Today, my cousins are coming visit. I can’t wait to play with Kris. She is cute and says the funniest things. I never know what will be coming out of her mouth next. She loves to go outside and see the horses across the street and to play with my mom’s music box so we will probably be doing a lot of that today. Other than that, she likes to run around the house and playing rough. She likes to play with her princesses and thinks she is one. That’s so cute!! I can’t believe she will be three already.

My mom is baking bread today. I will have to get her to teach me how when I move into my new house. I am going to have a big, beautiful kitchen and I plan on really using it. Not like my old place where the only thing that got used was the microwave. I actually want to cook and make use of my beautiful cabinets and brand new stove. I also have a dishwasher that I can’t wait to use. My hubby is happy about that. He won’t have to do the dishes anymore, or eat just TV dinners.

I can’t wait until 100 words gets back up and running. I think I am having some withdrawls. I got so used to writing everyday and now I can’t (at least not here). It’s funny how something turns into a habit so quickly. Just like living with my parents while my home is being finished. I don’t know what I will do when I actually won’t be spending all day here in a few weeks. I am right next door so I can visit often, but it won’t be the same. Still, I can’t wait until my house is finished.

It’s dark in here. It’s a little scary because I am afraid of the dark. I don’t like the shadows that the night light makes on the ceiling. I don’t like the way that I stub my toe on the way to the bathroom. I don’t like how I lie awake at night, just trying to fall asleep. I do everything I can, but sometimes it just takes a while. I have to count sheep, pray, count backwards, go through my schedule for the next day, etc. It drives me crazy!!! Turn on the light so I can wake up.

I can’t wait until tomorrow. The trimming people for the house are supposed to come early in the morning. Hopefully they do and don’t flake out on us at the last minute and make us wait some more. They have lots of cracks, doorframes, light fixtures and things to fix. I hope that it doesn’t take them too long to finish. My hubby says that they will probably come with a bunch of people and finish in one day, but my mom says that it will take them a few days, but we’ll see who’s right tomorrow (if they come).

Well, the trimmers came this morning. Yay!! My mom was right. Only 2 guys came (all the way from Alabama) and they said it would take 3 or 4 days to finish all of the work that they have to do. We went inside tonight after they were done for the day and it looked bad. I had huge white areas where they had to muddy up the cracks to put more sheetrock on. We really had much more cracks than we thought. I think it would be much easier for everyone if they would just build it on site.

Today I had to go to work. I wasn’t too happy. The kids are horrible. I don’t know how their parents even deal with them, but I guess that’s the answer though, they don’t really deal with them. There is no discipline and they just let them do whatever they want. It is so aggravating. I don’t even want to know how some of those kids will turn out when they get older. I can almost predict at the age of two which ones will go to jail and which ones will be good citizens. It is such a shame.

Our house was finished today, at least the inside was. We are still waiting on the skirting and the rest of the siding that goes on the sides. Hopefully they can come and do that soon. We plan on moving everything in this weekend. I don’t know if I am ready to do that yet, though. I am still in shock about how beautiful our new home is. I still can’t believe that we will be living there. I don’t think that I will get used to that very easily. I am so used to living in smaller, cramped spaces.

Today was a pretty easy day. My co-worker had a funeral to go to, so I had two different substitutes. We only had like ten kids there, so that made a big difference. The kid that normally cries all morning, didn’t. It was very nice having peace and quiet for a change in that classroom. I don’t know how I ever survived in there for close to eight years, no wonder I lost my brains a little. I feel so much better now that I have quit working in that room. I am not stressed like I used to be.

I am so glad that I took off of work on Monday and Tuesday. I will definitely need extra time to unpack. We have TONS of boxes in our house, but it doesn’t look so bad because this house is much bigger than our other one. I don’t know when we will be able to move in, but that’s okay because I am nervous about it. It doesn’t feel like my house yet. I hope that it does soon. I probably will have a few weeks of restless sleep (just like I did when we got into this workshop). Ugh!!!

I’m hungry. I just got out of bed and got dressed. I will be unpacking boxes today. I hope that I don’t feel too overwhelmed doing this. I will just have to take it one room at a time and if I start to feel stressed than I will just have to take a break and breathe. I think that I will have help today though. My little cousin is going to come and help me and maybe my aunt. My hubby and his mom will be doing our “stepping stone” patio today. I hope it turns out looking nice.

We unpacked all day yesterday and we are still unpacking today. I am ready for this to be over and things to be back to normal. Not that I will feel normal in my new house, but I will get used to it eventually. We even made a patio for the front today. It is really cute and we bought tons of stepping stones to make it. It cost almost $300, but it will last forever. We are very tired now. Those stepping stones were heavy. I don’t know if I will be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

Today I unpacked all day again. I woke up at 6:30 (when my hubby left for work) and I didn’t stop unpacking until 4:00. I am exhausted. I’m still not finished unpacking either. I only took breaks to eat and I wanted to get on my computer and check my blogs, but I don’t have the internet yet. My hubby said that I will get the internet this weekend (if he has the time to run the wires). We’ll see! I finished doing the closet and the entertainment center. I also finished up our master bathroom. I need more time!!

I planned on unpacking some more today, but I am bored with it. I know that I should be emptying boxes while I am off of work, but I am being lazy right now. Later I am just going to finish cutting up the boxes that I want and I am going to move the rest into the other room. I want to set up my art room today. I won’t be able to get it all done, but I will be able to get most of it. I might have to get an energy drink or something. I’m tired.

All I did tonight was watch TV. There were a couple of movies that I had taped to watch later and my shows were on, so I just stayed in front of the TV all night until I went to bed. I didn’t do anything else. I was supposed to unpack some more, but I am getting burnt out on that. I think I might wait a few days until I start to unpack again. We are going to buy our livingroom furniture this weekend, too. I don’t know what I’m going to do with all of this new stuff.

My tongue hurts and I have a sore throat. My tongue is full of ulcers because I ate pistachio nuts this weekend. I won’t be doing that again for a while. I don’t know why I have a sore throat. I am thinking it’s because the change in weather or maybe the new house with the formaldehyde and stuff that I am breathing in. I am also not used to having a ceiling fan, but I don’t know. I hope it goes away soon. I never get sick so I know that it can’t be that. I guess we’ll see!!

I am so glad to be finished with my art room. My hubby helped me a lot with that. It feels so good to be able to go in there and just create and be by myself for awhile. I even put a big, comfy chair in there so that I can sit and read whenever I feel like it. I feel so much better in this new, bigger house. It doesn’t feel as cramped as our old house did. I am really appreciating it. We even lit a fire a few nights ago. It was awesome to watch it.

We bought new furniture today. I am so excited about that. My living room looks so homey now. My hubby has even put up some pictures on the wall, so that helps out with the look of the house, too. I don’t know when we will get the rest of the stuff up on the wall, but I know that it will take time. It has only been a week since we have lived here. I know that we can’t do everything all at once. We just need to learn some patience in that department. We want everything done already.

Today, I am just watching Scary Movie 2. It’s playing on TV while I am blogging. I love to just play on the internet. It gives me stuff to do. I have lots of blogs to read and I am always looking for new ones to read. It is fun learning about other people’s lives and how they do their artwork and stuff. I try to read them everyday, but lately I have been very busy with our new home. I am afraid I might be busy with this for a while. We still have boxes to unpack, just knick-knacks.

I am just sitting here not doing a thing. I am not in a very good mood and I am not sure why. Oh well, I guess I just need to get a good night’s sleep. I feel like I am sleeping well, but I guess subconsciously I am not. I don’t know. I just don’t know. My hubby is trying to burn his sister’s wedding video and it’s not working. Things keep going wrong and he doesn’t know what they are. He is so aggravated with that. I hope he figures it out soon. She’s gonna complain anyway. Ugh!!

Even though I had an easy day yesterday, I am glad that it is over. I was so tired. Today is Tuesday, so it should be better. We have a few kids missing at work because of fever and sickness so it should be a pretty easy day. I am just rambling. I am totally bored and want to be doing something fun. I don’t know what though. I am not a very fun person. I guess that I could try harder, but it’s hard to be a fun person at home. I guess I will go and do artwork.

I think feelings are just our bodies way of reacting to our environment. I can’t go by my feelings very often because most of the time, they are wrong. I have depression so I think that that gets in the way sometimes. My medicine helps me to avoid my feelings which I think is a good thing (most of the time). I can’t always face them and the meds help me to let go and have some fun sometimes. I can totally tell when I forget to take it though, because I start to feel down in the dumps again.

My hubby isn’t paying attention to me right now. He’s in the computer room just messing around with some DVD or something. I don’t like when he does that, but I guess we are even because I am just sitting here messing on my computer too. In our old house though, the computer was in the living room and he still felt close to me, but in this house, he feels so far away across the house. He will come in here in a minute though, because I know that he can’t stand to be away from me that long.

I am so happy that today is my last day working in this toddler room. I am really so tired of dealing with the set of twins that they have in that room. They are just horrible in their behavior. I just want to shout at the parents that they don’t know what they are doing to their child. Oh well, he is not my child to deal with. Thank goodness I can send them home at the end of the day. I don’t know what I would do if I had to take them home with me. Go crazy!!

I don’t know what we will be doing today. I think tonight we will be lighting a fire and making smores. I am really enjoying our fireplace. I like just sitting there and watching it, even if it is just for a few hours at a time. Last night we didn’t get home until almost midnight. My hubby had to work late (for inventory) and I wanted to go with him because I don’t like to be at home by myself. We ended up having a good time. His boss cooked for us and I ended up helping him count.

My hubby is watching Ghost Hunters right now. I really can’t stand this show because I don’t believe in ghosts. I am not sure if he does or not, but he just really likes this show. We record them with our DVR for him to watch later. I don’t normally watch them with him, but I just happen to be in the living room right now. I sometimes have bad dreams after watching this too. I don’t like ANYTHING that is scary. I very, very rarely watch scary stuff at all. I HATE scary stuff. I am such a baby!!

At first, I thought it would be hard to type just 100 words as one time, but it has really become easier. I have realized as I type everyday, my mind is just naturally stopping at 100 words. I just type what I feel like it that day until I feel the need to stop and usually when I count my words at the end it equals to exactly 100 and I don’t have to change anything at all. I think that is the point of this exercise; to get to say what you want without having to change it.

I am tired today. I don’t know why. I went to bed at a decent time and I didn’t wake up until almost nine. I guess my body just feels the need to rest some more. I feel like sitting here and playing on the internet all day. There are lots of videos I want to watch on you tube and stuff. I would like to learn some new techniques for my art journaling. I feel like my pages are too simple and not layered enough. I will be working in my art room later today. I need to think.

I am just sitting here watching TV and visiting with my aunt. She came to pick some money up. I am watching America’s Next Top Model. I love this show. I missed the first 10 minutes of it because we were talking, but oh well. I can watch the rerun of it next week. I forgot to put it on record. I won’t make that mistake again. I am really tired today. I was supposed to be exercising right now, but I don’t feel like it. Not that I ever feel like it, but I will ride the bike later.

I had to work today. I wasn’t happy that I had to stay all day, but it was easy. I only had like seven kids so it wasn’t hard. Tomorrow is the Halloween party and I am glad that I have plans already so I don’t have to work it. Some of the parents are coming to stay for the party (which really is nothing) and I am glad that I won’t be there. The kids totally act up when their parents are there. Anyway, I have to drive my aunt’s car home because my parents still have my car.

Today is Halloween and I didn’t do anything special. All I did was sit at home and watch TV. I slept late, then watched a few shows. My parents came home today so I went to see them this morning. They showed me all the new stuff they bought (which wasn’t much), but some of it was cool. I went shopping after that. I had to buy my little cousin her birthday gift for tomorrow. She is having her first sleep over and I think she is going to have such a fun time. We are having a bonfire. Yay!!!
