Cars are here... BUT....

so the cars were suppose to be here yesterday according to their dispatcher, but

i knew by 6 last night that wasnt happening.. bright and early at 9 am they were here.

i was so excited.. 15 days without my car.. man....

i go to get in my car and notice a few ants in the back.. and a few more.. and some more..

could this be happening? yes.. it could - because everything that could have gone wrong has..

somehow.. i swear there is an ant farm in my car!!!! i bought the ant spray and traps and put one in the front and in the back of my car.. those little suckers are SOOOOOOOO going to die..

and as for the wreckers who moved them.. did they leave my windows open or just park my car out in a field in the middle of an ant pile?

FOR THE LOVE OF PETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anotha day

so.. call me ghetto but i've been using someone elses wireless and couldnt get on all day to post-- serves me right for stealing wireless, but i've paid for it for years.. so whatever.

Last night was our first thunder storm--- wow!! the sky was beautiful.. looked like a strobe light show over and over forever with lightning.. the thunder was absolutely amazing- LOUD- thought the girls may wake up but apparently they were exhausted and didnt budge.

I woke up this morning not feeling too well.. i dont know if it was because my mom wasnt here and i had no help from her for the first time in a month. !!! gosh.. what a help it is to have a sidekick with you all the time. Now i've figured out why all those hollywood peeps have like 10 kids.. each kid has a nanny.. and if i had a nanny, i too would have more than 2 kids. But for now, i'm already a nut case with 2 kids.. i need to be the best mommy i can be.

Yesterday i posted that tweedle dee and tweedle dumb came and put my glass cabinet together and did it WRONG so everythang came a crashin down.. well he calls me this morning to set up a time to come and fix it. You could tell he was super excited to come back because i answer his call and he professionally .. i say that sarcastically , says :" Hey Kat, its Ryan, WASSSSSUUUPP!!" oh good lord..

So i have the maintenance guys come to put in a light bulb in the girls room and fix things around here.. apparently the cleaning crew and maintnence crew was on vacation before we moved in.. again.. i say that sarcastically speaking. i then had the roach guy come and spray .. and then tweedle dee and dumb with their side kick Red Neck Sr. Lexi answers the door saying.. "hi, Ryan, your new name is glass breaker".. CLASSIC!! i love my kid!!

I had the roach talk with Lexi.. no no no.. not the roaches you smoke.. the bug talk. i calmly told her they are harmless, but huge ugly and black and we dont leave food out or they will come and visit.

I have 4 boxes left to unpack and i'm just now getting to our bedroom- after days of being here, i FINALLY found my silverware-- i had one box to unpack in the kitchen and it took me days to do it.. WHY? because packer mover guy packed my freaking NESQUICK in the TOP of the box and didnt tape it... so the ENTIRE container of NESQUICK spilled throughout the whole box into everything!!!!i had to wash every dish in the box... UH!

Cars still arent here.. kinda getting worried.. i'm sure the peeps of the transport company are just joy riding in them.. pickin chicks up in the pilot ;)

UNPACKING..

AS I'VE BEEN UNPACKING TODAY, I'VE REALIZED HOW MUCH MONEY I REALLY DID SPEND AT CORKY'S DAUGHTER AND SPENCERS ALLEY- MY GOODNESS, COULD I HAVE ANY MORE DECORATIONS?!! .. AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE BOXES OF VASES.. WHERE IN THE HECK DID I COME UP WITH OVER 20 VASES?!

I GOT LOST TODAY LOOKING FOR A WAL*MART- I SPENT 30 MIN GOING IN CIRCLES ON THE FREEWAY AND ROADS LOOKING FOR IT. .. I GOT SIDE TRACKED AND FOUND A TARGET.. THEY HAVE COOLER STUFF ANYWAYS. I THINK NOW I'M DEFINATELY IN THE MARKET FOR A GPS.

THE GUYS THAT PLUGGED IN MY WASHER AND DRYER TODAY CAME- AND AFTER THEY INSTALL THEM, LEXI SAYS:" WELL I'M GLAD YOU GOT THAT WORKING, NOW MY MOM CAN WASH HER UNDERWEAR, CAUSE SHE REALLY NEEDS TO DO THAT." WHERE DID SHE COME UP WITH THAT?! THE TWO GUYS ( THAT WERE COMPLETE REDNECKS, TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY SHOOT SQUIRRELS, DEER, TURKEY.. ETC ETC FOR FUN.. SO GROSS).. THEY REALLY ENJOYED THAT COMMENT.
THEY ALSO PUT TOGETHER THIS SWEET GLASS CABINET I HAVE.. SO.. I JUST PUT AWAY DISHES ETC IN IT.. ALL ORGANIZED AND SUPER CUTE.. AND C...R...A...S...h.THEY ... PUT IT TOGETHER WRONG AND I JUST ENDED UP WITH 3 SHELVES CRASHING TO THE BOTTOM AND THANKFULLY ONLY ONE DISH BROKEN. IDIOTS.. TWO BLONDE WOMEN COULD HAVE PUT THAT BACK TOGETHER BETTER THAN YOU. I'M CALLING THEM TOMORROW AND THEY ARE GOING TO COME BACK AND PUT IT TOGETHER RIGHT.
LETS TALK ABOUT THE COUCHES-- YOU KNOW HOW THERE ARE LEGS ON THE COUCHES? WELL, APPARENTLY WHEN YOU MOVE, THEY TAKE THE LEGS OFF. THERE ARE THESE WASHER THINGS THAT HELP HOLD OURS ON. THE MOVERS LOST HALF BACK IN OREGON, SO WHEN THEY GOT HERE, THEY COULD NOT SCREW THEM ON. MY COUCH IS LITERALLY SITTING ON THE GROUND.. SO SO SO PO DUNK TRASHY, I FEEL LIKE ALL I NEED IS MY TV REMOTE, AND FRIED CHICKEN. AS FOR THE OTHER LEGS ON OUR BIG COUCH AND CHASE LOUNGE, THE MOVER FIGURED HE WOULD RIG IT IN HIS OWN SPECIAL WAY BY PUTTING SARAN WRAP AROUND THE SCREW TO HELP HOLD IT. IS HE SERIOUS?DOES HE THINK WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE OK WITH HAVEING THEM LEFT LIKE THAT?!THEN HE TOOK THE NETTING OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE COUCH TRYING TO FIND THE WASHERS, AND THEN SAYS THAT WE.. DID YOU CATCH THAT.. WE NEED TO BUY A STAPLE GUN AND STAPLE IT BACK OR THE ROACHES WILL CLIMB INTO THE BOTTOM, LAY THEIR EGGS IN IT!! sickKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK..

OH.. AND MOST PEOPLE WOULD VAcuum THEIR GLASS UP THAT SHATTERED.. I WOULD IF I HAD A VACUUM THAT WASNT 2.5 HOURS AWAY IN A STORAGE UNIT.. GUESS I'M IN THE MARKET FOR THE LATEST DYSON NOW TOO..

ALL FOR NOW.. MY PAIN IS YOUR GAIN..

PEACE...............

The storm is calming down..

For the past two days we went to South Carolina to visit some family friends.. i'm just dyin here that i still cant attatch pictures because what fun is a post without picture proof? SC was fun and relaxing.. we saw 3 different colors of geikos, and 3 different kinds of frogs.. one the size of my FIST! nothing too scary, nor do i ever hope i see the larger reptile of the south.. we call them SNAILS.. the other word freaks me out.
Today, my mom was suppose to leave. She's been such a blessing and Enormous help. Her plane was supose to take off around 2. But before this all went down, we received our apartment keys today-- No house buying until the Or house sells.. pray that it does fast, because i'm so over apartment living now that i have a family and have owned my own house. !! we literally have 40 min before we're suppose to be a the airport and i'm seeing the apt for the first time and did i mention the movers WERE ON THEIR WAY WITH OUR STUFF after dropping over half in a storage unit 2 1/2 hours away!! i walk in as lexi says: "mommy, i really like it but dad doesnt he says it really stinks" i open the door and it smells worse than a dive bar!!! i start freakin -- again. notice i freak out alot?!!! i dont smoke, i hate smoke and i get migrains from it.. we dart over to the manager office and long story short we get the apt directly opposite .. we do a 30 sec walk thru and i'm good with it. i look on the floor and see that our large, black Roaches have already made a walk thru as well.. but theyre on their backs... poison must have gotten to them---
so... we start driving to the airport and i get this little idea... i'm not ready for my mom to leave yet.. she's been my life saver and helped me stay calmer than i would be.. we re- booked her flight and she's now leaving on tuesday.. YEAH!
We'll be unpacking tomorrow.. being a germ a phob.. i've already made my 50 dolla trip to wal*mart and bought some bleach.. bleach wipes and all the goods to de - germ my new place. the toilets, floors, floor boards and even the trim around the door jams have been cleaned-- Being a germ a phob i do not appreciate living in someone elses germs.. EH!

i promise.. pictures soon to come.. sorry posts are so dang boring..

already got lost here!!

so.. i decided to drop luke off since he works til midnight.. i wanted the car to find the shops around .. you know a girls gotta find her shopping !! so i go to pick him up and i GET LOST on the freeway so bad i was in tim buck two.. complete darkness.. no exits.. nothing.. freak freak freak out.. i finally get off at an exit, and all there is is a gas station and waffle house.. i decide to not get out its not safe. finally found a way to get back on the freeway and get to luke's work.. its scary at midnight.. ooooh man talk about gettin the shakes..

Finally HOME!!

Oh my goodness, you guys.. we finAlly made it and all i cant say is we totally did need a camera crew to follow our trip. everything that could have gone wrong did and since we just arrived here, we dont have pictures yet, but man are they all good. .. but before i get to the crazy details of my trip i just wanted to wish my little muffin a :

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY ! Miss Quincey turned one today and although we wish we had all of our friends and family to visit with us and party, we did make a special outing with luke, lex, my mom and i .. we thought that since lex always celebrates at Red Robin we should start a new place for Quin tin tin for her birthdays.. so Macaroni Grill it was and it was DELICIOUS!

After our meal, the server brought this HUGE piece of cake smothered in hot fudge made from scratch with a candle on top and this man serenaded her in italian .. she slapped both arms on the table and her mouth literally dropped as she STARED the whole time he sang. it was precious.. Pictures and a video clip to come...

Ok.. back to the trip of a freakin lifetime.. .

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,.,.,.. we were scheduled to leave at 11am . we get to the airport around 10 and find out that due to horrible weather conditions our flight has been cancelled. now.. before i go any further keep in mind that it was me, my mother ( without her i could not have made it), quin, lex , the dog in a carrier, 3 large suitcases, a stroller, a port a crib a carry on bag AND 2 car seats!! i had everything balanced on the stroller while my mom held the baby and lex.. so we stand in a 2 hour line to be told that they can redirect us, however we may not be able to leave until WEDNESDAY!? was she serious? i told her i have no house, cars, anything and that we needed to leave today.. she says she can get us on a 3 pm flight so we take those tickets and are told that they will put us up in a hotel room. sounds luxurious.. (OR NOT!!) then i find out that the travel agent for luke's company didnt reserve a spot for the dog.. here is when i started to lose it.. so i buy another 100.00 ticket for the dog and we including my dad and sister decide to go have a nice lunch at stanfords while waiting... we get there and the dog starts barking ... i get a little nervous since were in a restraunt! i take quin to go change her and come back to find my dad has left and is at the food court with my dog.. that leaves my mom sister and lex at the restraunt. my mom leaves and comes back to my sister having an asthma attack. so my sis leaves rest. to go find my dad. he runs to the car to get her purse with her inhaler in it and runs back inside the airport. my sister combs thru her purse, puts it down and gets this panicked look on her face and says: "its on my nightstand!!!" she had left her inhaler at HOME!! meanwhile i figured out that we've checked all bags and i only have 4 diapers to get us thru the night and tomorrow and panic. my dad goes and buys 6 more diapers for 12 bucks ( thanks dad) and were good. We get thru security and then to our gate to find out that our flight now takes off at 6!!! we finally get on our plane and the baby has a dang BLOWOUT! my kid is one and hasnt blown out since she was a newborn so do you think i would have a change of clothes?! so she was white trash the rest of the night and wore a diaper and shirt.
We make it to Atlanta.... i forgot to tell you i called luke before we left and had him book us a holtel room, not trusting the ticket agent.. thank goodness i did because when we got off the plane there was a line AT LEAST 3 hours long for hotel rooms.. and did i mention all the rooms by then were sold out!! its now 2 in the morning and we are exhausted! we call and call for a hotel shuttle and there is no answer.. we decide to get a taxi.. another 3 hour line!! i freak out, cal luke and use a few choice phrases.. i'm scared, tired and just so mad... He gets thru to hotel and says a shuttle is on its way.
we get to the shuttle get in our room and are finally in bed by 330 AM! next morning we get back to the airport to get home.. we wait in line ( no shower, make up, etc because all of our bags were taken on another airplane!) so were in line for hour and a half and this lady takes us to another line where she drops us off and leaves us!! the new line people tell us the line is closed and that we need to go to another line and wait for another few hours. once again, i flip out because i'm not missing the next flight! someone helps us, we get thru security and go thru the trams to get to our gate.. we finally made it home and here we are.. safe.. and that's all that matters really but all the funny things along the way that made me crazy!!
mom and i slept on the bed... i felt like we needed one good night of rest since we'd been so overloaded with luggage.. and there is no way i could have ever done it on my own! a 6 hour flight turned into a two day ordeal...
