Too Much...

Do you ever feel like there is so much going on at once that you can't possibly keep up? I am feeling like that right now. If you know me well, which I know most of you do, you know that I am an instant gratification person. I know how I like things and that is the way i want them. I am the most impatient person in the world. It drives me nuts to see my house in such disarray. I want my walls to be painted. I am faux finishing my kitchen with a sort of Tuscan treatment that is taking FOREVER!!!!!! So I am doing that, plus trying to keep the boys entertained, take them to camp, keep house, run errands, make phone calls about this that and the other. Man, i think working with 30 kindergartners is less stressful than staying at home!!! Don't get me wrong, I love my boys but they are a lot of work. Plus my niece is here which she actually counts as 2 kiddos. So a total of 5 kids!!!!! I am going to shave my head, by what little hair I will then have blond and change my name to Susan Powter. You know who she is, the "STOP THE INSANITY!!" lady from those commercials in the 90's. Boy I am dating myself there. Oh well, on to my hectic lifestyle. You think that I would get paid to do what I do. I do, I get tons of kisses from cute boys!!! That makes it worth my while......Talk to you soon..

Coming Together

Formal Dining

Kitchen

I have recently received several emails and voicemails harassing me about not updating my blog. I am so sorry!!!! I have been really busy getting settled, painting, and moving furniture around. I HATE MOVING. I am still missing random things that I really wish I had. Like this really nice throw I had made for my couches downstairs, some of tia's clothes, some of my shoes.....Nothing like picturing a the moving guy in my shoes and tias clothes!!!

Any hoot, I just painted my dining room and I love it!! It looks finished. Finally! One room at a time. Jerry and I just bought a sectional sofa for our room (yes we can fit a sectional in our room - it's a pretty big room). It's awesome. It is a faux suede and it is chocolate leather, faux suede cushions in a mocha, terra cotta and chocolate color. It's kind of contemporary looking but it will work.

By the way, here are some pictures for Lupita of the boys. I promised these last week just never got a chance.

When are you all coming to visit????

Rub-a-dub-dub. Three boys in a tub!!!!

Getting Settled

We have been in in our new house for almost two weeks now. Seems longer. I kid you not when I say that there has not been a day that there has not been some sort of unpacking or cleaning or organizing!!! I HATE MOVING! You realize that you have so much stuff that you really don't need. So you get rid of it. Then you go out and spend more money on stuff to replace that stuff. it's a vicious cycle.
We have already had to put deadbolts on the doors because little Aidan has figured out how to unlock our doors. He has been spotted several times in the front yard, at the neighbors, in the back yard (we have a creek that runs behind our house, so that is pretty scary). We are currently looking at landscaping the front yard. Talk about expensive!!!! Plus my lovely mystery machine (you know the van from scooby doo, that's my car nickname) has been giving me trouble so i think i am going to have to get a new car.
There have been contractors left and right here as early as 7:30 sometimes working on something or another.
Plus, our house in Dallas did not sell to the original buyers because something happened to their financing. Now we have another offer that is very poor and we are giving our house away. The joys of moving.
The boys are going stir crazy because we can't leave the house because of all the workers coming in and out. They are driving me crazy. Did I say i wanted to stay home and not work. WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!! At least at school I got 5 minutes of private potty time before I had to run back to my room to see what my class was getting into. Here there is no private potty time because Cristian or Aidan want to hold some sort of conversation with me while going potty. So, that is how most of my day is going.
Jerry and Julian and Tia are doing quite well. they love it here. It is beautiful. However, if you are not careful you can get really lost because it looks the same everywhere.
Love you all and miss you lots. I am not at the point of "Dallas Who?????" ;)
