Yesterday while letting out the dogs to do their business outside.

Scotty this one. He may look innocent but he isn’t.

I was opening the blind and he ran into the glass stepped back hard on my toe and sprain it. Isn’t that great? Being sarcastic. It hurt so badly! Now have to just deal with it because there isn’t anything that can be done to toes. A couple of years ago Koko stepped on my toe and broke it and it’s the same toe the second to last toe on my left foot. I know it’s not broken because I can move it but it’s all swollen and painful. Thanks Scotty. Ugh!

Scotty still not innocent.

Saw an animal on the other side of the fence yard we have at our new house. He pushed his way through the fence and got out. At night we had to go and look for him. Good thing he came back. Still though! Naughty! So we had to re-enforce the fence. Thanks Scotty again!

Funny story. We had to go to the grocery store and this old woman came up to us while we were walking and said “have to let them take the cart so feel like they are in power.” Referring to men. Funny! Then when we were leaving same old woman finds me when Jeff was paying and said “Have to take the change so they have no sense.” Showing me coins. What? It was just so funny! Old people can be silly.

Jeff found a great hutch for my collectibles! I have never had a hutch before but I wanted one because I dislike dusting. He found this hutch Facebook classifieds he only paid a hundred and fifty for it. It so worth way more in a furniture store.

Look all filled:

Hot, sweaty, mad, bossy, whiny, I’m sorry, repeat…

For two weeks this has been the process because we have two houses to clean and move.

You know once you get hot and sweaty anger is close to follow. Jeff and I have been mad at each other for two weeks. When Jeff gets mad he gets bossy. When I get mad I become whiny and I give up quickly. Then later we both say “I’m sorry.” Then forgive. It’s sort of funny once I think about it. But that has been life for two weeks.

We have clean our rented house which is okay but we have to clean up after Jeff’s dad. I thought I was a scatterbrain. Jeff’s dad Ken is a much more of a scatterbrain then me. We was supposed to get a sticker for his furniture but forgot. What to do with a very, very ugly couch and a chair? Good thing Goodwill took it. That couch was so ugly! It was orange and had a flower pots on it. Who thought that was a good design?

Then we had to clean carpets here and there. We realized that the house we rented no one cleaned the carpets! They were so digesting! Ew I walked around in that house for two years in someone else’s filth and I know they had a dog too. Yucky!

I usually don’t mind cleaning because I got a routine down. But cleaning two houses and after three people and two dogs. It was a lot of cleaning don’t really care about that. It’s the house we bought no one cleaned! Cleaning two houses really suck and I mean deep cleaning two houses.

Soon it will be all done. I can’t wait till that happens. I would like to just stay at the house we bought then go back to the rented house.

Soon I keep thinking. Soon!

Working Hard

After signing mounds of paper for our house we went to our house to look around. The last owners didn’t clean anything. It’s gross.

We look at the two bedroom and there are fingerprints and dirt on the walls. We already knew we were going to paint our bedroom. What we didn’t know that we were going to paint the extra bedroom which is going to be the office.

This weekend we painted our bedroom a navy blue. Then we painted the office which was white to a different white. Paint can really make a room.

Jeff and I are buying our first house together today! I am so excited.

What I learned there so many things they wanted from us. What people won’t tell how frustrating it can be to buy house.

Thanks to my wonderful husband to getting everything we need to buy our first house together. He did such a wonderful job. I could tell he was frustrated at times but for the most part kept his cool.

After we sign all the papers. I will take pictures and put them on a little later so you can see. Also we are going to paint our bedroom a different color, navy blue with white trim. Right now it’s just white. I can’t wait to move!

Happy Anniversary!

Today Jeff and I have been married for eight years! And we have been together for ten years! That is super awesome!

Wow eight years of marriage. Life is good. I always like the middle of life not really the beginning. I love just knowing Jeff. I love how sometimes he doesn’t have to say anything I know what he is thinking. The same goes for me, he just knows.

Thinking about the beginning. We have been through up and downs. Even in our downs we always find way to climb back up. I would say the hardest down we had I would say it was not being poor because we have been poor. Not my family drama where Jeff is awesome about always takes my side. No none of that I would say when Jeff’s mom died. That was the hardest. Also the hardest I think is Jeff’s dad remarrying. Yes we both like her but she will never be mom. Even though we do see a lot of mom in her, it will never be the same. That was the hardest so far.

Something that Jeff’s mom told me before we got married and I sometimes think about. And I think that it’s’ totally true. She told me that I will know Jeff better than her or his dad. Better than anyone in the world. True and same goes for him knowing me.

Sure we fight but we do not fight often. I like that I can say whatever. Jeff and I have no secrets between us. We talk about everything, I mean everything. We can just be ourselves around each other. It’s great!

This year like every year Jeff is making steak and mash potatoes. I thought it would be fun instead of alcohol to drink. To buy sparkling grape juice. I will take a picture of yummy food and attach when I can.

Happy Anniversary Jeff, I love you!

Yummy!

Sick!

Ugh I am sick and it’s all Jeff’s fault. Jeff got sick about five days ago. He said he got it from co-worker. I don’t doubt that but he didn’t have to share with me. We also went to my parent’s house last Saturday and on Sunday dad told me he had Strep throat and it’s contagious. So I just knew I was going to get something.

What’s ironic is early last week, I was thinking no one has gotten sick in a while. Shouldn’t had that thought. Sort of funny.

I just thought I was having allergies for two days. But then I got a sinus infection. I went to Fast Care on September 1 2015. They shouldn’t call that Fast Care because it took them over thirty minutes to see me. They also made me wear a mask. Have you ever worn one of those things? It’s hard to breathe in those and I wear glasses. My breath was fogging up my glasses.

I did have a funny thought while waiting. I was thinking if I had to wear this mask in a zombie apocalypse, I rather be infected. I know funny. All I was left with is my thoughts while waiting. In our Theda Care there isn’t any magazines anymore. Nothing to look at.

I use to be anti-looking at magazines because I would think of all the germs that could be on them. But lately have been thinking I use to look at them in the nineties and I use to love going to the library. What’s the difference now? At least now I have hand sanitizer.

Tuesday I went to Fast Care or Slow Care or hope you don’t die here Care. The doctor I saw was funny. He was all over the place and he talked really, really fast. Which I was trying really hard not to laugh. He got me some good drugs to take. I am hoping I feel better by this weekend.

Sunday September 6 2015 my mom is having a huge Labor Day/Birthday party at her house. We are making dessert. Monday September 7 2015 is Labor Day and it’s a day off.

I need to get better. Who likes being sick? Not me! Stupid sinus infection makes me feel like my head is going to explode. Also I could lead Santa’s sleigh with my nose being so red from blowing. The joys of being sick. Time for a nap. Good night. Zzzzzzzz……….

August 27, 2015 was Jeff’s birthday! On Wednesday his dad bought us delivery pizza for a present. It’s Jeff’s favorite thing to eat, pizza.

Yesterday Jeff turned (drum roll please) thirty nine! What an old man. Joking! Since Jeff is seven years older than me, I forever can tease him about it.

I can’t believe Jeff is going to forty next year. I remember celebrating his thirty with him. It was great. We were still dating and we celebrated it at his parent’s house. His mom made dinner and cake. Oh his mom would make a big production of Jeff’s birthday and then mine. It was awesome. We got cards in the mail and a lot of e-cards as well. At the time I didn’t think I would miss that. But now that she is gone I wish that still happened.

Thinking of that I sent Jeff a birthday card in the mail. He was surprised and it only took four days to get back to our house. He liked it. I think the little things are the greatest.

Another great thing is Jeff doesn’t look his age. If you look at Jeff you would say thirty three or so. He has such a baby face. But I could gush all day because I love him.

Happy birthday Jeff!

Just some things I have been thinking about lately.

My teeth I have been thinking a lot about them lately. I just had that tooth pulled and it left a huge hole in my mouth. Much bigger than any of the other teeth I had pulled out. Also the dentist said that the tooth died and that is why I was in so much pain. I have never had a tooth die before. She said that it was all black on the inside of the tooth. And it broke into pieces when she was taking it out. I have never had that happen before. Usually it just comes out in one chunk. Since it’s so huge it’s been sore and painful. This tooth has caused months of months of pain and still hurts. Just a different kinds of hurt.

Eating. Since now my mouth mirrors itself. Meaning on the left side of the mouth I am missing two teeth on the bottom. Also on that is side the screw for my crown next month. On the right side of my mouth I am missing two teeth on the top. Eating is horrible. I eat like I do not know how to use my mouth. I try to stay positive about it. Saying well I am on a new diet it’s called I have no teeth to eat food with. But its true chewing is hard when you have no molars to break things up. I mostly use my front teeth. Try eating food with your front teeth.

Money. I think everyone worries about money sometimes. As you know my father in law Ken is engaged. Even though we are happy for him he put us in a position where we are like oh shit what do we do now? We all live in the same house and share rent. But since he only spends four days here and the rest of the week with his fiancé he wanted to have reduce rent. Jeff and I can’t afford this house on our own. This house is one of the more expensive houses to rent in our town as well. Also what is super crappy in this town there isn’t anything to rent EVER!!! It’ so rare to find a house to rent. And when one pops up you almost have to be quick to get it because houses for rent go fast. We can live here it will be a little tight. I wish he would have said can I have reduce rent in like so many months. Not I want reduce rent now. Would have been nice to have that little buffer in between so we could plan better. We are not sure what to do.

I wish I could have one month this year where I don’t have to think about things so much. Being an adult is hard. Sometimes I wish I could be a kid again in the summer. Where I didn’t have to worry about such things. Strange because when I was kid I dreamed of being an adult. Now that I am one, I want to be a kid again.
