This is the bathtowels for the guest bathroom.
This is my tub. I had the candles that you see in the kitchen around my tub. My DH didn't like the way they looked. So, I moved them to the kitchen. He likes them in there better.
This is the master shower. Its nicely sized.

I think any of us could relate. Give some virtual hugs..

Waiting but not to exhale

Here is the pancake mix we use to make pancakes. We decided after a stressful week it was time to have something yummy for breakfast. Plus, no one was going to be charging through our doors to help unpack or give orders on how to unpack. Here are the blueberries that we got for $1.00 a pint on sale at fresh and easy but priced matched it at Wal-mart to get more bang for my buck.

Here is the pancake mixed up and blueberries added to make a yummy breakfast treat. The girls could not wait for me to finish cooking. They kept asking when all the pancakes would be done. Well, it took an entire hour between mixing and cooking to have delicious pancakes for breakfast.

Here are our finished pancakes that we ate happily and contently around 9:30 or 10 am. Heheee, we had some much fun enjoy our tranquil first breakfast together.

Today we are waiting on the cable people to arrive. They are suppose "drop" a line from the attic into our formal living area (previously photographed and posted on this blog). To which they have 55 minutes remaining to get their tails here and do their stuff or else they won't show up at all. We thought we heard a knock earlier. We made a mad dash toward the door. No one their. A cruel trick played by our oldest. Needless, to say the child got a talking to from the child's father.

Today more "mountains" of laundry because we have gone through all the "bags" of stored winter clothes. Not to mention moving some boxes around in the master closet to make room for the remaining scrapbook items. My DH really wants me to sell a lot of it. I don't want to until I finish their traditional scrapbooks from a few years ago.

Friday..the after shock..

hasn't hit yet. I know its coming from my husband, however, I just will listen to it.

Today we picked up the van. Today was the day my husband came to a realization that we should have replaced the van before we bought a house when we first told him about it. Now, if I only knew a good mechanic that needed a fixer up. Then at christmas time he could buy my vechile. Then my DH could buy me another one. My oldest said, "Why don't we ask Santa for a new vechile. Instead of looking under the tree we could go outside and find the present." Now, if Santa could deliver a new vechile this would be great. New as in a better used vechile than this one. I can't complain. This 2001 vechile has been to Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, and now to the desert state we live in. This vechile has be 4 x 4ing when it should not have and sufferred. This vechile has had multiple motion sickness incidents and doesn't seem like a hospital biohazard gone wrong. My kids have grown from babies to children with this van. I can't complain it is a good vechile. It just needs someone that can give better loving care to the mechical side than we can. If Santa is real and reads blogs, I would like a truck, suv, or jeep that fits seven people comfortably. I'd like mircofiber seat covers, because kids will be kids making messes with trying. I'd like a cd player or a way to hook up the cell phone /ipod to listen to music, a built in tv with an ability to hook up a movie for trips longer than 3o minutes, and over all runs better than my current vechile with extremely good gas mileage. With that said, I will probably be getting another mini van. Oh Santa BAby, a Honda Oddessy would be nice with folding seats, and hidded cargo departments for long trips or just running to grocery store.

Today more sorting through bags of clothes that my kids probably won't or can't wear even though my inlaws insteaded we save, and move them twice. I know depressing!!!

To my reader named, Erica. Thank you, so, much! Your comments made me feel so much better. I thought I might be losing my mind to feel the way I do. Hugs back at you. I hope that your situation will come around a little. I know the frustration of being sick and people ignoring that fact or refusing to allow you to rest any. Hugs again..feel free to contact me any time for encouragement.

Oh, I found the perfect job at my kids school. Its two hours a day and I get to spy on them to make sure they are minding. I am waiting for a reply back from the hiring agent for it.

Thursday unsettling peace....

Okay, my vechile is at the shop still. My fil thought it needs a tune up. I have a feeling that the timing belt needs to be changed now. The vechile is still at the shop. they want to make sure that the problem doesn't reoccur again.

Now, for the vocolano of news.. (has been removed )

Today is just go through the BAGS of laundry that was in storage, sort, try on, wash, dry, and do the pile or hang thing. Not to mention the ton of cooking, and cleaning we have to do!

I got a message that a blog site I was following was hacked. That all servers and other items at the site were unavailable. Did anyone else get that ? I have no idea what site it is. Everything is off line.

To top it off, after a three months of packs when I lived in Mississippi and begging to throw some very dated and worn out christmas decorations out they threw them out. What has me so upset is that we paid over a $1,000 between two moves to move junk. What a waste of money!!

Now, I am forever the black sheep of this in law family just like I am the black sheep in my own family. Have a question for all of you? Is it so wrong to be have intrigity, independency, and your own self style? I don't think so. I think its how we are all suppose to be different and unique including the way we do things in our houses.

Thank you Michelle Underwood for your freebie. I appreciate it.

WEdnesday..wacky mechicals

Remember last night, when I said, I need to leave the digital chat early to go get drinks for my household. I didn't even make it out of the garage. It wasn't for the lack of trying. I grab my purse, cellphone, and keys. Made sure my DH had both girls withing in eye shot for safety reason. I walked out the door of the garage, raised the door, openned the door to the vechile, closed said door, put key in ignition, and then it sounded like a rollercoaster ride gone wrong. Almost like an animal had gotten in the engine blocking the darn thing from turning over. Oh, it turns on but refuses to work properly.

So, I sasha back into the house (like a proper southern bell), promptly but nicely ask if I can drive DH's car. I get this dumb found look like to ask why. Then I tell him my vechile won't start. I can't go get anything from the store for him. I don't mind the quick errand to wal-greens but I'm not able to use my vechile.

So, from his not so put together office, he stomps outside yanking the keys from me, and I am pretty sure he is mutterings some not, so, nice words about karma and such. Then same thing happens to him. He was like...let my dad know. So, I text his parents the news. I am glad I was not there for the reaction their faces. The text back that it probably needs a tune up. I thought we had a tune up done with the thing had its transmission replaced last year. Hm.m..m...

On top of that..we have lost the withdrawl forms for the kids. We need that to enroll them in school. I have been emailing the old school and the new school trying to arrange a fax confrence, so, I don't have to drive with DH back to our old town and then to the district office to enroll the kids.

Can you say, a totally frustrating day. The only postive we have for yesterday is we found matress covers for all the kids new matresses and ours. Then his parents found the new sheets and blankets for the kids. I refuse to buy themed items. They grow out them so fast. Color and patterns only.

Tuesday Migrane

This is my kitchen. Do you see how tall the top of cabinets are .I like the center piece but the one to side of it..just doesn't work for me. I will be looking for some more tall stuff.

This is the entry way decorations so far. We had all this in our old house in Mississippi. It looks great here. The other side is just a blank wall so far..haven't found anything for yet.

This is the back part of the wall in the formal living area for visiting with adults. We had all this in our old house in Mississippi on a mantle with a fireplace. The chandler is coming down and a ceiling fan is going up in its place.

This is what we spent money on bedside the kids bedroom furniture. Its very comfortable and relaxing..
We are missing a television but that will come in time.

Today I have a migrane. Today i feel like a sinus infections is coming one hard and strong. Today it looks like rain and feels like rain. Though it rained last night really lightly.
