GOOD LUCK GIRLS ON YOUR TEST TOMORROW, I WILL CHECK YOUR BLOG AT SOME POINT AFTER 5PM. MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU. LOVE YOU CUZ'ES!!

Hi

I really have nothing to say, I just felt like blogging. I keep reading my cousins blog wondering what her secret is. It is killing me. My theory is that one of her embryos "split" making twins, and they implanted another egg on top of that, making a whopping 3 babies. That would be rad.

ONE WEEK UNTIL THE ELECTION!!
I voted by mail, so I am done already. I am very excited to see the out come, in many areas.

Sleep little baby, sleep

Well, I think we are on the edge of naps going away. I put Bella down about 30-45 minutes ago, and she is just having a blast playing, but not sleeping. I can hear her squealing, thumping and talking. I have also heard the distinct sounds of her Cabbage Patch Kids hitting the floor (twins, they have both gone over). I NEED her to take naps. I will go crazy if she is done with naps. We went through this yesterday too, and it took her 75 minutes to fall asleep, and then I had to get her up a short time later to go pick up Spencer at school. She gets a ton of sleep at night, about 10-11 hours, so I am sure that is why she is not napping any more. That and she is getting old :( .

So, being a home owner can suck ass. Just within the last week this has happened... We found the roof upstairs has been leaking and the walls were wet. Water has pooled under the paint making little pockets of water. Great, I know. My mom is freaking me out about mold, but until we know that the leak is fixed, we cant really do anything about the drywall. I am sure that this will be a huge pain in my ass.

Then... a few months after we moved in, Spencer accidentally dropped a glass in the bathroom sink down stairs and cracked it. It was fine, not leaking, but in the last few weeks the crack has gotten bigger and bigger. Yesterday it gave out. We had to replace it. It was a pedestal sink, and we decided to get a vanity. I love the choice I made, however, nothing is ever as easy as it should be. It would have been fine, but there is a baseboard making it so the sink can not be pushed up to the wall (aka, the way to glue it down). We then went to pull the baseboard out when Johns 5-in-1 broke off behind it. That is when he decided he was done for the night. So, we still have no sink in the bathroom, and now have to paint because the baseboard took allot of paint off with it. Damn it. Where is the freaking landlord when you need him!! We plan on redoing the entire bathroom some day, rearranging it so it flows better, but we just can not afford that project right now. John wants to just do it now, what better time, but again, we can not afford it. Not with the holidays coming up, and them cutting our hours back at work for the season.

So all this comes at a wonderful time. I still have to make Halloween costumes, a coffin, a guillotine, work, clean ect..... Wow, I want to regress and be a baby again. I want my mommy again.

2008 District Cashier Olympics

Well last night was the District Cashier Olympics. It was crazy, I had no idea how crazy Home Depot people were. It was very loud, there were cheers, and there were costumes. We had to come up with a theme, and I chose before realizing how freaking crazy those people were. We went with the 60's/70's. I tie dyed some shirts, and iron-on'ed our names, store number and some rad sayings on the back. It looked ok, but compared to the others, it was sort of boring.
The event itself was sooo fun. Words can not express how freaking crazy it was, if you ever get the chance to partake in this event (a friend works there, or family member), you must do it.



Here are the back of the shirts I made. Vanessa's said "Can you dig it?", Andrew's said "Keep on Trucking", Nate's said "Outa site", and Brandy's said Groovy". You cant see mine, but it said "What it is jive turkey".

Andrew, Vanessa and myself posing with Homer D. Poe!!! Cool Huh!!
All the crazy cashiers, and other THD employees. Just crazy!!
Showing her pride, for the store too!!

Vanessa and Andrew on the way, we are super excited, can you tell?!?!
This would be our ASM Nate. Best picture ever!!! I am so proud of him for actually following through with wearing this. Now that is a man!!
Shaft, shut you mouth!!
Group picture. Love it.
Andrew during the ringing contest. We did not win any prizes, but there were 3 districts there, each district had at least 10 stores. That is 30 cashiers competing. He only missed one, but it was a timed event too. We are still proud of the work Vanessa and Andrew did.

Count down to Halloween

Well, I only have a few more days left to make the coffin. I am a bit stressed. To be honest, there are better things I could be spending my money on then more decorations, but I don't want to get into how much money I do or do not have. I am making the coffin out of foam board, duct taped together. I found the plans on the internet, and think it will turn out really well. Spooky blues Halloween, look into it, it is way cool. I am only going to make one now, but I will try to make at least one more before next Halloween. We still have 4 of the head stones left, so we are only going to use those this year. I really let time get away from me, and hope to be more organized next year, yeah right. Do you think that time will ever slow down? Yeah, I did not think so. Oh well.

Well, we have lived in our house for a year now. Speaking of time flying. Wow. Bella is going to be 2 in just weeks, and my son is driving now. Ok, not yet, but he may as well be. Turn turn...
