What a Day!

I can't believe I haven't posted in almost a week. Lots has happened. We finally have Internet on all the computers. We had to order cards for the desktops. The family is happy with their toys back online. We still don't have TV hooked up yet. I haven't heard back from the landlord on putting up a dish and cable is so expensive (ripoff).

Anyway, my day today started off normal. Except the girls actually didn't start off fighting. Actually, they really didn't fight today. That was very nice. Wonders never cease!

When I checked the mail, the loan check was finally there! So, we drove to Lee's work so he could sign it. Then off to the bank to deposit it and get a cashier's check off to my wonderful property manager. Yea!! They can start fixing up my house next week. In 3 weeks it should be complete and up for rent. I hope whoever rents it loves it like I do. I know it is a material thing, but that was my dream house. Anyway, it will be fixed up like it was when it was new. I am excited about that.

After taking care of those errands, we surprised our neighbors from the apartments. I called Alyssa because I could locate her number quickly from my history. I was 3 minutes from the apartments. She was pulling in and waited for us to get there. She was going to Trish's to watch A Haunting (something I introduced them to). She goes into Trish's and says she has a surprise as we walk in. Trish was so surprised. BJ was asleep on the sofa (he's not feeling well, works and goes to school) and Leann was there. So, I got to see everyone. We went upstairs and saw our other neighbors who just had a baby. It was wonderful seeing them again.

While we were there, Trish showed my kids the scary maze game. Kimber had trouble finishing it, so Stina took over. They had the monitor hooked up to a TV size screen. Kimber was right in front of it. She screamed and ran crying to me. Stina said, "What the...." Anyway it was funny.

Of course, poor unsuspecting, trusting Lee, got to try his hand at the game. Oh my goodness, was that hilarious. Stina video taped it. Lee moved pretty fast when it popped up. I laughed so hard I had tears. The girls were rolling too. They couldn't wait to pull it on him. I don't know how he puts up with me. Some pranks are just too much fun to resist.

We went to a haunted corn maze tonight with the neighbors. It was fun. We didn't get scared. We had more fun scaring the workers. I was scaring Stina by lightly grabbing her leg. I did it to Lee too. It was fun messing with everyone else. What can I say, the kid in me won. We also played in the kids area. We slid on the slide, rode the all terrain pedal carts. Lee, Trish and Alyssa jumped with the kids. There was a corn pit instead of sand. The girls got buried and loved it. Stina had corn in her pants and shoes. She griped about that all the way home. It was a great night.

Well, kids are ready for bed. I had better close this for now. They had to take showers because the corn made them so dusty. Until next time...
