She seems to be maturing at a faster rate, than I am.  In fact- at times I feel like I’m regressing!  Maybe eventually we’ll meet in the middle, …become equals? 

That was just my ‘poetic side’ coming out- like I’d EVER let her think we could be EQUALS? Ha! …

It took everything I had, not to laugh throughout the whole ‘getting to know you,’ hour! I coughed a couple of times… thought about death… ANYTHING not to LAUGH!  …

The Air conditioning is now WORSE, than it WAS. Go figure.  I tried calling them to come back and fix it again, and the phone doesn’t work.  This is like a Bad Dream… it’s 101 degrees in the NIGHTIME!

I bought Grease Lighening, to clean paint off of cement.  I honestly thought John Travolta might step out of the bushes and dance with me, but… no… and, yes, I’m the culprit that spilled the paint, and I won’t rest till I FIX the MESS. After all, I’m the one that threatened my kids’ lives, if they should spill a DROP!  It changed the color to a lighter shade of pale, and I just sprayed it again, before coming in for the night. 

Of course, now I’m worried, that some Animal will come up on the  porch, lick the cement, and drop dead while we sleep?  My imagination is my own worst enemy!  I will go down and wash it off after I’m done writing, otherwise I risk Not Sleeping.

The dogs rolled in something, and they looked so funny while doing it, that the girls and I just watched and laughed!  We had no idea that it was really SOMETHING, that they were Rolling in!  We smelled and gagged! Bath time followed immediately for both!  I almost had to  HANG the smaller dog, to get him to just stand Still!  Then he realized how much he Liked it, having me rub shampoo on him! Always a learning experience…even for a dog.

Then, I finished with a wonderful radio show at night.  Such a great way to end the less than perfect day!  Beautiful friends, talking together on the radio.  Engaging in conversations we WANTED to talk about! An Hour of commiserating, comparing, laughing, enjoying!  Here’s the link if you’d like to listen.  http://divshare.com/download/12045779-91di  Bll Sobel, Mitch Lebe,  Michael Schoen,  Joel Raab,  Don Tandler– all were so smooth and entertaining.  Everyone was respectful of time, and each other.  I loved it!  I suspect, they did too!  We may even turn it into a full blown sample through Bill’s networking!  If so, you’re all invited!

By now if you’ve kept up with my moving saga, you know of all the little things I’ve been learning and seeing, while sometimes in a state of SHOCK, other times, in a state of euphoria!

One of the latest episodes involved my 3 youngest kids painting their rooms. …

Let me tell you what brought me there in the first place:  My kids wanted to paint their rooms.  I sweated bullets throughout the whole ordeal! “WATCH the CEILING! CAREFUL OF THE WOOD FLOORS!… etc.”  They finally finished, I breathed a sigh of relief, packed up the left over paint in garbage bags, smiling… took one step outside my house with the garbage and the bags BROKE!  Blue Paint spilled all over my front stoop!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  I was fit to be tied! 

I decided Home Depot was my answer.  I walked in, with trepidation, and there he was!  He was my ‘dream man!’  He even used these words: “Home Depot, is all About CUSTOMER SERVICE!”   I was in SHOCK! Who says this?? …
