Being a slacker....

yes, that is what I'm being.

I should be packing more of our crap so we can get it into a storage unit.

I thought I should do a little post to let everyone know our plans....

First off....

No, we don't have another house. Yet.

We are going to stay with the in-laws till the loan is approved and we find a house etc... this will be really nice cause Goober will still go to the same school and still be able to ride a bus there. I actually think it may be that SAME bus :) I have to check though. It IS only about 4 blocks south of our house now.

Second....

We are still going to go to church at the same bat place and the same bat time... don't want to mess with the kids normal stuff any more than I have to. I really don't want to deal with potty training recession and bad grades in school.

Third....

I really don't want to loose contacts with the wonderful people that we have met while living here. I totally adore them. Playgroup is a highlight for my kids when we make it... and a highlight for me when my the Energizer Bunny isn't uber cranky because it's his normal nap time. I ADORE girls nights out and book club. Just cause I may not end up in the 'hood doesn't mean I wouldn't take a 20-30 min drive across town to see you great people!

Fourth...

we will still have our same phone number. It will be on voice mail for a while, but I will TOTALLY check it DAILY. Probably multiple times... cause I'm nuts like that. And for those of you who know my last name... those in-laws I'm staying with. SAME LAST NAME. And they are the ONLY other ones in our phone book. Look it up if you want to. I would love to hear from ya!

That's it till the next "I'm a lazy butt" or "I'm WAAAYYYY out of shape" break.

Tata, must get movin!

Going Once.... Going Twice....

SOLD!!!!!!

Welp... we sold our house. We are supposed to be out by

Nov 5th.

Ok, what gives!?

Ok, here's something I noticed the other day... in our culdesac alone we have 4 houses up for sale. I even took a picture of it... I circles the "for sale" signs so you would be able to find them easier.

Now notice the mailbox with the blue arrow? That is a lone home not for sale in the midst of all this... OK Tandee! What Gives!? :) either your house has major B.O. that is driving the neighbors away or it's time to put up a sign.... any sign. I think it's time for a sign.... A "Not for sale" sign would be downright hilarious. :)

Holy Unbaby Proofed House Batman!!

OK, so honestly I was hoping it wouldn't get to this...



I was HOPING that our house would sell before I was forced to baby proof everything. It HAS been for sale since last November... of course the fact that are first realtor did diddly squat doesn't help.

Anywho, What would you do? If I put a baby gate at the top of the stairs again I have to drill holes up there... again... after I repaired the holes and damage from the last time we had a baby gate there... and when people come to look at the house it would be a serious obstacle!

As far as the CD's go... apparently I have an easy fix for that one... it's called shutting the office door. Unfortunately that would entail me staying out of the office too, to monitor how much my chillins injure themselves and their siblings. Mmmm.

Bleeding noses, snarky kids, and realtors!

So, today has been one of THOSE days.

L woke up at 6:30am again... bad time for him to wake up, makes it hard for me to get a shower before getting G and M up. Oh well, I can handle that. So as I'm feeding him my nose decides it's going to put in it's two cents (or sense ... haha I'm so punny! :P ) and decides to start bleeding.... and not just a little bit. Out the window goes my chance for a shower before getting up the older kids.

As I'm getting the two older kids ready for the day, G informs me that he doesn't want to go to preschool today. "sorry bud, Your job is to go to preschool, Mine is to keep the house running, Daddy's is to go to work, M's is to learn to use the potty, and L's is to grow and be healthy."

M had an accident (icky) at Gma S's house while G was at preschool. At least L got a good nap there.

On the way to pick up G from Preschool My lovely bloody nose decides to make another cameo appearance... :P

Gma decided to take us to lunch which went ok till the end at which point G wouldn't get out from under the table and then insisted that he wanted to go home with Gma S. "Sorry G, we have to go to Sam's for diapers and stamps then home." for M's nap ... though I omitted that part seeing that Missy was right there and I didn't want her to start in too.

G proceeds to have have a snit. refusing to put on his seat belt etc, then at Sam's he proceeds to hang from the cart dragging his feet alomg the floor... grrr. Now I'm definately NOT considering going to Gma S's house again. I warn him to change his attitude or he will end up with a nap as well..... 1.........2.........and at the checkout 3! It's official he is taking a nap.

On the way home he decideds to be good, and tells me as he is getting out of the car "Mom, I'm being good now." uh-huh.... once inside I ask him to use the restroom... snarkdom breaks loose again. I end up carrying my 4 year old screaming to his bedroom.

I then proceed to put M and L down for their naps. Ahhhhh peace...

Nope, and here I thought I might have the rare occasion to catch a power nap as well! Mwhahaha.... Life is a booger! I lay down and 5 min later I hear M playing in her room... ok I'll try to ignore her and pretend to sleep. Thunk. She's now jumping off of her bed. Sigh. Up I get. "sweetie, stop playing and go to sleep please." ... lay down again, it's just a speed bump right? .... 5 min later the phone rings. "Hi this is Some Obscure Realtor, I see that your MLS list expired, are you planing on listing your house again soon?" It's now up for sale with Assist-to-sell thank you "Oh, well can I sent you my card in the mail so that if you decide to list it with a realtor again you can have my name?" ummmm it IS listed with a realtor it's just not on the MLS for a few.... fine,sure send me your stuff. (just let me sleep!!!) .... peace for 2 min... Our realtor calls and says there is a couple that should be able to come through at about 5:30 or 6. Ok excuse to leave for dinner.... click.

rustle, rustle... L is awake. Ok, I should know better than to try to sleep! lol

Maybe I can still get a hot shower... xfingers.

------later-------

Got a Shower! yay! and another Obscure Realtor called tonight.... can I get on a "no call list" for them too???? :)

My Good Chillins

So this morning Mom put down the decree. No Messes Before Preschool!

.

This morning our soon-to-be new realitor is coming to take pictures of the house for a virtual tour so I have to have it tidy at the least... granded I should probably scrub it, but hey I'm too lazy and how much to pictures show of that stuff anyways?! :o)

.

Anyways, the kids were fabulous! As you can see, G sat down with a ew books and Missy My decided to take an interest in some of Little Li's toys. I didn't even have to turn the TV on!! (which is even better because there wasn't time to watch a whole movie and our Satelite has been turned off for a while)

.

Anyways, just thought that for a change I would brag about my kids rather than complaining ... I do that WAY too much! I'm working on it though!
