oodles of stuff

oh holy hell---it's been so long since i've blogged, it took an act of congress and my first born to get back in here. so much going on, i don't even know where to begin. i'll start with today's happenings, here goes my rambling.

So I tried being a landlord which didn't exactly work out, my renter moved out without notice and without rent, so I immediately put my house on the market. 2 1/2 weeks later, we had a buyer. The offer was less than desirable, but you gotta do what you gotta do. For me, it was more of an emotional attachment that I needed to cut the ties on. That has been hard for a lot of people to understand, most people see the $$, and don't' get me wrong, I saw that too, but the bottom line was about me moving on. Jimmy is closing today, I'll close tomorrow. We've gotten (sometimes) where we CAN be around one another without fighting, but it is sometimes difficult. Initially, we were scheduling our closings separately because he was being an ass, but today we can actually get along, regardless.....we close this week. Money will be wired next week! Chapter closed, onto writing the next one.

Baseball is just around the corner and I cannot tell you how excited I am. It's so chaotic and I sometimes can't keep my head on straight, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE baseball season...and I hope my boys do too! Who can resist fluorescent lukewarm cheese on stale chips? not me!

Chips.....yummmmm, that brings me to the next topic. Diet and exercise come hand in hand, right? A few weeks ago I took a kickboxing class. Loved it [Get Fit (moving to the old Tammy's Dance Studio by Quizno's in March)]. Then I took ZUMBA. REALLY loved it. So my goal was 3 classes per week. I aimed high considering the classes start at 6 PM in hatchie and I commute from dallas...basically, I have to leave work about 15-20 minutes early to have time to come home, change and get there. Difficult, yes - impossible, no. I did good for 3 weeks straight, then I got sick, the snow came in, rylan had a stomach bug, i got sick (again, or STILL), so I missed two weeks. I was out sick yesterday with bronchitis but I was feeling better when I went to pick up kids from school so I decided to go to ZUMBA and try to sweat out the toxins. I did feel better, went home and steam cleaned the carpets, cleaned the kitchen, it must have worked. Feeling much better today.

My honey bunches comes home today. He's been traveling a lot lately, but that's what he does.
