Hair times

Back in the 80's , I loved all the hair bands ( I still do ):)
I was looking up some songs today , when I came across one of my all time favorites. Thought I would share :) Enjoy !

Flushed

We are now down to the last bit of having Mom's house complete . Last Wed . we had the old toilet broke out . The plumber came in to get the measurements and check everything out . he had planned on coming and putting in the new toliet today or tomorrow. Well ..... It does not look like that is going to happen .
i went in and picked out the toliet last Thursday morning . No problem , they had it in stock . However, I needed to order a new faucet fixture for the bathtub . You see , mom has one of those old tubs with the claw feet . Anyway , the people at the plumbers did not seem happy when I told them , I did not want a $1000 faucet . So , they have been dragging thier feet on ordering it . They said that they could not find one . Right !! I found lots on -line for around $126 . I just called them and now they say they found one , but will call me back . It has been over an hour and no call !!!! I am getting very mad ! Mom is coming home this week-end and the water has been cut off for this project and the main line cut . We need it fixed by friday . I am totallay stressed out !!!

Round , And Round We Go

It seems that things just will not slow down ! Rob , my husband , has been working long crazy hours for the last two weeks , doing the music for church twice a week , and renovating my Mom's house . On top of all that , he had to fly out of Phoenix today , to go to Kentucky for his work .
Since , we have not seen much of him lately , he rented us all a hotel down in the town my Mom lives in , last night . He had to go down and meet with a plumber this morning , before driving ti Phoenix . So , that is why we stayed sown there .
We had a really good time . But a very busy time !
Our day stared off with , going over to my mom's house and meeting with the men laying the floor and the plumber . Floor is going down today . The plumber looked at the bathroom and gave measurements for a new toilet and fixtures for the bath tub . Rob then drove up to Phoenix . ( Crazy man , made it in two and 1/2 hours . Normally it takes 3 and 1/2 ! )
I then had to go and pick out the fixtures for the bathroom , and order them . ( Mom is out of town while we are doing all this . ) Next came wal-mart . Then an hour drive home and to Basha's ( groercy store ) . I am ready to crash ! I will be so happy when September is over ! I think October may be a little slower .( I hope !!! )

Dog Days

Yesterday , my neighbor had a dog groomer come up from Safford , to groom the neighborhood dogs ( for a price of course ) .It was a great time ! I finally got to know some of my neighbors . We laughed and talked just like we had been buddys for years . We even talked about having a block party in the future . It is sad that it took a new girl on the block , to get us all together . But I am so glad she did .:)

Itisy Bitsy Spider

Sunday we had a great family day . We sat around watched movies and the rain . After the rain , the boys wanted to go to the park . With much begging , we finally decided to take the there .
The slide had alot of water but that did not stop Lucas from going down . He made his own water slide . He loved it ! His Dad hated it .LOL
We were having alot of fun until .... along came a spider !! This was one you don't want to mess with . So , we grabbed up the boys and left . It maybe a while before we return !

Eating paint Chips

Renovating Mom's house is getting to be a real PAIN !Started painting the ceiling and guess what , It started to peel off and falling down ! So , no , the guys ding it , will be spraying it tomorrow . ( Say a pray that it works ! )
Next , the toilet has to be replaced . This will require drilling a new hole in the floor .
The walls are being filled in all through out the house . You see , the house was build in the late 30's .It is made out of concrete and by a rail road , thus the cracks .
So , tonight , we have to drive down to Safford , rent a storage unit , move all the furniture in it . Then the painting will begin . The floors will be replaced next week , then the toilet . It is alot of work , but I think it will make Mom feel better . I will post pictures soon :)

It's been a while

Life is just now starting to get back to normal , since Dad's passing . We had talked of moving in with Mom but have since , decided to stay put . She does not really want us to move in with her and there is really not enough room .
Thought of buying a house down in Safford , but decided not to . Houses are to expensive . We thought that $200 month rent next to $1000 a month house payment , well , I think you can see for yourself . Also , being an hour away from everything is not so bad . ( Mom is just not herself , guess that is to be expected .)

Mom went and bought paint and new floors . She is fixing the house up , so she will have a nice place to live in . I think it is about time ! It has needed it for years ! I think this is one of the smart things she has decided on .

The waco things , she is doing , is things she sees on TV or reads , applying it to her life . I really hope this ends soon . What do I mean ? Well , Lucas has OCD and ADHD . He has alot of screaming times from this . ( Meds and pray are helping but it still is a part of him ) . So , she can not or should I say , will not babysit for me . She saw a thing on the news where a kid beat up his grandparents , so she tells me " I can't watch him and have him beat me up " . Give me a Break ! A four year old is not going to beat her up ! I told her to just discipline him when he acts up . Anyway ..... It is just stupid things like that . Or another thing , her Dad's wife died not to long ago
( my wicked step -grandma ) and her kids took all of his money so , now she thinks me and Rob are wanting to take everything of hers . There is NO WAY we would even think of doing such a thing . All of this hurts very much . I am just have to let her do her thing and do what ever makes her happy . God is having to give me much Grace .
So , that is what has been going on . Would make a great story for a soap , don't ya think !
