That sounds like a fun day jedi! Enjoy! I think you and H should still alternate days, even if he doesn't do as good a job. Then you only have to do it 15 times (over the course of the month) which seems much more manageable! Is there any literature you can show him to convince him? Often, DH doesn't believe something I say but if I show it to him from a reliable source or someone else tells him, he's all like oh, OK.... I think it helped having the pest guy talk to him yesterday helped some, because the pest guy said that move whatever furniture you can and vaccum that area. This includes pulling the couch out if you can.i think we caught this early. I'm hoping anyway. And I have my husband to thank for that. If he hadn't said "I think rainy has fleas" I would have thought nothing of that small bug i saw last week. Trigger gross bug story here. My moms horror story consisted of having no clue until the flea started biting my sister (who was less than 1 and crawling). I wasnt born yet. She took her to the doctor and found out what she was covered in was flea bites not a weird rash. They couldn't get rid of them. Had to bomb the house which I guess IS common. No ones getting bite (fx) and I don't see many. I saw two yesterday and some eggs. Pretty sure I saw one or two while vaccuming today. Ugh still so gross.

Hey all. Finally moved out of the old house. I thought I would be more sad than I was. I think it was because I was pissed the entire time we were getting out because my H had SO MUCH SH*T that it took us longer to get rid of the crap we didn't want than pack stuff we did want. I had been begging him for MONTHS to get a dumpster and toss all of the crap in the garage and basement, but Noooooooo, it's too expensive/ *eyeroll* well lesson learned because if I ever think we have too much stuff, I'm not asking to throw stuff away, I'm doing it and will be liberal. My H actually agreed after all was said and done that we should have gotten a dumpster. I about lost it. UGH!!!
But...it's done now and I left my key on the counter yesterday morning after the final walk through, so I'm officially living with my IL's which is difficult for me already and I'm only on day 5. My IL's do not eat vegetables (like, not even frozen) with meals so when they insist we have dinner with them and I ask what I can make, they say nothing, we'll just do meat and boxed mashed potatoes, anything else is too much work. Like WHAT?! No salad, no steamed broccoli, not even frozen peas, or a fruit option? My kids need nutrients! This past Saturday they did a fried food dinner. Literally only fried foods. On Sunday I made lasagna which went over well, but IL's didn't eat any of the salad I made. No wonder they have so many health issues! Their diet is crap! I was finally able to get to the grocery store and got food that's healthy I can make. Fruit, veggies, lean meats....I mean I'm no saint when it comes to food, but I at least TRY to make wholesome meal, even if I cut up an apple with frozen pizza. Not make the excuse that fresh food is too much work.
**i need to breathe** This is only temporary, this is only temporary, this is only temporary. I need to stop being a brat, I know. I'm grateful that we have a place to stay for the short term while we wait for new house to be done. It's just been a very, very stressful few weeks. Eye on the prize....
Good news about new house is that we have garage doors on! WITH OPENERS! I haven't had a garage with a door opener that worked.....ever, and to have an attached garage? I got a little emotional about that.

mamallama, nice to see you! I'm sorry for the bumps you're hitting at the moment, but you're right- IT'S TEMPORARY. It sucks that ILs don't eat anything healthy, just KOKO with supplying your own sides or meals for you guys. You can't change the way the olds are lol.

I signed DD up for gymnastics class. It starts in a few weeks. I'm really excited for her. It's a beginning class with rhythmic dance, bars, and beams. She's been dancing all over the place and trying to do cartwheels, so when she asked to do a class I was more than willing to sign her up! We'll see how the first 6 weeks go.

Betweenthelines, CestLaVie, I have a heater running in my office pretty much year round. It's always cold in here. It's 80 outside, and I'm sitting here with a fleece and my heater.

OMG, Pizzaslut , that sounds like quite the scene! We are constantly warding off wasps. They drive me crazy b/c they always try to build nests on our front porch, once they even started one between the seat and the cushion of one of the chairs. Try painting the ceiling a shade of blue. Also it's super klassy, but you can hang ziplocks of water and that will deter them.

It's only 10 months after our 5 year wedding anniversary, but I'm finally making progress on my rings. I didn't really want to go to some big box jewelry store, so I've been in contact with Sparkly for the last few months. H said I can add to my rings (some bands) to stack them/add more ways I can wear them, and I've really been wanting rose gold bands to go with my platinum e-ring. I'm hoping to have some new rings in the very near future!
