Packing sucks

So ya, we got that house we apped for *yay* and are starting to pack to move. We have most of the upstairs and Saria's room ready to go, but I'm absolutely horrified at the thought of packing my bedroom because EVERYTHING in there smells like mildew, and some of our blankets that we had in the closet were nice and fuzzy green with the mold on them.. Seriously, the landlord is getting the 1200 we owe him and I doubt I'll wanna pay any more than that. Fixing the problem by telling us to wipe the windows (which obviously doesn't take the moisture out of the air in the bedroom because that room is always colder and wetter because there's a HOLE in the closet the size of my middle child. Anyway, before I go off into a tangent about how this place sucks, I'm happy to report that we are moving somewhere cheaper and prettier and has the same (round about) sized yard. So, FEBREEZE I hope you're a miracle worker because everything in this place stinks :D We'll probably actually vacate the first week or two of March, but we're getting ready so that we can ASAP when we get our tax return back.


On another note, Ben and Desiree had their bday party together the other day (Hila and Christina have a ton of pictures there so you can check those out because atm I'm extra lazy and don't feel like uploading a bunch of pictures hehe. But I do have ONE. We made Ben a cake on his actual birthday just to help his day be extra special, and I personally think it turned out great. Brad drew it with a toothpick onto the icing, and I iced it in with the same toothpick because I didn't have a decorator tip small enough and I was out of ziploc bags and the freaking cling wrap just burst hehe. He had a good day-choose where to eat for lunch, we had Popeyes, and whenever a choice between kids was to be made that day he got to pick first. I think that treating each kid a little more special on their birthday is a good idea and will do this with Saria and Sam too :D

Turning in App

for a house that's mere minutes from where we currently live. It comes complete with a hottub that will never get used, and a wood stove that definately will be used (if we get it) If we don't get it, we'll just keep looking. It's really nice, 3 bedrooms 1 bathroom for 975 a month (versus the 1200 we're paying now)-which by the way our current landlord STILL has not called back/fixed the water heater...

Too Much

To complain about, so the one thing that I can say is this: I am 99.9% sure the dead cat I saw today belongs to us.

Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard

Okay, so today Brad, Sam, Ben and I went to look at a few places that are for sale. The reason for my title? The realtor that is helping us on our "journey" as he himself put it, is named Julio, and we've been contacting each other through the internet on a really nice website called Ziprealty.com and that song POPs into each of our heads whenever we look at different homes on the internet (because his picture with his name follows us everywhere) Anyway, he's a really nice guy and we're going to be looking at more houses tomorrow, and after we file our taxes we're going to go to a mortgage company and get this ball really rolling because we're ready to move out of here. We found a really really nice house that needs a few repairs here and there, but all in all has what we want. A kitchen I can cook in, a basement, and a fireplace. Not to mention (HILA) it has 3 bathrooms. 3.. that's one for each floor of the house (basement, main level, and upper floor) Of course there's only one shower, but there are three places to take a dump!!!! It's on 7th Street and it's a brick house, we'd have to talk down the price a little,but considering the fact that's its been on the market for a bit, we think we can do that :D Anyway, we're looking at more options tomorrow, wish us luck we need it!

BooO

Cottage Bay is really nice, but it's just not big enough for all of us.. :(

Finding a new place to live :D

So tomorrow we're going to go check out Cottage Bay (muhahaha Christina I'll be your next door neighbor and you will LOVE IT) They have a 3 bedroom unit available and do accept kitties (you're in luck Alice!) and so we're gonna go talk to them tomorrow...I hope we like it and that our stuff will fit.. otherwise.. prolly gonna have a major yardsale :D I am feeling loads better in the UTI department too, only the medication I'm on makes me really dumb and dizzy...I get dizzy when I open my eyes in the morning, the entire room seriously spins.. hehe anyway.. I'll update after we know more :D

UGH

Around 6 pm last night I just started feeling horrible and asked Brad to stop off and get some more Azo for some relief. I managed (DUNNO HOW) to hold off until this morning and went to the clinic to get a urine test to confirm what I already knew-ANOTHER UTI. So I'm on some antibiotics and I hope it feels better soon, they keep getting worse and worse. Also while I was there they pricked my finger to test my glucose level because apparently it was high in my urine, but it was fine :D

Sorry its been forever

But I have nothing of interest to report on. I have been looking up houses for sale/rent for the past few days because we're getting really tired of calling the people that own this house to fix the water heater (it spews water several times each day) and our electric bill we're thinking is 300 bucks+ because of it. Two times they've said they'd either call us back or look into it and they haven't, so we're holding off paying them rent for now so we can catch up on our electric bill and find a new place to stay so we don't have to deal with this crap anymore. Anyway, I found a few houses that are for sale that I would love to go look at, or somehow talk to someone to see what our price range is, I know that there are a lot of houses wanting to be sold so I know somewhere there's someone to talk to us about it. I have a FHE planned for tonight, I think its the first time in a while that I planned something in advance to do, and OF COURSE Brad is working...Oh well, I cut out several paper hearts and wrote things to do on them (sing songs, discuss a certain topic, tell what we like about someone etc) and we're going to do that for FHE, I'm also making pudding for it, I was going to make a lot of jello today but for some reason I can't find my little plastic containers that we used the last time we made it..
