Life on my mind..

Finally sitting down to relax for a bit. I'm tired and wore out but my little escape is this great cup of coffee.. I am hoping it will get me through the 3rd act before getting into bed. I am tired and need the help!

I sooooo wish..

I had this milky bath waiting on me. Guess I will have to do it myself...

I am going to enjoy every second soaking in the bath.

Got so much stuff going on right now that its hard to keep it all straight in my head. The calender is helping but I just need to get the energy and motivation to get it done. I hate the idea of going back to do the rest of my community service. I hated that place. I am hoping tomorrow I can stay to myself out of the way and just bare it through it. I am sure not getting up early to go.. I will do it in the afternoon. The kids are heading out tomorrow evening going downtown to hang out so I am going to keep the baby and get things done around here. I have to pick up the house some because on Friday our house sitter is going to stay here so I can't leave it too messy!

So its confirmed.. we got this house!!

It needs a little work in the yard but its really nice inside..I can't wait to show you pictures.. Ohhh.. the guy from house # 6 ( the big A frame ) called Scott tonight and left a message asking for him to call.. Probably figures that he would call after we signed the lease on this one. But if he says yes we can move in.. we will revisit both of them and figure out what to do. We are suppose to move into this one on the 16th of September. That means we come back from the cruise and start packing right away. Oy! But at least we are out of this small place!

After my bubble bath I intend on ..

sending out some emails to friends. I am hoping that I can find the quite place to write. Lots to say!!

Wish you all a very beautiful night!

Sweet Dreams

I always love dreaming..

Dreams are beautiful things.

 From fairytales to adventures it's basically like your mind writing a novel!!!

So the next time you are going to bed, promise yourself that when you wake up you'll immediately try and remember what you just dreamed!!!

And feel free to email me and tell me about it!

kishajaggers@aol.com

............................................................................................

I wasn't going to write anything else for the night but I changed my mind!

By the way.. comments only through email are working great. I get more people talking to me now than I did before.. Who would have guessed right? But I think since you have to sign in to leave a comment, email is actually easier sometimes. Thanks everyone for adjusting. I really felt it was the right thing to do and I am very happy to see that people still have things to say.. but the nasty stuff is gone. I haven't had one mean email. That might change now.. but its a much better way of controlling the crazy people out there!

So how did every one's Sunday go?

It went pretty easy for us. Scott got up and went to play golf.. He came home and took a nap while I straightened things up a bit around here. I decided late last night that today was going to be as easy as I wanted it to be. I was tired and sad when I went to bed last night and today was about taking it easy.. and not letting anything more bother me..

So we had to go look at that house tonight..

Here are the few pictures from it..

Here is the front.. Its a nice home.. but needs some flowers and love around the outside!

It has this deck on the back off the kitchen area..

The right side of the house..

The left side..

Neighbors across the street..

So we went in. There was a family of 4 or maybe 5 still living inside.So I didn't get any pictures. A lot of the house was already packed up. But as Scott and I walked through it.. it was much nicer than either of us expected. So we called the owner and told them we loved it. So tomorrow we are filling out the application and we will have to wait to see if they approve us! Lets hope so!

Scott and I ran by the grocery on the way home... we were ready for an adult friendly meal.

Got some steaks on the indoor grill. I would have put them on the outside grill but was out of charcoal and didn't realize it until it was time to cook..

Cut up some asparagus and put some potatoes in the oven..

Steamed the asparagus..

and dinner was served!!

We both loved it.. I sure miss the kids but I don't miss the corn dogs,  chicken nuggets, and all the kid food!

Also today in the mail came a new necklace that I ordered..

Its the top one.. I think its really pretty.. Its kinda heavy so I don't see myself wearing this every day but I think it will jazz up a sweater in the fall or just add a little more sparkle to any outfit!

After dinner we sat around just being lazy. Scott eventually went back into the bedroom, giving me some alone time.. I needed it... I used it to ..

Paint my nails.. Yep.. I went red this time.. Can you believe it!!?? And I am shocked that I didn't make a mess of my nails! I had to wait patiently for them to dry but with this Sally Hansen Insta Dri polish it makes it a lot easier! This color is # 280 ~ Rapid Red ~ . Its so strange looking down and seeing my nails red. I don't know what made me pick red but I did!

Well..

these 2 start school tomorrow/today. Its really sad that I am not there with them for this big day of theirs. God.. I hate it.. I really do. But I want them to have a great day.. a great year.. and fill those brains up with knowledge. Those kids are my heart.. No other person on this planet makes my heart melt like they do. I got a couple of emails about that ex husband of mine.. and I appreciate the support. Its not easy but I must say that God himself has not invented the man that will stand between me and my kids. So I will deal with the ex husband and just keep moving forward. Hes just a person.. and no better than anyone else..but I can assure you he feels he is.. Not many people can tolerate him for any length of time.. hopefully that won't happen with the kids. I want them to love him. But it would sure be nice if he grew up quicker than they do or we are all in trouble!

Ohhhh.. here is the lamp I got yesterday at Cracker Barrel..

Is that not the cutest thing! I love it.. I put it in the bedroom but I thought it was so cute that I had to put it out where people could see it! I think if I find another one.. I might just have to pack it up and send it off to my friend in California! I think she would love it too!

I just realized I am out of sleeping pills.. Not good..I would run out but its late for that. The nearest gas station is 10 minutes away.. So looks I am going to be digging through the cabinets trying to find some kind of cold medicine to knock me out. I have serious problems falling asleep.. I have for years and I have a hard time getting up.. go figure.

Don't really know what time Scott's daughter is going to get here tomorrow. She sent me a text telling me they were staying at the beach most of the day...and from there it will be a 4 hour drive for them. So I am guessing that it will be in the late afternoon or evening before they arrive. That gives me a little extra time to get things done around here. Its not in bad shape.. Just needs a little work. But I do have to go shopping to get some groceries.

I want to start reviewing the new make up I got from the Nuance line. I will try working on those this week when I have the spare time to do it. I really need to break out the calender and get everything wrote down and planned out. Maybe I can even start that before I go to bed. I have lots on my plate right now.. But going to...

and keep just moving through the hectic times and before you know it.. I will be here..

↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

with the love of my life and my beautiful family making our way to..

The beaches of Mexico..

I cant wait to..

take it all in while holding hands with him. I am feeling pretty blessed even with the kids gone. I really have found what so many are searching for. I have a love that is growing stronger by the day.. and I couldn't imagine being without him. So this trip is going to really really mean a lot to us.

We have exactly..

=)  =) =) =) =) =) =) =) =) =) =) =)

How exciting!!!

Now I know I am not going to sleep if I keep thinking of this trip!

Well.. its late..and I need to go rummage the house for something to help me sleep!

xoxo

Have a great Monday!

Sunday Daymakers!!

It's been storming so it's not so hot. LOVE. Fall come quick!

I slept in really late today making me feel so much better. But still kinda sad over the kids not being here.

But I have talked and texted them 5-6 times already and that makes me

They had a bad storm too and actually slept in tents out in the back yard because the house was hot..Thinking I would have choose a hotel instead of camping..but their power just came back on.

We have to go see that house at 630

then going to come home.. cook some dinner..

Do a little...

cleaning before

our kids get here tomorrow evening..

But I am going..

 

to make time to catch up on some reading sometime today or tonight.

I have a ton of things to keep me busy around here!

To the kids...

and I cant wait to talk to you later tonight.

Highlights from Today..

What a busy day..a better day.. It started off a little hard. Everything kinda seemed different when I was trying to go through my email on Brittany's computer this morning. Brittany went to play with a friend down the street so I got cleaned up to go run some errands. I had to go to the water company because I forgot that I needed to pay that bill. What sucks about that particular bill is that I cant pay it with my debit card so it always gets sat aside to get paid later..and then I forgot.. Luckily today I got out there and got it paid..And let me tell you.. this place is way out in the middle of no where. Just woods.. that's it..

Then it was on to find me a computer..

Here is the one I picked out. I thought this would would work great and its a lot lighter than my other one. I am still trying to get it all set up and get all my programs reinstalled so I can use them asap. But lots of work to get done on it before we take off for the weekend.

Scott came home from work and we went and saw another house. Still no word on the other one. Maybe he picked another person.. who knows.. But here is another one..

I know its a blurry picture..But its the one furthest away.

and I didn't mean to zoom so in on this one.. Don't know what my deal was with working the camera tonight but I emailed the owner and we are hopefully going to go see it Sunday evening. It looks ok..nothing that really stands out to me.. but maybe.. and time is running low!!

Jackson wanted to go back to Denny's for the last time.

So that's where we ended up!

There my guys are..

Brittany Belle.

Love this picture!

Here was my dinner.

We got home.. we were all tired..Scott put in a movie..that I thought totally sucked..More on that tomorrow! But I sat here through it while playing on my new computer!

It was during this time that I got this picture of...

Cooper and Mylo sleeping next together. Cooper sleeping with that ball next to him is a normal thing for him. I have always said the ball is Super Cooper's pacifier!

Scott has since went to bed.. I have took a bubble bath and now I am enjoying a yummy cup of hot tea that my friend sent me.. thinking about all I have to do tomorrow. I have to pack up the kids for the most part and finish Friday Morning. I am kinda trying to not think about it so much. It breaks my heart to know that they are heading home. I know its the reality.. I know that its better for them to be in a stable school and not to be moved around a lot but I will sure miss them. They are very loud and I wont miss that a lot but I know that I wont hear the sound of innocent giggles through out the house for a while. I am sure it will be around their birthdays or Christmas before I see them again. But.. we have skpye.. and because of that I can see them every day..and emails with teachers will be back on.. Their teachers send out massive amounts of emails so that's a lot to keep up on too. I know its going to be hard but I am going to do my best to keep it together because the more I get upset the more they get upset. With School starting for them on Monday.. I don't want them upset in any way. I already know that they are going to be tired.. Like I said.. Jackson is pretty happy about going home and seeing his daddy.. but Brittany on the other hand has kinda became clingy, and quite the past couple of days. I think she understands summer is over and isn't too happy about it. I just have to keep telling myself that ..

It's not forever... It's not forever.. It's not forever.. Its not forever...It's not forever..It's not forever..

And remember that the 3 of us love each other beyond words. Not being with them every day gives us the skill of learning to live like this. It's not easy. It's not the life I wanted for them.. for me.. but this is how we have to do it for the time being. and no distance is going to stop our love. Might sound Corny but it won't. I think my kids carry around my love for them as I carry around their love for me. There isn't a day that passes that we don't talk.

Well.. that is going to change on the cruise. I told them I would email every other day or something but that's it..We have 24 days left to go! Super excited but can't start thinking a lot about the cruise yet. We take them home..Then we have more kids coming.. and we also have our weekend in Tennessee. After that I will allow myself to think about the big trip! But we are both super excited about it getting closer. We both really need the time together..I just realized today how far we are away from the kids. Its over 7 hours one way.. Scott picked up a cute little Nissan SUV that we are going to take. I think its really cute.. Wish I could remember what kind it is but I like it a lot and he says its good on gas so that's what we are taking.. This time we are not packing around any cats either! Our house sitter will be here on Friday to keep watch over all the pets and make sure our house stays nice and safe while we are gone.

I have been realizing that there is a lot of gossip around this neighborhood and its starting to piss me off. Don't really know how much of it is true but will be happy to get out of here. I told Brittany I don't want her playing with some of the kids around here just because of their crazy parents. This is something kinda new to me.. Let me just say.. my part time summer parenting is 1000% better than their full time parenting. And one family has another baby that is being delivered tomorrow.. So hopefully the entire family, including Brittany's little friend will be busy until the kids go home Friday. We need tomorrow to really be more about us anyway. Its our last full day and night together. So..yea.. its about them.. in fact.. I might just wake them up in a few minutes to talk and cuddle. It only last for a few minutes before they fall back to sleep. But it makes memories and I know that those late night conversations are sometimes the best ones!

I am super happy that the kittens are really ready to go. I had been dragging my heels the past week or so in selling them. I had made little attempts but Saturday they will be in the paper for 2 weeks and I also got an email tonight from someone on Craigs List interested. I can't imagine them leaving but pretty sure more babies are on the way!

Well good night friends. Thinking and writing about the kids so much has left me feeling sick to my stomach. I wish there was a way to not feel the pain of them leaving. I would pay big money for the drug that could make that go away. I seriously thought about going to the Dr to get something to help but I think that would be a mistake. I am suppose to feel the pain because they are my children and I love them very much. Sorry in advance if I get a little emotional the next couple of days. I am sure on Saturday driving home they will really be in my mind. But I am hoping to come home and stay busy with community service and house guest that will help..But its going to be very difficult at first. It always is.

Off to bed!!

 I think this picture was freaking adorable!! Yep.. I know.. normally I post kitty cats but I saw this and had to post it!! Don't worry!! I have some unexpected kitty pictures coming up!



First I would like to say thank you for all the emails about where you store your pet food.. I am also going to do a post on facebook tomorrow and see what answers I come up with and then I will get a post done about where we all store our pets food.. Its a problem in my home.. I never seem to find the right place to put it.. But I am getting tons of ideas and when we move to what ever new home.. I will sure use them and find a better place to put it all. And Danielle, I am still waiting to hear where you store Sasha's food! =) Hi by the way!! I will be working on a email tomorrow for you!! I want to find out the news of the house first!



Anyway.. the house.. I filled out the application and tomorrow morning it will be faxed..Then we just have to wait to see what he says. There are a couple others looking at it too.. It might be a no.. and maybe it wont! I try to not get myself all worked up over any house until we get it.. Again. God will put us in the right house and if we are meant to be in it.. we will be! But can't wait to find out. He told us he would give us an answer in the next couple of days!!!! If you didn't see any of the pictures or videos you can click { HERE } to see the outside and or you can click { HERE } to see the inside! We like it a lot.. I am not so crazy about the paneling on the inside but I think we could live with it if we get the house! =)  I'll let you know!!



I took a few pictures today.. Here they are..

Brittany was helping me in the kitchen when I snapped this picture.. I love it.. That little girl might drive me crazy but she is so dang cute.. I can't stay mad at her longer than a few minutes!

After we got back from looking at the inside of the house we came back.. I started dinner.. and

Scott and Giovanni Jr. dozed off.. He sure loves those kitty cats as much as I do!

How Sweet!!

The rest of the evening was spent watching tv including a movie that was based off a great book that I will be doing a review on tomorrow!

Then I go to enjoy a bubble bath and guess what happens..

Mylo was sitting on the edge of the bathtub along with the rest of the kittens.. ( Don't ask me why but they all love watching me take a bath) Before I knew it.. Mylo was in the bath with me.. So I decided I would sit there in my bath and give him a bath.. The others sat and watched in amazement but little did they know.. it was their night for a bath too! I so didn't want their first bath to be like this.. First.. I wanted to be able to get some pictures and second.. I sure didn't want my bath all messed up.. Thankfully Brittany was up and was able to take them one by one and help dry them. I ended up standing up afterwards and taking a shower!!

Here are the pictures of the kittens after their baths!

Willow trying to lick herself dry!

OMG.. How cute is Mylo!

Here come Giovanni Jr. trying to get me or the camera!

Here are the boys!

Now wet Willow is coming to me!

They are all still a little wet and cold.. I took the hair dryer to them but they fought me tooth and nail to get away from that dryer!

Anyway.. I had a pretty good night! Hope you guys also had a great evening. The part that the dumb ass mechanic broke finally came in from Jaguar and tomorrow my car WILL BE FINISHED!!  I have been really pissed about how long it took.. But Scott explained it really well.. I am not driving a car that I can get parts from Auto Zone for. They had to call around to all the Jaguar dealerships to find the part that got broke.. It came in and hopefully by the time I wake up.. the car will be here. If not.. I am going to be beyond pissed..

Well.. I need sleep.. My computer was acting up really bad tonight and this post took a lot longer to get done.. I don't think this laptop is going to make it till the first of the year. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that it will.. but I am really doubting it. After the cruise is over.. I am going to save up and get another one asap. Right now we just have so many expenses that I just cant do it but its time to get a new one.. really its past time.

Sweet Dreams..
