Just a rainy day

It’s a rainy day here so I am stuck inside but hey that’s okay.  Maybe I will catch up on sleep, all the shows I dvr’ed or mmm housework!!!  Okay we can strike the housework part, I so am not in the mood for that.  Besides as I sit here enjoying the computer, hubby is hard at work.

The guy has our bedroom totally torn apart.  Seriously I mean bed frame out on the back deck, mattresses leaning on the walls and all drawers open and ready for a good cleaning.  Where on earth does the man get all his energy???  He decided since he can’t be outside, he will find a project inside.  yeah to me a project would be hitting the couch and catching a few zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz’s.  To him it’s get the house weeded out even more.

See in three  years we put up the for sale sign here and pray it sells fast.  Then we head over to Nampa, Idaho and start our life once again.  We want to be close to our daughter, her hubby and the girls.  The only reason we even stayed in Washington state was for the twins.  We just knew that eventually we would have them, and sure enough our instincts proved to be correct.  But dang I still wish we could have gotten them sooner than 10 but I am thankful we did get them, and could give them a much better life than what they had.

So now they are graduated, heading to college in the fall and soon will be on their own.  Both are talking about Idaho also and I have told them, no matter where our home is, they will always have a room.  I don’t want them to feel we are going to abandon them, cause no way, never happen!!!!

Hubby needs to work 3 more years( darn) before he can retire.  We want to make sure we are comfortable and not living from payday to payday.  We want to enjoy our new life in Idaho, and we do have our goals set.

In the meantime we do have to weed this place out.  Oh my gosh, the stuff we have and don’t need, it’s crazy!!!  I guess we both feel we have to have a zillion things or we can’t live, hahaha.  Now we are find out these zillion things are just hanging around and we aren’t using them.  Thank goodness for the Good Will right down the road.  Lately we have taken many trips there.

Should I be in there helping him out??  You bet I should, but I want to bake some banana bread, finish the laundry then it will be time to get mama up and started on her day.  Also  it’s haircut day around here.  Yeah hubby needs a “buzz” so he will stop work for a few minutes for that. Also Bryce needs a trim, cause they did mention his hair was too long at work last night.  I so want to cut his hair real short, but he says no way, darn!!!  Mama also need a trim as her hair grows so fast.  When she wakes up with her “bed head” I know it’s time to get out the scissors.

I did go to beauty school, so yes I do know what I am doing!!!!  I would never even attempt to cut anyone’s hair if I didn’t.  Actually though I didn’t get my license. I was a few hundred hours from going to the state board when hubby got orders for Germany. After spending 3 yrs over there, I would have had to start from the get go, so never did.  My darling daughter and granddaughter have always dedicated the song “Beauty School Drop Out” to me.  Nice kids huh?  But they are always the first to ask for a trim, color, etc tee hee. They love me and I know it!!!

We “bowled” til 2am once again last night.  I tell you we are hooked and do have Wii wii itis real bad.  Haha all our aches and pains we still manage to bowl every night and do look forward to it.  Now you all know we are crazy over here right??  I mean a “grandma and grandpa” hooked on a video game of all things!!  haha I even have to laugh at that one!!!  It’s fun, we don’t have to go out to bowl and what the heck we do enjoy it.  Just slap on a tad more ben-gay, gulp down some extra strenght tylenol and the ol farts are ready to rock and roll!!!  The drugstore loves our Wii addiction hahaha.

I was reading all the blogs this morning and you know I couldn’t help but think of all you young mom’s with your beautiful children.  You all need some kind of award for being so caring, responsible and for the care and upbringing you are giving your children.  Come on you all know I am right.  There are so many parents out there that just have the children for the sake of having them.  All of you that blog on here truly show that you had your children to complete your life.  You are all doing a fantastic job and I know your children are happy and healthy.  You are raising our future generation in the correct way.  No matter how bad things get in the world, you children will now the right from wrong, and your children will truly know what real love is.  It’s so nice to know that too.  Hubby and I often wonder about some people.  I mean the news is full of sad things that happen to the children, the ones that end up in foster homes or worse.  But all of  you in my lil “blogging world” well I just have to give you a HUGE HUGE kudo’s.    I so enjoy reading about the progress of your family and love the pictures you post.   Each and every one of you should pat yourselves on the back for your great parenting skills.

Yeah I rattle on sometimes don’t I?  I just get all these thoughts in my head and have to write about them as they “form.”  Some days I am a jumbled mess, haha but I guess that’s just me.  I could ramble on for days, but won’t.  I will get off here and get busy on my baking.  MMMM I so love banana bread warm with the melted butter.  Come on over and have some with me!!!
