First, let me say Happy Birthday to my baby girl!!!! Marci turned 29 on April 17, her last year in the good ole 20's. She had to work that day as it was a Friday, but we took them out to Puleo's for dinner and I got her a pretty necklace that she really liked.
This week has been a whirl wind, I spent all day Monday running around Maryville getting our electric and water switched over and took out a new homeowners insurance policy on our new home. Tuesday and today I ran Dwight's car to the dealers to get the A/C fixed, they had to order parts, wrong parts, so they gave me a loaner car today cause it's so hot outside and didn't want me driving in this heat *lol* Looks like another trip to the dealers next week and keeping my fingers crossed the right parts are ordered this time.
My sister has 'handed over' the deed of getting my Mother's house cleaned out and ready to sell. We're going over in the morning to change the locks since I was there on Wed. this week and someone had been in the house again and left the door wide open : ( I've got a ton of work to do there, getting all the old appliances and junk hauled off by someone, having Goodwill come pick up the furniture and then get the carpets shampooed. Landscaping will need to be done and then get it listed with my real estate agent/friend Trish. Did I mention between all of this that we will be closing on our new house this Thursday, April 30 ??? Ohhhhhh lord what have I gotten myself into, I'm a glutton for punishment *LMAO* That will be exciting and a lot of hard work but I am so happy to be getting ready to move back home again ~ doing the happy dance : ) I'll have to put a pic up here next time I post (hubby is using my external hard drive right now and I can't get to them) I've already got a lot of boxes packed this week, things that I know I can live without for the next few months and if I do happen to really need it then I'll borrow and buy another one *LOL*
Going to go watch my recorded American Idol to see who goes home before I hear it from somebody and ruin the show. Goooooooooooo Adam and Danny
Have a great weekend, it's going to be in the low 80's here!!!

Time flies by....
Wow, I can't believe how fast this year is going by already. We are well into Spring now, although the weather outside isn't showing it. Temps in the upper 70's one week and snow the next.
We have our vacation beach house rented for the summer trip and I'm excited about it, not our usual place this year. We wanted somewhere that had a pool and ocean front and LOTS of shopping and things to do so we are going to Tybee Island, GA this year with the kids. I know the week will go by so quickly but I anticipate we are really going to enjoy it there and can't wait for the time to get here to pack our bags and head out!!!
We finally found a house that we both agreed on that we fell in love with as soon as we pulled up in the drive. It sits on two acres and has a view that will take your breath away, looking at the Great Smokey mountains...aaawwwwww Home again!!!! The kids are excited about it too and have already been to check it out. I'm off today to get the homeowners insurance on it and have the electric and water turned over to our name so we will have everything ready for our closing date of April 30th, oh gosh, that's less than two weeks and I have barely started packing : )
Easter was last Sunday, April 12 and we had a nice day, the kids came over for dinner and spent most of the day, Megan kept us busy with egg hunts *lol* I enjoyed it with her this year and kept thinking she is growing up so fast and most likely won't be interested in things like this next year so I want to take advantage of her being 'our little girl' as long as I can.
Been busy trying to get Mom's place all cleaned up and ready to sell, that's another story and I won't even begin to get into the crap that is going on with my sister on that. Pretty much in a nut shell, she has left everything for me to do, cleaning out everything, hauling off junk, taking care of the yard and all the cleaning that is to be done and she said she would show up at closing for her part of the check!!! Can we all say 'BITCH' Well, enough of that, have to keep myself on a positive note and not let her drag me down. I will say that my heart just sank and I sat down and cried after going into Mom's over the weekend and seeing the mess that my sis left behind for me........
Better get off here for now and head towards Maryville, got a ton of work to do on the house but I am so looking forward to getting started on it and get the hell out of Dodge *lmao*
