joy && stress

oh boy. lots is happening in my life. not used to this.

  • filing claim about my car getting hit while parked. man coming in the morning to work to look at it and give me an estimate. sent me papers explaining the "accident"- its gonna be a pretty blank paper. just my name and address & address of where it happened.
  • still trying to get paid from the nanny family. demanding the money now. again.
  • got my jacket in the mail today {see below}
  • house hunted again all day saturday. few options we are thinking about seriously.
  • last night we got a wedding present that i couldn't wait for. a BIG clock! :) made by Jenny Thompson and her mom. it says Hermann Clock company and established 2008. i love it. can't wait to get a house and have it up!
  • amy and i both quit the no sugar bet yesterday. {she quit first-- congrats to kate for winning haha}
  • work is still going great and the kids keep me smiling all day. and i come home with ENERGY. man i missed that while i was nannying.
  • I am making dinner more frequently. {i hope mike is enjoying that.} i'm happy to be eating spaghetti more often. its my fav.
  • Going to MI in 2.5 weeks. can't wait for nicer weather & spending time with the Scripps fam! oh boy!!!!
  • Bed bugs. hate em. i'm convinced that is what is eating me at night. any natural remedies for these anyone knows about? The bites don't itch too bad. but is there something i can put on before i go to bed at night that will keep em away? They don't eat mike. just me. i knew i was sweet but UGH. :) jk. They started eating me about 2 months ago.
  • our guest house is getting more organized. but still needs some work. but hope we move sooner than later.

this was a long post. sorry for boring you.

p.s. sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite. {who knew?!}

first of all - get a new mattress or try sleeping elsewhere to see if they go away. call me & i'll tell you about my experience.

GO KATE! i didn't know you quit after i had my gingerale last weekend!

Hope the car things AND THE DANG NANNYING thing get straightened out! Love ya! :o)

Oh and give me details about the house. That is such a fun process - I think.
