Ahhhhh, the heat!
There is a major heat wave going through the Midwest. Today, as of noon, it is 92 but feels like 101! Wow...that is hot...WITH humidity! This is not a 'dry heat' folks!
DD, DH and I went to the Ohio State Fair on Monday. It was HOT! It was suppose to get up to 93...but I am sure with this wave it was much hotter...and I was beat when I got home! We went on Monday to see Jeremy Camp in concert...it was awesome!
Well, I have a ton of phone calls to get done today. I am trying to get things caught up that have been falling to the wayside over the past few months! I will try to blog again soon!!
Happy Hump day!

I'm Baaaaaccccckkkkkk!
HI EVERYONE!!!
Long time no see I know. We finally got the house done except for the drainage problem outside...but we are going to hire someone to do that. The tenant has moved in and we are paying off bills and trying to stay cool.
DD went to a summer camp through our church for 4 weeks. It was just during the day, but it is finally over and now I can sleep in past 7 AM again!! LOL
My mother is only working temporary services still. Not even looking for a job! ARGH!!! She is still being lazy by sleeping all day...IN MY LIVINGROOM (that is where she put her bed because the stairs are too hard for her). She has to go upstairs to take a shower, so I don't see the problem! I cannot WAIT until she is gone.
I am not sure if I mentioned this earlier, but my brother's ex-girlfriend is pregnant and we are still trying to see if she will let DH and I adopt her...she is putting her up for adoption through her church. She is not wanting that, mostly I think, to be mean to my brother. He wants to be able to at least be in contact with her (it is a girl). She is due in October.
We are looking for another house now. We are hoping not to get as much of a fixer upper as this last one. We would like to get in and out in about 30 days compared to 3.5 months! We found one, HUD owned, but we don't know how long it would take to get that one in our possession. If we could get it...it just needs a roof, windows, flooring, new cabinets, garage door, service door for garage, and paint! Painting is all that WE would be doing!!!! Pray that we figure it out. We would like to get one that we can get done by September so that we can plan to go to FL at the end of September! I NEED a vacation!
Well, I am going to go. I have a ton of stuff to do. I will try to be more "regular" and check on everyone soon!

well, if this isn't grand!
Can you believe it...I finally get enough breathing room to start blogging semi-regularly and my life starts falling apart...well, not *falling* apart.
It finally happened...my mother lost her job. I am not sure what exactly happened, but she is laying in bed, in my living room (like she has been for the past 6 months) asleep...like nothing is wrong! I would love to go get some breakfast...kick back and watch some TV mindlessly....but someone has got to figure out how she is going to pay her bills...and since I am the one that manages...no "manages" her money (she pretty much tells me when she *needs* money...like to go see Clay Aiken- argh!!!!)... I am the one who is going to stress over the food, gas, clothing and not to mention her living here for free. What is going to be done?? I am just giving it to God...HE can make anything work!!!
Well, I just needed to get that out.
I hope everyone is doing well. I am going to try to get some stuff done with sleeping beauty downstairs in my livingroom. I know one thing...she needs to live upstairs if she wants to keep staying here for free!!
ARGH!!! ok, since I don't have anything nice to say...I am going! ;)
Thanks for all of the comments about the reunion and WL for it. Maybe we need to do a challenge...our challenges shold be $1 each session and who ever wins gets a $1 in their membership account to buy or keep their gold membership...I should see if that would be acceptable!! lol
Have a great weekend!!

Not going to believe this...
but my DH has decided to go to his 20 year class reunion...and of course, wants me to go along. I *really* need to lose 20 pounds now!! However, since it has taken me a year and a half to lose 30...I don't see it happening anytime soon...especially before August 25 or something like that!! PRAY FOR ME!
Well, I have the women's conference summer series for church tonight. Never been, but this year, I NEED it! It is the last Wednesday of every month through the summer. We will see how it goes!
I am off to get ready. TTYL....
THIS JUST IN...
The reunion is August 4th!!!!! Well...how much can I lose in 30 days!??!?!?! AARRGGHHHHHHHH! Somebody grab me some Alli! (just kidding)

Sorry it has been so long...
I have been super busy!
Updates:
We are *almost* done with the investment property! We just need to fix the drywall and re-drywall the garage, put up siding soffet on the exterior of the house, put back up the heat duct work, and put in AC! AC will be the final thing.
School is almost over for DD. All she needs to do is take the CAT and then it is over until we start up again. Actually, we school all year long because it is just easier! Plus, then we can take our vacation time whenever...like at Christmas to bake dozens of cookies without picking up a pencil! lol
WL wise...now I am stuck at 169. I am not going to change my ticker because I think it is due to sodium, TOM, and not a lot of water intake. That WILL change this week!
Well, I will check on you all...so know that I have been reading...even if I don't comment!!!!
Happy Summer!

Look at that ticker!!
I finally got out of the 170's!!! YEA for me! Don't ask me how...but at least I finally did it!
Also, if anyone here has a remedy for current stretch marks from mostly WL (and child rearing)...I am open to suggestions!
Well, off to the property...we are almost done. The largest part yet to do is the garage!

justa quick fly by...
I just wanted to stop in and blog for a moment. I am again off and running to "work" more on our property. Is it almost done? Almost! If you saw it before we started and see it now...yes, we have made progress. If you were to walk in today and see it...you would think that I am crazy to think that I am saying we are almost done. Positive thinking gals! lol
I still have not had time to recreate the sheet to see who is winning. I was hoping to be able to today...but, I have been on the phone all day trying to get people where and when they need to be there. ARGH!! So frustrating. Only person you can control is yourself...and a contractor cannot even do that! Well, at least the ones I am working with. Gas lines were to be done over a week ago so we can have hot water...and the water lines he did over 2 weeks ago are still leaking because he has not come back to fix it yet! See...
Well, off I must go. I hope everyone is losing losing losing.
Skinny thoughts and vibes!

Week 6 WI and computer update...
Please post week 6 here.
As for my computer...well, the info is gone, so in my "free time" between painting, sanding, etc etc on this house I am trying to recreate the score card to get the results...It is looking pretty close at this point...not a landslide like the last time!! As for me, I am losing a little in inches, but the scale is moving up!!!! CRAP!!!
Anyway, I will try to get something posted later this week!
Sorry gals for the lack of motivation!!! Keep going though because we are all watching!!!
