Looking Towards Spring in Sharing 519

[Nelle]

Today's my Friday.. thank goodness.

Only two more weeks and I get to see my little squishy tho! Can't wait to snuggle that sweet baby.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Gonna get to see 2 out of my 3 kids and grands this weekend.

[MsJennJenn]

Howdy doody. 

Nothing really to update. Life is lifing and I'm over it. Make the most money I ever have and I'm still broke!! Tired of literally getting nowhere with our savings cus something always comes up!! Sigh.

Hubbs is struggling at work and so he's working crazy hours which makes me grumpy. Cus the hours are like going in at 4am and he just gets too tired to do that so then his tiredness doesn't end and it's a ridiculous cycle. Bleh.

My bonus mom and I went to the first evening service of Indiana ALJC camp tonight. Was a good service.

Sounding more like Seth every day...


In local news I found some monterey jack with marinara and pepperoni. Like, not bits of pepperoni embedded in the cheese, it's all pureed and blended together into a cheese block.

Somebody trying to make pizza easier, I think. Slice cheese, put on bread, heat, instant pizza.

It's pretty tasty though.

[Lynx]

Yeah. That's the exciting news from my corner of the world. I found an interesting new cheese.

Whatevs. I like this life anyway.

[MsJennJenn]

That cheese does sound kinda good lol

I did not sleep well last night. Bleh. 
I got a week and a half to get my house in order before my parents, grams and aunt descend upon me loool.
In concordance, i also have to take a millllion and one photos of my house as the "annual inspection" since we rent.

It's all stressing me out.

[Nelle]

Just ONE week and I'll get to spend a week in Arkansas with my family!

[The Purple Fuzzy]

My stateside kiddos came last weekend and fixed my electrical problem. I'm so thankful. Had a wire that looked burned. It's a blessing that there was not a fire.

[Nelle]

Our toilet decided to torture us and die a slow messy death. So our bathroom is practically flooded and down into the basement as well. Yay.

We currently have zero water connection to the house b/c the shutoff at the wall for the toilet refused to actually stop the flow of water. We're gonna have to get a toilet and a plumber.

On the PLUS side - we are also getting a dumpster delivered today or tomorrow so we are gonna PURGE this house.

Then Friday, I leave for Arkansas. I can't wait.

Well I'm going to be living like Seth for maybe a good long while. Word came down that Dad is coming  home in 13 days. And this time he won't be able to run on his own.

So I turned in my notice at the job. And lo, there was much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Eh, they'll survive.

Perspective makes all the difference...

I'm glad we're in the USA. I crunched the numbers and Dad's social security check will EASILY cover all the costs we have. I'd hate to try pulling this off in some other countries.

Dad is working hard, exercising and practicing with his artificial foot. And the second artificial foot will be here in a while. I might only be here with him for a month.

On the other hand he is 70 and things keep breaking. I might be here at home with him for the next 7 years.

Or he might have a massive stroke in three days and never make it home at all... I have no idea how long this period of his life will last.

But I'm glad we don't live in Pakistan.

[Nelle]

I'm glad you are able to be a help to your dad!

Just a few more days.

I survived the night with zero water. Gonna need to find a place to shower and launder some clothes. Good news is that it's not our toilet's seal leaking. It's the pipe that feeds the toilet w/ water. So we have to figure how to replace that. At least the nasty carpet is out of the bathroom now! That's a plus for sure.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

I hate it when they put carpet in a bathroom or a kitchen.
Hopefully you'll get it fixed soon.

Isaac, hope things go well with your dad.

[Lynx]

Carpet? In the bathroom!?

Somebody, somewhere, at some point in time, was feeling very brave!

Whoever it was must have never had little boys around.

There was a layer of carpet over laminate tile.. very weird choice in my opinion hahaha. They were also smokers. My husband had to clean the walls and take down wallpaper covered in tobacco gunk when he moved in.

We have WATER. Showering and washing hair was magical. I plan to do all the loads of laundry LOL. I wish I was off work so I could go home and get things done.

Currently planning on leaving Saturday morning for my parents house in Arkansas. Hoping my husband can finish out dumping everything trashy into our dumpster without me lol. I'm sad I'm missing several days of that, BUT I can't afford to miss time with my family visiting in Arkansas, so.. off I go!

[Roscoe]

Well Hi. Life has been busy. We are plugging along, trying to keep everything rolling in the same direction and running smooth.
I may not know where all of my ducks ARE right now, but wherever they are they are in a row. 
God doing somethings in the church that I'm loving to see.
 The city is trying to complicate my life with the need for umpteen plans, pictures and hoops to jump through to get a simple building put up. I'm about angry about it...
