Hello there, Blog. Nice to see you again. I know it's been awhile. Things have been pretty hectic for the last several weeks, and I'm sorry to say that blogging has been very low on the priority list.
First of all, the lovely wreck that completely destroyed my Little Green Jelly Bean. *sniff* *sniff* It was a good car, and kept me safe from a 65mph head-on collision with a concrete wall. And I got a VERY nice replacement car, so I can't complain. The insurance company was very generous with their settlement on the car, now we're in the stages of settling for my inconvenience and pain & suffering. We'll see how long they drag their feet on that one.
Then, we had Jim's older boys here for 2 weeks while their mother took care of a family emergency in Louisiana. THAT was interesting, considering they had only JUST left our house for a visit just a month earlier. We tried a chore board with them. It worked so-so, but we're going to keep at it. The good part out of all of it is that all the brothers get along FAMOUSLY. :)
Cadence is now crawling like a champ, pulling himself up on virtually anything stationary, beginning to feed himself little rice puffs, babbling up a storm and on the VERY edge of having his first teeth surface. Our little man is growing up so fast!
Our duplex has been foreclosed on, and will be up for auction in a couple of weeks. That was definitely the first time we've had THAT situation come up. We'll see how it pans out, but I know that we're both ready to be rid of our crappy slumlord. AND, we've gotten at least one month's rent FREE! w00t!!! We are safe until the end of our lease, which we signed not even a month before the official foreclosure papers showed up. We're good to stay until next summer. And hopefully by then we'll have gotten our debts and credit all straightened out and saved enough money to be able to buy our OWN house. I've done that once before, it's a great feeling.
OK, I guess that's about all for now. My fingers are tired from typing.
More later!
