Nothing much

Okay it's 12:45am, Wednesday morning, Tom is working until either 1am or 3am. Held over again like last night. He's on the 3pm-11pm shift this week, which isn't that bad since Sarah is out of school and I'm back to SAHM status. Before it was a nightmare b/c he would leave for work before Sarah came home from school and I got off of work and we would leave for school, daycare and work sometimes before he was fully awake (well, the daycare/work part he is always still sleeping during this shift when Sarah leaves for school). It's all part of life at the Salt Mine, which 20 years from now might be better.

Other updates: We ended up getting 100% of our earnest money back from the other realtor. Apparently the people who had the "other offer" in on MY Country House really wanted to move on it so atleast we aren't out anything on that now. I officially have my own ride!! We went a week ago yesterday (July 7th) to Irving in afternoon rush hour traffic to Westway Ford (I know if you've heard/seen a Westway Ford commercial you're signing the song right now, if not go check out their website (westwayford.com) and check out the last 6-7 seconds of the 3 video about the tax rebate checks (bah, bah, westway fooord) and you will have it burned into your memory!!) ........Anyway, I ended up with a 2005 Ford Windstar SEL (very important letters) she's dark grey with grey leather seats (I've never had a vehicle w/leather and I've had about 20+ cars/trucks in ummm 15 years (gosh I'm getting OLD!!))it's got sliding doors on both sides and a Rear Entertainment Package!!!! The kids have to turn on a DVD every and I mean EVERY time we get in the van!! I can run to Brookshires to get dinner and one MUST go in!! I do love my van though!! She drives really good, has a great radio and the a/c will freeze you out once she get's the inside cooled down. The only bad things so far I have found is:
Can't get the cruise control to set
The replacement keyless entry fob is going to cost me $45
A duplicate key is going to cost me $65 for 1 or about $85 for 2!! Wow!!! right??? Apparently there is a sensor in this little darling that makes is worth it's weight in gold......well maybe aluminum. Anyway, if you only have 1 key, you get to pay out the booty for a 2nd BUT!!!! if you already have 2 and just WANT a 3rd key (never had a 2nd spare key to a car before either but I will have soon) it will only cost about $20 to have it cut b/c they don't have to program it for you, I can "DO IT MYSELF" since I will have 2 other keys that apparently train the 3rd key.

WOW!!!! I wish I would have known this BEFORE signing papers and leaving the dealership on the 7th!! Someone would have been getting me a 2nd key before we agreed to this deal!! Seriously!! Live and learn right???

I have lots of pictures that I need to get on the computer so I can put some here and on my myspace just incase I have people that regularly check them. In my "dream world" I think that people that I used to work with might check up on the growth of the kiddos. But in reality I know most people are like WHO?? I know on my myspace there are people on my friends list from school, relatives, and of course my sisters!

Most of tonight I have been reading the bulletin boards on Babycenter.com, apparently the Old BBC, the bargin hunter board. Don't let the bargin hunter name fool you, sometimes there are bargins to be found other times, it's just random things. Everyone is currently concerned b/c the NEW BBC has opened and the Old BBC will be closing soon. Anyway, there was a bulletin about blogs and everyone listed theirs so I jumped on the bandwagon and put mine there to so -

HI BBC BHB MOMMIES!!!

After looking thru alot of the other blogs I have planned updates to this one.

• I'm definately going to work on the background and jazz it up a bit.
• I'm going to use the kids nicknames more, because that is just cute!! Sarah is lovingly known as Hotrod or Princess, or the newest Drama Momma. Joshua is normally either called JW, JR, Booger, or my Uncle Darren calls him Squirrel. I personally normally call him Paco Dominquez ........why I do not know. Back on track more on the nicknames later>>>>>
• I'm going to do the x# of random things about me. I'm not thinking I'll do the 100 but maybe 20. We'll see how it goes.
• I've added a thing on the left of the screen that shows who visits and where they are from, when the come to my page and when they leave. It is NOT accurate on location though b/c it shows I'm visiting from Lindale, Tx which in reality is about 30ish minutes away from me, however, it could be the location of some sort of relay thing for our cable??
• There should also be a little sign showing where you are visiting, if not keep watching it'll be there asap!
• Maybe a counter to show the # of peeps that check me out! Hopefully some comments will be the results of these visits.
• Maybe a Goal of things list...
