Sick!!!!

I am so sick right now!! We are still not signed. The appraiser screwed up and put the wrong price on it so the documents got drawn up wrong and everything has to be re done. As of now our contract is up and we are 3 days over, at a cost of $150 a day. If it goes on much longer there is a possibility that the bank could just get peeved and cancel the whole thing. It is now 1 pm on friday and I have no news. Once we DO finally sign, its at least a 3 day window (at least !) to fund, so if we by some miracle sign monday it would be a friday close. and that would put us over a thousand dollars.

Needless to say, I have had a stomach ache the size of the Grand Canyon, and I've had it day in and day out since we got back from Missourri 2 weeks ago. I can barely sleep, and eating is so unpleasant, it just goes right through me. It just keeps getting worse. One really stupid part is that my kids have been GONE on trips and things all week and I have been KIDLESS and have wasted al this time, now I'm going to have to move and paint with 5 bored kids under my feet. If it even happens. I really really am trying to stay positive, but this is way beyond ridiculous!

So theres a fricken update.

House!!

I neeed some good vibes, bloggers!! We are still waiting for 1 paper from the seller so we can draw docs..............positive energy.....positive energy..........

EDIT:

Well all of your positive energy helped because they got the stupid paper and we should be signing tomorrow. I would say something totally snarky here but I am being POSITIVE with my thoughts and energy. :D I'm even taking the question marks down off of the blog title. Hows that for positive??

Happy Father's Day!

Im lucky enough to have an awesome dad and also be married to an awesome dad!! Both of them love their children and families more than anything and are so loyal and loving.

My dad has Cade in Utah right now doing a musical about pioneers. He has gone to great lengths and expense for his passion and love of music and has willingly shared his talents with his children and grandchildren. My dad certainly has his quirks, but I love him and he is a great man. I love being his daughter!




Mark is also a great dad. He is always teaching them how to be, and about his heritage. His is such a strong person, I tell him all th time that e
s really a machine. He just does what needs to be done with a smile. I love him!

The poor girls guide to new furniture

You know how you just get sick of looking at your same stupid furniture after about a decade?? Especially when it is lame-o oak or has been trashed by your kids, and you've moved a bajillion times and just don't want to put old stuff in a new place? Heres your solution......Get out your spray cans......and paint it all one color. I chose black. 2 weeks ago I loaded everything into my garage and started spraying. Now instead of a bunch of random crappy furniture there is at least some sort of coordination. One great tool that I used was this little spray can nozzle that fits over the top of the cans and makes it a comfy trigger sprayer instead of having to push down on that little button and give yourself a hand cramp by your 3rd can. It was totally worth the 3 dollars. My armoire turned out awesome, I got some sweet crystal-like knobs for the doors that will look really good. I did the boys bunk beds, 2 side tables, 2 picture frames, Sadie's metal twin bed, and some metal candleholder thingys. The Armoire took me about 1 1/2 hour one day, and the rest of the stuff took me about 3 hours.






I still have to finish up the one bunk bed, I ran out of paint. For about 30 dollars in paint and about 4 hours of my time I will have 12 freshened up pieces to use in the new house. Which we are still waiting on papers for. I have a lump the size of a softball in my stomach.

ANYway........

Just be aware that if you are wearing flip-flops while spray painting, eventually your feet will become completely blackened from the overspray. You might have to go get a pedicure afterwards. :D
