Open House Day

Well we survived the open house. Yeah! I wanted to update this a little bit. I don't think anyone reads it but me but that is okay. We had about 30 people at the open house. It went well. In the move i can't find the batteries to my camera so of course didn't take any pictures. Oh well, I am not going to worry about it at this point. Cameron is bouncing off the walls. I better get him into bed.

March

I keep forgettting to take the camera out to the farm so I can update pictures. That is the goal for this weekend. So far we have got the following done:
New roof with skylights on 3 sides
2nd floor bathroom is done with a beatiful white hexagon tile with hunter green pattern in it and white subway tile halfway up the wall and then hunter green to match the green in the floor. The refinished claw foot tub is in with the new faucets that look old. The toilet, wall sink and medicine cupboard (original to the house) are also in. The toilet even works> yeahaw! On the mainfloor, Tom has finished the tiling in the main floor bathroom and the enclosed back porch. I helped seal the tile so Tom can't say I haven't been doing anything. Tom installed the cove heater on the back porch tonight. The mainfloor bathroom is painted a dull green. The back porch is painted a dark tan. I really like it. It is slowly coming along. Genna is helping Michelle paint some of the rentals while on spring break this week and will be home tomorrow. She is taking Michelle and Lyndsay to Lincoln for Tylers soccer game and then coming on home. Hallie worked tonight and is planning on going to Lincoln tomorrow with Natasha K. to visit friends. Brie is sleeping on the couch after a hard soccer practice. She starts as goalie on junior varsity and then suits up as back up goalie for the varsity team. We are very proud of her as she has never played soccer before this year. Jaci has a friend over and they are making fudge. The boys are watching tv as usual. All the kids are off school Thursday and Friday. I am looking into going to Mexico to have a lap band placed for weight loss surgery. I am praying for God's guidance if that is what I need to do. Our insurance won't cover surgery so this seems to be the best option. Gotta to to Lincoln tomorrow for work for a conference on critical infrastructure. Gotta go to bed.

Monday

It's monday-need I say more! Hallie's opinion is if it isn't going to snow enough to call off school then it shouldn't snow at all and I have to admit I am agreeing with her at this point. We have had snow flurries off and on for the last 24 hours and it is really getting old. I have to drive to Wahoo tomorrow to work in the Three Rivers Public Health Department's Saunder County clinic and I sure hope the roads are okay. Time for bed.

Happy New Year! Don't know if anyone reads this or not but I am going to type anyway. Maybe it will be cathartic and help me resolve all my internalized anger etc, etc. Sounded pretty smart didn't I? Kids are fine as far as I know. I am in Wahoo today. Brie paid for a movie off the cable so it sounded like things were set. I left a roast in the crock pot so hopefully someone will make roast beef sandwiches with the leftover hoagie buns that I didn't need when I made Apple Bread Pudding last week that no one would eat but me but I thought it was really good. Just not as good when you have to eat the whole 9 X 13 pan. Yehaw. It is supposed to get up to 45 degrees this weekend and I am really looking forward too it. It seems like I only get thawed out once a day when I go slide under my heating blanket. We attended the Evangelical Free Church on Sunday. Told the kids it is our church adventure-hopping around to see if one fits. We shall see. No negatives so probably will try it again. This week sure feels messed up. I feel like it is Monday and then have to remember it is Wednesday and a whole new year. I will be writing 2007 for a couple of months I am sure. I am hoping to get some pictures from Hallie from Christmas to upload. We will see-I wouldn't hold my breath unless oxygen is handy.

New pictures I am trying to upload. It worked. Here are the kids!

Saturday October 27, 2007

I am sitting inmy Development of Christian Thought class. Trying to listen and take notes at the same time. I am extremely deficit in writing in this blog. The latest on the house is that we have a new green steel roof with 3 sky lights in. I started cleaning the attic up and got about half done. I was so tired. It is a really big room now that the chimney is down. Grandma came and saw the 1st and 2nd floors. I was so glad she got to be there. I think she should be at Aunt Carol's this weekend. Not sure. Not sure when she is coming back either. Well gotta go.

Work

I am on hold with an insurance company-5 minutes and counting, so decided I would just blog. Then they hung up on me. Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Okay I am done swearing and will now type again. I just hope I get to talk to a live person sometime. Okay back to work.
