I’ve got mad fever!

No, I am not talking scarlet fever or hay fever… It’s SPRING fever around here! Thankfully we’ve kicked our cold (I should say E and I kicked it, N might be coming down with it now). So things are more productive here especially since the weekend was warmer than usual, basically it was NOT jacket weather [...]

The day of red

18 months ago, thanks to my Fertility Awareness Method charting I knew I was pregnant, before I’d even missed my period. Now, over a year later I am back in the world of fertile women and am reminded of how bad it sucks to have “that time of the month” again… Oh and we have to [...]

Road trip adventures Everly enjoyed.

Whew! After a week on the road we needed a day to decompress after getting back to Evansville. Yesterday we sat around in our PJ’s, did many loads of laundry, scrubbed cat vomit from the carpets, cleaned cat boxes… You know all the chores and stuff that go undone while you are away. Everly was a [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

What is it with shower situations in New Mexico? We are spending the night in Tucumcari, NM this time around. We got a cheap hotel to spend the night in and unfortunately it only has a shower. You see it’s a cheap hotel, tiny, clean and shower-less with a super loud heater… You get what you [...]

Forging ahead – Bringing our car home from Arizona

We are on the road in our newly fixed car! After flying here and hanging out with family and friends it’s now time to make the trip back home, in our car. We spent much time this morning debating weather or not it was a good idea to make the trek up north to I-40 [...]

Live Blogging: Cat Swallows Needle

Here are my tweets as they played out during the night and early hours of the morning. I didn’t realized it would reach so many people. At first I was just tweeting so my husband would know what was going on, then I kept tweeting to be sure I didn’t leave anyone in the dark. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

It’s true. N and I got the holiday ham that keeps on giving. It seems we have food poisoning or something… It’s been an ongoing thing for over a week now. We just tossed several pounds of ham leftovers after we figured it was the culprit, also tossed the spinach salad just for good measure. [...]

Christmas 2009 as parents.

I never thought I would be such a gingerbread cookie fiend! Last week we made up a ton of cookies to get in the holiday spirit and also so N would have cookies to take in to work for everyone. We’d been trying different gingerbread cookie recipes each year, nothing was particularly impressive and I thought [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

She’s not even walking yet and she’s already being a stinker about opening gifts early. After her gift snagging earlier in the week we moved all the gift bags and stuff with ribbon away from her reach. We thought the paper and curly ribbon was attracting her attention. Looks like she’s smarter about this gift [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

I have a confession. I am fairly certain twitter is killing my creativity! I’ve been having issues with blog content since Everly’s birth. Sure I am a busy mom who is working part time in addition to caring for a new baby. Yeah, computer time is limited these days… The thing is it’s not the time that [...]

Baby leg warmers crochet fun

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects… Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months to [...]

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans…

All the trees are naked and it is very close to freezing at night now. Thanksgiving is just right around the corner and we aren’t really sure where the year has gone. Life is blowing by so fast and it just feels like we are standing here in a blur while it all swirls around us [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

Well, we’ve done it! Several years of planning and thousands of dollars later… We are now the proud owners of our own home! N was bummed that we had no “sold” sign to pose with out on the front lawn though… We may just have to stage it anyway, kind of like this: We went in [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

This will be the first weekend in probably a month or so that we’ll have to relax and get caught up on things. Marching season has come and gone, my 9th marching season is now over. Sure winterguard plans and ideas are in the works but it wont be until January when the performance madness picks [...]

31 days till we leave Arizona…

Posted on Aug 01 in Uncategorizedby TalinaPrint

It’s the first of the month, that means 26 days till N is done with his current employer and 31 days till we are outta here. It is all very exciting and also a bit unbelieveable. We have signed a lease in Evansville, paid a security deposit and tomorrow we are forking over $1800 for our RV.

We still have movers quotes to sort through but we are pretty sure we will be going with SelfMovesUSA, they seem to have the best price and after news of wage garnishment price has become an issue for us. By the way, the garnishment was indeed deducted from the check today so we have 15% less income being directly deposited… This sucks but it is inevitable when the issue is swept under the rug. Hopefully it is a learning experience for the future.

Last night our hamsters got out of the cage and one of them was dead when we woke up, not at Dixie’s hand but at the cats hand. It was the sweetest thing, Dixie tried her hardest to clean up the poor hamster after the cats were done with it. She licked the little guy and smoothed it’s hair all down, the cats just shifted focus from the dead hamster to the still live one under a shelf. I guess their natural instincts were coming out and Dixie was just trying to make it all better after they were done.

When N woke up and discovered what was afoot he was very upset. He poked his head under the shelf where all the cats were positioned and the poor little live hamster simply walked right on to his hand, he was relieved to be saved and knew N was safty.

So, we have a dead hamster, a live- trauatized one, a wage garnishment, 31 days till we move, 26 days of work left and a motor home to pick up this weekend. Oh and my period is coming…

We are working to plan some sort of going away party so we can say goodbye to all our Arizona peeps, it is looking more and more like madness every day. We are doing it potluck style (thank goodness) and we have about 60 people on the guest list so far. This house is going to be packed!

Well, that is all I have to report right now. I need to go do the finances, I’ll make the blog rounds shortly. Hope you all are doing great and have fun planned for the weekend!

Our cats caught another bunny yesterday and brought in a live bird after dinner last night. I am sorry about the hamster… I hope that the remaining one won’t be too lonely. Yeah, Dixie!

Aww, I’m so sorry about the hamster! I love my cats but I’ve always felt so bad when they’ve killed something. It must be even worse when they’ve killed another pet.

Goodness, you certainly have your work cut out for you for the next 31 days! I hope you get to relax a bit.

OH, sad hamster day. I had hamsters, guinea pigs, and cats growing up and I always feared the cats would get the smaller ones. Currently in our house, it’s the dogs who keep the cats on their toes.

Your poor hamsters. I bet the one still living is still scared…I would be. And how sweet of Dixie to take of the hamster that passed. What a sweet dog.

This month will fly by more quickly than you want it to. I’m so excited for the both of you!!
