Workin'

Tonight is Morgan's first softball game (she was sick last Monday and they lost 26-2, I'm sure it's because she wasn't there ). She's got to be there at 5:00 for photos, so DH will bring her and I'll go over from work. Dinner will be something from a drive-thru, I bet. I love softball season, but it does ruin our dining for the majority of the weeks.

Coughing my fool head off. Hope it clears up soon!

Good luck to everyone with their lists. Have fun at t-ball, Reddy!

Hope everyone has a good day!

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

Today:


Car for inspection sticker

dinner ham, veggie and fruit
iron clothes for week

Hope everyone has a great day!

Monday again??

Had such a lazy weekend!! didnt do hardly anything. DBF fixed my coffee machine and mowed the lawn , my dad stopped by to discuss the wedding bs once again, since my mom and I had gotten into in on friday over a text from my sister. My mom's answer to the whole thing was a five year old wont remember not being part of it, but it will be a great memory for the 6 year old. How does that make sense? Then come to find out that she had already replaced the girls and was just causing trouble. my response was take a flying leap

Girls are up and out
DD#3 to school
home
vacuum
tidy up bathroom
maybe start a few cuts
check on threads emails etc
pick up DD#3
pick up DD#2
home
lunch
work on a few more things
meet DBF out at house for inspection around 2, earlier if he wont make it in time.
take a few pics and come home for DD#1
dinner- not sure yet will depend on how long inspection will take this time.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Well, I'm glad you stood your ground Rachal... Mom's logic doesn't make much sense to me either.... maybe we are just "too new" at this mom stuff... LOL Sorry your sis is just being a trouble maker but as a mom you did the right thing!!!!!

Hope the inspection goes well....

Ok, off to finish my dry erase board and get some more stuff done in the scrapbook department!

just spent the last hour taping the gold paper and trimming the boarders from 5 3 x 2 foot posterboards...my poor hand is feeling a bit numb....now need to measure for letter placements

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

[Reddy]

Well, James saw the pizza then wanted to stand in the dug out & watch for it some more - he didn't even bat the ball

soooooo pending the well inspection the house is ours. there is a few minor issues with some toilets, a few wall heaters and the porch railings. but nothing that cant be fixed.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Rachal that's good news.. just put new toliets in.... rails..those are a fairly easy fix..... wall heaters..need mounted to wall or replaced??? You can do those over the summer.... (we are doing that as we remodel.. ours were not anchored to the wall BUT we painted to the wall! )

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Front porch:

Part of the backyard

Dining room and kitchen:

Living room:

family room:

office

office other side

office bathroom

one of them is a new toilet, they didn't install it right. so we are having the bank fix it. no biggie it has 4 toilets in the house. They are all attached just 2 aren't heating up. One in the dining room, that I want to pull out anyways.

yup the porch needs some decent rails and thats easy. ohh and a porch swing. haha.

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

Rachal, glad the bank is willing to fix the toilets. Porch rails are pretty easy, heaters not so bas as we head into summer, that gives you some time.

Seems to be a good amount of space, now you just have to make it "yours".

Good luck with the well inspection!

We have baseboard heat and it's amazing....we heat our house for 1/3rd of what others do w/ electric and gas.... Most around here in winter average about 600 per month... (the mild winters)..we didn't nudge but 200 once this past winter... 2 years ago when it was a bit worse I think our highest bill was 275...

I'd definitely re-do the rails... look into those pvc railing systems.... they look great and they don't require much if any additional maintenance...and they will definitely prevent the little ones from 1. stuffing each other's heads through the railings... or 2. falling through the openings you have now...

I hope the well inspection goes well... fingers crossed..
