Welcome to Gaia! ::

blah.. My mood is whack today. Hubby did something that made the internet drop and I got so mad. I was thinking I wanted to yell at him or seriously strangle him. Then I realized how crazy that was. At least I realized I was being irrational but still..

I'm just in a bad mood I guess smile

That is good news, Syllandra!

Happy New Year! (Better late than never I hope^^)

I'm headed back to work full time tomorrow. Gabe is 3 months, 1 week old. Ryan will be home with him all day every day but I wont get to see him until I get home from work at night for maybe an hour until he goes to bed. I hope two things: That this is enough time for me and for him every day, and that my job doesn't make me as miserable as it did before.

I have some decently good news for the new years as well. One is just something interesting for me. and, the other is a huge answer to prayers I've said in those times when i'm like either showering.. or doing projects at work in teh backroom.. lol..

ok. the interesting first. My father in law and his online girlfriend started up t his um.. server for the voodoo chat thing. They wanted their server to be a dedicated internet radio thing. Well, a few weeks back, his dad calls me and asks if i wanted to dj and play music for them. I gave it some thought and talked it over with Josh. I agreed to do it. I haven't officially had my own shows.. that will start this week.. but last week i got to have some test runs with playing my music there. It went over pretty good. And, since more people come on when I've been there sometimes. they asked if I wanted to be given my own chatroom... well, not especially my own. It's actually the 20'ish plus room.. which is supposed to be geared towards bringing in the youthful crowd. I guess they hope I can get a lot of people in there on a regular basis or something. Anyways, I said I would do it. There was a little drama over the whole thing this past weekend.. but... I am mucking through. So that's my neato thing. My first night I did it I had a lot of fun. This week will be my first week giving some live broadcasts here and there. so that should be neat.

Ok. and onto my next bit of thing. I've been reluctant to blab about it too much out of fear of not wantin to jinx it. But.. *lord willing* We are going to be able to move. The mobile home park my mom's family recently moved into.. had another unit where the family there was moving out and selling it for a measely 500 bucks. Well, we went and took a look around. It is jsut hte right size for the three of us. And, the house address is 1333. Which, if you know me at all.. you'd know that has to be a sign in it's own right. My current apartment number is E3. Significant things happen in my life with 3's or major multiples of 3's... well anyways, we went in to look around. We thought at first there has to be something majorly wrong to only get it for 500. But, we went and looked. the only thing that could go wrong with it.. the current owner says the water heater could end up going before the end of the summer. and that could cost us a few hundred to replace. so we're deliberating if we get the place... whether we should just replace it from teh get go. but other than that... everything else is fine. The bedrooms aren't especially huge.. but they are big enough.

The big love for me in this situation is that they are leaving the appliances.. namely the stacked washer and dryer! whee Which makes me ecstatic. Currently, to do the laundry, we have to go downstairs, outside, around the back of the building, through their small little alleyway, downstairs, and into the little utility basement where the machines are. Multiply this with 2-4 loads of laundry a day..and you can get what i mean. and in teh northern midwest where it frequently rains and snows throughout the year [well not snow all year.. but rain all year yes]... this can get a little hokey. And, it's been a prayer of mine FOR YEARS now.. that the Lord would open a door for us to have a new place to live where I won't have to go outside to do the damn laundry. x] and when we looked.. and i asked if the laundry machines were staying and they said yes. I felt like that too was a sign it was meant for us. the outside of the unit is rather plain to say the least.. but i told josh that's something we can beef up over hte years.. adding little this and that to give it some charm of our own.

so yeah. I am still keeping my heart in prayer so nothing changes in that situation. we'll need to save quite a bit of money between now and then. that is a prayer for us as well.. but still.. but, if everything can go according to plan.. this could end up being such a blessing for us.

now the major drawback for us in all of this is... my brother and his fiance who currently live in our 2 bed apartment with us. We cannot take them with us. And, in fact, one of my big desires behind wanting to move was so naaman could have his own room. He's 6 yrs old. And, he has not once so far had his own room. I feel it is high time this child not have to live in his parents bedroom. It is also high time his parents get to have privacy, nes pas? lol.. But, being the older sister, in my heart... I really want my brother to fair well when all's said and done. so.. i gotta keep praying for that as well.. but, i really believe that if the Lord is opening up a door of opportunity for my family unit.. that he won't leave the other two out to hang and dry. they will just have to use this time to prepare for what comes next in their life.

Graceangel: i will pray for you guys. i hope you get to move into the place. i'm kind of weary of numbers like that too. nothing wrong with that. heart goodluck.

I just wanted to say that i can't believe how expensive it is to purchase a donation letter. I am also suprised by the major inflation at the marketplace. Anyone else feel the same?

I hope everyone gets feeling better at your house, Sarah!

I'm glad you figured out what was wrong. Good luck with the treatments!

Yes, it is areal commercial, I have seen it on tv several times now! It cracks me up!
