We've been here a week now. It's okay, I don't miss the other place as much as I thought I would. I was just so used to it, and it was our first place together. :) This place is smaller, but it has more room. Well, in spots anyway. Heh. The living room is considerably bigger, and so is the master bedroom. The kitchen, on the other hand, is teeny, and the bathroom would make a nice closet. One thing that sucks is when we remodel I can't make the kitchen any bigger, because the bar that separates the living room and kitchen is load bearing. But, since I won't need the space on the other side of the room for a table, we can add cabinets and counterspace around two more walls. It ought to all work out in the end. :)

I got Mackenzie's softball pictures back today. They are so good! I hate buying pictures ahead of time like that, cause then you're stuck with them even if they stink. Heh. I let her hang the group pic in her room and I kept the one of her alone in the living room. If and when we hook the printer back up, I'll scan it in. It'd make a good sig on the forums. :)

I need to call my sister about my baby shower. When she found out I was pregnant in January, she immediately said 'good, now we can have another baby shower'. I did not mention it or even bring it up, it was purely her idea. She set the date for July 18 and was telling me all this stuff she had done for it, favors and gifts she'd bought, and game ideas, etc. She was bugging me for the guest list in MAY! I didn't even get a registry set up until the first part of June. I put her off on that because I didn't want people to get the invitation two months ahead of time and then forget about the shower. So now it's supposed to be on Sunday. I ran into my grandmother at Wal-Mart on Friday evening and guess what? She hasn't gotten an invitation yet! Now come on! I was purposely putting buying some stuff off because I wanted to see what I'd have after the shower. I could have been buying those things! This is highly irritating. If she didn't want to or couldn't have me a shower, that is absolutely fine. I never expected one anyway, this IS my fourth child afterall. But if you're going to make a big fuss about it, then follow through dammit! I know she's busy with her husband's lawnmower racing, and they travel out of town many a weekend to go to races. Heck, I would have filled out the invites and mailed them if she'd let me know she couldn't do it. I assumed they'd been mailed out weeks ago. Now I'm wondering if she even reserved a building at the park to have the shower in. I need to call her, I'm not going to be rude or accuse, I'm just going to ask her which building she reserved and we'll go from there. I guess I should have went ahead and gave her the guest list in May, she may have got the invitations mailed by mid-June!

My kids go back to school if 4 - count 'em: one, two, three, four - weeks. I have to say that I am ready. It has been so boring this summer, I am hot and irritable and my patience is very thin lately. And all they can seem to do is pick, pick, pick, pick, fucking pick. I want to ring their necks sometimes. I made them sit in the living room floor the other day and hold hands for a while. LOL I was just at my wits' end with what to do with them. It is just constantly something, and it's usually over nothing. It is just so stupid - if one of them does something, the other has to criticize it. If one of them is whistling, or singing, or sitting the wrong damn way, well you know it just irritates the other one and it must.stop.NOW. They eye each other at every meal so they can tell the other one to stop chewing with their mouth open or whatnot. They remind me of the kids on the Sunny Delight commercial with the 'I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you' crap. Except in my house, the girl wouldn't be sitting there ignoring the boy, she'd be loudly protesting and then shoving or smacking him.

The hubby is home. More later.
