Great News!...

This has been a great week, Rob and I have worked out a schedule that we will both be able to see the girls EVERY week and have some one on one time with both of them. I just hated going a whole week in between visits, and I would call almost every night and then find reasons to drop things off or stop by to see them. So we’re going to try this and see how it goes.
I got our taxes done yesterday so I no longer have to worry about that. I asked Jared if we could claim Jordan, since she has pretty much been at our house for the last week. Spent the night Friday, Saturday, went home Sunday evening and spent the night Monday. Her mom works 2nd and sometimes 3rd shift so she usually stays with grandma, but Jared and I offered to keep her whenever. I think she is trying to move in LOL, I found half her laundry yesterday, her portable dvd player and a bunch of little things.
Jared and I will be going out on the house hunt on Sunday, I think we are looking at 5 more. Lauren has a date marked on the calendar to move July 7th, not sure where that came from but if not before that sounds like a fine date.
I will get some picks of Maddie and Jordan to scrap woohoo!!

Moving is for the birds.....

I met with the realtor the other night and she shared her words of wisdom for making the sale of the condo go as quickly as possible. Not bad at all only 3 or 4 things. Remove all personal pictures. Clean out closets to make them look spacious, all the girls’ art and good grades off the front of the fridge, and stage things in 3 or 5. So I got up bright and early and tackled the closet. By noon I was done, but exhausted. I have never parted with so many things at once before. But I thought to myself move it or pitch it, and pitch is what I did. The girls closet was the worst of all since we did not touch it when we did the room. I hauled out 3 ~ 30 gallon trash bags of just stuff, they out grew or didn’t use, or didn’t claim (because in our house no one owns anything, or at least when there’s a mess LOL!) They didn’t give me any flack at all, since they would move tomorrow if possible.
I feel sorry for them since they have only a couple friends around here, but Madison usually has a friend over from school on the weekends when she is here. This week it is Jordan, she is an absolute doll, polite, friendly, funny, and cute. Jared and I want to adopt her. If its not her its Kayla, she is also a great kid. Her and Jared are like two peas in a pod and completely feed off each other. Hey it gives Jared someone to pick on, because she gives it right back, while our girls whine, cry and act like were the worst parents ever. I often find myself telling them, “Quit acting like such a girl” LOL!! Oh well I better get off here and get back to work, otherwise I am going to lose my motivation.
