Long time No Blog!

No rest for the weary....or should that be no rest for the wicked?

I have been a bad, bad girl. I made a promise to myself to blog daily or at least every couple of days. I have been so busy with this move. We wrecked the car (Thank goodness no one was hurt) and had little problems that kept coming up with this entire process and it is still not finished.

When we moved in, we could not even take a shower. the bathtub was gritty rough and there was no shower. Chad said he swore skin had been peeled off his butt when he took a bath. We had to rig up a hand-held shower and the thing leeks. The tub is still a mess. We do have a shower in the basement...not too unpleasant, just a pain to go downstairs and very cold down there....want my shower in the bathroom

We still have the old house to clean. We can not seem to get garbage service. Seems the old tenants have not paid a huge bill and my landlords are responsible. No one will return my calls- the trashman or the landlords...so I may be forced to have the city take pics and mail them off to the owner with a nasty letter he said he will write. I really do not want that to happen. We have had some issues with electrical in the home. Some Chad has fixed. There were a lot of issues with things like missing keys and such that we had to contact the landlord about. I am afraid they are really slumlords and may not care about how crappy the house ends up. We want to stay and have no lease.....scary. We take care of any home we rent and consider it OUR home....hopefully the landlord does not decide they should have rented to someone who did not care if windows were missing or there was a huge hole in the bathroom floor from the leak.

Okay, enough of the negative. things will look up, they always do. I need to get to a tanning salon. the artifical 'sun' always makes me feel better. i will be job searching next week, cleaning and finishing up the old house and finishing up here. We are going to make our outside covered patio into a tiki lounge

I miss Kat. I do not think she is working too hard at working on herself there in Cali and still seems to be lured back into drama with her ex-boyfriend who lives here in Illinois. I will just keep the faith in her and keep communication open. She and her sister are not talking right now. Kat does not seem to understand some things...that people are worried about her. She changed her myspace email and I can not hack into it. Yes! i do read her myspace...I am sorry, she deserves no privacy until she earns it back. the only thing I ever considered off limits is my child's journal. I look at her myspace to see who she is talking too and that is how i found out she is talking to her Ex. Now I will have to rely on her telling me the truth...something you does not always do. It is terrible to experience your child trying to take their life and almost succeeding. I need time to trust she is in a better place and actions speak louder than words.

Wow...I need sun. Where the heck are the pink bubbles? I think I will stop writing in this entry and come back with a more positive attitude.
