Woke up at 4AM - now how unGodly is that!!!!!!!! Couldn't get back to sleep again so started to game plan the day and the next few days at that. Having learned a lesson from last week when I mowed our lawn in tremendous heat and sun I decided NOT to be stupid and do it earlier. So at 8AM I was out there mowing an acre of land. Got it all done and before the sun was really high and hot. Nice shower after and then onto the laundry. Am getting into packing mode as pretty soon we are moving to our new house. It's so weird as when I moved here my sons didn't want to come and now that I am moving 7 years later they don't want to leave HERE!!!!!!! Now I could see if I were taking them out of school but they are in college and have cars and can come back anytime they please. People do get odd, myself included!! Then we put this house on the market and SELL it. Nice house near the ski slopes so shouldn't take long to sell. Am feeling better after a nasty bout with food poisoning - thank goodness that is over. Now just getting ready for the move. Can't wait

Well a hot and humid Monday to all. Hit about 95 today and was HOTTTTTTTTT. On Saturday we went to the movies after seeing how well our new house is coming along YEAHHHH. Saw the Devil wears Prada and it was good!!!!! Then went to a restaurant in the mall to get a quick sandwich and oh boy did I regret that got food poisoning from hell. Was sick through today YUCH. Then this AM my great dog Daisy decided today was the day to have her pups so off we went to a small room with a whelping box where she had 5 pups but alas the last one was DOA and it was really sad. But she does have 3 great males and 1 female and she is well as are the pups so all is well. Now that she has given birth she has become a real chow hound and I'm feeding her as much as she wants as she will need the strength with 4 little ones. Hope tomorrow that I feel 100% again so I can start packing in earnest. Can't wait to move

Well today is my favorite day FRIDAY!!!! However I spent most of the night wide awake with my poodle who is VERY pregnant and due at any second. She fell asleep and that's when I decided that the dog knew more than I did and I went to sleep too. This AM she is still pregnant and happy as a lark. Me I'm sleepy - probably dopey too LOL. Am going to new house tomorrow and am excited by this as alot of work has been done which means closer to moving HURRAH!!!!!!!!! We also got our new phone numbers so it looks like this move is really gonna happen. Only started on this about a year or so ago. So now wait for my dog to bive birth to puppies and try to stay out of the sun with 90 degree heat. OUCH.

AHHHH another day dawns in NY. They say we are going to get bad weather this afternoon and wrote horrendous tales of what we are in store for. THEN they said there was a 30% chance of it happening. I turned to my husband and said doesn't that really mean that there is actually a 70% chance of it NOT happening. C'mon let's look at the glass 1/2 full not empty.
So my life goes on and I am not as upset as yesterday when the contractor drove me bonkers. Why is it that this stuff bothers you more when it is dark outside than in the AM. HMMMMMM
So we shall get over all of this and charge onward. Am considering teaching once I move. Should scare the kids to death LOL. I love to teach HS and would really like to take a stab at college. There is a community college near where I will be living and since I have a masters degree I should be able to teach SOMETHING. However, we shall leave money management and math OUT of that equation.
Well that's it for now I'm sure I may add to this later today as my life seems like an endless roller coaster with unexpected twists and turns at any unexpected time!!!!!!!!
Off to face the day.

Don't you love building a house. Here we were buying a modular house that ended up being our "dream" home and it is now ending up being the house that ATE NEW YORK. Delays I expected and with Mother Nature interfering with rain well guess what I got the delay. But now I got another shocker. I knew we were over budget and had a handle on it but spoke with the contractor and there is no way that the figure he quoted to me is the same that he quoted about a month ago. Like it's 20K off!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I need to sell my first born or something. What is it with contractors who seem to keep their own books. So I am upset and concerned and generally ticked off about the whole thing. Yeah I asked for a complete rundown OF ALL the figures but right now I am just to doggone upset and life is too short ya know.
