Friday Update...


Well it's kinda hard to post on this blog without talking at least somewhat about our move to New Orleans because right now that is the main focus of my life... as much as I wish it weren't. I have managed to get a bit of sleep.... though I'm still having issues with it... and we've had some insane events in the last few days... to catch up on all of that you can visit Moving To New Orleans....

Oh and that humongo electric bill... well yeah of course it was no mistake... we somehow managed to use twice as much power as last month... and three times what we used this time last year ... even though we keep everything unplugged when we're not using it and I even flip off the breakers to my major appliances when I'm not using them... the only explanation I can come up with is that my son's friend has been charging his car battery when he's here several times a week instead of repairing his alternator.... can that really use $300 worth of electricity in one month??? That was the only thing we've done differently. Needless to say he's not doing it anymore!!! I could have fixed his freakin car for him cheaper than that!!! Also needless to say he won't be offering up any money towards helping with that bill :(

In spite of our bad news this morning concerning Adrian's job... we decided to enjoy a beautiful day of sunshine... so we took Steffie to the playground and we had a picnic. Then we enjoyed a nice conversation with a new friend that we met there... turned out she lives just around the block from us and is a homeschooler too. Great... I meet her just in time to move away... right... oh well... we can keep in touch through Facebook. I didn't take any pics... but Steffie was sooo happy to be playing outside... and with other kids. She's a very outdoorsy kinda lil girl... and I think she may have met a friend that is even more bossy than she is...lol

Please forgive me if I don't get to visit your blog daily... I've got tons of packing to get done along with the usual daily household necessities... but hopefully after we get moved and everything settles I can get back to my regular visits. In the meantime I'll visit as much as possible... and try to keep posting here... and updating on our move on the other blog as well.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.... 2 more days until SPRING!!!!! YAY!!!

I am on my way over to the other blog now. Glad you got out and got some fresh air. I find when I take the dog out everyday I sleep better. Don't worry about visiting us. Just keep us posted as to what is going on with you guys.
Have a good weekend.

A move is a dramatic event thus take whatever time you need to get settled and reduce stress. Hope you are able to love your new home.

I am sad you have to move, but I am hoping you can look at it somewhat as a new adventure!

My husband said that the boy charging his battery isn't making your electric bill to go up. Our has gone up too.........doubled!! You may want to have your meter check!! Good luck!!

Sending you good energy and hugs!!

Thanks so much everyone for your well wishes :)

Gayle I'm thinking something might be wrong with our meter... my huband said it was running pretty fast yesterday and we hardly had anything running in the house... I even had the breaker off to our heat/air unit because it was a beautiful warm day. I'm going to call them back out here to check it again tomorrow.
