Random stuff

Happy Geek said to follow suit in posting 6 random things about myself...if the sun had melted my brain.....well, here are 6 random things about me!

1. I have fallen out of a moving vehicle.

2. Any sort of body function noise makes me giggle uncontrolably.

3. If I had a dog, I'd name it "Fire" just to fuck with people. "FIRE! Fire's in the house!!! "LEI, You're on FIRE!" hehehe

4. Some of my favorite moments in my children's lives are not safe to re tell at their weddings....

5. I think knees are sexy.

6. Sometimes, I have these insane desires to lick someone's eyeball. *sigh* I know.

In other news. My girls seem to be enjoying and doing well in summer school.
I AM that kind of mom. People look at me googgly eyed when I tell them my kids are attending summer school. Academics are important to me and I value it enough to instill a value for it in my kids. That's not to say that I push them beyond what they are capable, or that I demand preformances that are harsh or unreasonable. I just want to give the girls every opportunity to excell to their full potential and get the most out of their educations.

Leishabeth is turning 7 on the 21st. She'll be on holiday's with her dad then, so we're holding her friend party on saturday.
She has never had a friend party (lazy momma) and is very excited! She has every detail planned, right from the timing of events to the angle of decorations on her cake......auntie erin, what did you do to my child!!!????

I'm pretty frustrated with the selling of my house. Shit's not moving at all and I have no clue what's going on, I can't get ahold of anyone who is supposed to know so I'm in complete limbo now. I went by there and noticed a new front door, new curtains (I just saw from the street) new fence boards, the gate is fixed....*shrug* whatever.

I guess I'm grieving somewhat. I feel stupid though, it's just a house. I haven't lived in it for 4 years (haven't even seen the inside of it!!!!) but I'm sad. I painted, I made curtains, I decorated, I made the gardens and planted them and that's the only house the girls remember having lived as a family in. I got booted out so viciously and was KEPT out with threats and intimidation (yes i am not immune to those things, shocking, I know).
I feel kind of like I want to drag my heels, only because I haven't been treated fairly with regards to that house.
I didn't want to buy a stupid trailer. I didn't want to be white trash mommy. However, my thoughts and opinions weren't considered and the trailer was bought, regardless.....so I made the best of it and tried really hard to make the trailer NOT look like a trailer (especially on the inside) can't do much about the outside, but I designed and made flower beds and garden plots and planted and nurtured them, I was so proud of them!!! I have great memories planting veggies with the girls, and picking strawberries with them, and checking the tomatoes every morning for ripe ones, watering and weeding with them.

I'm holding on to those things so tightly that I haven't been able to recreate them in any other place I've lived in.
Here's a light bulb. I haven't been dedicated to making a HOME at all since then. I lived in the apartment with the girls for a year before I hung anything on the walls. I stopped caring about housework or neatness, except where it had to be done for sanitation or company.
Even here in my beautiful rental, I just don't have the stuff to make myself be a homemaker.
However, I think I'm going to be digging for it, I miss the company ready house and the easy tidy up routines (place for everything ....)
Hard work a-comin

Finances are really really tight right now. The money from the sale of my house would really help right now! Only about another month till I start earning a wage, Faron and I knew it would be a tight and tough year, when we moved in together last September, but it's down to the last couple weeks and the last couple dollars in the nitty gritty! OY!

I'm having a hard time switching modus operandi here. Student...employee makes me sort of apathetic about getting my resume and cover letter done. Ugh.

The weather has been FABULOUS!!! Both the girls had play dates (one with out eachother, and one with eachother) and SO much fun!
Lei is amazing, she went to her friends house to play, without mom.....AND... without Jaala!!!!
She is getting so brave, I'm so proud of her!.
You should have seen my Jaala saying good by to Lei and sending her off on her own. Jaala picked heer up, hugged her and kissed her and, walked her to the door of the jeep, once Lei was buckled, Jaala climbed in and hugged her again and told her to have a good time. Lei said "I love you helmet head!" (jaala was wearing her helmet and had been riding her scooter).
AWWWWW! They love eachother!!!
We're trying to give Jaala more opportunities to be independant from having to watch out for Leisha, and in turn give Leisha more time to get used to independance from Jaala. I know that when they go to their dad's, Jaala is usually wholly responsible for the care and attention and comfort of her sister, and I know she resents it, so hopefully the freedom here, will make it easier to take on that other role at her father's place. (crossing my fingers anyway!)
