Nothing but joy in Brandyland

I am 3 days in without J and I am going banannas! I haven't slept in 2 nights because of fear of the unknown while my husband is flying across the world. Then last night the thunder and my darling daughter and her talking in her sleep. Hopefully tonight I will sleep like a log and will become refreshed for tomorrow. Things are okay here, but I do miss J and the girls sure do too. I just finished reading James Patterson's latest and I have to tell you I am a little surprised at how horrible the book was. It was purely lame. Sunday's at Tiffany's isn't worth your time.

8 years of Bliss

Today was our anniversary. We've been married for 8 years. 8 wonderful years... I was thinking back this morning as I woke to the morning I was getting married. I laid in bed that morning thinking about all that had to be done and all that I would have to do to get it done. I was so excited. As I laid in bed this morning all I could think about was that I didn't want to get out of bed. So different than that morning 8 years ago, huh? After 8 years and twins I just didn't want to get out of bed...Get out of bed is what I did, that was only because Abby wanted breakfast (darn her) and Marmaduke wanted outside. If only they could be self sufficient on the days I want to stay in bed! I have my root canal tomorrow, that's my anniversary present to myself. I did get flowers from J and they are beautiful and very much appreciated. I wasn't expecting them at all. I'm looking forward to 8 more years of Bliss!!!!

Shower door update

Yay! I finally have a shower door!!!!! I will post a pic of it as soon and I get the urge to go downstairs and use the camera.
I have had a very painful toothache since the 4th of July. It seems to be sitting in my sinus and causing undo stress to my head. Since I am a momma and I get no sick days, my children have been treading on my last and final nerve. Jeremy is somewhere "working" in Wisconsin/Detroit/Chicago and doesn't know when he'll be home. We'll make it, though because I'm a momma!!!!! (Oh Lord, hear my plea!!!!!) I have my root canal scheduled for Wednesday of next week. I'll let you know how it goes....

shower door drama

Sooo, this house we bought didn't come with a shower door for the master. The house is brand new and no one has lived in it yet. We asked the builder and he said he doesn't buy them for any of his houses. I went on the hunt for a shower door at the beginning of May. We still don't have one. I finally went with Lowe's after a long debate (yeah, right) on who to go with. Lowe's was the cheapest. No wonder, huh? The first door to come in was too short and on Friday they come with the "right" door and it's too tall. The installer is a piece of work himself and I just want a shower door. Is that too much to ask? I mean really.....

Settling in

So we've moved into our new home. We've gotten rid of the boxes and the garage looks like a war zone. The girls are really enjoying having a playroom again and I enjoy having all my stuff. Speaking of stuff, we have too much of it. We've lived without so much of it for 8 months that I feel like we don't really need it. I've already gone to Goodwill a thousand times.
We are really happy with the house and the neighborhood. We had the neighbors across the street over yesterday for a little cook out. We don't have grass in the backyard yet, so it makes it difficult to play back there. The girls finally got their swingset back from gma and gpas house. I'm still working on my masters and have been taking a 5 week class during all this moving stuff. It's been rough but I can see the light...

Moving

I hate moving...

Not a bad weekend

We haven't really done a lot this weekend. We're gearing up for the next 2 weekends, I think. Ran errands on Saturday and played outside on Sunday. The girls are really into making new friends where ever we are. They are playing with this little 2nd grader down the street today. They think she is "it". Not too sure momma wants her little girls playing with such an older girl...oh well...
We go tomorrow for the walk-thru of the house. I'm excited, but nervous. With everything that has happened with houses so far, I don't want to get giddy, just yet. I'll get giddy on Thursday around 2:30pm.
