Mr. D and the kids are off to a family reunion this weekend. I was planning on staying home and going to a baptism for a good friend of mine and maybe doing a little shopping too. Well, the baptism got pushed back another week, I have to feed all of the animals, teach our Sunday school class on Sunday, and speak in sacrament meeting because technically it's our last Sunday in this particular ward. I was definitely dooped.
So much for that relaxing weekend. I really need to start packing my house up. At least the things I can live without. But I have to drive into Mesa to meet with the guy making our marble bathtub. Then I get to rush back and feed the animals before they moo and bray the whole neighborhood to death. Fun.
When did my life get so crazy? I remember a good stretch of time where I did nothing but take care of my house and the food portion of our lives. Now I am living out of my car all day and falling into bed at 6:00 p.m. exhausted. Thank heavens this isn't going to last forever. I am really counting on that. Should we say 2 months from now, it being back to normal? We'll see.

Move Along People. Nothing to see here.
I feel a little like a fish in a fishbowl. Everyone is stopping to stare as they go by. I don't understand why though. Our life is not that interesting. Believe me.
I have people calling me everyday asking me how things are going, what's new, and how the house is coming. I almost want to say," It's the same as it was yesterday." Exciting, I know. And then we get the people who are blunt and say, "You're still here? When are you moving?". We want to move! You have no idea how badly. We have neighbors that are watching our front yard like hawks. They notice how long it's been since we've mowed and they definitley let us know how irritated they are that we haven't kept it up.
I feel stuck. I can't pack. The progress on the house has slowed to a screeching halt, and I have no money to get out and do things. I sit at home in my wreck of a house and stare at it for a few hours thinking about how I don't want to be here anymore. My life is chaos and I'm not happy about it. I have the same routine every day and it's really boring.
I wish I could just go to Sam's Club and stock up on everything, bring it home, and actually have a place to store it. Right now everything is out in the open where you can trip on it, kick it out of the way, or simply ignore after 2 weeks of seeing it. It's unsettling. I have never lived like this in my entire life and it's getting on my nerves. I miss the cleanliness and order of a well put together house. I can't wait for that.

I'm so excited!!!!!
I think it's important to be grateful for the little things in life. Like getting your stinking braces off finally. My husband says he's gonna miss them. Uh huh. He said it with sarcasm dripping from his words. Stinker. I think the thing I am most excited about is getting my teeth bleached. I have always wanted to have a gorgeous white smile and now I get to. I am a lucky girl.
Another great thing is my hubby found a stainless steel refrigerator. The only problem is someone left a turkey inside of it with it turned off. Yummy. But I'm not one to complain so we'll bust out the bleach and the cleaning gloves and start scrubbing. Hopefully it's a keeper. That would save us a lot of money. Although, the new Kitchenaid refrigerator's are lovely. Hmmmmm. I can dream right?

Bring It On!!!!!!
I am dead tired these days. My speech is slurred, my thoughts are extremely random, and I can still sleep all night and wake up exhausted. So since I can't get any more tired, I say BRING IT ON! I will handle whatever comes my way.
My days are blurring together. I had to sit down today and really try hard to remember what I did this week. What did I do that was even important? This is what I can remember. 1. Spent a lot of time at the new house. 2. Talked to the electrician. 3. Got a guy fired for being rude to me and laughing at my rubberbands on my braces. Serves him right. You don't make fun of the lady paying you. 3. Took the kids to McDonald's twice in one day because I didn't have time to go home and cook. 4. Cleaned the bathrooms. They were a little scary. 5. Took a shower somewhere in there. This is all I can remember right now and they didn't even necessarily happen in that order. Yikes.
I get my braces off on July 20. Now that I have written it on cyberspace it must be really happening. Now the orthodontist can't change his mind and keep them on longer. :) Let's hope. There is nothing more pitiful than a 30 year old woman that looks like she's trying to be 13. I can't wait to smile and not have to worry about something from lunch being stuck in my braces. That will be amazing. And I know MR. D can't wait to smooch me without all of the hardware in there.
I have 2 weeks to get my kids school shopping done. I don't know how that is going to happen considering that I have 0 energy left. Maybe I can snag one of those motorized carts at the store. That would help. Just the thought of taking 3 boys shopping is enough to make me sick. They hate it. They whine about trying on clothes, they whine about the uniforms, and they whine about being tired. By the end of the day I am ready to give them to the next person that walks by. Unfortunately I have put it off for as long as I can and it has to be done. A necessary evil.
So bring it on.
