Poor Thing!

She's totally BUMMED! My girl has been waiting for the cast to come off for 6 long long weeks. We took her in yesterday and the Orthopedic doctor told her she needed a NEW cast for another 3 weeks.

The most upsetting part of it was that the cast is BLACK! She was pissed they didn't have a choice of colors like they did at Children's in Denver. She went from cute hot pink to black.

Look at that face. Soooo sweet, beautiful...and pissed about black! LOL.

HERE COMES THE SUN....

Here Comes The Sun....
Porch View
My Swing (Can you seee it?)

Same View From The Dining Room....Sweet isn't it?

Due to my Mama D comments..lol. As much as I'd like her to come and take a peek for herself..I guess I'll just post a few a day. I'm completely moved in to the house. I love it here. The house needs some decorating. It needs color! You'll notice all the white. The funny thing is that in person the white has character. All the paned windows fabulous old molding around the doors. The wood floors have been kept up with each family. I'm sure they've been redone a few times, but the original wood is here.

We have the ocean on one side...ok actually the York River...but we're right next to it feeding into the Atlantic. Yorktown is where the American Revolution was won. It's an amazing little spot where an amazing piece of History took place. Across that river in the pictures, is where Cornwallis took his stand against Washington. I live where Washington and his army won the last battle of the war. Just a little piece of info for you all. If I got any of that wrong my teachers out there will let me know..I'm sure. :)
Dining Room (Decorating to be done...)
Living Room

Golf View from that window in the living room. Look beyond that first tree line. :) Golf view.

School clothes and a Glimpse!

Mama D...here's a little glimpse at the living room and one of the doors to the sunroom. I know I know..I've sucked with the pictures lately. I think it's because I HATE my camera.

Here, my friends, are just a couple of pictures of the girls. You will notice thier "Stylish" ensembles. Yes, those are leggings under the skirt. It's what they're wearing. LOL. They gave me a full on fashion show, but I couldn't take pics of all the outfits. If I did...then I'd have to hear all the different combinations they could do with all their clothes. OH MY! The mini me girlies.
School isn't until the 5th. ONE MORE WEEK! WOOOOHOOOO!!!!

Right this very second.....

RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND

• The kids are screaming at the top of their lungs. Yep..chasing the dogs...running back and forth (mommy it's too hot outside), oh taking a moment between snacks 15 and 16 of the day. Ok, not really 15 and 16 but it seems like that many.
• Now the kids are chasing one another for the right to handcuff the other one! Lovely!
• I'm watching this group of guys on the golf course playing speed golf.
• I'm waiting for the Orange Glo'd floors in the hall to dry! They look soooo cute!
• I'm breathing slowing in order to not feel the urge to take a Valium!
• Also trying not to stress the fact that we took another 10K off the house. We're getting pretty close to just giving the house away.
• Hmmmmm What Else.....
• Watching my Ava dance to London Bridge....that song is slightly disturbing..for my 7 year old to be dancing to.
• Now I'm going back to reading "The World Is Flat."

TTFN My Friends...

They're Everywhere!!!!!!!!!

I have seen more wildlife creatures in the last two weeks than I have in my entire life!!!!!

I'm from California. Coastal Cali, for that matter...and I'm not used to this. I've had the trash gone through about 7 times until we discovered the bungie cord to keep it closed. LOL.

The Squirrels have thrown Acorns from the trees down at me!!! They've knocked on the door! YUCK YUCK YUCK. Squirrels are rodents...I think..lol. Anyway...I'm rodent phobic. LOL.

Ok...house hasn't sold. Crap crap crap. Ok...it will.

I DON'T GET IT!

Here's my boy and his self portrait. LOL. Ok, back to my confusion. How is it that 5 year olds can be on "hardcore" soccer teams? I'm at a loss. My husband tells me I'm easy on the whole competitive thing. Shouldn't they just have fun? They're sooooo serious about soccer here for the 5 year olds. There are some little kicking machines out there. They're going to win, ball hog, slide and steal from their own team. I'm getting used to this whole mom of a boy thing. (5 years in) He doesn't know what to make of the whole mean team thing. I was proud of him, though..he told one boy he wasn't sharing. LOL. Oh well..I know...I'm stressing the small stuff. Oh and if I didn't make this clear...my boy is soooo far from being a wuss. He's a tough little dude. I just wasn't expecting this kind of team.

At least he's not like his oldest sister. I remember when she was 5 and was playing. She stood near the goal during games singing Britney Spears songs, along with some cute little moves. Needless to say, she didn't make it many years with the fall madness..lol.

So, today's the princess's day to begin with her new team. She is so not like me...she won't take crap from the boys on her team...so they better be nice..lol. Yes....Co-Ed Teams.

Finally...SOMEONE BUY MY HOUSE! It's a great deal, gorgeous, great schools, great investment property..lol...New Carpet, New Pain, New Air Conditioner....hmmmm yep we're basically giving it away. LOL.

That's about all I have. Me stressing about small stuff and the house. SO, I guess life is pretty good. :)

Our new playground

Just a few shots from our little harbor around the corner. How cute cute cute is it?

Friday thoughts....

• Soccer starts on Monday. One has practice M&W and the other T&Th. Games are on Saturday. LOL. Busy Busy.
• The oldest is doing Swim Team Development. That's right ...more.
• Quick thought...I did girl scouts (free) and was happy. Hmmm wait, no,my mom had me in Acting classes in LA, repatory theatre at South Coast Plaza...dance, and ok they were busy too..lol. WOW...I forgot all of that.
• I'm completely and totally unpacked.
• As I watch "What Not To Wear" I'm thinking how totally frumpy I am these days. Oh and the few little pieces of gray hair...suck! I need a serious colorist!
• I need some friends here or I'm going to go out of my fucking mind in solitude. LOL.
• Anything else...hmmm....oh yes...How do I find another Dr. Calm?!
• Oh and take a look at my baby Mocha. He looks nothing like my fluffy baby. Let's just say I will be finding another groomer. He's been traumatized...LOL. Poor Mochs.

Just A Few Little Pics Of The House and Water...

There is it my friends...a view from my windows. My house is cute, too! Don't you think? LOL. I love the little Geese, too. They waddle all over the Golf Course. I'll get better pics, but I've been waiting for the whole computer connection thing to get set up after the move! TaaaDaaaa!

Home Sweet Home..

We are here. I'm almost entirely unpacked...and we're getting settled.

My hubby really found us an amazing home. It's beautiful. We have a view of the golf course in the front and a view of the ocean. It's tranquil and perfect. I love it here.

Ok, off to finish my room. Computers are hooked up and now to find my camera computer cord. LOL.

Hmmm...maybe a picture or two might be on the way!

Tales From The Money Pit Part 4

In the never ending saga of the house in TN (my cute sweet house,)we have yet another thing to day.

On a quick recap...here it goes. First new paint (all one neutral color all through the house.) Then it was new carpet through the entire house. Lovely, I know. Let's not forget the fact that we had to have a friend go in and unclog the toilet and change some filters for us. Finally....the air conditioner...is fried. LOL. If we don't laugh we'd just cry. LOL. Hopefully we can get the $2,000 covered with the HVAC contract or with the home warranty. The paint and the carpet are in...soooooo hopefully this will be gone soon!

Hopefully we don't have any money pit reports....:)

One More Day..!!!

I have one more day in this hotel!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait and I think my kids can tell. LOL. It's a fabulous hotel and yes the dogs are boarded, but I'm ready for a little less together time. Not much hot sex to be had or fantasized about, for that matter.

It's hot all over and I hope you guys are staying cool. I'm ready to set up my desk and enjoy my ocean view. Oh by the way...if I didn't already mention it..I have an ocean view from most windows of the house!

Ok....I'll write more when I get out of here!
XOXO
