Eyeballs

Just in case anyone needs a pair, at this moment, I am willing to give away my eyeballs.

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!

My allergies are so bad right now. Zyrtec helps some, but takes a while to kick in and then towards the end of the day I am a mess again. Sneezing like crazy and my eyes, UGH. And I can't seem to find eye drops that really work.

I only have Fall allergies so,I am very thankful for that. But, come on.

I am off to go and sit with a cold washcloth over my eyes.

Grumplestiltskin

Ok, so the other day I was a total Grumplestiltskin. Sorry about that. I didn't mean to get anyone worried, Dad. Because really, so what if the house isn't done yet. It will be eventually. Seriously, who am I to complain. I am living in a brand new house. SO many people in this world will never be able to say that and actually can't even imagine it.

So, Here Comes the Sun, right?

Things are slowly being finished. My biggest concern really was the grouting of the counter tops phase. They need to cure for like 4 days. I was wondering how in the world am I going to be able to keep things off them for that long. Well, the light bulb went off over my head. This Thursday we are heading down to Jersey for a family reunion and we will either be coming home Sunday night or Monday morning. Counter tops issue solved. Phil is going to work on them while we are away.

The bulldozer smoothed out our yard yesterday. Most of the molding is finished. Carpet for our closet comes in on Tues. And, right now black top is cheaper than concrete. So, we may end up with a beautiful driveway to boot.

Plus, Ryan installed our new mailbox post, (the guy dropping off our storage trailer ran the mailbox over, he did give us $100 for it) so, that is not hanging all kiddywampus anymore.

Oh yeah, and we are supposed to get internet Tuesday. Yay.

Still here

I am still here. Life has been so crazy. We still have no internet. Our development is so new that it is not coming up on Verizon's computer so, they don't think we can get internet. However, we keep telling them that our neighbors get their internet through them and their box is actually on our lot. Whatever!

.

House is still not complete. We are getting a tad bit frustrated. Our closet, bathtub, shower and some molding still aren't finished. The linen closet and front coat closet are not done yet. One cabinet in the kitchen is still missing plus, the granite tiles haven't been grouted yet. Some floor tiles need to be relaid because they are not even. Crown molding on the cabinets needs to go up. Front steps need to be built. All 3, pocket doors need to be finished. Fireplace, stairway and part of the laundry room needs at least 1 more coat of mud before we can even prime them. AND There's MORE.

.

So, with so many things still needing to be finished we have boxes sitting everywhere and everyday we take more and more out of our storage trailer b/c it has to be back on the 1st. We can't even put it all in our garage because half of the garage is full of our builders stuff. Oh and yeah, we can't open 1 garage door because the track isn't up yet and neither is the garage door opener and oh yeah, they still need to drill holes in 3 of our doors for dead bolts.

.

OK, I am going to stop because I could just go on and on.

.

I am grumpy and tired and today was so muggy and of course we have no air conditioning because everyone said we wouldn't need it. Yeah right. Today was so nasty. We could have gotten a little relief by sitting downstairs in our basement but, OH YEAH, that is a mess and full of our builders stuff too. We have been putting some things under the steps because there is no room anywhere else down there.

.

UGH!

.

OK, so I am off to read my Better Homes and Gardens and get in a happier mood. I feel better already getting all of that off my chest. But first, I need to roll up my magazine and squish the stupid fly that keeps landing on me. Who knows where our fly swatters are!

.

Thanks guys. Till who knows when.

.

Just got the dang fly. Yes, the day is looking up!

The sentencing of a Grand Forks mother who police say was “extremely intoxicated” while breastfeeding her 6-week-old is set for 11 a.m. today.
Stacey Anvarinia, 26, pleaded guilty to child neglect, a Class C felony, in state District Court in June.

Grand Forks police responded to a domestic disturbance at Anvarinia’s home in February. Officers reported that she was drunk and breastfeeding. The child was taken to Altru Hospital, and Anvarinia was arrested.

The unusual case has stirred debate and grabbed international attention.
Authorities have emphasized that breastfeeding while drunk was not the only reason for Anvarinia’s arrest, saying she was intoxicated to the point of not being able to care for her child.

Anvarinia, who is no longer in custody, faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine
