Change of plans

Things can go bad in a short time. The brain children that was suppose to purchase & close on our house did not do as they were directed by their lending company told them to do. So in other words, THEY ARE OVER EXTENDED ON THEIR CREDIT- NO HOUSE. We find this hours before our origional closing date & just days before we are to finally close & move. So we now have to quickly finsomeon to purchase this place & now we will not get to move in to the new place until midway through December. This is heartbreaking. We had everything lined up to move & get the house we are buying ready to move in in 3 days from today. The house is almost completely packed in boxes. The house is in total disarry. I had to unpack a few items so I could complete some items for a swap due at the end of December & I do not want to get that in late. Total frustration & disapointment. I am also late on a few bills because I was hoping to get some money since I used some of mine to pay house bills & get things needed to fix up this place. Now it catch up time & now no money for christmas presents. More depressing.....

Moving day is approaching

Well it seems like we may have a FINALLY final closing date if Novemeber 23, 2004. We were suppose to be oving tomorrow but the Fool that is representing the buyers has very poor follow through skills. She never returns phone calls & does not have all the items needed to close on the house. Her excuse is that she had family in town. Wake up lady just because family isvisiting does not mean you stop working.. You are realitor 24/7/325. The hurricanes could not even stop realestate calls from coming. So the we are now being made to make a lot of changes. Now I have to hope to be granted on day off of work to get things done. Oh my...I will keep you posted.

Moving

We are MOVING!!!!!!!!! In less then 2 weeks. We sold the house. It sold mid monday afternoon just after putting it in MLS although the people found it driving through the development. Now we just need to finish fixing the stuff the hurricanes destroyed. We started packing today. Making headway on the upstairs. Today I took down the leaves on the wall & painted over the trees & leaves on the wall. My trees are no longer there.. It is saddening to enter the room.

It is a nice place in a gated community. Bigger rooms & fenced yard. It is a 3 bedroom 2 bath, a garden tub in the master suite, huge kitchen, a front yard I can really decorate for the holidays & a garage I may someday park in. It is located over looking a lake & has a great cross breeze. I am excited. The only thing I dread is I am suppose to have one of my wisdom teeth is to be pulled on closing day the day before moving day, YUCK....

Mom's business is starting to pick back up like it was before the storms. This just means we can pull this move off & not be tooooo tight.. I am truly hoping the pups will enjoy their new yard. I think they will but we just need to get the bird feeder set up for I.V. Grace. It will be nice to not have to climb stairs with laundry or carry the scrapbook stuff down the steps. 12 days to be exact, MOVING DAY.

Oh I forgot to tell ya'll about the Water Heater Breaking & flooding the garage. Not good. All of our boxes are soaked. We spent today priceing water heaters & mom is going to call the gas company to see if it will be cheaper to get one through them. So it will be a cold shower in the morning for me. Burrrr...

See the president.

Yesterday President George W. Bush made a campaign stop at the Space Coast Stadium. It was really neat to see. I have seen Jeb Bush (Florida Governor) at a prior event. They flew in & landed on the baseball field. Him, His wife Laura & Jeb stepped of the helicopter to a cheering crowd of about 14,000 people. They had a guy in a vintage plane trying to fly from Georgia to Boca Ruton, Florida end up flying over the stadium. This man was almost shot down by a military fighter jet (second article web site). I must say it must be a requirement for the Government police be good looking to be hired bacause all of those boy where worth watching. I ended up really sunburnt on my face & neck. OUCH.

this is a heart felt site I thought I would post.

Guess what Cory did..

You will not believe what Cory did yesterday... He cut his thumb off just above the knuckle using the table saw. He ended up going to the hospital by ambulance. His neighbor thought quickly & put the stub in a bag of ice & send it with Cory. He got to the hospital & they did not seem to want to do anything with his finger. They were going to send him home with pain medications & an oozing stub. When Vanessa (a friend & Rockledge police officer) started taking pictures of the finger, the staff decided to do something with it. So off to surgery  about 10:00pm, Cory goes where they try & make a working finger out of his new shorted thumb. He called us about midnight to tells us he was out of surgery & awake. They kept him over night because of the pain management issue. He went home late afternoon. Here is the funny thing, his father has a toe missing a nail because it was cut off by a lawnmower. I guess it is something in their gene power to lose at least one nail by a sharp metal blade. Poor Tracy, has a cold on top of this adventure. It so unfortunate that Cory did not sign up for the AFLAC accident policy because they would have helped out with his bills & missed work. Why do men not listen.

Desperate Housewives: This show is a trip. These wives are the closest to real life in a close neighborhood. The Divorcee, The single guy, neighbirhood slut, the prefectionist, the cheating wife & Stressed SAHM who misses the corperate world. The 3 little brats are in desperate need of a "Coming to god" meeting.

The weight loss journey: Well I am trying to get back on track. These storms has messed with my progress. Liposuction would greatly help get rid og this belly that will not leave. I would also love to have skinny ankles & legs to look cute in shorts. I am beginning to think I will always be a big fat slob. I know the reason I have been eating more is truely because of depresson over recent events & work. Always lonely. Very Frustrating & Depressing.

School: Very way behind. I am beginning to wonder if I can pass. I just can not seem to get into reading the book. Everytime I start reading I get drowsy & can not focus on it.

Stop Lights return to normal

   Well things are starting to return to normal. Most of the Stop lights are returning to guide the traffic in the right direction.The blue traps still grace local roofs. Tree clips that broke free are slowly being picked.Even work has returned to the normal Bullsh*t, way too long to explain.

Mom is back on the quest for a new hurricane safer home.. We will see how this works out..

When will we return to normal????

Well Hurricane Jeanne has  come & gone. And she has put a hurting on this area. There are about 207,000 people back out without power. Shingles once again little the streets. Street light on the side of the road, missing from their usually hanging place. Blue tarps are becoming an everyday sight especially since there is even more roof damage. There is a one lane section missing out of US hwy 1 in Melbourne & huge sections missing between Malabar & Barefoot Bay that was washed out by the Indian River. The Communities of Sebastian, Barefoot Bay & Vero Beach took a second very hard beating. One of the schools serving as a shelter lots it's roof in the middle of the storm. They had to move all of the occupants to the college to ride out the rest of the storm safely. It is still 2 months until Hurricane season is over for this year. Will it ever end?????

Round 4

Guess who is coming to visit.... Hurricane Jeanne.. She is set to strike the same area as Hurricane Frances..  This is becoming insane...  4 storms in 5 weeks. Total craziness.

Hurricanes

Florida has been hit by 3 hurricane (1 of which has hit the state 2 times), Charley, Frances & Ivan.Ivan has made the tour of Florida. He came ashore in the panhandle with across the US and came back around the Atlantic ocean to visit the eastern coast of Florida. We currently have 3 more Hurricanes & a tropical depression lined up to pound Florida & the US. Jeanne has finally moved off of Haiti where she took the lives of over 600 people & she is going to kiss Florida's coast. Karl is just moving through the ocean & may miss Florida & continue out through the ocean. Lisa is right on Karl's healsbut heading to Florida. They say this is a 100 year treand. The water is one degree warmer. Craziness... These storms are going to drive people mad...
