVER let you hear the end of it. We know a great window guy when you are ready. He did ours at this house.

no! no! don't tell him! please! we're going to get them taken care of very soon.

and maybe I didn't explain myself clearly. Most of the other windows open; you just have to prop them open, and some only open halfway.

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

By
No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Just another day ...

By
Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee...
