From the staging of the house to sell, to open houses and living in a staged house (sucks!), to finally renting our house out and not being able to find a place to live...at one point we had 2 weeks to get out and nowhere to live. Stress!!! To Grace having a hard time in Kindergarten and trying ro decide what to do about it (and still deciding...I suggest holding back those fall birthday kids...)to the move, which is 10 times harder with kids than I ever though it could be. We moved very close to my work and the kids school, which is so awesome. But it is a MUCH smaller house with ONE bathroom! We came from a big house with 3 bathrooms!! But the neighborhood is so great, the kids can actually go outside and play! One of my new neighbors brought me flowers and welcomed us to the neighborhood, that has never happened before...So now it is unpacking, getting ready for Halloween, etc...Sadly, I may be done with the blog...It's been 3 years and I just feel like I have nothing new to say. I may still post pictures and definitely check up on my blog friends! Here are some Halloween pics.<br />Grace drew the face on hers and I carved it...I love this picture because Cameron looks like a Jack O' Lantern with his missing teeth!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFqkxytUvBzW0IxEKT5xeaJvv9B3U52M2nfkWjW5HQLG93A_KE4juxQqrJLWAfpV5iHHq03qqLw9F_GHtHo4EIs7NwVoicJeEhn7tv6m4w8pSSI_cP3N6sHOkDdKpZuNfxhMyi/s1600-h/IMG_7956.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFqkxytUvBzW0IxEKT5xeaJvv9B3U52M2nfkWjW5HQLG93A_KE4juxQqrJLWAfpV5iHHq03qqLw9F_GHtHo4EIs7NwVoicJeEhn7tv6m4w8pSSI_cP3N6sHOkDdKpZuNfxhMyi/s320/IMG_7956.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262293352829543186" /></a><br />Cameron's first Jack O' Lantern.

I can't think of anything to write that anyone would want to read. I think the pressure of the house might be getting to me. We have had zero interest. The other day Cameron spilled his juice in the car and I said "Oh Cameron, what a mess". And he said "what's the matter? You aren't going to sell the CAR are you??" Because that is the only reason keep things clean! I was so hoping this would all be done by the time School started and when I had to be back at work...hopefully when I come back I'll be in a happier place...Gracencameronsmomyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09233630250151366405noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14172732.post-30696403591753695372008-08-09T11:53:00.000-07:002008-08-09T19:51:01.325-07:004 years ago...<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2P_D690vw0c&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2P_D690vw0c&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />our Gracie girl joined our family.

But the worst thing yet, the realtor asked me to pick up a bunch of lemons to put in a big bowl on the counter for the open house. I went to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">the</span> store and put them in a bag and brought them up to the register. She rang them up and I did a double take. They are how much? They were $1.60 <em>each</em>. For. Lemons. I did not buy them. Anyone have a lemon tree? Or want to buy a house?Gracencameronsmomyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09233630250151366405noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14172732.post-5264019175780705872008-07-15T19:49:00.000-07:002008-07-15T20:03:13.919-07:00I don't do perfect (very well)I am having a rough week. I know you don't feel sorry for me because I just came back from a <em>two week</em> vacation, and that's fine. We now have T-minus 3 days until the first open house. And my head might explode before then. The house cleaners made me rush home and miss the incoming Kindergarten playgroup that I am in charge of, because they couldn't open the lock box. They couldn't put in a three letter code and open it. So I came home, only to have them tell me that they didn't have time to clean my house this week. <em>WHAT? </em>I sort of lost it. I didn't yell. or anything, but I was very exasperated and asked why they wasted my time making me drive all the way home? So I called the realtor and she convinced them to do the kitchen and baths. When I asked them how much to pay, he replied "I don't <em>care.</em> I am only doing this so I won't tarnish my relationship with the realtor" At this point, my kids are trying to kill each other and I am standing in the driveway crying. So I put them in the car and head out to...nowhere. I had nowhere to go. I had the dog in the car and nowhere to go. And they are still fighting. So we head to the store. The kids only get worse, asking for everything in sight and alternating screaming at each other. Gracie decides she wants Sprite, and I said no. Which starts an hour long screaming/kicking session. Scott happens to call at this time and I am bawling. The kids have really been at each other lately, and I am not sure what to do. That, combined with the fact that the house needs to be perfect, all the time, is putting me on edge...This too, shall pass...Gracencameronsmomyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09233630250151366405noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14172732.post-65173353018976283222008-07-12T17:01:00.000-07:002008-07-12T17:05:45.968-07:00How I am feeling right now...I was tagged by <a href="http://munsingerfamily.blogspot.com/">Susan</a>.

Partly, it is because when I am in the middle of a good book, I do not like to be interupted. For. any. reason. Something my children do not seem to understand! I can be a litle bit obssesive about my reading, staying up until all hours of the night and gerenerally ignoring all the other things I need to be doing. (like cooking and laundry!) So I only read a few books a year. Except when I am on vacation. I have finished 3 books so far. Then, I discovered Audiobooks on my ipod. I can listen to a book while watching my children in the pool and not being a neglectful parent. I can also listen while making lunch for them and in the dark, two things I cannot do while reading. They are a little on the expensive side, but totally worth it to me...<br />Here is what I have been reading/listening to and would highly reccomend:<br />The last summer of (you and me)<br />by Ann Brashares<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9L3PYeWQSIlbyosc6du1RJqR3f0lUqLkTrvdXSvSuQaX9KNSslQzStRoIf29eyLfiuN95lvwNDGON5iXBnHyLValwBDli1vmIlTSFuKhCrmgcCwsbZLAlHSiaHag3lYNVkUf-/s1600-h/the+last+summer.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9L3PYeWQSIlbyosc6du1RJqR3f0lUqLkTrvdXSvSuQaX9KNSslQzStRoIf29eyLfiuN95lvwNDGON5iXBnHyLValwBDli1vmIlTSFuKhCrmgcCwsbZLAlHSiaHag3lYNVkUf-/s320/the+last+summer.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219611780347253202" /></a><br />This was my first Audiobok, and I thought it was great.

I grew up close to the beach and we would spend all day there. Then, at night we would have a fire and watch fireworks. I have always wanted my children to experience that. But in Northern Ca, it is cold in July, and too foggy to even see any fireworks. The water at the beaches are too cold and the waves too dangerous to swim. So I was excited to see that our resort was having an "Independence day beach party" complete with a BBQ and fireworks. It seemed ironic that my children would get to live my childhood 4th of July dream-in <em>Mexico</em>. Still, I was excited. But it was not meant to be.

Put all the toys in the garage. Take a third of those things and give them away. Ta da! There isn't anything left to make a mess! We are staging our house to sell. I have never been so tired. We know it is not a good time to sell, but it is what we need to do.

We were having too much fun to worry. La, la,la, what fire?? When the ranger came by and asked "are you packed up?" and I said "No. why?" She said "because you need to be!", I knew they were serious. So our second night of camping was spent at the Hyatt. In the Hot tub. The kids thought it was great! Almost as great as camping! But the kids got along great (especially Austin and Grace, I am a little frightened of the teenage years!)
