This makes me giddy.



I must admit, I WAS NOT happy when "Cedric" was chosen as Edward. Watching that trailer though I am finally seeing it. Corky just rolls his eyes at me. He refuses to even watch the trailer but he promises he'll go to the movie with me. Now if only I could trick him into reading the book.

You know it.

We got carpet installed on Thursday. I love it, it turned out better than I had hoped. Wouldn't you know it though, not 2 hours after having the carpet guys leave, (1 hour and 37 minutes to be exact) Emily throws up on it. Am I bad mom for not even feeling sorry for her at the time. I mean, she wasn't dying. She just up-chucked some apple chunks from lunch time. I admit that my first words were "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? On my new carpet?" They probably should have been "Sweetie, are you okay? She forgives me though.

The past few days I have been fighting off the flu. Luckily the only symptoms have been nausea, achiness, and sleepiness. None of the yucky bathroom symptoms showed up (I kept my bowl near me at all times just in case...Heaven knows I wasn't going to puke on my brand new carpets like somebody else did!) Anyone Else's skin hurt when they have the flu? Even the affectionate rubbing on my arm from my husband was painful and I had to tell him to stop.

Lastly, our mail has been being forwarded to our new house for the last month. We have received all of our bills, bank statements, and medical statements (thank you Gracey and your stitches!) You know, all the things that you try to pretend don't exist so long as you don't see them. Well, a few days ago as I was checking our bank account online, I noticed that our credit card was charged for my next Proactiv kit. However, I forgot to change my account information to my new address. I have been anxiously awaiting its arrival, hoping the forwarding works with large packages as well as letters. I haven't received it and can't help but wonder if the new people in our old house our getting a free trial of Proactiv, courtesy of me! If I were them, I suppose I would forward on the bills too but conveniently forget to forward the good stuff. Don't they know that I know where they live? Okay, so I don't think my proactiv was stolen but I do want it soon. Those tiny little bottles of miracle are pricey.

Even though this might seem like a grump post, I am actually in a happy mood. My house is coming together, I got a chance to work on the beginnings of my garden, and I had a really enjoyable evening with the hubby and the kiddos. Just wanted to sit and ramble I guess.
