TGITN??
(Thank gawd it’s Thursday Night) Which means tomorrow is Friday. This week seems to have taken on an unnatural and tiring life of it’s own and I for one am looking forward to the weekend.
I think the house painting will be done tomorrow too — so that will be nice. The painters are nice and all but I don’t like having people lurking around the house all day. I was a little worried about my color choices at first but now that it’s more of a finished product I think I am happy with it. I’m guessing that all of my neighbors with their drab light blue, tan, or brown perfect vinyl siding are probably cringing at the very sunny yellow paint job. Oh well – too bad for them!
So the roof is done and the paint will be done. They just need to finish the gutters, the broken window and the deck steps. Everything should be in order for my Labor Day picnic. Woohoo!
I got my newish 2010 Kia Sedona on Monday night. A steal of a deal. Still working on the the paperwork with the credit union. I have to say I love my credit union – they let me get the car and they pay the dealer and I haven’t even signed loan papers yet! They are awesome!
I did decide to turn the twinnies car seats around. There were 3 requirements:
- Over 22 pounds – CHECK
- Over 1 year old – CHECK
- Over 34 inches – FAIL — but all my kids are short, I’m short… I find this rule insulting!
Ellie and Marcus LOVE it! They can see Mom & Dad in the front of the car, they can see out the windows and they have way more leg room! I actually feel like the seats are locked in better than they were when they were rear-facing. So, I think it’s all good!
Progressive is not awesome. They are being dicks about paying my GAP policy. So… guess what? (Chicken butt!) They are cancelled! Switched my auto insurance to the same company doing my house insurance (Allstate). Not really any cheaper but it’s the principal of the thing. Too bad cause I really like Flo.
2 minutes to the new episode of Futurama – so that’s all for now folks!

Hey there!
2 weeks in
We have now been here for 2 weeks and I still don’t feel settled in. Still alot of unpacking to do. We did get the shelves up today so I’ve started unpacking books – but I didn’t get very far. I unpacked\put away the boxes that were in the bedroom.
I tried to move a bookshelf from the garage into the living room but it wasn’t meant to be. I got the stupid thing all the way upstairs and then tripped and fell. The bookshelf fell apart landing on my back and one of the shelves landed on my head. A nail cut my arm. I took a beating but the bookshelf definitely lost as it is now laying in peices outside. It scared the twins and they cried for 15 minutes- then I decided it was time to take a coffee break. So we went into town for coffee (and milk). That made everyone feel better.
Back at work for a week after being off a week. I think I’m mostly caught up. Much of my stuff right now is drawn out so that it’s hard to get behind on it but it’s sometimes easy to forget about it! I try to go down my list every Monday morning and Friday afternoon just to see where I’m at with everything. Seems to be a pretty good system for me and it keeps the boss happy so that’s what matters.
Austin starts summer school tomorrow and summer band practice next week. He said he’s nervous but I think it will good for him to meet some of his classmates in a more relaxed atmosphere. He’s taking Tae Kwon Do, Guitar, and a class called Castles & Catapults. It will also give him a chance to get to know the school he’ll be in come fall.
I’ve decided I don’t care for the arrangement of my desks and computers but I haven’t decided yet on a better way to put everything. Definitely a to-do on my very long list of things to get done this summer.
I found a neighbor kid with a riding mower to cut the lawn today too. That was a big bonus because I haven’t been able to find any cheap used mowers and Austin & Jonny were being lazy with the pushmower and weed whacker. Hopefully the lawn will be cut tomorrow — if it doesn’t rain again.
Speaking of rain, I’m happy to report that thus far I’ve found no leaks. Considering all the other repairs that need to be done this is a real win!
Anyhoo…. I still don’tthink I can go to sleep but that’s about all there is to say at the moment. Everyone is sleeping like little angel-butts. Wish I was!
Goodnight, world!

Officially moved
The big move started last week Friday but of course you’re not officially moved until you’re back in touch with the rest of the world and that finally happened today!
May 1st – May 27th — packing, packing, packing
Friday, May 28 — packing the kitchen & bathrooms and the other last minute items & rooms.
Saturday, May 29th –Two 26 foot U-haul trucks, two minivans, my Dad’s truck & Joe’s car loaded driven 3 hours then unloaded! About a 14 hour day for those of us on both ends of the trip. Thanks to everyone who helped it was very much appreciated!!
Sunday, May 30th — Unpacking & moving things & more unpacking & trying to find things. I still can’t find the can opener!
Monday, May 31st — Back to Wausau to clean the house and turn over the keys.
Tuesday, June 1st til now (and probably for weeks to come) — Unpacking, organizing,tryingto find things, moving furniture around. Still haven’t found the box with my silverware in it!
Thursday, June 3rd — Finally got back online and got TV (no more watching the same Nick Jr DVD over and over).
There’s still a ton of stuff to unpack & put away. Lots of organizing and repairs to do. It will certainly be weeks (to months) before there is some sense of being done. But, we have the basics in order, bedrooms are setup, kitchen is usable, bathrooms are good, TV & internet are live and my office is functional; so we’ve got what’s needed until we sort the rest out.
I’m hoping things will start to feel normal again next week when I return to work but I suppose that may take a while too. Anyhow, that’s all for now. It’s time for some much needed relaxation then a shower & bedtime!
Good-night all!
