Car Stolen

Our car was stolen out of our garage last night. That takes some balls to break into a garage while we are home and steal our car. It makes me feel a little scared and frightened. We keep the doors to the house locked except for the side door because of taking the dog at night. Now everything will be locked. Never thought in a small town that I would feel like this.

Census

I am making it a point to tell everybody to fill out there census and send it back in. This census helps your local schools and towns get money. The government spends money in communities based on how many people are there. the more people the more money or ratio of it goes to them. I know that money is tight everywhere but sooner or later it will get back to normal and they will spend it where it belongs. This is the first census I filled out and I am glad that I did.

Up way to early and bats

I am up way to early for a Saturday morning. My husband had to go into work this morning so he was up and 5ish. He thought he would be funny and wake me up to ask if I was going to make his coffee. The not so funny part is that jackson woke up. Jackson in turned woke up Ethan, so guess who didn't get to go back to sleep: me. Yikes. I guess I could get an early start on my chores so that this afternoon when Jeff gets home, I dont have them to do. My morning is busy due to taking Jayson to get his haircut and the bat guy coming to set traps and catch a bat.

Here is the thing with the bat. In November, I saw a bat when Jeff was gone to Warrensburg. Everybody thought it was just one and we couldn't find it. Then one night when Jayson was in the basement he saw a bat. We have found dead bats in the basement. On Thursday night, Jeff finally saw a bat. He said it was bigger then the others and flew around the downstairs and then went back upstairs. I missed it of course. When I got back, Jeff and Jayson were going bat hunting. Jeff had a flashlight and Jayson had a fishing net. They looked all over the house except for the attic because there is no light up there. Of course, this sight was absolutely hilarious. Jeff decided we had better call somebody and he said that there is probably a nest and the one Jeff saw was a female. He is coming out today to see what he can do. Yikes!!!

Sitting home by myself

I am sitting home by myself today because I am sick and everybosy else is at a family thing. I am wondering when this stupid sickness is going to go away. My face still hurts and I have a headache. I don't really want to take my tylenol with codeine because I don't like the feeling but this pain is annoying me. This quiet is driving me crazy and yet I don't want a bunch of noise either. I hope they find something out from my blood tests, this has been a major pain in my butt.

annoying family and being sick

I will start with the being sick part. I haven't felt good for awhile. I first thought it was cold and being run down from my time of the month. They seem to go hand and hand lately. So I didn't think much about it last week and started feeling better this last weekend. On Monday, I got a horrible headache, which I just thought was due to the weather. Then I got another one on Tuesday night, and by Weds. morning my face hurt so much and felt like it was on fire. I went to the dr. I have a severe sinus infection which if I am not careful, I could end up in the hospital. They put me on 2000 mg of antibiotic and prendisone. I have been on this for 2 days and it doesn't seem to be working. I have missed two days of work and with ISAT's next week this sucks.

On with the annoying family thing. Why do they even bother to ask us what we have going on and just schedule what they want no matter how inconvenient it is for the rest of us. They wait until last minute to say they want to do something and just think that we will drop everything to make it work. I don't want to travel 45 min when we could just have this 10 minutes from the where we live. Why do they only think of themselves?

Keep your fingers crossed

A few months ago we moved to Toulon IL and have been paying two mortgages on two houses. My hubby has slowly been working on the other house, trying to get it ready to sell. The only room left is the kitchen. It has taken him some time to get everything else done due to him working everyday and being to tired sometimes to work over there. We got a phone a couple of weeks ago about somebody coming to look at our other house. Didn't think to much about it because we hadn't heard back. So today my hubby got a phone call from our relator telling us they were coming back to look at the house for a second time. They narrowed from 6 housed to two and one of them is ours. They wanted to know what kind of concessions we might make and what needs to finished. So as we speak, Jeff and Jayson are at the other house working. This will probably happen all week. I hope that they buy the house because it would be a load off of us.

Valentine's Day at home with the family

It was kind of nice spending the day home with my family. We just spent the day watching the incredibly long race. Jeff and I sat cuddled on the couch while the kids played and watched movies. Not exactly the most romantic way to spend the day but better then being alone. It is incredibly hard to believe that we have been together almost 10 years this summer and married 7 yrs in May. I look at my husband at times and can't believe it.
