I am Ravenous But Ill Make This As Long As I Can

And not just the title.

We are all moved in and everything hooked up finally!!! I am loving my new trailer and the sense of awesome that I get looking out at our YARD! I had the kids out the other day to play, DOnavan had a blast.

Bought a bike and trailer to pull the kids. It is a way to get samara to school basically. I am loving biking but pulling her and donavan sucks. She is heavy and hard on my legs. LOL. It takes me a half hour a way (Because by the time I get home I have been gone about an hour.)

I am getting things done though. Today I hit roddy woods for meat on my way back. tomorrow henri wants to go to tims. Sherry is off though so I am hoping she takes her to and from school for me.

Going to my parents house for my mother's birthday. Gotta see if Kev will keep teh kids for an hour becuase its hard to have them out there with the dogs jumping around. UGH. Ask me how exciting that is. UGH.

Getting it done!

Bathroom is cleared out (toothbrush and cleaners nonwithstanding of course). Samara's room is done (besides bed, stand vith vcrs, and drums. Hallway closet is next to mark off my list ;) )

Lisa is supposed to coem and look at teh tv stand. She wantst o try to get in it her car with seats down. I hope she manages it, it would be a huge relief to have it gone!

We're getting sherry's car later to take a few boxes up and get everything ready for tomorrow with the truck!

A bit more garbage to go out, plus a couple things on roadside for next weeks spring cleanup.

I am so excited. The siren call of the computer isnt even too distracting today! Cant wait to get it out of the livingroom LOL.

Today:

  1. wait for woman to come and get toy
  2. fill 1 garbage bag in back porch
  3. get samara
  4. check is garbage was taken
  5. IF YES take out garbage so far. IF NO fold and put away laundry in everyone's bags
  6. dishes
  7. finish up and tape 3 boxes
  8. start supper

This Blog Silence Deafens Me

Is that even how you spell deafen? Looks too weird.

Had my ladies over last night for drinks! Super fun! I got super smashed. I find that occasionally I have teh urge to go out and drink and make a fool of myself. And I find that if I plan an occasion where I can do that then I can curb the desire for a long time. Here what it comes down to. I hate being drunk and I hate eing hungover. And I SUPER hate going to bed drunk. SO when I start feeling like everyone else ym age is out partying and I am stuck home all the time wasting my youth then all it takes if 1 evening of overdrinking and being ill to make me thankful that I am more mature than those who do that. So thank you hangover. I can go back to being a social drinker.

Packing is going well. I am really seeing a difference now. The computer desk adn area is still the same but everything else is A-1.

:)

Well, Kev wants the computer so I am going to go start supper. Shake n bake chicken and mashed potates with boiled veggies. I am going to tape some boxes and try to get a little less freaking out adn a little more Zen... Like my new lucky bamboo.

So He Wanted To Show The Place

I pretty well figured that.

The whole packing and cleaning as I go isnt working for me so I have moved to another strategy. Room to room. (If you say I told you so or duh Ill smack you.)

Ive started in teh bathroom becuase I scrub bathrooms for extra spending money LOL. I cleared it out and I am going to go scrub in a few minutes.

Then the hallway, then samaras room.

Ill let you know how that goes.

UGHHGHG

LOL

Yesterday my freaking landlord called 4 times. I didnt feel up to it so I didnt answer. This morning I bit the bullet and called him. no answer. Way to push back teh inevitable.

Donavan and I were both away wayyy early. He just finished an epic tantrum.

I ahve some cleaning and a bit more packing planned today. :)

8 More Sleeps

8 more sleeps until the big move. I am so excited... can you tell?

Teaching Donavan manners was a huge success until he asks for a drink. I have been trying to get him to say drink please but instead he says, "Want drink now, want drink now." Ah well. He says please when promted and automatically says thank you. And he says sorry when he should. He also replied sorry when someone else says it.

More packing and cleaning today. Plus my mother is supposed to come and pick me up to take me and get my birthday gift. Pretty sure she is getting me clothes again this year. I need to call Betty and see if she'll keep my crazy baby becuase Mom doesnt want to take kids.

Party here is in a few days. I cant wait! It will be so much fun. :D:D Drinky drinky.

Samara is wearing a shirt with an apple on it that says, "Bite me." I wonder if that is inappropriate for school? Probably.

Donavan "want drink now!"

Have I Blogged Yet Today?

Went to Maggies this morning. Very interesting ;)

11 days until the move!!!!!! OH YEAH.

Donavan finally snapped out of his mood. FINALLY.

Pay day tomorrow, I finaly see where we are for cash.

Things are hostile on the child support front, Went and got some papers today. We shall see if I see any money this month. Then it will be time to mail them out. I was as lenient as possible and I believe that I was very understanding but really. How much is enough? THIS MUCH.

What to pack now?

Have I Said Recently How Awesome I Am??

I am getting it done chunk by chunk! I am stuck on the random junk right now LOL but I will solve that problem soon :):)

I need to get rid of the tv stand as a priority right now I think... I should clear it off a bit and take some pictures...

Well off to discuss with Kevin.

Look At Me Go!

WOO HOOOO

Got all of the stuffed toys down from the shelf and gone through. I filled 1 clear bag with special ones and put it on the pile then got a great start on Samara's closet. I snuck in some block play with donavan and went through Samara's barbie box. There is so much barbie stuff floating aorund I think I am going to leave that ones out. I am thinking Ill put the kids other toys in packing boxes and use the totes for blankets and clothes etc. :):)

Dishes to be done and I want to go through the junk still in the livingroom :):)

After a nice game of dynomite. :)

:):)

Ill get my go back tomorrow but for tonight I am resting :)

I am still proud of my pile adn i sold 2 baby toys on fb so far. More going on tomorrow.

I had boxes all lines up, sherry was bringing them but her car wouldnt start so theyre in the parking lot of the wandelyn waiting for things to fill them LOL.

Tomorrow is toy day.

Oh What A Beautiful Morning!

I asked samara to close off the kitchen and bathroom and keep half a 5 year old eye on donavan so I didnt have to pull myself up just yet (At 7AM). And I laid there adn donavan ran in and out and I planned and plotted.

I was thinking!!!

I need a way to get samara across town to school everyday for a couple weeks to a month once we move. I am not going to yank her away from friends and her first real teacher at the end of the year. New school next year, not midway (I always hated midway yanking). I want a bike for summer... WELL, I could get a bike and trailer to haul children the 5th when we get paid!!!! I will get samara to school and get exercise pulling the 2 kids daily. GO ME! Now I am more excited than before. Its the little engine that could attitude. I think I can I think I can!!!

I am out of boxes, sherry didnt get to the boxes yesterday but she is doing it today and my parents are supposed to drop in with my birthday gift today so I am going to see if theyll help me get boxes. I am so proud of how I am doing packing. So far I havent deviated from my plan to keep boxes organized at all.

While I wait for boxes I have big plans.

I am going to charge my camera batteries nwhile I go through the kids toys. Once it is charged I will take pictures of the toys worth selling, I also have a big bag of clothes of donavan that Im thinking about putting on kijiji. Normally I am a big fan of hand me downs but I am planning on saving for somethign big... TV BIG. FLAT SCREEN TV BIG. MWAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAA. And every doller helps big! I am so fricking excited!

How could anyone stay sad or tired on a glorious day like today!?!?!?????!?!?!?!?!?!

My washer is banging in teh background adn the sound is screaming, "GO LISA!!! YOU ROCK!!! GET SOMETHING DONE!!!!"

There is a half full of blankets box in the hallway calling for me to go through our clothes. Leave out outfits for 12 days and pack teh rest. How many pairs of jammies does everyone need, really?
