oh happy day

I am so happy. I got to spend 9 hours with my fambly today. Jarrod and my dad accomplished the fuel pump in the Jeep, finally. Jarrod did the super hard stuff on Friday night, taking off a gas tank full of gas. I thought he was either going to blow up the garage or kick the crap out of the gas tank out of frustration. I am so glad it is over, and well of course so is he! We got to get Chinese food for dinner~! MMMMMMMMMM. Of course it doesn't go well with the Atkins diet, which I have been attempting for the last couple weeks. Jana and I were supposed to be doing this diet together but I don't know if she is or not? We haven't got to talk much lately. I was super bizy cleaning houses all week long. I am glad Jarrod has a 3 day weekend so I had a good excuse for not cleaning this coming Monday. We found a house online, through our "realtor" that we are very interested in, so hopefully can get moving on a loan and go check out the house tomorrow or monday. I can't believe in the next year we will probably be homeowners. At first I was frustrated because Jarrod is such a PICKY SNOB and just said NO no No no to every house we looked at online. Me, I would take anything because they all have "potential". He likes to look at location, etc etc etc. Oh and back to my wonderful day, we got to go to Sam's club, which is always fun. If I put everything in the cart I wanted there I would be stocked up on laundry soap and cleaning supplies for a year, but I contained my excitement. I do owe ma a small chunk of change for what I put in the cart, containing myself. For the first time in my life I own a bottle of Febreeze. The more houses I clean the more I wish that I could just spray it through the house afterward for a finishing touch. It is also probably good for those moments that the fam stops by with a moments notice and my house smells like the litter box. Mahna ate chinese chicken tonight for dinner and lo mein noodles. Ma has been encouraging me to feed her more "people food" instead of toddler meals. I am glad i have my mom and gma to help me move on to those next levels of parenting. I might try to make Mahna stay a baby forever... We also watched "March of the Penguins" at my parents house. If you haven't seen it, you must. What a one of a kind documentary. Really well photographed and told. Sad at times, and the mommy baby bond kind of brought out the baby fever in me. I would probably have to quit cleaning houses if I had another one, though, and that (sad to say) does hold me back. Lately I have been thinking a little more about going to school than making money. I guess cuz I have been doing SO MANY HOUSES it is not as fun. I go through spells though. Oh I did start a new house for a retired couple. The man has a photo studio in his house and has taken some SUPER cute pics of his granddaughter and other people....... So I might trade some cleaning for some pictures. Okay well that is enough for now, kind of a post all over the place but I cleared out my mind and that is the whole point right? :) Happy day to you!

Hi, Caroline, your mom gave me your blog address. Lindsay, the wee girls and I spent an hour or so with your mom, grandma, and your Mahna today. What fun! Mahna was hysterically funny, she didn't like sharing her toys with 3 little strangers. She has the most precious pout I've ever seen. When are we going to get babysitters and you and your mom and me and my daughter trek over to IKEA in our most comfy walking shoes and cover every inch of the place? It's a fun, fun place to go.

P.S. Any day you get to eat Chinese for dinner is a happy day!
