I want to sincerely apologize about the amount of spam on here right now. My mother in law passed away on Friday and we are in the process of planning out the memorial service. This weekend has been filled with visiting family coming in. I am working on banning the members and deleting posts, but it may take me a few days to get it all accomplished.

mom2patrickncolin Well our landlord flaked again and won't return our calls about staying here. So we are now definitely moving. Found a house and are going to sign the lease next week and move in over labor day weekend. I will be so glad to be done with everything. So now I have 2 weeks to pack. At least we found a house in the same school district and a family oriented neighborhood! I can't wait.

I've been MIA from here for a while too. The hurricane knocked power out for 3 days. We are finally up and running again, but I've got a whole lot of food I need to clean out of the fridge. We are not moving I guess. The landlord called with some sob story and hubby believed her. I don't!! LOL. We are staying for a little while, but still looking for a new place to move to. We really want to buy and not rent this time.

mom2patrickncolin taking the boys to Chuck E. Cheese today, I am thinking we should have a good time. It's my last week off before starting to babysit again, so I am planning a week full of fun!! We are up in the air about moving now. Landlord wants to "work" things out. I've had 2 people contact me about babysitting..more money!! YIPPEE! We are still going to move, but can take the move much slower and find the perfect place for us! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

I have been so stressed. We found a house and then the lady I babysit for said it was too far away..so I would lose my income. She basically pays our rent. I was so upset, my stomach was in knots I couldn't eat, wasn't sleeping and what have you. Now our landlord calls and wants to work things out..so not sure if we are moving or not. I just want things to be back to normal!! I feel a bit better today!! We may just stay here long enough to find the house that really su...

wow.....that does sound rough....but yeah if the landlord wants to work things out, then stay there, but look for another house. This was ur calling to find something else. Maybe something closer so u can still babysit!! Either way, it didn't sound like u were happy there. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other......is what I always say lol....I will cont to pray for u!
mom2patrickncolin Spent the morning cleaning out my bedroom closet..wel half of it..it's a big closet. I'm done with the whole packing and moving thing!! OMG!! I've only just begun!! LOL!!!

closets are always the hardest because if I don't know where to put it, it gets put in a closet. SOOOO I end up with a closet full of "stuff" that we don't really need. I don't even want to THINK about the attic!! ugh!
mom2patrickncolin Okay, so I complained about our neighborhood enough! Our landlord decided to sell our town house and we have to be out by Oct. 1!! Yikes, we are not in the financial state to even think about moving. DH was out of work most of last year, we are only now starting to get on our feet!! Oh well, it's time to start packing!! LOL

Wish I could do that...I have to work...way way way too many bills lol :)
mom2patrickncolin Jul 26 2011 02:16 PM
I worked for 4 years after I had my oldest. I got laid off 2 weeks before I found out I was expecting Colin. Couldn't afford to work, couldn't afford NOT to work. Tough situation. I have worked in daycares for over 15 years..but having kids in your house is a totally different and more stressful experience! LOL. But it's worth it. My oldest LOVES that I am home with him now. We do all kinds of fun things all summer long...and cheap too..I like free activities!

And you are truly blessed for that. That's why I live here in this small town. My mom and my mother n law watches the kids when we are at work. Or else I don't know what I would have done...probably work night shifts....ugh...believe me...if I could stay home I would!! lol
mom2patrickncolin UGH!! the heat outside is unbearable! which means my boys are cooped up inside and it's showing, they are wild children! I am hoping to finish a LO that I've been working on. But I am trying to use Glimmer Mist for the first time and we are not getting along at all!!! LOL.

yeah, we've been roasting here in Southeastern, PA lately...it's crazy! We actually had rain for first the time since early June yesterday. It was beautiful. I went out and danced in it while my boys stood at the door with the "Mom finally lost it" look on their faces!! LOL
Celeste gonzales Jul 26 2011 08:50 AM
Jul 26 2011 08:50 AM
lmao......ahhhhh those poor kids have no idea uh? We haven't seen rain in months too....I plan on doing the same thing!! lol Glad it rained for u guys!
mom2patrickncolin I've been MIA for a few days! We've been so busy lately. I am sitting down for a few minutes to play on the computer and then I am off and running again!!
Jun 21 2011 08:37 AM
mom2patrickncolin sooo tired!! I've been in so much pain lately and I can't sleep. I tried to lay down during naptime but my 7 year old keeps waking me up! UGH!
Jun 17 2011 01:14 PM
mom2patrickncolin it's going to be a scorcher in my area today. Temps in the triple digits! I am not looking forward to that. I am hoping to get a little scrapping done during naptime!! My last day of babysitting for the summer is today, that means I get to scrap more!!

the LO is posted. There are times when theme products need to be used. I guess my problem is that I don't actually scrap too many Holidays. I like to do the every day moments more.
