The Mall

Yesterday I was at the mall with the kids. We were there to buy sneakers and sandles. Our shopping was very fruitful and placed a dent in the wallet, but we walked out of there with 6 pairs of shoes. You can honestly say that they can resist a stride rite buy one get one half off sale.

However, we are sitting at the food court having a snack and I was nursing the baby when a young teenage couple walks by. I really paid them no attention until my 4 year old daughter said to me. Mommy look! I want an outfit just like that. Well, as soon as I saw what she was wearing I had to gasp. The young lady left NOTHING to the imagination. Her top appeared to be a size 3-6 month infant sized top. It started 2 inches above her nipples and ended 4 inches above her belly button. her skirt was well, small. It had to be an ultra low rise jean skirt that barely covered her fanny. I KNOW that I have underware that covered more than her skirt did. And NO I do not wear white granny panties!

As I pulled my jaw up off the floor I started thinking about how I was going to answer that. When I opened my mouth nothing I planned came out. What came out was, "OVER MY DEAD BODY ARE YOU LEAVING THE HOUSE DRESSED LIKE THAT EVER!" At that moment, it hit me. I have yet again inched closer and closer to being my mother.

Boobs

Yesterday I was in the bathtub. I decided to put the baby in the tub with me to give her a quick bath. So, Hannah comes in and asks me, "Mommy where are your breasts?" I said, "Hannah were are Mommy's breasts?" She points to my left one and said, "I see that one, but where is the other one?" I looked and at the position I was sitting my arm was across my chest covering my deflated breastfeeding boob. At the same time Hannah noticed where it was and stated, "Mommy there your other breast is. It is in your armpit!"

THANK YOU HANNAH!!!! Nice to know that you loved and adored these breasts for 17 months. Now you are going to insult them.

I saw THIS on the Chicago news 2 weekends ago. Of course this story is close to my heart as her Dr is also Gabe's dr. HERE is her website. I will be ordering bracelets for the girls once we move. I am just so impressed how a little girl who is 6 years old can be so motivated to do this. HERE is the other young lady's webpage. So, if you need bracelets or artwork, your dollars are going to a great reason. :)

"Homeschooling at its best"...

I guess that I must say that a lot. Yesterday while we were out and about as a family we stopped for lunch at a fast food place. I opted to have us just eat in the car since I had the baby and I was wearing a sweatshirt and there would be no discreetly nursing Miss Contortionist baby. So we are eating lunch watching a busy intersection. Gabe wanted me to throw extra fries to the "pretty birds". While I was doing this I noticed across the intersection that a car had smoke billowing out of it. Darren called 9 1 1 and reported it. Next thing I know Gabe yells, There are Flames shooting out of the car. So we watched the fire trucks come and the fire men spray the fire. Gabe then says, "Daddy, this is homeschooling at its best!" LOL Good Boy!

Hell hath froze over....

My husband, Mr I cannot attach wheels to the lawn mower, has fixed our leaking dishwasher. I am nothing short of shocked. This is the man, who right after we moved into this house, I changed the toilet seat. He came home from work and was searching inside and out for where I hid the toilet. He did not realize that you could just change the seat, not the entire toilet. LOL Props to you dear. Now get your arse to work and help me pack. 2 more weeks...

I am becoming my mother...

Today I took Hannah to see the ENT for her chronic "otitis media with effusions". Fluid behind her ear drums. Well, she was seeing a new Dr to the practice, "Dr Ryan". OMG! When Dr Ryan walked into the room the first thought that went thru my mind, "Oh My God! He is younger than I am!" Then I thought, "OMG He is hotter than Dr McDreamy!" Girls, this guy is young and HOT!

However, Hannah has to go back in a month and if she still has fluid behind her ear drums then she gets tubes. Possibly also her tonsils out. Her right tonsil is huge. So I go back to see the hot ENT 4/10. :D

I obviously did not remember the note to myself

Today the appraiser was coming to appraise the house. He was suppose to be here between 8-9am. My realtor ask him to come closer to 9 since we have 4 small children. He said he was going to leaving his office in a town 20 miles from here at 8am.

I get up, take my shower, dress my lower half, kick my husband out of the bed, make my bed, go into the kids room to make sure that they are making their beds, I go to the window and decide to open the shade, Please remember I stated that I had dressed my lower half...NOT my upper half... I open the shade and OH MY GOOD GRIEF.....Sitting IN my driveway at 7:50am is the appraiser. The saggy beastfed boobs are just THERE for all to see. HOLY CRAP! Off to the living room I run. I have left my shirt and bra on the table since I figured last night that I would have a little time. Of course, then the freaking door bell sounds as I stand in my living room with NO SHIRT ON. Throw my bra on, throw my shirt on answer the door.

He kindly points out that my shirt is on backwards. Around the same time our resident nudist Hannah comes out of the bedroom completely nude stating she wants to eat her breakfast without clothes on. He just looked at me like we were some sort of circus freaks.

Nice....

Note to self....Remember previous notes....

House House and more house...



I just had to share that picture. How can you just not smile.

Had the inspection on the house we are selling last night. All went well. We have nothing to repair or fix. The buyers are doing a FHA loan so we were told that the FHA inspectors nitpick things. But they found this house is great shape. Thank God! Thier appraiser comes tomorrow between 8-9am. Closing WILL be April 7th in the morning.

On the house we are buying, this is getting to be a PITA. We have been waiting for 2 weeks for title work. Our surveyor will be there tomorrow. The realtor for the relo company is an idiot. My realtor called today for title work on the Chamberlain property. Idiot realtor sent my realtor the title work on the sellers selling to the relo company. So the paperwork is not ready. NICE. So my realtor has had a "Nice little chat" with the other realtor about getting her crap together. Our realtor told the other realtor that we were ready to close whenever they were. Well, the sellers are not able to get a moving van until 3/27. So guess when we are closing. 3/31. *SIGH* THANK GOD we push back out closing with our buyers until 4/7.

Gabe decided that he wanted a spiderman bedroom. I was not overly impressed by that. I am not a big fan of the spiderman colors or bedding. However sunday we decided that since we were shopping (ALL 6of us) that we would let the kids pick out their bedding. Gabe saw spiderman bedding and that was that. We purchased that bedding and all was right in the world. We informed the excited little boy that he had to wait until we move into our new home to use his new bedding.

Monday we went to Home Depot with Gramma and Grampa. That is when Gabe realized that Spiderman was not his dream bedroom. He saw...BUZZ LIGHTYEAR. Those damned Disney paint samples. Well that was that. He HAD to have Buzz Lightyear. So, no big deal. I will just get online and order his bedding. Yeah right. Guess what bedding has been discontinued? Yep you are right. Buzz. So, off to ebay I go. OMG! Those people are nuts. I did end up buying bedding on ebay but I will not disclose how much I spent. I will just suffice to say that *I* would qualify for being one of THOSE nuts. This is how Gabe want's his room decorated. I am not sure how I will end up painting it, but I can see some blue in my future.

Note to self...

Fat woman wearing only panties and bra should not walk around house with blinds up on the windows. Especially when said fat woman has for sale sign out in front of her house. Cars tend to drive by slowly and look at house and see said fat lady with her back to the window. LARGE window. Fat Lady's son will then say, "Mommy there is a police car outside our window". Fat lady will scurry away from the window. Police car continues to drive past slowly.

Later Fat Lady will be loading her children into the car when a police car pulls into her driveway. Police Car contains County Deputy that Fat Lady went to highschool with. County Deputy says, "Fat Lady, what are you selling your house for?" Fat Lady replies and informs that we have an accepted offer hower county deputy can still call realtor and look at the house. County Deputy said, "Those are nice windows, you can see in your windows from the front yard. I saw you earlier." Fat lady just pretends that she does not hear County Deputy and gets children into the car.

All 42 inches

Tonight we had a birthday party for my brother. He turned 27. Well, I was telling my SIL that my husband found his penis extension. (AKA flat screen TV) I said, "He wanted the 55 inch one, however when he saw the 42 inch he decided that is what he wanted." SIL says, "Really? He is getting one?" I sort of looked at her funny and realized that she had no clue what I was talking about. To which then I started laughing very hard and could not stop. I nearly peed my pants. I had to say, "SIL do you realize 41 inches is nearly 4ft long." Then she started laughing and I had to explain that it was a TV. This would be the penile extension that he wanted.

We have BIG NEWS!!!


We bought a NEW HOUSE!!!! We close sometime this month. We are waiting on a location survey and title work. It is a 4 bedroom, 2.75 bath, 2400 sqft bi-level on 1 acre with a heated inground pool! We are so excited! The upstairs has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen w/ eat in dining room, and living room. The lower level has the utility room, 4th bedroom (playroom) my office and the rec room. The house is move in ready. There are a few things that I will be changing out. Bathroom light fixtures, diningroom light fixture and eventually 2 ceiling fans in the rec room. We are so very excited! We were not completely sold on the pool, but it will be nice to have the kids at my house and not at other kids houses. :)

Also, believe it or not, we put our house on the market Tuesday afternoon. We had our first showing Thursday at 5:50pm and they stayed until 6:23pm. No I was not here I was stalking my house. LOL However Friday Morning my realtor called me at 9:30am to tell me that she left a message for the other realtor to get feedback. Well, 9:45am we got the call that their realtor wanted to present their offer at 7:30pm that night. We ended up with one other showing before we had their offer accept. They loved the house but the wife was not sure that she wanted to live in a subdivision. Long story short, we accepted their money offer and counteroffered on closing dates. This morning we got a call that they accepted our counteroffer. Darren and I have decided to continue to show the house until the day of closing.
