I'm Tired

It’s been more than a month since I blogged. I have a ton of crap I have wanted to share, vent about, and or cry about but just haven’t had time. I will try to summarize the last month because I know that inquiring minds want to know [sarcasm].

1. My sister and her husband and my goddaughter were out here in Cali for a couple of weeks and stood with my family and me. That was absolutely wonderful. And when they left it was like someone had taken my heart and threw it down the garbage disposal. I need my sister. I miss my sister.
2. The Mr. is good. Driving me insane as usual and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
3. IG is doing well at his new high school and on the baseball team. I have his annual IEP upcoming so I am excited to hear what they have to say.
4. NG made honor roll.
5. On November 1, 2010 we found out we had three weeks to find a new home to rent, pack, and move. The fucktards owners of the house we were renting lost the home in foreclose. Don’t get me wrong I have BTDT but I didn’t rent my home out to another family in the process and turn their lives upside down too. Finding a home that met all the needs of our household was about as fun as a lobotomy. Then of course there was the fear that we would rent another home and end up in the same situation. Renting sucks.
6. During the above process on a brighter note we found out that we were looking at July of 2011 when we would be able to go back out into the real estate market and buy again. Our credit is also on the rise. Recovery from BK is looking good – we are on target. However, we are realistically probably more like a year or two away from buying a home again.
7. We moved on November 20^th and a week later I am unpacked and even have all the Christmas decorations up [yes I am tooting my own horn]. Well all is done except the outside lights but that is not my job. The new house is great and I am enjoying it and so is the rest of the family. The kids love it. Their rooms are a bit smaller than they had before but they are not complaining.
8.  On November 22^nd my baby, IG, turned 17. GULP.
9. Thanksgiving was really nice. We spent it with my in-laws and it was a really good day.
10. I missed out on the Black Friday deals that I was trying to catch online. Shocking.
11. Work is work.
12. NG has re-written her letter to Santa 12 times. Seriously I am contemplating giving her coal for driving me nuts.

So that’s it in a nutshell.
