How long must we wait?

That is the question of the day. How long must we wait for warmer weather to be here for good, how long must we wait for the gas prices to go down and stay down for, lets say, years???? lolol

WE had nice weather for a few days but it has gotten just a tad bit cooler again. I see next week there are a few days of highs around 45, to cold for me. Now I realize that is it still March and here in Mi we have had snow the first of April before. But come on, I'm so over this winter now, lets move on.

The gas prices are another thing that have made me so very mad this week. I'm sure I'm not alone at all on this one. But how on earth can this be right? We went from 2.45 to 2.55 and then 2 days later we went to 2.75. How can that not be a rip off, 30 cent in less then a week???? That is why this body is home bound. Why waste the gas. I will run up town today for some groceries, it is a little higher in price but cheaper then the gas I would waste to go to my normal store. Mail to send out and bank to see.

So those are my boring days. Been under the weather it seems for weeks now, feeling a cold might be start back up again. Sinus' are going crazy with the up and down temps. Either it will stay just a sinus problem or move on to a cold. The waiting game begins.

I know

I know it has been awhile since I wrote a thing on here. I haven't been feeling all that great in the last week or so.

We didn't do anything on the downstairs this past weekend because we went out to dinner for D's birthday instead, plus it was Nicole's boyfriends birthday. His is the 25th of March and D's is the 26th of March. Right now the wiring is the next step downstairs. We also went and got our taxes done, so as soon as that comes then some of the work will begin.

We have had some really nice days the last few days. Yesterday was beautiful, 73 and sunny, but the wind was really blowing. Today is a bit cooler, but sunny out and suppose to be a high of 68, so we will see if it gets there or not.

The Weekend of the 17th of March

Saturday morning we get up, sit around figuring out what we are going to work on for the weekend. We decided on getting the rest of the drywall off the ceiling and walls in the kitchen. My kitchen and living room is one open room with a high island in the middle. So really you couldn't just stop with the living room...lol. We did not take the drywall off the the wall that leads out to my laundry room. That took most of the day. I tell you what, my trash guys are not going to like us for the next 3 weeks. We still have to do the dinning room which is off my kitchen. That has some wiring that we want to rework in there also. We went to Home Depot and picked up some insulation, pizza (lol), dog food and back to home. We did get some of the insulation up Sat. night but the rest went up Sunday. Which of course I didn't do any of that. I'm not touching that pink stuff and then itch the rest of the day....lolol. When it comes time where is will be put in for good, I'll go around and staple it up...lol.

Sunday was race day, but I pretty much slept through most of the race. I didn't get a good nights sleep Sat. night. I was having some pain in my left arm/shoulder blade that was leaving my arm, neck and left side of my face kind of a numb/tingle feeling. I think I pinched a nerve or something. I had problems with it last week also. So, I guess if that continues I'll have to head to the drs. Its ok today, still feel some of it yet.

This morning I woke up to snow on the ground and it's still snowing. Hello, it can leave now....lol. I'm sure it won't stay but it never had to come in the first place...lol. I'm so ready for Spring. I see buds are starting to come out, my flowers are poking their little heads out now, I don't want to see any snow. I'm so done with that...lol

This week I have nails to pull out of ceiling and walls, maybe dust the furniture now that the removal of drywall is done for a bit.

Up up and away!!

I really didn't do much in the form of moving around yesterday, but I did get the one thing that I've been needing to get out of the way and that is my airline ticket to FL. I fly out on May 17th and will be driving back home on May 30th, (my anniversary...lol). That's the date we drive out of the driveway and since I do most of the driving I will take 3 days which pulls us into the rented apt. on June 1st. Oh, so this makes more since to everyone that doesn't already know, I drive my 70ish year old aunt back to Mi for the summer, then drive her back to FL and fly back home. Nice little vacation for me.

I did pull out some more nails in the 2x4's in the living room, picked up a few things and called it a day. Worked on my almost the end of the doily thread doily...lol.

This morning was suppose to be a morning of everyone getting the chance to sleep in here. No school for D and Nicole didn't have to work, but our dumb dog outside decided that wasn't going to happen here. I'm not even sure how early he started barking, I know it was before 6am, I woke up to Nicole yelling at him. It hasn't stopped the dumb dog from barking at what ever he is looking at across the street. Which of course I don't see a thing. Dumb dogs!!

A Shock in the Ceiling

When we were taking down the ceiling in the living room we found this paper hornets nest above the drywall. There was this tiny hole to the outside of the house and they were getting in from there. It was an old nest and fell a part when you touched it. Go take a look, its kind of neat looking. Picture

My Weekend

I'm not even sure where to beginning on my whole weekend. It was long, busy, back breaking work. Got up sat. morning and started taking down the drywall off the ceiling in the living room and ended up taken off all the drywall in the whole room, ceiling and walls. First there was half of a drop ceiling and paneling on the walls. The mess, the dust was everywhere. After taking off the paneling and drywall on one of the outside walls we seen that when they built the house in the early 60's they never even put up any insulation. The part that took the longest I think is picking up the broken drywall and putting them in bags, vacuuming. You couldn't place much in each bag or it would be to heavy for the trash man to pick up today. We only put out about 20 bags and have about another 20 more to go out next week. Part of the ceiling is down in my kitchen (all open room), but for now we want to get more of the living room done. DH plans on doing some rewiring and putting in a new window before we insulate and drywall. I still have nails to pull out this week but that won't take long. I woke up Sunday morning to my body just hurting...lol and this morning about all my muscles hurt, I think I need some good drugs...lol. I will not be pulling out any nails today....lol I will post a picture another time when there is more light in the dark living room. Its cloudy and rainy outside today.

It was weird seeing it still light outside at 7-8pm last night, I can't wait till it is light out earlier in the morning as well. I didn't sleep worth beans Sat. night for some reason, but last night was much better. Only woke up a few times from cats trying to play with each other, of course on my bed....lol or one just wanting some loving time. Then, just when I get back to sleep, the phone rings....people just leave me alone for once...lol Today will just be a few loads of laundry and that's it.

So, I blog again...lol

I decided that I was going to blog again today. This is for me, my thoughts, things I want to remember. I'm not liking me to much today. I'm feeling so very fat now. I tried on my shorts that I have been wearing the last 2 summers. I can no longer get them on. I'm beginning to look like I'm PG...lolololol and THAT ISN'T HAPPENING. I sometimes feel I liked me so much better when I was smoking, at least I was thinner. I guess I'm feeling depressed today, I'm fat, I'm tired of winter and I just need a break away from all the comings and going in this house. Maybe all the months of DH being gone all week long and only home on the weekends is catching up to me.

My sweet kitty cat decided to be a little brat tonight. He decided from what I can tell as the first time since he was a kitten sprayed all over my entertainment center. I think it has something to do with Chris' unfixed male cat in my house. Munchkin is almost 5 years old and hasn't done this since he was like 7 months old. So this upset me tonight.

Chris called tonight from his apt. stating that the landlord posted a note on his door saying he was late on his rent. Now why on earth is this man asking for rent since Chris hasn't been able to live in his apt since the first of Feb???? That's when a water pipe broke in the bathroom and it still isn't all fixed yet. Like his toilet is still sitting next to his bath tub, not even where it goes. He doesn't even have a floor in there or the kitchen, just a sub floor and this man wants rent money????? I told Chris to take lots of pictures of the way it looks. Chris is writing the man a letter and putting it on his door. The landlord lives below him in this house. But Chris wanted to know that if he gets kicked out if he can bring all his stuff here for a few weeks. Great, what can I say???? Thank goodness Chris works out of town with DH all week. I just couldn't take him living here every day any longer. That's a sad thought isn't it? Can't handle having your own child around all the time. But its always a lot of fighting when all the kids are together.

Why Blog??

So, I ask what few people read my blog, why blog??? I have nothing new to say, my life is rather boring in the winter time. I don't go anywhere if I can help it. My daily activities range from: Picking up the house, cleaning, computer, tv, doilies, kids, dinners.....lolol What's there to tell??? Oh, I had a fine headache, listen to the kids fight with each other, maybe add a dog in there barking??? So, I guess if there is nothing to blog, there will be nothing to read also.

Where's the Snow

Yesterday I took off to go shopping thinking I just might get snowed in. Last I had heard we were suppose to get up to 6 inches of snow. Now my driveway is an uphill to the road and sometimes making it hard to get on the road. So off shopping I went. After getting home and put my little bit of groceries away I retrieved to the computer room for a bit, then off to watch my afternoon shows.

D came home from school in a very good mood today, which was very nice. We talked for awhile then he went downstairs to do his normal things. Feed and water the dogs and lay on the sofa to watch tv.

As I watched my show I realized I watched some of them through my eyelids....lol I had a headache but other then that I felt better.

The snow did start but was little tiny snowflakes. When I got up this morning I look out to make sure Nicole was gone, she had a dentist appt. I'm thinking, where's the snow???? I think we maybe got like 2 inches...lolol. Guess I didn't have to leave yesterday to shop for anything...lol

Not sure what I'm going to do today as of yet.

Hello

Yesterday my DH, D and I went to the movies to see Wild Hogs. It was a funny movie. Nice to get out for a bit. After the movie went to my parents house, but didn't get to stay long. Got a phone call from a friend that was on his way over to our house to drop off one of our picnic tables. See, we are never gone so he didn't figure he needed to call...lolol. So the rest of the day I watched more movies and worked on more doilies. I got a big big thing of thread for the doilies and I just keep making more until all the thread is gone....lol

Today, I've only worked on laundry and picked up the weekend mess. I have to say I didn't need to do anything in the kitchen. My dh had it all done this morning before he went to work. Must have had some extra time on his hands...lol.

That about sums up my day so far, oh how boring...lol

Lazy Day!!

I pretty much spent my day being lazy. I was on the computer for awhile, then off to work on a doily while watching a movie. Well 1 movie turned into like 3 movies on the lifetime channel....lolol. That's how lazy my day was.

DH went to Home Depot today and ended up buying me a new toy to play with. An electric stapler/nail gun...lol. Nice, but I could think of other toys I'd like to have instead...lol. But it will come in handy. Is he trying to put me to work??? Take the load off his shoulders??? lolol

I'm Still Alive

What a mixed up day we have had today. I woke up to a snow storm, dropping a ton of snow. Slowly the snow stopped but I knew a bigger mess was coming. It is finally here now. It stopped snowing and then slowly we went to freezing rain. Now it is raining heavy with thunder and lightening to go with it....lol. Crazy weather and to think Spring is only about 3 weeks away....lol

Nothing more to report. Just dealing with the normal day in and day out life of a stay at home mom. Still dealing with my daily headaches, some days worse then others and lately they have all been kind of bad. Dealing with one of my pills not working right and bothering me. Other then that, that's about it.
