In a months time my daughter will be turning 12 and my son will be turning 10. So I have decided that it’s about time that they start helping me around the house. So for the past week they have been doing the dishes and earlier this morning I got them to fold the laundry. Now if I could only get them to clean their rooms. They like helping me with the household chores, just not cleaning their rooms. But at least I didn’t have to do the dishes or the laundry today. This gave me extra time to clean out my bathroom. I can’t believe how much old stretch marks creams, vitamins and lotions that I ended up throwing away. But at least I don’t have to do the dishes any longer.

Yesterday I started cleaning out my home office once again. Man… it seems like I’m doing this chore all the time. The problem is, is that my husband continues to store stuff in my room which forces me out of the room and back at the kitchen table. So yesterday I decided that I want to use my room once again for what it’s intended. So I started clearing out all the junk. I also had to throw away my printer as it is broken. But I’m not concerned about that as I know I can utilize some online printing services until I get a new printer.

I know I’ve said this time and time again. But I’m going to say this once again. Once I get back into my room, I am never, ever going to let my husband boot me out again.

I don’t think my garbage man is going to be real impressed with me today when he comes around to pick up the garbage. Over the past couple of days I have been doing some major spring cleaning and I have thrown out a lot of stuff. I managed to get rid of a lot of old bottles of creams, eczema creams, hairspray containers and a whole lot more. Well this all went out in the trash and today he will have to come get it. Over the next couple of weeks I plan on doing all my extra cleaning so I can see this man being displeased with me for a couple of more weeks. Oh well, all this junk has got to go!

You wouldn’t believe how happy I am today knowing that the end of the week is finally here. My two youngest children were home this week on March break and let me tell you all, this was no fun for me. I’m not kidding, they spent their entire week fighting. So I spent my entire week yapping at them and now I’m in need of a break myself. Thank goodness Monday morning is just around the corner. That means that these two will be back in school and I will have a small amount of peace for a while. I really think I would rather have bariatric surgery than have to put up with another week like I did this past week. But with the weekend here and their father going to be around all weekend, maybe I’ll get a tiny bit of peace after all.

I really wish my husband would make up his mind!!! One day we are fixing the trailer up to sell it and buy a house, and the next day he has plans for serious renovations for us to stay put. Honestly, I don’t care which way we go, but I would really love to know if I am moving or not. Yesterday he went out to the hardware store and purchased some floor tiles for the kitchen and today he plans on stopping at the same store to purchase some carpet. I still don’t know if this work is being done for us to move or if it’s being done for us to stay. Maybe one of these days he will make up his mind and let me in on our decision. lol

We are a little late in doing this this year, but with all the nice weather we have been having this fall, it’s been a little difficult to envision all the white snow that will soon be piled upon us. But with this being almost the end of November, I think it’s time to get ready for the white stuff. The first thing I’ve got to do is find an inexpensive motorhome towing company to move my trailer to storage for the winter. The next thing I need to do would be to sell my old car that is in the driveway to clear up space. If I can remove these two large vehicles out of the yard, we will then have room for all our other stuff as well as a lot of room to pile up all the snow when the time comes. Now all I have to do is to get on the ball.

During the month of October my husband was awarded the safety employee of the month award. This is something new that they are doing with his company and he was the first employee to receive this award. Apparently they look at things like proper use of safety products , and the fact that he’s been employed there for over 11 years with absolutely no accidents. And the best part of this award was the cash bonus he received in his paycheck! So I guess it pays to work safe not only for your health, but for your pocket book as well.

I am so tired of pouring money into this house. I’m ready to get rid of it now and move onto something else. This past weekend my husband and I spent quite a bit of money at the home depot store buying kitchen tile. I really didn’t want to make this purchase, but if we want to sell our home in the spring and sell it quickly, this tile in the kitchen really does need to be replaced. I just hope that when we do finally sell this place we will see some of this money come back to us in the purchase price. But if not, I guess as long as well sell it and don’t have to poke any more money into it, that would be OK too.

I want to move so bad… that this is all I think about. I constantly have thoughts on hiring moving companies New York and even going to live in the streets. That’s how bad I hate it here. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. In the spring my husband’s car will be paid off so we won’t have a car payment any more and will be able to swing a mortgage. So if I can only make it through the fall and winter months here, my dream may just come true. And no, I won’t be living in the streets, but due to some circumstances well…. beyond my control, I have had some serious thoughts about it.

Ten years ago my husband and I purchased our mobile home. At the time we had plans of paying it off, fixing it up and then selling it and buying a house. Well we paid it off three years ago and…. we’re still here. Last night my husband was telling me that in the Spring he plans on putting our home up for sale and looking for a manufactured home. In the spring his car will be paid off so he won’t have a car payment to worry about. It makes sense, but I really wish that we could move now!! I absolutely hate where we are living. But, it won’t take very long and spring will be here so I guess I can hold off until then. Guess I’m going to have to now aren’t I??
