I am finally back online!

WOW I whole month without Internet. I have so missed it.
We got moved, got settled. I haven't been out any to see anything so not much exciting. I wrote a couple of blogs in word while I was off, so I will post those at the bottom of this blog. I hope you have all been well. thank you for the emails asking about us. We are good. The kids have made a few friends across the street, and they are adjusting well. The 14th marked 2 years without my Grandma, so we went to visit my Grandpa for the weekend. It was a nice visit, although I am sure he was glad to have a gone and get his peace and quite back. LOL I wont lie, it was hard being in the house without her there, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I finally got to see her head stone in person, and I think she would have liked it. I went there twice while we were there. I am glad I got to go.
L well, we have had a few curious George incidents, but nothing major. I thought it would be alot harder on her to move from her friends than it has been. She has adjusted well.
G he is doing well, we have had a few allergy incidents but because he ate something he wasn't supposed to. I have not found and Dr's yet since hubby's insurance wont kick in until next month. We have insurance now, but I am not sure what Dr's his new insurance will cover and I don't want to have to pull them from a Dr or pay a higher price because they aren't in network, so he has enough meds to get us through and as soon as we have new insurance we will find new Dr's.
H she had adjusted very well, made friends quickly and cant wait to go to grandma's next month for her birthday.
Step son has gone to his moms for the summer. I think he is already ready to come home.
Hubby is really liking his new job, so that is a big plus.
Well that is it for tonight. I have a million emails to catch up on, so I will end with the couple of blogs I wrote while I was off line. Thanks for checking on us. Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come.......

Updating in word until we get our Internet hooked up. I hope I can copy and paste.
Well we have been here in TX for a week, I must say I really miss TN, more I miss my friends in TN. I am so lonely. I miss my neighbor A. We had become inseparable in the past month and I feel lost all alone. Yes we talk and text daily, but it is not the same. I am trying to stay positive, that this was a good move. Hubby likes his new job, we are closer to family, but it is so hard to leave everything behind again. And now that we are without Internet, I feel so disconnected from the world. The kids are adjusting well, they have already made some friends here in the neighborhood, and that has helped a lot that they adjusted so easily. Today my step mom came by for a couple of hours she is in town for her family reunion; it was nice to see family. She is always the first to visit us wherever we move. She is such a valuable part of my life.
Next weekend will be the 2 year anniversary of my Grandma’s passing, and though it seems like yesterday it seems like a million years since I have heard her voice. The kids and I are going to my grandpa’s for the weekend, so we can spend time with him. I haven’t been back to the house since her funeral, and I am not sure how it will feel without her there. But I know that he will be glad that we are there. My mom is going out of town for the week, and I didn’t want him to be alone so we are going to visit. It will also be the first time I have gotten to see my grandma’s headstone, and take her flower. I can’t even begin to put into words how much I miss her. This move has been especially hard as I know she would be so excited that we were so close to home now. It hurts so deeply that she is not here. The pain has not lessened with the past 2 years. I still miss her just as much and want her here. Is that selfish of me? That she is now in the greatest place, the most beautiful place yet I want her here? Well maybe it is, but it is the truth, and although I know that I will see her again someday, I want to see her now.
About the trip and the move, well we were supposed to leave on Tuesday, but L was sick, and we were just worn out after packing and cleaning so we stayed with A and her family and left on Wednesday when L was feeling better and we were more rested. I got the three kids and the dog, we were going to have him ride in the U-Haul, but he is getting older and we were afraid the he would have problems getting in and out of the truck so her rode with me instead. He did well. The first day we drove until 2 am when we finally stopped and got a hotel, we were pooped. The next morning we had about 3 ours left to drive so up and off we went. Well about 90 miles outside of our destination, G had a major blow out all over his seat all over him. It was horrible. I stopped to change him, and put a towel in his seat. Then we were off again, well I didn’t realize the speed limit had changed, and just as I passed the 50mph sign, I saw a DPS, well yes he pulled me over, but I figure he looked in the car and said WOW this poor women I can’t give her a ticket. So he let me off with a warning.
Upon arrival at the house (remember I had never seen the house), I was in a little shock. Not only was the house very dated, but it was so disgustingly dirty. The bath tub was black from top to bottom. I spent 2 hours scrubbing the black from the tub. The kitchen was not fit to eat from, the carpet is absolutely horrid, and the walls that hubby hasn’t painted yet are gross. But the house has a nice floor plan and with a little elbow grease and paint it will be fine. I am all unpacked already, well except the desk stuff and a box of winter clothes. I haven’t hung and pictures yet, but I think I may hold off until we get all painted. The second day here we went to use the microwave only to discover it didn’t work. So until hubby gets paid next week we are operating without a microwave. You never realize how much you use one until you don’t have it. LOL
L has of course been into things already, she colored her shoes, and her bed with crayon. She is constantly getting something out she isn’t supposed to , then she looks up at you with those big blue eyes and it is so hard to stay mad. H is having more attitude issues, yesterday she told me we were the worst parents ever, and we never do anything for her and we don’t love her. I am not sure how to deal with her. G seems to be doing well, I am concerned that we have no Dr’s yet, because we will be getting new insurance in a month, and although we have a policy now, I am not sure what Dr’s will be covered with the new insurance, so I am trying to hold off. He was supposed to go back to the GI Dr. next week and the PEd last week, but I think we will make it. I have plenty of Meds to make it through until we get new Dr’s.
Well I guess that is all for tonight, till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come……………

Still no Internet, man am I going crazy. Dh gets paid tomorrow, so hopefully we can get Internet then. We are just about to get settled. The kids are outside playing now, G is taking a nap, so I thought I would blog a little while I should be painting and such. LOL
Sometimes, kids say the funniest things. We were eating burritos for dinner the other night, and L looks at hers and says there is trash in hers. LOL Of course there was no trash in it, and I told her that, but she kept saying there was trash in it. A few seconds went buy, and H wanted to eat L’s food, so L said go ahead it has trash in it. Then last night we were eating beef and rice, and she said there were ants in it. LOL Where does she get these things? She is silly.
So far we have done nothing here, we are just hanging around. I am ready for the weekend to go to my grandpa’s I think it will be fun! I just hope we don’t wear him out. My kids can be very tiring. LOL We have this cute little lizard that is living out on the porch, he is unlike any lizard I have seen before, I took a picture of him he was so cute.
Well that is about all in our lives right now. So till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come…………………
