On The Road Again...

Hubby had a long talk with his boss last night and it was strongly suggested that he take this promotion. If he doesn't he won't get another chance at it---and it's something he really wants to do. Plus, it will be easier on his spine, which is a biggie as he's had so much trouble with his back lately.

Add that to the fact that Ally is thrilled beyond measure that she'll be able to go to Middle School with her cousin Nicole. They've been burning up the phone wires discussing classes and fashion and people, not necessarily in that order.

Apparently everyone wants to move except me.

But I will. I will put on the Mother of all Garage Sales, sell off nearly everything we own, put my beautiful new home up for rent and move back home into the house I grew up in. Actually, we'll be splitting our time between there and my sister's travel trailer in order to get the kids into the school district they want to be in.

Yes, we'll finally have reached that pinnacle of success that we scarcely dared dream of: Trailer Trash.

Don't be jealous. We know this is a lofty and out-of-reach goal for most of you. Don't give up on your dream.



Ayup. Live the dream baby. Live the dream.

    HA! That was a great post. It sounds like it will be a good move for your family. I don't know what area you are moving to, but Brett and I love the whole Seattle area after living on Capital Hill. We spent a lot of time downtown, in the U-district, at Greenlake, Ballard, Queen Anne...we love it all! It is a great place.

    Kim, it's in Greenlake. It's one of those really cool older houses. I love Greenlake. The other place is in Shoreline. I LOVE Queen Anne, hubby's grandma lived there and had this amazing house with a view of the Space Needle. I'm not sure I'd want to live on Capitol Hill with kids tho.

    I write for the weekly Queen Anne News, which is fun.

    Steve, you big ole flirt you. As I recall correctly, you're married as well!

    We loooove the older houses in Greenlake. We looked at a few ten years ago when $300,000 for a house seemed like a fortune. I doubt you can get a shack for that there now.

    That is neat that you write for the Queen Anne News. Is it accessible online?

    Steve, Steve, Steve..you do know that picture isn't me, right? If not, here's a WHACK upside your head, my Aussie friend.

    Dave, it's a chance I've got to take. You know Tommy is my one true blogger-love, right? :)

    Kim, you're right, those places are a fortune and a half now! We'll have to meet up at Greenlake with the kids sometime!

    Oh, and Steve? I accidentally hit 'reject' on one of your comments here. SO SORRY!

    Okay, quick question...if his job is in Everett why don't you move to Everett??? It's cheaper AND you'd be close to Cassie's boyfriend!

    Sarah, I would move to Everett but the kids want to go back to their old school district! Plus, we got the added benefit of living with my daddy for a bit. Yee haw.

    OHmommy, doesn't it just?

    So it's a mullet for the old man and crystal meth and a bottle of tequila for dinner. Bit like round here.

Online Friends

I'm sure you've heard by now that blue is the new black, forty is the new thirty and they're lying through their teeth when they say that last thing. Also, imaginary childhood friends (you know you had one) have been replaced with online friends. They're the same in that no one ever really sees them, but you talk to them, you play with them, your other friends and family think you're just this side of a restraining jacket and you're a lot older than you were when you first had friends you never saw. Sure they're real you might say in that mocking tone you have . Well stop that. Save your mocking for later on when I tell you all about my Internet friends. No, I can't see them, or touch them, although some of them have asked me....um, well, we'll go into that later. People have become friends with other people across the world, sometimes they've become friends with people they'd never become friends with in RL. That means real life for ...

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth...

People are rude

I'm whining today. I think I have the right. My friend's mom sells Cookie Lee Jewelry and I agreed to host a party for her at my home tonight. I sent out about twenty invitations via the mail and I only had two people call me to say they couldn't come. Two. Two kind people called to let me know they would not be able to make it. The rest ignored the invitation. I cleaned my house, I made two apple crisps. This afternoon I called everyone I sent invitations to. I know people are busy. I get that. it's not that I'm not busy either. I'm just...disappointed in people. I feel let down. Silly of me, huh? But I do. Good thing I have apple crisp and vanilla ice cream for my family tonight. On a positive note, I went to the pool this morning and had a nice workout. Felt better for having done that and plan on going tomorrow as well. Now I'm getting the 'what's for dinner mooooom???' queries. I think tonight it will be fast food. I...
