One job leads to more
I'm tired of working on this house.. We finished the trim yesterday so today I was going to paint, but oh no I have to kiltz it first. After I did that I wasn't in the mood to paint. Jeff fixed Cole's holes in his walls so now I have to paint his room too. Then we found a hole behind a mirror in the office. Jeff fixed it now I have to paint the office too. I'm thinking these rooms will have an accent wall. I don't care that all the paint we have is semi-gloss and the paint that is already on the walls is flat. I don't want to spend anymore money on paint. I have lots of half gallon paint. So I thought I could mix a few and come up with a color and paint two walls and be done. Then we discovered other things that have to be done. I had to make a list cause I know I would forget. Its mostly just touch up paint here and there. Thank God we still have all the paint needed for the touch ups.. I blew my no drinking till our weekend , Oops! Jordan and I are going to go see the new Harry Potter movie tomorrow I can't wait to see it. Everyone says its really good.. Tuesday I will paint. Wednesday I will go get my nails done and pick up things needed for our girls weekend. Thursday I will pack for girls weekend. I will not be cleaning house before I leave cause 3 guys home alone for a weekend = mess. I mean its not like we live in a pig pin so it will be fine. I always pick up and clean through out the day anyway..I have to decide on what tattoo and get ink for my printer. I was up a lot last night thinking about it. I like both dragonflies , so I think I will print them both out and see which one the tattoo guy will do for the cheapest and the shortest of time. I don't want yall to have to be waiting on me...I'm so excited about our get away. I have not had a girls weekend since we went to six flags that one time.. Cole was like maybe one years old. So that makes it 18 years ago..

New idea
Okay so after talking to Laura about my foot tattoo, I have decided to wait on the foot. We will be doing a lot of walking and I don't want to be in pain. I want to enjoy shopping. So , Jeff and I came up with a new tattoo idea. Its a dragonfly on my shoulder. I like what dragonflies stand for and I like how they look. So we found a really cool one tell me what you think. It might be too detailed for our quick tattoo stop, and I know it will cost me . And I'm still open for sugestions ... I still want the lady bug on my toe , but I think I will wait till some other time to get it done. I have to get ink for our printer so I can print up the new tattoo for Friday. Laura thank you for all your hard work searching for a lady bug for me and I'm sorry I have changed my mind..Tomorrow I begin to paint. Jeff got all the trim work done so now its my turn to work..

stupid tree
Well crap, the tree must come down and with that there goes a chunk of our money that we didn't want to spend on a house we are moving out of. But for the safety of my child , my pets, and my house I guess we must spend the money to have it done. I could call around and get different bids, but he can take care of it today . And he moved the tree too, so thats pretty scary. I don't want to wait any longer just having the dogs go out to potty is a risk. Not to mention we can't use the pool either cause the tree might fall on us. So down it will come and peace of mind will be granted. We were gonna go see Harry Potter today , but now we will wait till Monday. The tree guy said it should only take 5 hrs. I have been thinking a lot about my lady bug tattoo, even though I really want it on my foot maybe I should put it some place else. I went on line to get more idea's of making it worth my money if I kept it on my foot. And I'm just not sure. I like the vine , but I'm not really a flower kind of girl. I like my tattoo's to mean stuff and the only flower that really means anything to me is the honeysuckle and I don't know if that would look good on my foot with a ladybug. I just don't know. Then I got to looking at the ladybug by its self and thought maybe I could just put it on my shoulder. Hmm? any idea's???

just our luck
Yesterday I discovered the one and only tree in our back yard that I actually like has a huge crack running from the middle of the trunk down to the ground. Jeff pushed on the tree and it moved. Not good. If it falls it will land on the pool and take down the cable company line or it could go the other direction and hit the house. So today I have to call a tree guy to see what needs to be done. I don't want to spend a lot of money on this tree we are moving for crying out loud. But I don't want it falling either..I need to go to the grocery store, but I hate spending all that money on food. Jeff won't be home tonight so we might just eat grilled cheese sandwiches or something simple . Cole's jeep is broke down and he will need me to go get the part for him once he hunts it down. Yuk, I hate doing car crap.. Men always look at me like I'm some dumb female. Which when it comes to car parts I am..Man I'm grouchy this morning maybe its cause I haven't had my thyroid pills in 4 days. They should be here today. I have noticed just in 4 days that I have no energy I have been taking naps again during the day. And my feet have started tingling again.. Its amazing how one little pill can make such a big difference..

Today was a lazy day for me.. I did two loads of clothes, two loads of towels, and washed two blankets, exercised my two hours , cooked burgers on the grill. Yep lazy day!! I have discovered a tree in our back yard is split right down the middle. It is pretty scary cause if it falls it will land on our pool and take a few power lines with it.. Jeff wants me to be packing , but I'm just not feeling it. I mean really why bother until I know the house is sold. We can't move until it sale's . I may be painting next week depending on if Jeff can finish up the trim project. Cole needs to pack up his room so I can paint it also. He has posters and pictures all over his walls. I hate painting. Well really its not the actual painting part its the prepping before and the cleaning afterwards, and the cut in. I hate to cut in, but I don't mind the rolling part. Okay so maybe I do hate painting.. 8 DAYS!!!!

its hot!
Well I have scrounged up 10 boxes. I think thats enough, HAAAA!!!!! I really don't have much to say. Just exercise, school , clean house, cook, laundry thats my life... Getting supper stoked about our get away. Can't believe its 10 days away. I'm trying to figure out what shoes I am going to wear since my tatt. will be on my toe/foot area. I have decided no booze until our weekend, I bet I drink at least 4 nights a week now. I don't eat after 3 pm so having a drink in the evening curves my appatite. Plus it just makes all those stupid tv shows more enjoyable.. I now call it my cocktail hour... I just need to find a less fatening drink then I would really be on cloud nine.. Jordan will finially be done with school July 28th. I told him I would give him a month off then we start the next grade level. Well thats all I got for now..
