U Gotta Be Kiddin Me This is a blog about me, my life and my family!

I started my day out by starting in the backroom cleaning. I pulled out all the crap sitting on the floor, moved the little cart that sits between the washer and dryer, swept the floor. Packed up some items. Moving stuff upstairs that isn't needed. I guess with this possible move, I need to go thru all that crap in the backroom and throw out the unecessary items, stuff that I really don't need if you know what I mean. I may throw out some stuff that I've had just sitting around period. I am just plain tired of being a pack rat....yes I am finally admitting it to the fullest. But if I took a picture to show you, you would be like...YEP, she sure is....lol. I guess I need to set up some set in stone goals. Post about while I am working on it, and confirm that its done. Lets see if I can do this people. My Goal for today.... Finish off the backroom. Go thru the closet, throw out stuff that is old. Pack things up accordingly. Have the SON work on his room as well....throw out old, broken toys. (IF this move does happen, Good Will is going to be getting nice clothes, toys) Well enough for now, off for awhile...gonna take the laptop to back room with...updating!!!

We obviously did stuff that kept up occupied to the point of, I wake up..go to sleep..wake up and bam my Son is home already. Even though when he arrived home it was almost 6pm. I did manage to make some Buttermilk Brownies only because its been since Sept. since I made them...lol. I try not to eat too much of that rich chocolate stuff but it was calling my name. You know, today has been a good day though. My BF and I went for a walk down by the river and were talking about moving..again. I want to get out of this house, and with my Son's Father moving to Arizona its really bugging me. Not that I want to follow him out there. But for the fact of my Son, I don't want him to be far from his Father. We have in the past talked about moving to AZ anyways or New Mexico but leaning towards AZ now. I am really nervous about this because it is a serious big step. Granted I would love to get out of this area and find something more for us....maybe its time that we take that step to find something more for us. But it means leaving all my friends. That's something I don't want to do. And even more leaving my family. I think leaving my Mom would be the hardest for me. It really would. She means the world to me and who would be there to help her calm down? To get her to relax? And my Daddy? Omg...its too hard of a decision to make. My Brother? My Sisters? Not to mention my nieces and nephews is only seeing them every so often makes it even harder to do. Because I love them so very much!!!!!!! So see, its a no win situation...do I make the choice and be selfish, stay here be with my family. Or make the move, so my Son has access to his Dad at any given time, whereas he wouldn't have that choice if we stay here. I don't want my Son to grow up without his Dad around, even though he would be there for school breaks and summer time. I don't want him to change the routine he's had forever since he was about 3 years old. I am tired of the cold weather, flooding, and super HOT summers. I know out there is totally different weather. I am going to do some research on it, check out the weather, schools, and of course employment. So for now, its still the thought process...its going to take me a little bit to figure out and to make some phone calls. And talk with some people, because this isn't something you take lightly.

I can reassure you that. I decided today that is time to go thru all the crap upstairs. Its not organized at all, makes me nuts not being able to get up the stairs easily without having to move this and move that. And since money is extremely short, maybe there are a few items I can put on eBay to sell. I will link the items I put up on here....I am also thinking of going thru some of my scrapbooking items like some stickers I won't use and maybe, the original Sizzix machine I have even though it doesn't have a box. I haven't made up my mind just yet though. I cannot sell any of my stamping items though as I am getting more and more interested in it. So now, its time for me to put myself to rest and get a good nights rest so I can get a WHOLE LOT done tomorrow. Wish me luck!!!!

My Boyfriend is wanting to have a weekend to getaway. I am always reserved about going away especially with our kitties. I don't want to have to depend on anyone to take care of them. I thought about rv camping but no way we could take our babies with but at least we would be a in a covered sleeping place...lol. I am terrible. I don't want to sleep out in the elimates. I did that last year and froze my tush off. I honestly don't think I can do it again. The Lincoln Prilgrimage is coming up and its looking like we aren't going to make it this year. Its breaking my heart but in all honesty, financially its not gonna happen.

And my shows are on tonight and I don't have any running to do, I already have dinner in the oven which by the way is Lasagna...yummm. It should be done about 6pm and we will have an hour to eat, clean up and get our showers taken...then 7pm...Survivor BABY!! Then we usually watch CSI and I have to change the channel of course to my ER. There isn't many episodes left and I sooo cannot miss it. My prediction on that is since Dr. Carter came back and he is in need of a kidney transplant that its not gonna happen OR Dr.Benton will find a way to help him. I am leaning towards the not gonna happen part and that he will pass away like Dr. Greene.....I hope that doesn't happen. But who knows. I am gonna be a ball of tears on the last episode. So bad.

I have to give my Son a memory stick to give to his friend at school that has pictures on it from his friends birthday party. I was able to pick up one of those cheap memory sticks at a local discount store. I only paid $5.00 for it but at least I am able to get these pictures to her...its only been since January something from her Birthday. OOPS. I feel bad. Her Mom is due to have her baby in May, and I know she's miserable right now. I know its been over 12 years since her daughter was born so its like starting all over again. Wow.

Yesterday I went into the backyard and found some little surprises. I was so happy to see little sprouts of my flowers starting to pop up. That's how I know its ALMOST Spring time. SO...excited. I think tomorrow I am going to go out and take some Progress pictures. A friend of mine does that with his flowers. I didn't start my seeds this year like I normally do...no motivation I guess.

We need to buy another set of sheets. I wanted to have clean sheets put on the bed right after we put our new bed up. Kinda like all new and fresh smelling. But when we do get new sheets and stuff. They have to be a certain color. We may have to purchase some Sferra bedding. I hope they have our colors, as the colors are a dark purple. When we bought the curtains I got lucky and found a dark purple sheer curtains. I love them. I wish we could change the color but, all that would take too much money right now.

But when your not able to afford soda, you learn real quick how to adapt to NOT having it. I feel like I have given up my left hand for how long I have gone without a soda. Seriously, I can't remember the last one I had. I do drink tea, but I ran out of my Cold Brew stuff so I was stuck drinking water. I hate water. But I always make sure my Son has his drinks since he gave up POP of all kinds...he's doing real well. So proud of him.

Bought myself a GPS unit. My friend Dawn has one and it was so cool. I think what I loved about it the most was she entered the address and the name of the place we were going. And when we arrived, it said..."Now arriving at Jane's House!" I thought that was cool. I know its all in what you type for the destination and was just impressed at how detailed it had the streets and turn offs. Now my BF on the other hand is against them things...little does he know that they are really cool.
