Man oh Man, what a few months!
\n1. We tried to buy a house, but got thumbs down from the mortgage company after a preapproval, and after 6 weeks of waiting for approval. I was so heartbroken, but timing was<\/i> bad. My dh lost his job in June, then the records we had of rent payment for the previous 12 months were insufficient because we paid with money orders, blah, blah, blah. It was nightmare because I really had my heart set on this newly renovated Victorian. So we moved and are renting for another year to tie up all those loose ends that prevented us from getting the mortgage.
\n2. So we moved the day after Thanksgiving to Amsterdam, NY (home of Judge Going of The Judge Report<\/i>)<\/a>. We have a nice apartment. We planned on staying here for only a year, but I am soo tired from the move, I am not rushing.
\n3. We have electricity again, and my kids do not know what to do with themselves (that is a pro and a con).
\n4. My father got a stem cell replacement on December 6. His prognosis looks pretty good. He is just feeling pretty crappy.
\n5. We have been homeschooling using St. Thomas Aquinas Academy<\/a>. I am so far very pleased with them and recommend them highly.
\n6. My brother, Thomas, returned from Marine basic training December 2. It was so good to see him and spend time with him. Sadly, his visit was short lived as he returned for combat training New Year’s Day. Then he has some sort of other training, then he is off to Iraq. May God look out for him.
\n7. Please pray for the repose of the souls of two women-one is Lee Shelton. She was a family friend, and a very classy lady whom I will always think fondly of. The second is Marcia Hill, whom I did not know, but is the sister of another family friend, and I said I would pray for.
\n8. I have taken my brother’s old job washing dishes at the diner on weekends. I enjoy it very much because I get out for a bit, and make a few bucks for my Ouidad<\/a>ery, and other materialistic feminine urges (such as my cloth diaper fascination<\/a>), and John the cook and proprieter feeds me. Not sure if that is good or bad because I have no self control. When I am watching him every morning create Eggs Benedict, French Toast, and walnut, blueberry or chocolate chip pancakes, it takes too much will power to say “oh yheah, I’ll have the oatmeal.” My grandmother said “oh you’re going to gain more weight, and you can’t gain anymore!”
\nI have lots of stuff mulling around in my bizarre mind to talk about. Stay tuned…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
