quick update

The kids and I have been at my dad's since Monday night since we got the boot out of the house. The kids are enjoying seeing their grandpa although with his work schedule the way that it is we only get to spend about 3 1/2 hours with him a day. We have some fun plans for this weekend though so that'll be good. Plus Jason's coming out to see us and I'm anxious for that. I'm starting to miss him already. :)

I think I must be having some anxiety about the house project because I had a crazy dream last night about how the guys who come to do the lead test keep finding things that the workers messed up. lol It was one of those goofy dreams where I was in my house in the dream but it didn't look anything like our real house. Totally different kitchen and the room that was super messed up was one that we don't even have in our house. Gotta love the craziness of dreams.

I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do today to entertain the kids. They are getting a bit bored since there aren't any kids here in this neighborhood for them to play with. We went to the park on Tuesday and they ran around with some kids there. We'll probably go again today. But even that only holds their attention for so long. There are other fun things out here that we could go do but I don't want to spend a fortune paying to get into various things. We're thinking about going to the pool either today or tomorrow so that'll be good too. I figure I don't know anyone out here so who cares if they see my pale white flab? LOL

I forgot to add a couple scrapbook pages that I made a week or two ago so I'll add them today. One if of Jenevieve as a little thing and the other of Julia from Memorial Day weekend at Eagle Point Park. Both use my newest kit called Clara's Closet. :)

I talked to Jason last night and asked what all had been done to the house so far. He said that the garage door is on, the windows are all in and now they are starting to paint the trim around the windows. They are guessing that the lead test will happen on either Tues. or Wed. and if all goes well we'll be able to come home after that. Yay! As much as I love being here with Dad I also REALLY want to be home and back into the normal routine of things. The kids haven't been sleeping well here and therefore neither have I. Something that no one who has to deal with me wants to have happen. I'm quite the bear! I'm just looking forward to get our house put back together and hopefully make it look nice for once. I feel a major purge coming on. Lots and lots of stuff is destined for the garbage.

Well, that's about it for now. If I think of something else I'll post it. Have a great day!

p.s. Found a couple more layouts that I hadn't shared yet. The orange/yellow/green one uses Brenda Kempf's Sherbert a la Bling kit. And the top one is a picture of grandma Notz's 8th grade graduation using a kit by Angela Sharrow.
