Hola

Well, lets see this week has gone slow but fast, amazing how time flies.. Not much happening cept for today, we are "offically" filed for bankruptcy and it a huge relief on our shoulders, and we are fully paid up cept for the court fees which will get paid in 5 monthly installments no big really.. I am just happy that we can get through this and stop talking about it and the bills and what-not. We'll do the 2nd part of the class which I'll do due to my DH working and its a 4 hr class so I can do that in like 1 or 2 days.. So that'll be cool..

Lets see what else, here we are on the leap year day of 2008 and wonder whats more leap years we're gonna have? Makes one think and wonder before more.. Tomorrow is March 1st and a new month,and I pray a good month to. Then we can have a good summer and not worry about running the A/C and enjoy being cool with out much worry.. I'll enjoy that and finally maybe no talk of money issues and bills.. That'll be nice, but right now I need to focus more on my home how to make it more inviting, cuz I have some ideas but now that things financially are calming down, maybe I can bring my focus more on my home and start the process of getting rid of things that look shabby and buy new and make it more relaxing atmosphere.. I am definatly committed in doing just that and not on things that are only for a short time and b4 I need to do some thing else..

Well, just hope all is well with all of you, and just keep the faith, its hard even for me, but I know God is faithful and just to keep us on the right path and often lets us go off just to remind us of his glory and his greatness before we head back on and go man, I need to stay on this path.. Some times the path isnt clear like right now for DH and I but I know things are going to be good and finally OK.. Near celebrating 7 yrs together marriage wise, is a great step and good accomplishment.. Hope to keep the love strong in the Lord and in each other, and keep the communication open for us to keep learnig about each other and about our love for each other.. We've been through the refiners fire many times,and we've always came out on top and stronger together.. So if you want to know what the prayer request is; its just that, to keep going strong and not let trivial things get in the way of whats truly for our love and our marriage.. Money may make the world turn,but love should be so much stronger than any circumstances we find our-selves in..

May y'all have a great new start on a new month.. See you in March!

Love & Light

Change of Theme

Well, today's is a good deal. Last night I changed the theme on my blog, and much warmer colors and just more not so busy type blog which I like simple and consise.. The one thing though I do enjoy is some day to have a home in warm colors and just surround in love and abide in the warmth of things..

Today was a little stressful but not bad in all in all, even though we started to take care of things and hey I might even have a buyer for my Truck... So I'm happy with things in all in all..

Yes I am an adoptee from age 4yrs old but I was placed at 3mo old near 4mo old.. My parents were loving even though as I got older things started to be more and more.. I miss them so much they passed away 10 yrs ago this year.. My dad espically, I wish I had a scanner to post a picture of my dad. He served in WWII in the Navy, I'd love to have a picture of him as a young man in the Navy.. So now I am near the age of 33 and just enjoying life and my family..

I know I post alot about stress and money and my Husband but thats our life and what we do nearly every week.. So I hope y'all arent to bugged about our every day life, in a few years it will get interesting I am sure.. But for now, I share my life as much as I can to my readers, and share great moments.. Much love to you all...

Love & Light

Spring Cleaning..

Hola

Well, I got to admit we've spring cleaned tonight and it was major cleaning.. It started over the period of the weekend but last night and tonight have been major cleaning like scrubbing down walls, cleaning out cabnets, tossing stuff we dont need or use.. Whew!

Well let me start today out first and then we'll come back to that.. We got up around 8:30-9:00 this morning.. Then we started to get ready to leave at least we thought was 10am.. Well not exactly.. We left around finally 1:00 pm; or 12:30? Anyway the pest control got here and was about to start on our place.. So we were like ok good..Then we left to get lunch at Ihop; then went to the bank to cash DH's check, went to our bank and I put money in it; then we left to get air in the tires; stopped at H&R Block to get last years 2006 taxes (copy) then we left for Target on Clovis here.. Not the one up the street but the smaller one.. Had a great time there, we bought 3 movies and 1 game.. Yeah! The movies were Reservations, Harry Potter Goblet of Fire, (Had to replace that one) and Snow Buddies.. The final one was for my son J. He wanted that movie about dogs he loves dogs.. Esp dog movies and stuffed animals. O I forgot the game.. For my PS 3 its Jericho (SP?) will double check that.. I got it for $34.00 some thing instead of $49.00 It got marked down from $59 each step and found it for that price.. I about fell over.. So I was happy that was my valentine.. I'll get more charms, in a month or so.. No big..hehe

Then we got a coffee drink at 31 Flavors on the way home to open the windows to air out the place, and then left to stop at Trader Joes and Longs.. Where I nearly forgot dipars and soda so I got those items.. Then I called it quites there, I was tired and ready to come home to battle the house cleaning.. We worked on the place, got the kitchen/bathroom done.. I did the bathroom and Dh did the kitchen.. Both look great and clean and best of all, NO germs! Yeah! So that takes me to the first paragraph I wrote.. See above..

So now I am chilling after 3 loads of laundry, a hot bath to kill a headache with 2 advil to help and soak and did lady stuff shave legs and the such.. So I am happy all that I have to do is mail a gift to my g/f and then just relax mostly and chill.. I am glad for that..

So thats been my day and week so far.. I know I only post 1x a week but some times I can post more if alot is happening and this week a wee bit more going on..hehe!

Well, I pray y'all are rested and in the Lord.. Stay safe!

Love & Light

Oh PS..HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

De-Bugging Again..

Aahhhhh! I had a whole post written and it ate it again! Arg..

Hola Again

Well lets see where should I start? I guess from last week.. I went to get some stuff at the store before my DH goes to work..I come home and the "Manager" comes up to me while checking cars for expired tags and asked me if my home was clean? And I was like "What"? So she goes well is your house clean? And I am like yea and? She went on to proceed that the "bugs" were gonig up into the vacant apartment upstairs.. And I SO wanted to say well thats not my fault, now is it? I guess one of the "Maintance" came in to do routine checks on stuff like filters and yada yada,you get my drift well there was a "Little" bit of cheerio's on the floor and previous nights dishes in the sink, but nothing big, I mean we eat and relax and do the dishes in the AM.. Well I guess the "mainance" told the manager that our house was "Dirty" according to him.. Well hello I have a 2 yr old son and he does make a mess when he eats, he's still learning to eat with a spoon/fork and master it.. I do sweep up the food after he eats but some times I do get busy with other things such as laundry or I do dishes things like this not that I'm careless on my home.

So I am livid .. When we paid rent on the 1st, the "manager" asked my DH if our house was clean and DH goes yes, and she goes well if its not cleaned up we'll ask you to move..I was like WTF?! O I was so angry.. She thinks that we're the cause of the bug problem.. No we arent the cause of any thing.. We've told them that there were bugs since last August.. Did they do much about it ? NO.. We've set off 3 bombs, we've sprayed we've cleaned we did every thing, vacuumed up old eggs, swept up shedded wings off the bugs.. I mean we're constantly cleaning some thing up.. Last night my DH cleaned behind the fridge, it was disgusting.. I sweep by the fridge every other day due to crap all over my floor.. So he got behind the fridge and stared cleaning and mopped the wall, and sprayed behind there.. I mean we cant un-plug a fridge or not use a stove for cooking to prevent bugs.. Seems the manager dont see that the apartments are "Infested" majorly.. I keep the place clean to the best of my ability and still no avail on getting rid of bugs..

So I am so fed up but no money to move right now, we've got to do some stuff about our financial stuff out of the way first.. We're pretty close really.. So just gonna do that real soon in fact.. But I cant take the "managers threats" and think its all us.. I am going to talk to the Pest Control and tell him that its NOT our fault there's bugs, its the Manager's fault for not keeping up or his company's fault for not coming out when they said they were.. So I am a little fed up..

Other than that, not much is happening.. DH is fighting a cold and we're going to his mom's for a few hours tomorrow and then on Tues we'll go get his check,cash it and put some of it in the bank and then from there I dont know,due to them coming at 10am to spray we have to be out of the house for at least 4 1/2 hrs before we can re-enter the place and start putting things away again.. So as y'all can see its just like I want to scaream..! AHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway thats been our week here, I know I dont post often not every day due to such high volume of stuff I'm doing .. I did 3 loads of wash tonight and still got towels to wash ( I just did wash on Tues) of last week.. Seems every 4 days or so there's more to do.. *Sigh*

Anywho, be blessed and rested ..

Love & Light
Laura

Super-Bowl Sunday...

Hola All. Well where shall I begin? Today the Giants won and boy what a game! I was so impressed by the Giants team.. So we had a semi good day .. The game topped it off.. The day started off late.. I wont say what time we got up :-X but it was late.. I felt so bad to.. Wonder why? Well I did finish the book by Nicolus Sparks The Choice and enjoyed the book emenslly. So it was a good evening.. So happy. Today my sweet husband got a call from his mom and she basically chewed him out again over not "helping" his sister and such but honestly his sister is 27 yrs old and can ask for help if she needs it honestly.. She didnt help us move when we moved from up to down stairs.. So I dont know.. Anyway thats been our day.. Talk to my g/f in via IM and then left to get food at the store and then came home battled the rain and then settled to eat and be happy with the game.. So its been a quiet evening and so throughly enjoyed it so much.. Glad that Dh and I had a great day together.. All I got to do now is make an Dr. Appt w/my GYN and see if I'm all set to get pregnant again.. Then talk to her about some things I can do to keep myself level and such or a referals.. So we'll see.. Anyway just thought I'd post .. God bless y'all very much...

Stressed and Axiety..

Hola Loved Ones..

Well, as you can see from my post, yes I am stressed and axious on stuff.. Really a long story today.. When we got up we found out my mom in law was taken by ambulance to a local hospital down here so far no news on whats going on and its getting into evening.. I am tempted to call but I hate to call and no news on whats up, so I learn to sit and wait.. My mom in law cant keep things down, meds, food I guess.. She's on pain meds for her arm, shoulder.. I am sure my sis in law is there at the hospital cuz her job is close by and can get there in two mins flat.. For me it'll take a good twenty mins in good traffic or not.. I guess no new is good news.. So Dh went to work and DS took a nap and I relaxed as much as I can..

The 2nd part of the axiety is this.. My apartments manager I guess was told we still have bugs, well the problem is I clean every day and we still have them. So DH take the rent money over to the office and she was all saying to him , you need to keep your place clean, blah blah blah and or we'll ask you to move.. Now mind you, I am pretty anal on cleaning and I have a husband who's such a lazy ass who dont do shit unless I beg him to..

So we talked and I was near tears due to the stress level gone up and just havent dealt with it to well.. See the maintance came in to do their thing check our apt and for mold, mildew (thinks I'm allergic to) and change filters and yada yada.. Well, I guess they told her (the manager) and so she told DH.. Now If I had gone in there, I would have gone on the deep end and told her exactly what I thought and that I do clean, we have a child, things are gonna be a lil messy but not extreem.. So DH and I talked and he agreed to start getting up off his ass and help. I'd like to see that more often than not.. Honsetly I dont know what to say or do. I've begged him for montsh to help me and he will for a day and not do a damn thing for weeks.. He even said that also.. So he knows I mean business when it comes to OUR home not just ME and the home..

Anyway thats my day.. I am just mentally tired, emotionally drained and just needing some space.. UGH.. LIFE! O well God is in control and I gotta give it to him or I'll go completely nuts..

Love & Light
Laura
