I'll be there at 9:30 sharp with bells on! I am excited, anxious and pooped all at the same time. Went to do the final walk through this afternoon...met the neighbors across the street..they seem really nice. They have a ton of pecan trees...so I wont have to worry about having pecabs for baking... The next door neighbors are very friendly as well...the man comes out and greets Ruf everytime we are there...they told us they were keeping an eye on the place till we get there.. There are some rowdy neighbors in the back that have mean kids...one was jumping the 4~sale sign in our yard and then went and tried to kick the airconditioning unit over...the neighbor saw him and called our relator and she called the police and then had an electrician come and make sure it was not damaged.Looks like I may get in trouble for some child abuse if they keep trying to damage our little house. The little guy that is going to do the roof work met us over there. We wont get to have him do as much as we had thought...but he will get the roof fixed and the windows in and some electrical work done. SO...I have to take the van in for some work at 8:30 (it is blitzing out on me bad) and then be at the relator's office at 9am and off to the closing at 9:30...then ...PARTY time...

We had to go to Cabot for the closing...got there and EVERYTHING went smoothe as could be. So we were about homeand got a call on the cell...they FORGOT one paper and we had to go ALL the way back.... AND...it's SNOWING...it rarely ever snows here, but the guy was planning on starting on the roof today...so go figure! AND THEN...as we were leaving the relator's office...she said .."oh wait Vanessa, you have been so excited about this house that I got you a LITTLE house warming gift." She pulled out this HUGE bag...and I mean HUGE!!! It is the most beautiful planter (perfectly me) with silk orchid looking flowers...but it is really big. I was SHOCKED....and I mean it isn't your basic Dollar Store arrangement, she spent some money on that baby..I LOVE IT!!!!
So, we finally got home and the school let out early due to the snow so Peanut is home. I may have to get out one more time to go get the van...it was whacking out on me and I HAD to get it fixed so it has been at the van hospital all day...hope it wasn't major....I will know in a bit...
I HAVE A HOME..............

That will be a 2 week process. We are going to have to paint the entire inside first and want to do it before we actually "move" anything in...that will start tomorrow. Then as we gat a room done...we will haul stuff in. I have to wait until the windows are in before we can lock the house up good...so it will be a bit before we start lugging stuff over there. My rent is paid up here till the end of the month so I have a couple of weeks to work with...I just want it CLEAN before I move anything so I don't have to work around it. BUT...we still wont have furniture (except mattresses YEAH) for a while because I just found out the van is gonna cost me an arm & a leg and part of the farm to get it out of the van hospital...but that's okay...I'm not discouraged...everything will be FINE & DANDY in no time at all!!!!! My sis aske me when I was planning on a house warming...I cracked up...and told her that when ever my forum friends had their bars stocked up..that is when it would be. She forgot that I don't know anyone here!!!!

Vanessa, I am so thrilled that you got to close on the hosue today and that all went well. Hopefully the snow will stop for you soon so you can get that roof and those windows fixed! Grinning ear to ear over the great news!

I'm not trying to get into your business but I know in our County children in Peanuts situation (meaning they are not living with their biological parents) are on Medicaid. And these children are seen at the Health Department for doctors visits. Sometimes people need furniture and we will somehow find it for them or their case worker does.

Sheri, you are fine...you aren't getting in to my "business" at all. I have applied for EVERYTHING there is to apply for...the problem here is that they take forever to process anything. They have been working on Peanut's stuff since we got here and when I check on it they just tell me it is "pending"...well, I got a letter today stating they need more information to process it...you know what they need? They want to know what his dailey activities are...yep that's it...what his daily activities are. He's 2y/o for Pete's sake...not to mention that they HAVE all the reports from his Doc's AND the school...so they know he is in therapy all day! Like I am gonna send it back saying that he has been out mowing lawns or something. It is ridiculous...totally ridiculous. I am making some calls Monday!!!!

You should contact some politicians. The House Representative from your District. Whoever that is can expedite things. DSS is a lot of paperwork and sometimes it takes persuasion to push things through.

I decided the other day that it was going to take just that to get anything done. We had to hire an attorney for hubs disability...they were SHOOCKED (as were his Docs) that it had been denied!!!! I think the system is just in such bad shape right now...they don't want to approve anybody for anything. But he has worked and paid in to it all his life and now when he needs it, can't get it...it is REALLY sad!

My sis has taken care of that...I am getting a 5 burner gas convection oven WOO~HOO~IEEEE...I cannat wait to get that bad boy in!!!!
Well, today is the day....I am starting off taking BEFORE pics and then we will start the cleaning/taping off of rooms to paint. We will hit all the ceilings with kiltz first and then go back and start the actual painting. I have 2 weeks to paint and clean and have a little yard sale. I wouldn't mess with the yard sale because I really don't have much left to put in it...BUT...I have to sell my computer desk and try to replace it or my computer will be sitting on the floor. This is a corner desk and I don't have a corner that it will fit in over there...so it HAS to go. I also wont need my little microwave so I can put it in there and Peanut's baby bed, he is a BIGGER boy now and needs a real bed...and then just piddley stuff.
So...starting NOW...I will be scarce having to be over there...I will mainly get to check in at night or when we pop in & out during the day....I am PRAYING Peanut will do well for me while all of this is going on...I know it will be confusing for him...and Darin & Lisa will help with him as much as they can....
Just keep praying it all goes SMOOTHE as silk...
I'm so excited !!!!!

I don't know Weez...I don't think it is an actual "commercial" oven...just a convection oven I think from Lowe's...but it's a DANDY!!!
Okay..we headed out early this morning and the mission was to get rid of "their" dirt first..I can't function in a dirty enviroment. So, I got all the floors swept & mopped...got the kitchen countertops bleached and the bathroom gutted. All the vents down and nails pulled out of the walls. Got Peanut a play area set up and 1 kitchen cabinet cleaned so I can have a place to put his snack~ie things. We came back here for lunch and headed back...to finish up. Peanut did REALLY well this morning..better than I had expected so I got a lot done...but...didn't do as well this afternoon so we had to call it a day after 2 hours of screaming. I did get all the dog poop up and that was a lovely job I must say! What is it about people that they can LIVE in a house full of animal feces...and HAVE children. I cannot imagine. Thanks to Jimmy for telling me about the Fabuloso stuff...man that stuff cuts the odor wonderfully. So, I felt Like I SMELLED like dog poop and had to SAOK in a tub of hot water when we got back...I fell better...but am totally exhausted from the day! We will head back early in the morning to tape floors & windows off and get ready to spray the ceilings. That is the job I dislike the most...but once it is done, everything will move a little faster I think. I am going to have to replace faucets...darn it...they are all rusted...and HADN'T even thought about window coverings...this moving stuff is for the BIRDS!!! So, I fretted a bit today about the things I need to work with and am sitting here trying to get a PRIORITY list made. But..it is ALL turning out to be priority...how does that happen! Okay...back to the ol' drawing board!!!
I'm whooped!!!

Well, I HOPE I didn't sound like I was complaining...I am really not...I am glad we are at this point. It was a joy (once I got the SMELL out) to be there today. I really didn't feel like I got as much done as I needed to..I just wennied out! It is really cold here and that is a battle for me to function in the cold. It makes me really stiff and I can't move well..or fast. But, I think it is suppose to warm up this wekk...( I am praying) so that will be better. I know I am going to loose part of Monday because I have a Drs appointment that morning that I need to keep...so I am TRYING to cram as much in to the week~end as I can.

We could really get it done if we were all there.....I really wish we could be there to help out.
But holy cow you got a lot done...you're moving fast!!! It's always overwhelming when you move into a new house....this last move here almost killed me because everything was in storage about 12 miles from our house.....and everything needed washed(clothes), and everything needed cleaned...
You stick with it...you'll have it done in no time...
