Hi.

So Im not sure that Ive said anything, but for the past 2 weeks or so, my kids and I have been cleaning my grandmas house. Eric has even put in his 2 cents.

My older brother doesnt want the house empty for any amount of time, so my oldest son is moving in.

There were occupants in the house up until about 3 weeks ago and they left the house a mess. They left in a hurry and they said they cleaned. Im still trying to figure out what they cleaned, but thats besides the point.

They left not only a mess, but the left mice. Not sure how many, but its more than one. We are still finding mouse poop all over the place. I have Decon'd the place and we have patched holes. I think its finally under control. What a pain.

We painted the bathroom. It was a beautiful 70's green color and now its a bright yellow. I love yellow. It looks amazing. We also painted a bedroom. Its getting there.

It seems that everyday somebody is over there doing something. I think all thats left is to get a steam cleaner to do the carpets and finish up the kitchen. We are also going to put in a ceiling fan and a new kitchen light. Minor things.

Its weird being in 'grandmas house'. Its almost like shes moving in, not my son.

Travis has always liked the house and he has even talked to my brother about buying it in a few years. That would be cool, I guess. I wont be here in a few years and it will be strange for him to stay somewhere I dont want to be.

Eric is moving out here. Thats still sinking in. Im so excited and scared at the same time. Its a life changing event for him. Not so much me, because Im already here.

To think that this is the start of the rest of our lives. Whoa! I never wouldve thought I would be in this position again. A serious relationship. I gave up on men. Where did he come from?? Regardless of what I wanted in the past, I know this is what I want for my future. And I cant wait!!

Work is going ok. Im not fucking up as much. Maybe only once or twice a day instead of constantly. Which is good.

For some reason, the store manager likes me. He wanted to know if I liked my hours. I told him I would like more. Something more consistent would be nice too. Hes going to work on that. Cool. Cant wait.

Kids are all good. My daughter got her test results back from her heart doctor. Shes got a leaky heart. Not sure what the hell that means, because she talked to the doctor and not me. I need to make a phone call this week to get the scoop. Shes going to be inconvenienced by a yearly heart check for this problem. No biggie. I dont think.

Not much else. Waiting for my man to get here hopefully this week. We have a wedding to go to on the 1st of November. That will be fun.

Ok...All for now. Going to see if the kids want to watch a movie. Eric is on the phone right now with Hailey, my youngest, as her computer crashed. Something about Operating system not found. Whatever that means. (dont try and explain)

I hope everyone has a great weekend, or whats left of it.

Talk soon.

Peace out.....

Where'd I come from? Sweetheart, you know I'm from Pittsburgh. That's where I come from... ;)

Okay, I couldn't resist that one.

I love you, and I'll see you soon, baby.

Different people have a different meaning for the word cleaning. My dad's brother is one of those who says he's cleaned, but we think he hasn't cleaned since the 70s, so when it comes time to empty out his apartment there's probably only one way: set it on fire :P

It's gonna be a big change for all of you when Eric moves in, but it will be a good change :-)
