Signing at 10? uh...

I can't tell you how ticked off I am!! We were suppose to be signing our papers with attorneys at 10 this morning. The lender has had 60 days to get allthis stuff together and still is not done, so our signing may be pushed back a few hours. I'm so sick of people doing half jobs all the time!!!My praise for the morning is that I took mini me to the golden arches to get breakfast. My order was 9 bucks, but bob*y l*e from ma* tv rung me up wrong and so the manager gave me everything for 2 dollars!!! YesssssssAnother sweet thang?! I can holla at all yall thru my sweet new blackberry... No pictures though sorry.

Xo, goldielocks

He Has Risen!!!

I am so sad we didnt get ANY family pictures this year- and we were all color coordinated.. UH!!! oh well, you get to see the girls and the husband, so really, that's all that matters!!
LOTS AND LOTS of pictures taken throughout the day, so enjoy!!

out behind our place

We hung out with my GA. BFF at her parents GORGEOUS house located by the Masters

The were sweet enough to do an egg hunt for the girls

Oops.. a double, sorry!!!

Dont think i dont love one child more than the other- mini me just HATES having her pictures taken-

Dying the eggs- as they were doing this, lil Muffin walked up the pink and KICKED it over-

The kitty- muffin calls it a "neow"

Confetti eggs that Ms. Ga. BFF brought ( such a teacher thang, right?! )

Please bare with me the next few days, maybe even weeks.. i will be trying to update the blog-

the movers are here right now packing, we sign papers for the house tomorrow, and MOVE IN on thursday!! And.. i havent had to lift a finger to pack, And i found out today they will be UNPACKING me as well!!!! Such a blessing to me because i have a TON going on in the next few weeks!

Muffin has tubes put in her ears on the 28th, i have a field trip on the 29th, allergist 30th- my parents come in on the 5th, we have a family birthday party for mini me- the 6th we go to Anderson, Sc and then that entire weekend is dediacated to Greenville for my life long Bestie who is getting married - - - ( I was suppose to fit in a bachelorette party for 4 days in Charleston but felt like i may have a mental breakdown!!)

Our new house is in such a new development, they are EXTREMELY limited on Cable and internet, so we will be having to get a new company entirely- the cable i could care less about, as for the internet, its my LIFE saver ( shoot i may get more done, lol! I may be hitting up a Star * YUCKS for some wi-fi)

I'll keep everyone posted on email address when it changes- for now just keep emailing to same address!!

The Devastation that hit last night-

...thru pictures- tornados touched down in a few places from where we live AND our new house.. WE are SO blessed that we're ok.

My workout partner called me this afternoon and told me where to go to find the worst damage. Here is what we saw thru pictures-

Note that houses have shingles blown off, trees literally that fell thru them, and on in there is the car port that flew on top of the house- the picture of the church i took. Ironically their church name is called "New Beginnings".

As we had left and were on the interstate home, there was a DOG in the road, coming towards us, 2 lanes going in one direction and there is NO sides on either side of road to pull over. !!!!!

we were going 55 and i scream :" Luke a DOG! " He swerves to the right, and the dog decides at the last minute to ALSO run the same way luke swerved. ONLY GOD kept our car in control with how many times luke swerved and then corrected. He had a SPLIT second to make a decision with cars behind us and SPED UP to get around the dog. Luke thinks he may have got the tOPS of his paws, but Thankfully we didnt hit and kill him. At the light aways up, i asked the guys next to us if they saw him and they said he was able to get into the forest!

Insulation blown into the fence!!

We are OKie- Dokie

OUR TODO IS OK TOO ;)
Major storms up in Augusta last night!!!! We were on Severe watch- First the thunderstorm watch, then Tornado watch and the girls and i actually took cover in the bathtub- it didnt hit us, but DID hit 10 min away. My question is : Why didnt the tornado Alarm go off?!!!!

... the news channel DID go off air..

We are ok.. and i've decided that i need to be more prepared with a flashlight and mini radio--- But coming from Oregon, we didnt have ANYTHING like this!!

Boogers & Pools

We got home from the gym ( aka: what keeps me a SANE mother) and i was doing something in the kitchen. The girls have been bickering and picking on each other ALL.WEEK so today when mini me piped up and started squealing out of disgust, i had to run over to see what was going on. BEFORE we'd left to the gym, i made sure lil muffin had a clean diaper. ((JUST A PEE DIAPER PEEPS)) i left it next to the chair on the ground.. usually just throw in trash but was running super late for my 10am session. Well, muffin found it- she was on the couch with the diaper- OPENED, and was using the wipes to get her "boogers".. she kept repeating over and over, "boogers"->

Then, after Lil Muffin and i woke up from our nap we decided to go pick up our mail and my new phone in the office ((this is my 2nd phone in a year, i beat em up!!)) The girls saw the pool and with it being 79 outside, i felt compelled to let them play in it. I walk out back- the picture below is what its SUPPOSE to look like. It didnt!! NOT AT ALL.. trees have dropped all their leaves and junk into the pool and pollen floating in it, tons of tree nasty's at the bottom of the pool. I walk over to the chairs, bird poop all over, i'm talking the chairs look polka dotted and COMPLETELY covered. OK- here's the deal. If you are management and know that your pool will officially open April 1, you bring out a pool cleaning crew and your lazy freakin' maintenance guys should scrub the snot out of the pool deck and chairs instead of making sure they make every freakin lunch and snack break!! Everything , FILTHY! i was NOT happy! People, i pay over 1000 a month for rent and they cant hire someone to clean it?!

I take the girls back home to get in their suits- ( with muffin screaming and throwing her 2 year old tantrum all the way home) They get their suits on and i get back to the pool and i personally use the net to clean that nasty pool up! I'm literally next to lil muffin, at the end of the pool with the stairs.(( using the net for the pool on my own to clean up the yuck out of the pool since no one else would)) Muffin stands up, walks around the corner of the pool ( still 12 inches next to me) and her right foot falls.into.the.pool! She follows.. and falls into the pool, completely under. I grabbed the nearest limb i could find, which would be her foot and pulled her out. She was SHOOK up!! Crazy how fast a child can fall in, even when they are right next to you!

Wordless Wednesday? NOT THIS WEEK!

Today i was going to do a wordless Wednesday post and post some fun pictures, but ONCE AGAIN there was quite the event that went down at lunch- and i only WISH you could've been there, because, once again, ONLY ME! i really could do a reality series-

We're in the middle of spring break and due to the fact that we're moving and we we're told we had to come up with thousands more dollars for closing, we are on a TIGHT budget- no Aquarium in Atlanta, no Savannah- but that's ok, those places will always be there.. and moving out of this apt is a MUST! ( we only thought that we'd live in an apt for 4 months MAX after moving from our house in Oregon!)

So, after my daily 2 hour workout, i decided Chik-fil-a or Mcdonalds for lunch due to them both having play structures- it's been CHILLY here in the 40's so too cold to play outside. I met my girlfriend at the Golden Arches- in.the.play.area.

((NOW.. if you know me, you know i'm a NEUROTIC GERM-A-PHOB! I'm trying to get better, but peeps there are GROSS germs out there! ))

The girls ate and mini me dashed off to the play structure. Lil Muffin attempted to go play as well, so i instructed Mini ME to stay behind her and follow her thru. (thank the LORD ballpits are no more.. GROSS!) All of a sudden, BLOOD curdling scream. IT.was.mine.. dangit.. I hear mini me yelling, "mom, she wont go down!"

Muffin was TERRIFIED of the slide, arching her back.. it was bad.. and it was a HUGE scene, with a PACKED play area- apparently EVER other mother and Grandmother thought lunch there today was a fantastic idea as well.

I thought i could look up the slide so she could see me and would feel confident enough to come down... TO NO AVAIL. I tried for 5 minutes.. until.. i knew I HAD TO GO UP THERE..

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH- its like shoving yourself in a little people's world. It was horrible, and whoever saw it got a show!

Jeans and tank tops, had to go BARE FOOT- i get to the slide, there are kids crammed all around watching... i'm closter-phobic... the smell of stinky feet, kids and socks PERMIATED the area..

.. i cant calm Muffin down, so mini me goes down the slide first.. as i ATTEMPT to put my right leg in the slide, duck and hit my head over and over. ... I'M.STUCK! my right leg is DOWN the slide, my LEFT is hooked in some akward position in the left side. i break my toenail.. i swear and one point i thought my pants may split due to my very unsightly position. I finally get down..

.. and i only WISHED i couldve had my BEST friends there who have been thru everything with me to laugh and laugh.. knowing that only these random, funny things are my life..

- We get home awhile later and the first thing we do when we get home? STRIP DOWN FOR THE BATH and wash those germs off ;)

What WILL tomorrow hold? No one knows -

But.. i can confidently say that Chuck E. Cheese is and will NEVER be on the menu to go do
