Better late oh whatever

So I missed another my Husband rocks week. This week it is not because we are fighting or he doesnt rock I am just overwhelmed and have been even worse about blogging then before. I am trying to get all my eggs in a row so they can hatch right, although I know they wont hatch in proper order I have faith they will hatch when they are suposed to be it now or later. We have been looking into different condo's and townhomes (which are also considered condo's, who knew not me), and it seems we may actually be able to own something. I booked my tickets and I am going down alone and I have decided to stay a week because I can and I figure a week away from the kids will make us miss eachother so much that they may be good for a day or two when I get back. Hubby is staying behind working, taking care of the animals and the kids. My Mother will be helping him along so that is why I can stay that much longer. First few days I will be in the business of living arrangement's, we are looking into short sale's so I believe we will be living elsewhere until it goes through and then we will move into our place. I am extremely hopeful everything will work out. I am also looking for a second car since Hubby's now has no A/C and that just will not do in Florida, so we have decided it may be best for me to get a three row vehicle, not sure of minivan or truck we shall see but either way I want to fit comfortably. I also just keep making a mental list of all I need to do when we get there as far as car insurance and registration and such and then schooling for the kids and church and then schooling for me. I cant wait to embark on this new journey and as the time get's closer and I get more stressed out I also get calmer. I have already planned my going away party as well as I have been told people want to get together, so let's make it a big sendoff. That's what is going on in this neck of the woods how about yours?

Thank You Very Much mixed with Thirteen Thursday


This week I am linking up with KMama and also putting a twist by doing thirteen things I am ever so thankful for this week. Needless to say Thank You very much is an awesome therapy session for free that KMama hosts and is awesome for doing so especially when I have thirteen things to thank people for. This is gonna be a good one.


- Hubby's work... thank you very much for letting us know last Wednesday he would have a phone interview on Friday and giving him so much time to prepare.

- Hubby's new DM(district manager) thank you very much for letting us know Monday hubby would be needed by March 15th in Florida when we have never been to the area.

-Hubby's current DM thank you very much for being confused and not keeping up with things.

-Hubby's current GM (general manager) thanks so much for not letting current DM know we had flight, hotel and rental car plans to go to Florida to visit said area and instead letting him know you would be going away that same week. Seriously thanks because now hubby can not go with me and I am going on my own.

- Hubby's current DM thanks even more for not allowing him to have a day off before we go and also being confused and keeping him on the schedule in NY until March 14th.

-Hubby's current DM thank you even more since my kids are now disenrolled from school and dance and now I need to re-register them and pay for even longer. Wait I guess you think you are doing me a favor saving us money on DH's plane ticket so instead it can go towards school and dance. Yeah right thank you very much.

-Realty lady (the first psycho), thank you so much for listening to our budget and our needs and contacts me with property almost double our price range with not enough bedroom's. Seriously thanks a lot.

-Snow thank you so much for giving us this day off and snowing us in which now means my kids have no school again tomorrow I mean I asked for it but now Hubby has work and the kids have off and I am going to go insane.

-Dance school owner;'s daughter, thank you so much for being a biatch and me being glad I dont have to deal with you any longer. I mean seriously all you are worried about is the money not even batting an eye when I tell you we are leaving after being loyal customers for almost 7 years you dont even seem like you will miss us in the least. Thanks way to make us feel great.

-Dance school owner's daughter, thank you so very much for saying in front of my daughter to her dance teacher, oh by the way you are losing one gaining another while pointing at my daughter and a new girl, I mean could you have made her feel any better.

-Dear Principal at the current school, thank you so much for the look that boggled my mind and left me with not a clue if that was a dirty look or just your wonderful face. Wont be missing you either.

-Agh Dear Friend, thank you so much for the drunken call you will miss me and we are such wonderful people. I love you too but next time call me sober please.

-Dear Snow, thank you so much for being so wet and icky that I could notbring the kids out in you to play, our only hope is that tomorrow it will be cold enough to make you nicer then slush.

I must honestly say thank you very much to Big Boy's dance teacher, you made me cry like a baby and probably will weekly till we leave but I truly do appreciate that you showed heart and love for my boy when you found out he was leaving. You have made him love dance and truly inspired him to be better, you are an amazing man an amazing teacher and an amazing dancer who is not only amazing in all those ways but also amazing compassionate. Thank for the kewl Ed Hardy inspired shades as well and the tearing up which made me cry along with the huge hug for Big Boy. I truly love you for inspiring him to be the amazing hip-hop dancer he is and standing up proud to say and what I dance, it makes me proud to see how hard he works and loves dance. Thank you, you are the BEST DANCE TEACHER ever how will I ever find another like you.  BTW just to let all of you fellow blogger's know, he has also been on America's Best Dance Crew, America's Got Talent and choreographed many performances for MTV shows and artist's amongst many other's you are just amazing and I can not say that enough.

Post It Note Tuesday


Head on ove rto SupahMommy and enjoy Post It Note Tuesday! It is just so much fun.









Not Me Monday

I know I cant link up as I am a day late and a dollar short but I cant still enjoy Not Me Monday!

Head over to MckMama to check out more not me Monday's.


So this week has not been super overwhleming and frustrating and I have not been a huge ball of emotion. Nope not me I mean moving in 4 weeks to an unchartered land is not at all stressful or overwhelming.

I also have not forgotten to post a Not Me Monday in a few weeks. I love blog and I would never miss posting at any chance I get.

I have not found out we can get a mortgage only to find out realtor's will try to up your price. Do they purposely try to force you out on the street or do they think you are telling them a low ball number because seriously people I told her my number and needs and she did not find anything in either range.

I did not consider letting my husband move and me staying behind until the summer for the kids to finish school. I know the kids would drive me insane and would go completely bonkers without Daddy being around.

Now I know how Dorothy felt......

I wish I could blaqme this reason for not posting but I cant. So here I am and posting and letting everyone know what is going on. So Wednesday or Maybe Thursday Hubby get's a call at work telling him he has an interview with the district manager of his company in Florida (we are in NY looking to transfer down there) Friday. OK no problem just a call and telephone interview. I had volunteering to do so I was going to the kids school and told Hubby to call me as soon as he could. I was so anxious and excited and nervous for him. Hubby then calls me an hour or so late and tells me the district manager (DM) told him to call the General Manager (GM) of a specific location that night. OK no problem but we didn't think we were going to that location and still need do more investigating and get to the area to see what is what. But whatever here we are and we are going to work it through. After Hubby and I get off the phone the DM calls again and offer's him a salary. Hubby calls and tells me and we discuss some more, only kink they need him by March 1st or April 1st. OK tiny freak out. I am upset the kids cant finish the school year or dance recital's and competition's or even Communion for Big Boy. Aghhhhhh! So fast foward to Saturday. The DM in Florida contacts Hubby's DM here and asl's if March 15th is good. Hubby still has not spoken to the DM in Florida but oh my goodness people March 15th is in 5 weeks. I have a lot to start doing to have us out of here by March 15th. Freaking out just a bit, lot's of tears by me umm  yeah. I am nervous and we are moving to a new state with new people and our closest family when we move down there will be 4 1/2 hours away. I know it is possible but this is one of those times I need to put on my big girl pants and get things together. So there is why I have not been on the blog the last few days and why you problably will not see me much over the next 5 or so weeks. Any tips advice anything? I have never done a move bigger than across the street let alone across the east coast.

Thursday Thirteen

1. I am still fighting with Dh and it is irritating me.
2. We just cant talk things out without fighting more.
3. I think I need a 12 step program from facebook.
4. Obsession is not even the start of the word.
5. I have been reading all week and I am really enjoying My Sister's Keeper which is the book I am reading.
6. I dont want to cry while reading it though.
7. I have been reading as I volunteer at the kids school.
8. Hubby has an interview tomorrow morning on the phone with the center in Tampa.
9. Tampa is the last place I want to move but at least it is close to New Port Richey where my best friend is.
10. I must give up my dreams of my 4 bedroom 3 bathroom apartment.
11. Ugh such as life.
12. I hope for some reason's that we have to move soon and for other reason's that we can wait till the kids end school.
13. I am scared DD's school will hold her back and she will not be able to go into 5th grade when we move and I would honestly be upset so moving could be a positive thing for her. She is ADHD and in a school that doesn't provide what she needs, hence the failing because she cant be rushed and they rush along. Ugh see why I want to move NOW. But they are both in dance and I would hate to see them move and not be able to join in their recital.

Works for Me Wednesday


For more Works for me wednesday's head on over to we are THAT family. You never know you may find a useful tip or two I  know I always do.

This week I again had to think long and hard you know this can get difficult. Then I thought about what I have been doing all week. Volunteering at my kids school. Yes that works for me it get's me up and out of the house early but it also makes my housework lag. Tomorrow is the first morning this week I will be home and able to do my laundry. I must say for me being a stay at home Mom works. I can wake up and unload and reload the dishwasher, start laundry, get dinner together, take a shower do my hair and look human and still have time for me. I guess it is simple then what works for me in being a stay at home Mom. I know this does not work for everyone be it financial or just the need to get out. I am learning day by day that I need to get out of my home as well which is why volunteering at the kids school also works for me. I am home in the afternoons for homework, studying and life and during the day I can do what needs to be done without taking time away from them. Ugh what could truly work for me would be to find a job like I had where I only work when the kids are in school and am home in the morning to bring them and the afternoon to pick them up. Dont you wish there were more Mommy tailored jobs? Have you ever had one? What works for you with chores, work, adult interaction time? I am always amazed at woman who are single Moms or working Moms and can find time to get it all done.
