Author: Charlotte |  Category: life  | Tags: , , , , ,  | One Comment

The movers will be here between 9 and 10 am 1 week from today. Our stuff will be going into storage at the moving company until we can find a place to go. Between 2 and 3 that afternoon the carpet cleaners will be here to clean the carpets (we have to do that before we turn over the keys… it’s in the lease).

We will be staying at hubby’s brothers in our camper trailer. I just hope we don’t end up killing each other before we find a place to live. This should prove to be interesting!

Edited to add: My landlord is being a total jerk!! He won’t give us the 2 extra days we need. Hubby doesn’t get paid til October 2nd. The landlord wants us out on September 30th. Now we have to try and borrow the money for the movers.

Below is what I’ve been up to the past couple weeks.

23 Sep 2009 Mah MawMaw is buzy
Author: Charlotte |  Category: family  | Tags: , , ,  | Comments off

JoJo Mah MawMaw haz been very buzy. She takes stuff and puts it in these big, brown, square things she calls bockes. I like to get inside them but she makes me get owt. That don’t make me very happy. She says we are moving but I don’t know what that is. Things look so different here with all these bockes all over teh place. I just hope she don’t put my litter bocks and fud dish in one of them things. Where will I go? What will I eat?

MawMaw tells me we are gonna live in a trailer for a little bit. What is that? I hope there is windows so I can look owtside. She tells me it will be small. I hope theres room for my litterbocks and fud dish. I hope theres room for me too run cuz I get crazy sometimes and run thru the house and down the hall and jump up on the walls then back again.

Ahnyways I better end this before MawMaw sees me at her puter.. shes putting stuff in bockes in her bedroom.

Byyyyyyeeeeeeeee !!! Meow!!!

My friend Kat is adopted and this morning she found her 2 brothers and sister. She was watching the Today Show and they had a segment on about 2 men who worked at that same place and found out they were brothers then a few days later found a sister. Tomorrow they will meet yet another sister.. Kat.

The Today Show is flying Kat to NY and she’ll be on the show tomorrow. I am so happy for her. I’ve read about stories like this but I never knew anyone it’s happened to.

21 Sep 2009 So far… not so good

We’ve been trying to find a place to move to and we haven’t had much luck. We went to see a couple places and the 1st one was $1150 a month and wasn’t really a bad size except our dining room furniture wouldn’t fit in the dining area (tiny, tiny, tiny), the closets had no doors (just shelves on a wall), absolutely no pets allowed (landlord has a big dog though) and the biggest thing was the house was literally 5 feet away from the landlord’s house.

Then we went to see a double wide on it’s own lot. That place was $925 a month and was so tiny. The “master suite” looked like only a twin bed would fit in it. The 2nd bedroom was so small if you put a twin bed in it it would take up the whole room. None of our furniture would fit in this place. You would have to be a little person to live there. The ceilings were just a few inches above hubby’s head and he’s 6’2″. It felt very claustrophobic in there.

We’re probably going to have to put our stuff in storage and live in our camper until we can find a place. Not my idea of fun. Hubby, me and the cat… JOY! At least it has a nice kitchen area.

I’m still packing away here. Hubby brings home a few boxes at a time from work otherwise I’d probably be done by now, if I had more boxes.

Andi, her boyfriend Drew and Benton were here this weekend. Benton is such a good baby and rarely cries. Drew is officially Benton’s dad. He stepped up and adopted him. He’s a good guy. Hubby likes him so that’s saying something.

07 Sep 2009 Finally found one..
Author: Charlotte |  Category: life  | Tags: , , , , , ,  | 5 Comments

I finally found a new theme for my blog. What do you think? I had to get rid of the Army colors since the Army has pissed of both Andi and I for a long time.

I think the colors are calming and soothing. I just have to fix a couple things but I think I’m quite happy with this one.

On to other things… We are still looking for a place to live. We went to see one today that they want $925 a month for but…. It was the tiniest house I’ve ever seen. I don’t think my stuff would fit in that place. It’s just a little crackerbox house and they’re nuts if they think they’re going to get that much a month for it. It comes with a washer and dryer but no refrigerator and there is another small house, on the same lot, that is less than 5 feet away. Scratch that one off the list.

I’ve been doing a lot of packing and cleaning so as soon as we find a place we can just move on out.

04 Sep 2009 I am still alive….

Really I am… I’ve just been really busy trying to find a place to live and packing. I haven’t really had much time to do any postings here or on any of my blogs.

Benton is doing great. Andi said he had his 1st doctor appointment yesterday and he’s gained back the weight he lost after his birth and then some and is “the picture of health”.

Problems are still running rampant in this family though. Andi was visited by the bank’s repo guy the other day and now she no longer has a car. She told me that on the good side of that she no longer has a $520 a month car payment on a car she doesn’t like. That is all the Army’s fault as she hadn’t gotten a paycheck since the beginning of June and it didn’t help that the bank would not work with her at all. I have Ford Motor Credit for my car and I’m behind in my payments too but they are working with us. They say they want to keep their customers and vehicles together. They deferred the 2 months we are behind and tacked them on to the end of the loan. So we are good to go.

So since Andi won’t be able to come here with the baby we will probably be making a quick trip to Pennsylvania to see them soon. I can’t wait to see Andi and Benton. We’ll get to meet her boyfriend Drew too.

JoJo has been helping me pack. She’s been the “inspector”. She gets on the packed boxes and even in the empty boxes to “inspect” them and give her seal of approval. She climbs into open cabinets and drawers… basically getting in way being cute.

Well… back to work.. there’s lots to clean and pack!!
