Another Boring Post

Okay, so this is a boring picture less post because I haven't set up our Internet yet. I am on my in law's computer with no access to pics. We moved into our new house last weekend and I think I am going crazy because I seem to have the worst luck (which is nothing new). We moved in even though not everything was completely finished. We hadn't painted the kitchen because the drywall wasn't done right, but we thought it would be no big deal to move in and do it after. First, I need to start by saying our bedroom and kitchen were both wallpapered and then painted over; so, we had a guy come texture the bedroom and mud the wallpaper seams in the kitchen. When the guy finished, I was a little sceptical that I would still see the seams in both the kitchen and bedroom but the guy assured me I wouldn't once it was primed and painted. I asked him like 10 times if he was sure because I was not too convinced. Well, sure enough after the painters primed and painted, I still could pick out almost every seam. Being the perfectionist that I am, I made the guy come back and fix his work and I decided I wanted him to do a Santa Fe texture in the kitchen. Then, the painters had to reprime and repaint our bedroom and finish the kitchen; so, for the last few days we have been homeless. We did not want to expose Talan to all the drywall dust and paint fumes so we have been staying at the Arnetts.

Although I am excited go back to our own home, I would like it better if it was completely furnished (but that is not going to happen). Meanwhile, the people delivering our washer and dryer were supposed to come on the Saturday we moved in. We arrived to our house and found a "Sorry we missed you" note on the door. They were supposed to call and tell me the arrival time, but I never got a phone call. I called the company and, of course, they had the wrong phone number. We rescheduled for Tuesday. Tuesday rolls around and they deliver my new, wonderful, maytag frontloader washer and dryer and, what do you know, the glass on the washer is cracked. Perfect, rescheduled again. Then, I am totally stoked because Directv is having a moving special where if your order a certain package you get an HD DVR for free; so, I signed us up. I schedule an appointment for Wednesday and I wait around all day for the guy to come. I get several phone calls telling me they are behind schedule. Finally at 6:30pm we get a phone call saying that someone will be there in 30min. I was like seriously how are you going to put up a new satellite in the dark; you need to come back first thing tomorrow; I am done waiting on you guys. Thankfully, they did show up first thing the next morning, but just my luck, they have the wrong order. They had us down for a a reguler satellite and dvr not an HD! Was I surprised, absolutely not; had to reschedule again and still wating....

In the midst of all this Jason and I get really sick. Great timing....I realized that there is no point in stressing over these small setbacks. The migraines and zits are not worth it. I know these are petty little complaints compared to the major disasters going on in our country right now. I bet most people who will read this probably think I am some spoiled little girl that doesn't have a clue about real life hardships. I'm not posting this to vent, but just to update and our first home experience. I know everything will be worth it in the end.

Anyway, the kids started Pre-k and they are loving it. It is so nice to have them in school everyday even if they aren't gone all day. Ha Ha. I love them to death but I enjoy my time when they are gone. Talan is getting so big. He laughs and talks so much and he is just as chunky as ever. I haven't taken pics in a while and I am going to try to take some tomorrow. He will be 4 months next Saturday and is still the sweetest, best baby ever.

Sorry for the boring post, but at least you know why I haven't been blogging much
