I had my first review at the library and got a raise! I am really enjoy working there. Books and I were meant to be together for sure. When ever I go to Des Moines we always stop at Boarders. I love this book store. It is wonderful! I love that they have a dollar book table and then they always have great sales too. I almost always find a wonderful book on sale that I love. This last trip I got a huge book called 'The Vampire Book: The Encyclopedia of the Undead'. It has over 900 pages of vampire information. I plan on reading everything. I am pretty vampire obsessed. I have been reading the House of Night book series. Justin has a Boarders membership, so when we buy things he earns points.
He was able to find a ton of vampire stories for me. He is into the 39 clues books. So he keeps up with them on there.
We still have a ton of unpacking to do, we have kind of took a break from that. I have been keeping an eye out for Christmas shopping. Holden is the hardest one to buy for. I took him over to his girlfriends house today. She is really nice and I like him spending time with her. He always has nice things to say about her.
I bought Coco a doggy shirt on sale at WalMart. She has been wearing it for a few days, and it looks really cute. I got it for her because she always seems to be cold lately. We still have all the puppies here. I really want to sell them. You just don't realize how much dogs can poop!!
Chris has been working weird shifts the past couple of weeks. He will work like 12 to 16 hours for a few days then be off work for 3 or 4 days. It has been hard on him.
I made up treat bags of Halloween candy for the three of us. I got the candy on sale on the first. The boys really liked it. Oh and I had Mickey with me when we went, and I got a dozen cupcakes to split. We don't really need 12 cupcakes for three people. So I gave them six and took six home.
Sam is a pathetic cuddle monster of a cat. I am trying to write this and he comes and throws himself across my right arm. He just purrs his heart away. Zoe has been super loving as well. I wonder if it is because she wants attention or because it is cold out.
This fall has been going pretty well so far.

Today was a good day. I got some rest and picked up my food from share at my moms house. I am gonna try some new recipes with the potatoes I got this time. Jeremy came over and helped me clean out some of the basement. I got four bags of trash out. It was stuff that was ruined in the flood. I still have other things down there that need thrown out. I also talked to my mom about a idea I had for Christmas, which is actually going to work out very well. I have seen these cards at WalMart that are for college students, and one card it a loader card and the other is a spender card. This way no matter where the parent or student is located, they can put money on the cards and spend the money as well. It is easy and quick. I thought this was a pretty awesome thought and my grandma is going to to do it for all the people in the family so she can send gifts easier(and on time.) I am very excited about that. I am picking up the cards tomorrow and then mom is going to mail them on Monday. I washed some dishes and fed and watered the dogs. I finished up Krystals birthday present today. I just have to wait for the glue to dry and put it together. I am giving it to her a day late. But better late then never, plus I hope she likes it. I am gonna take pictures and put them up on here. I just finished reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The movie came out in theater yesterday. I am very excited to see it and I hope they decide to make the other books in the series into a movie as well. Justin has been doing really well at his new job. He will have thanks giving off from work and I am excited about that. I have to work in the evening, but we will eat all day! I feel kinda sorry for his mom, because she is missing out on being in her sons life and doesn't have any one to spend holidays with. But it was her choice to be this way. Justin doesn't seem to mind, he never mentions her or anything. My parents love him and so do my siblings, so it is almost like we are married already, lol. But I think if things are better by tax time then we can hopefully either pay for or at least put money aside for my divorce. We have already decided on a wedding date, but it far enough in the future that we have plenty of time to plan and save. Plus I want to get this house sold before then. I really seriously need a house bigger then this one. I talked to a old acquaintance today and he should be talking to me some time this next week about financing. The biggest problem is my credit score, and the fact I am not currently getting the credit for my current loan, which sucks and is a long story.

The dogs have not destroyed anything lately, which has been wonderful. They are going outside potty more often, which I am super proud of them about. Asia is freaking huge. Not big, HUGE. She is solid too. Which is wild, two tiny petite puppies, have one super healthy chunk like her. But I love them all so much. Zoe's kitten, Sam, is growing up, and is wild. She plays with Asia all the time, and is madly in love with Justin. It is cute, she rides on his shoulder like a bird.

Speaking of Justin, I have to gush. I really don't think I have ever met anyone like him. I can't wait to take his name. We talk about when we get the new house and kids and stuff all the time. We can joke and laugh and be dorks together. Plus he has so much patience with me when I am moody and stuff. He is so wonderful to me. I have learned a lot of patience too. He is far from perfect, but I really wouldn't have him any other way. I think he really brings out the best in me

I have a terrible head cold and it is killing me. But I have to go to work in about an hour and tough it. But I have to do what I have to do. Justin didn't get the job with Calirs. They said they didn't have a position for him. This is extremely upsetting. I applied at the Newton Village today. I hope to hear from them. I also applied at the dollar store and plan on talking to the manager before I go to work tonight. I really hope either Justin or I can get a second job soon, because if we don't, things are going to start going bad really fast. But other then being sick things are ok here at the house. Zoe is more loving then usual and Sam is weirdly attached to Justin. The dogs some how spilled their water bowl and it leaked through the floor to the basement. So we are dealing with drying that now. Which brought me to the realization that I need to wash their food rugs. They got wet, so now they stink. But anyways, thought I would drop a little update.

Today was my second day at Wal-Mart. I am a cashier and I think I am going to love it. I actually had fun. I was nervous about starting a new job, and doing all the new stuff. But it really wasn't that hard and I had a lot of fun meeting people and learning the job. I just need to take some snacks with me. I had my meeting with Prairie Meadows today and was fired for taking stress leave by doctors orders. So we are going to see what the union can do and if we have to we will sue. But I am trying not to worry about that too much right now. I am really happy with my new job. I realize I want a job were I can work with people more, and not just stand around and watch them. I like having to do things, not just stand there.
The house is really looking good now. The living room is almost empty. I can't wait to get Justins couch moved over here. We got a new kitten. I took Justin to work one day and there were two stray kittens at the dairy. This chick told me they drown them, so I just couldn't leave them there. So I took them home and I ended up giving one to Jeremy and kept the other. Zoe hates the kitten seriously bad. But I love her! She is really super cuddly and will let you hold her and handle her however you want and she is really good with the dogs too. I named her Spooky and Jeremy named his Cici. Which I make fun of him about because it sounds like Cici's Pizza.
Things are going really well with me and Justin. We have been together for over a month. We go through things here and there, but we are still learning each other. My family loves him and his mom hates me. She thinks I am using him for his money. But we love each other very much and so he doesn't let her be involved with our lives because she can't respect me. But that's her loss.
Well I am off to bed, there is a thing called October Fest at Maytag Park tomorrow and we are all going.

Changes

Wow, things can change fast! I went to the Renaissance fair with Justin and his mom on Saturday. On the way home he mentioned to her that he was wanting to move in here with me. She flipped out so bad that she is basically kicking him out. Her name is on the title to the mustang so she won't let him have it. He has another car though, so we are going to work on getting it on the road this week. Me, Jeremy, Justin, and Chris all went to adventure land and had a blast there. We were there basically all day. Me and Justin got bored of rides, so we went over to the casino. We didn't win anything, but we had a good time. I work tonight, then I am off two more nights. My mom really likes Justin and is going to let us rent her storage unit. We have to help Butch tomorrow and Wed. to combine both their units into one. Hopefully I will get my stove then. It is a huge unit, so I will get to put a lot of my stuff in there, which will make it so much easier to get the house finished. I made a bunch of phone calls today about the refinance. I have to make the rest of them tomorrow. Most of the paper work is coming in the mail. I am very excited, because things are coming together so well. Justin is here with me, and so is his dog Skeeter. I was worried his dog wouldn't get along with my dogs, but he is doing very well. Justin and Chris got the carpet tore up in the second bedroom. The floor is really nice in there. I am very excited about everything getting finished, because we are very close now. It has gotten to the point were we have only finishing touches to do really. I got the shower curtain set up completed today. Jeremy vacuumed and did the dishes. I was kind of unprepared for Justin to be here so soon, and now I really don't know where to put everything! But I know we will figure it out. I love having him near me. He makes me so happy, and everyone seems to like him. Zoe and her kitten are doing well. It kinda looks like a baby rat. My doctor gave me some new medicine to take when I am under too much stress. I took it the other night at work and it did work really well. So I am really happy about that. I carry it on me at work now. Things are going really well, and I hope they continue this way.

Dryer!!

Yes! We finally have a working dryer. I am so happy. Justins mom gave her old one to me. So we got it hooked up and Chris is already running laundry. I got a lot of stuff done today. I am almost completely moved into the second bedroom. I used wood cleaner on the floor and got the rug laid down, then we got all the furniture moved in except for the jewelry box. We have to clean out and paint the closet and then put the door back on. Chris did some more work in the bathroom and I love it. I just can't wait until I can afford the pedestal sink. We priced them at Menards and they aren't much, but I have to put the bills first. Krystal was super awesome and brought over some more groceries for me. I love her to death. Her and Dale are probably buying a house which is cool. I really need to sit down one day at moms and just have them fax everything there and get all the paper work in for my refinance. My loan guy called me today and asked if I got it done yet. So I know I need to get on it, but I keep putting it off. My insurance should be effective some time this week. I am so excited, because my medicine costs so much. Plus I need to see my family doctor about uping my meds and to fill out my FMLA forms so I can actually have sick days and not get fired. I am still looking for work here in town though. My checks are going to be so much less now, because I am not working over time, I joined the union, and now my insurance money coming out. Chris is moving out and due the stress Jeremy causes me I have asked him to move out. I can't keep getting sick at work like I have been. Next time I will have to tough it, or it may be my job. There is just so much going on right now, and not all bad things, just a lot. Zoe had ONE kitten. We are all shocked. It is a little boy. I think it is going to look just like her. Well, I am off to bed, and hoping tomorrow goes well.

Friday, February 08, 2008

I worked today and it wasn't too bad. My job really isn't that great. But my 90 days is up in a week or so and I am hoping to either duel or go to another department. Brandons department may have an opening real soon. So I hope I can get on there. Coco is asleep in my lap and Zoe is alseep at my feet. I am very close to all my pets, and feel like I have the right balance in my house. We have so many people, so many plants, and so many pets. I think we all live in harmony very well. After working today and driving the chevy for the first time a long distance, I realize things aren't so bad. I have been pretty depressed lately, and I think I may be over it all now. I think the accident and that my parents think I can't sell my house is what really brought me down. I have decided that if I can't sell it I may rent it out. But we would have to save up some money first so that we could afford two houses if no one was renting it. Plus I still have to get it all refinanced. Which they won't do right now because I have not owned it long enough. So all I need is time, patience ,and money.
It is so weird outside right now. There is so much snow on the ground and stuff that it reflects all the light back up and the sky is always a bright orange. Like it is 6 am all the time.

Well, I am have been super busy with the new year and all. Now I am a little ill. But it just because of being a girl, lol. I am on that time of the month. But now my great wonderful Michael lives with me. he is the best thing to ever happen to me. Really, he is just so sweet and handsome. I never thought I would be with such a good looking guy!! He is in bed now sleeping because he has to work tonight at the hotel. It is his first over night shift. I miss him while he is sleeping, but I want him to be able to stay up all night for work and all. Chris has started his new college classes and is loving them. He was going to move out at the end of the month, but we are going to put that off for a little while now, because money is really tight because I don't have any work hours for a while. But that has worked out to my advantage now. One of my New years resolutions was to get rid of a bunch of junk I never use, or have been trying to sell for a long time. I need to refresh the page of my life and get rid of some clutter. I have been freecycleing like crazy. Then I gave a big box to the salvation army and I have a big box I am taking over to the high school tomorrow. I am donating some old clothes to the clothing closet there. I am finally settled in some where, and I am un-pack ratting. Well, at least until I hit the summer garage sales!
But having Michael around has been a wonderful change. I love him so much. I have a feeling we will be together for a long time. We play video games together, and he makes me laugh. He is not perfect, but he is working on doing better. This is his first time living on his own. He is only a year younger then me, but comes from a very well off family. But he is willing to work hard. I love that about him. He is willing to do anything to make me happy. He likes my pets. He is a cat person so now Zoe loves him. It is cute to see him get excited over her. Then he likes the puppies too. But Garth is his favorite there. Coco is just too hyper for him. He really likes Jeremy. They are a lot alike and have a lot of the same interests and humor. I like seeing them hang out together, because it is almost like brothers. Chris is never around, but has done amazingly nice things for Michael. He went through and gave him a bunch of his old clothes, and then he was the one to hook Michael up with the job at the Econo Lodge. So it has been pretty awesome on that end. Chris is never really here though, because he is working for direct tv and the hotel, so he goes from one job tot he other and then sleeps and is out the door again. I miss my car! But since Michael has a car here, it hasn't been too bad. I love him!!

Pictures!!









These pictures were taken on different days. The hand at the top is the big gash Zack put in my hand. The bruises on the other side wouldn't photograph, but they were the size of two fifty cent peices. The other pic's are of Brandon playing with Coco, Zoe, and Jeremy trying to aviod the camera. Oh and I had to make a pic of me looking mean, so I could win a photo battle on my year book,lol.
I learn something new every day. Like today I learned it takes eight 2 liter bottles of water to fill up the back of a toilet to flush. Also I have a new appreciation of indoor plumbing. But it seems my house is forcing relaxation upon me. Because without water, we can't do laundry or wash dishes, so it does limit my amount of cleaning I can do.
Zoe is in heat. Which has been a interesting experience so far. She follows Jeremy around like he carrying catnip. Plus she is eating more then usual, which is funny because she will meow at us really loud until we feed her. Then at night she uses what I assume is her sexy kitty voice and meows half the night away. I feel bad for her. If it weren't the middle of winter, and we weren't so busy, I would see about finding her a boyfriend. I wouldn't mind the pitter-patter of kitten feet. But I think we will wait until next time.
I have been playing around on myyearbook.com a lot. I really like the site, it is really fun. Plus I am meeting a lot of new people and that's always cool. I am kinda hoping I meet a guy on there. I have met a few, but nothing really serious yet. I just want some one special to spend my time with.
I have some pictures of the house and some other ones I think I will put up in a separate post. I am still not talking to my mom. So now our Thanks Giving sucks. But it never has gone well before, why should it go well now? Mom hates Chris again, because he stood up for himself. I had Jeremy ask her for help with the plumbing, since he broke it, and she even got nasty with him. So I hope she is happy. Jeremy wants us to make-up. But I don't see that happening. I am still upset with her, because every time I get up set she basically says I am crazy. I hate that so much. I have a right to have feelings. She thinks I should just not be upset over things.
Chris might be getting a car. Which I think is great. He is working out some sort of deal with his boss to buy a car that was theirs. He is getting it relatively cheap too. So I am impressed. Jeremy has been helping me clean this morning, which has been really nice. We got a lot done. I haven't been feeling well. I don't know what is wrong with me, because none of my symptoms are consistent. I have a itching stuffy nose and sneezing, but not all the time. Like now I am fine, but 15 min. ago I was sneezing all over the place. And like right now I feel so drained and just want to sleep and last night I got well over 8 hours of sleep. So I don't know what is going on with my body.

First Snow

I have not blogged in a while. I keep intending to but, I have been really busy. Yesterday and the day before were my first two days of work. The orientation went very well. I wasn't too bored and actually had some fun. I am now TIPS certified. Our water went out here at the house, because Jeremy broke a valve. It really wasn't his fault. He just set a box on a pipe that was about to die anyway. When Chris removed it he told me that it was corroded. Things are going pretty well now. Today is my day off. I don't work again until Saturday. I am excited about it. I am not sure when I get off though. Because it says I work from 2pm to close. Well if you know Prairie Meadows, you would know that it is open 24 hours a day. I am going to be working part time, but as soon as a full time position opens up I am going to try to go after it for sure. I don't get any benefits or anything until I am full time. Me and Mom still aren't getting along. It really bums me out. She promised that her and Butch would help out with all these repairs with the house and they just let me down again. Chris is starting to pull through for me though. He has some one lined up to do the re-wiring. Plus we are going to be working on water proofing the basement soon. I am really excited about that.
Oh and the most exciting thing that has happened all day is today was first snow!! And oh boy is it snowing. It has been snowing for like the past couple of hours, and I think we are coming up on 6 inches! If it keeps coming at this rate, then we may have a foot or more! At first it was kind of light,, and then the big fluffy flakes started coming down. It is sticking to everything but the road. There it just turns kinda mushy.
Zoe my cat has been out and about a lot more lately. I like having her around. It is like a sign of leisure and comfort. She is always resting some where. Her usual spot is on the small table in the middle of the room. Right now she is laying on my sewing table, right in front of the window. There must be something special about the spot because she isn't getting any warmth, and no sun really. It is still light out, but it is usually dark around five now. Chris told me the other night that it was very weird to him for it to be so dark so early.
The puppies have been good. Garth is getting more and more social. He will come and curl up with you now while you are watching TV. But don't let Coco see, because then she will have to be on your lap too. Then the fighting will ensue. They are funny yo watch play. I love them to death. I was worried for a while that I was allergic to Garth, because it seemed like when I was around him my sinuses would act up. But now I realize it is just the season and I have try to keep things more clean inside. I have to vacuum a lot more because the dander can get to me. I made sure to pick up some anti-histamines at the store, so when I do get all stuffed up I have some thing I can take. Plus Jeremy has been having the same issue.
Chris has been doing okay health wise, with he exception of his fatigue. His job is really straining him because he is not on a regular work schedule. So I don't know how to help him. He says he wants another job, but wants to keep this job. Which I understand he is good at it, plus it is very secure. They need him and trust him there. But he needs to make more money. He said that he would wait on getting his own car so he could get a computer for his college. But I think he is going to regret that choice once he has to walk home from work in the snow. I don't know what to do though. I am going to have to wait and see what my pay checks are going to look like first.
Speaking of pay, I am hoping that I do get a lot of hours, because I want to be able to get Chris and Jeremy good Christmas gifts. I want this Christmas to be really special. Since it is the first one in our new home. Plus the three of us will be here all together. Oh and I don't know if I put this on here yet, but Jeremy has found out when he starts college. I can't remember the exact date, but it is in the beginning of Feb. SO I am really excited for him. I am so proud of him too, all his hard work. He is getting straight A's. Plus he has lost a lot of weight. He just really amazes me. That's why he totally deserves a wonderfully awesome Christmas gift.

Pretty Good Day

Today has beena long and interesting day overall. I had my interview and had to watch Mickey before and some after. I picked up Holden from school too. Jeremy went with me. It was nice to have his company. My interview went AWESOME!!! I got the job as a banquet server. I am really excited about starting there. I got Coco and Garth many different types of flea protection. I think I put too much stuff on Garth because he started acting sick just a little while ago. I am holding him now and typing one handed. So it is slow going. But I love to blog. Coco is sleeping on my lap too. We watched the movie The Invisible. OMG it was really good. I cried. Like a lot. I really liked the movie though. Jeremy recommended it for us to watch. He has really good taste in movies. Chris made tacos for dinner, but Zoe ate the leftovers while we were watching the movie. She was very stealth. My mom is working at getting on at Prairie Meadows too. She was talking to them today. I picked up my paycheck from GoodWill today too. Chris gets paid tomorrow. So we will be doing much better really soon. I bought food today. We really needed it. I need to re-apply all of us for food stamps. We need it really bad. There is never really enough to eat around here. Plus it doesn't help we can't keep any freezer food because we are still using a tiny bar fridge. Eh, but I am off to bed now.

Ummm....Wednesday

Today was pretty good. I worked from 4 to 9:30. I was on the floor all day, but thats ok, because I busted ass. I also bought some christmas ornaments. I am so excited about Christmas. I have decided to skip over thanks giving decor completely and go straight on into christmas. I got a email from my friend Linda today. I had not spoke to her in over a week. I had not even realized it!( Sorry Linda!) But I got really excited about meeting Todd that I kinda just focused on getting the house clean and was trying to potty train the dogs. This weekend will be so much fun, because after I get off work on Saturday, it is me and Todd the rest of the weekend! My detail billing thing is going good. I put int he new transactions for today. I got Mickey some cute PJ's for Christmas. I already got them some Christmas presents and birthday presents. Zoe is sitting out here giving the dogs the evil eye. But she does play with Coco though. Chris took Garth to work with him. I think it is better for Garth, because he has a hernia and it can be damaged by Coco playing too rough with him. Plus he can't sleep in bed with me, because he peed on me and Chris(separate occasions). But anyway, I am heading off to bed soon, I got to check my email and talked to Todd on the phone, so I am a happy camper!

Wow


Ok, I guess I haven't written in a while. I am sorry for that. I have been super busy. Usually write toward the end of the day, and my boss has me working everyday this week. So it sucks. But is good, because I am getting tons of hours. I was on register all day today, which wasn't cool. I did nothing but run all day long. I sent a lot of text messages though, lol. I work tomorrow then I have the entire weekend off. I am going to get tons and tons of cleaning cleaning done then. My house is trashed. Zack got a lot of cleaning done today, mostly getting boxes out of the house. I have a date next Tuesday that I am extremely excited about ( and kinda nervous too). I want to get a lot of unpacking done between now and then. I want the house to look really good, in case we decide to come back here, because he is coming here. I just can't wait!!

I think I will be carving my pumpkin this weekend! That should be fun. I wish I could have decorated more for Halloween, but since the move date got pushed back, most of the decor is lost amoung the packed stuff. Coco is super tired. She spent the last few hours running around like a freak! She can be one psycho pup. But I love her so much. I just don't see how I could live without her. She is my baby.

I am still unsure of my Halloween plans, but I will be doing something. If I had more friends, then I would throw a party. Although I am still not sure if I would because I think I would freak out about the time someone spilled something on my new carpet. This is the first carpet I have ever owned that was nice, and clean.

I have gotten two more boxes unpacked, which is good, because I having a hard time finding my pants! I am frustrated though because I can't find the pedal to my sewing machine. It must have gotten separated in the move. I really need it because I bought these huge curtains and I had to split them in half for them to fit the windows. Well now I need to sew up the edges and I can't! I wish I knew where things were! Like we couldn't find the cat food all day long. It was beside the fridge all along, but the cat wasn't happy yo have had to wait. Chris found Zoe laying in the bath tub earlier. She usually lays in the lizard tank under the heat lamp. Oh, and then she owns the windows.
I am going to try harder to keep up on my writing. I love to write, so I just need to make time for it. I ams till collecting those HyVee receipts for the heating aid this winter. I have a stack I need to take over to my moms house. She has a little envelope that she is keeping of them.
I have a fairly long day tomorrow, I have to run a lot of errand. I have to go and buy food, then I have to go to the bank, I would really like to stop by the salvation army, and then Chris wants to take me out to eat since I haven't been in a while. He is going to be running errands with me so it should be fun.

Interview

OK, I am up, but so tired. I have a job interview today at 2. I need to find my hair clips so I can put my hair up in a bun. It is driving me nuts not being able to. I love my hair and all but we need time apart. Today won't be too interesting I assume because I work at 4, at GoodWill and then my interview. Other then that a whole lot of nothing going on. Jeremy doesn't have school, so he will probably sleep all day. Then Zack is in sleeping as well. His dad stopped by last night and should come by some time today. Which is good because he is supposed to give me 5 bucks and take our empty cardboard boxes. I just realized that I am the only one not sleeping. Coco is laying here in my lap, passed out. All the boys are sleeping, and Cy and Zoe are not to be found. It was funny last night Cy was snoring in the hallway. The boys got my closet put together, Chris has a few final things to do before it is finished.
I had this bad dream last night that I had to check my water coming out of my pipes in the bath tub to see if they had this bug or poison or something in it. So I took home this test and tried it and we had it and I was freaking out. Then my dream switched over to me and Chris walking around this weird carnival place looking at used fridges. This one makes sense, because we need one. But every time we found one we liked and could afford, then it would have a tag on it saying some one had either bought it or reserved it. SO that was tons of fun. Oh and then Chris got a bunch of ice cream and was carrying it on his shoulder and was dropping it on the floor and I was really mad at him, because the place we were at was all hard wood floors and he got in trouble for dropping it. I was so mad and frustrated in my dream. Then some little girl was bugging me to do my hair, which happens a lot and I usually like but in my dream I had already taken the time to do it up and detailed braids and didn't want it messed with. But they kept bugging me. So yeah, not so great dreams last night.
But speaking of my hair, I need to go look for those clips and get me something to eat.

New Post!!!

Okay I know I have not written in a while so this will probably be a long post, your eyes may bleed when you are done reading it all. If it is short when I am done, then HA! fooled you! Just kidding, but I am going to write my little heart out.
I have missed my Internet sooo badly. I had it shut off before the move and swore to myself I would not have new service put in until after we emptied the other house completely. This way I would not be distracted and stuff. In between this time and that time, we moved into our new home!! I am now officially a home owner! I love it here, the only major issue is the basements floods, so we have to get some exterior work done, before we can make it livable done there. I am going to turn this two bedroom house into a four bedroom eventually.
Oh, and I am now back among working people. My old manager at GoodWill called me and asked me to come back. I said yeah, because I loved that job a ton. I have already worked two days and I have 28 hours next week. While we are talking about jobs, I also have a interview for Heritage manor tomorrow that I have to go to. I would love to get hired on there, they have benefits! So we will see what happen with that. I will probably have to work two jobs. But I happen to like money so it will be okay. I think.
Coco has gained a whole pound! She is up to 3 pounds now. I love her so much. She is actually starting to use her puppy pads, but she gets confused a lot because she is so small and we keep moving all the furniture around. So I would have a hard time finding the bathroom too if I was her.
We got the Internet hooked up this morning, but they messed up a bunch of stuff and it didn't start working until a hour or so ago. Chris had to go into work early, so I got on here FINALLY. I have really missed the Internet, have I mentioned that yet??
Jeremy and Zack are back in my bedroom building me a closet that Chris and I designed. But if we ever move out we have to take it apart, because it can only go up and down the hallway because it is so big. But I really need it because I own a lot of clothes. Don't believe me? There are two 5 foot long dressers in my office/living room/dining room and they are full of clothes as well as a 2 shelves on a 5 foot book shelf. Plus I haven't even unpacked every thing. I can't find my pants!! Luckily I can go for a long time before I run out of clean clothes.
Then there is Zoe. She has been running around the house like a mad cat. Well now we can't find her, so we think it may be baby time. I wasn't expecting anything until at least November. But she may just be hiding because the boys are running power tools.
Okay I think maybe I might possibly be done writing for now. I think I may need to supervise the boys, if they screw up my closet I just may have to hurt them.

Meet Coco Bean Mills

Meet Coco Bean Mills!! She is the newest addtion to our family.

She is a full chihuahua. She is seven weeks today. She was born Aug. 15, 2007. She is a little sweet heart!
I love her so much! My mom named her. I had a hard time coming up with a name that stuck. Mom said she looked like chocolate and that is her coloring. So it stuck. I am super happy to have her. In a month or so a friend of Lindas will have puppies and I would like to get a little boy. Coco's parents were 'married' puppies. Her dad died like two weeks ago. So I think when Coco grows up, she will get married like her parents. I am into weird stuff like that. Cy is pretty jealous. But I think if we work with him in time, I think he will be fine. Oh and Zoe is starting to look pretty pregnant. So we will be having little kitties in the future!
I had a pretty good day. I went and picked up advertisers for the boys and ran to a few stores. I want to work at GoodWill again so bad. I miss it there. If Chris gets this job he has been talking about I could work there again. Because the amount of income I make wouldn't matter. I loved my job. Now I am not saying it didn't suck from time to time. But I did enjoy it. I stopped at Salvation Army and got some neat stuff.

Yesterday







I was trying to get on here yesterday and it wouldn't let me for some reason, adn I was just too tired to deal with it. So I went to bed. But what I wanted to post about last night was that Zoe thought it would be fun to get in the lizard tank and sun bathe. So I got some pictures!! Zoe is such a funny cat. She makes a great addition to the family. We can't really tell yet if she is pregnant for sure. But she might be. SO we will just wait and see.

Every one! Switch Places!!

Ok, I am going to mix things up a bit here. We went to the new house today and found out that they did not properly winterize the house at all, and we do not know the extent of the damage. I went over to my parents house after school, and after a lot of talking, and web searching, I am getting a different house. That is if it is still available. I have to call the realtor first thing in the morning, call Jon first thing in the morning, and make up all the arrangements. I am crossing my fingers I can keep my original move date. We have so much of the packing done already and everyone keeps giving us more boxes!! Thanks everyone! Oh and the new place we will get to live across the street from Linda. Which would be so wonderful, she is such a wonderful lady! I am very excited about this place. It has a very hidden drive way, it took us over 15 minutes just to find it. I will update more on this tomorrow night. Zoe is doing so well. Her hind end is even starting to look better. She was pretty tore up when we got her. But she is very happy to have her own space. Cy still tries to sneak in there, but he knows better mostly. Things are going really well here. Everyone is getting along really well.

New Cat!

Well, we drove all the way out to the Tanger Outlets to get Zoe. She is my new siamese cat, and is pregnant. We locked up Cy, because after traveling, she seemed pretty nervous. So we stuck him in the bathroom for a couple of hours(sorry Cy!). We couldn't find her later on, and she had gotten into the back of the couch. Poor thing, she is just not adjusting well. Oh and Cy loves her, and she hates him. Hopefully they will get used to her. She is about a month along we think, so no kittens until after the move.
