It was lots of fun!!!  Of course, Hunter had a melt down, when he had to come in, and his hands were ice cold, too, but he just wanted to stay outside and play, and play, and play!!!!!

Topic: House Update
I'm sooo mad!!!   We are buying a house and were supposed to close on it last Fri.   We have been all packed up for a couple of weeks.   Last Wed we were told that we couldn't close on Fri because the bank was not finished with the final approval.   We were told that we should be able to close this Friday (tomorrow).   As of this morning....1 day before supposed closing......we nor our realtor or the closing company has heard anything from the banker all week.   We all tried calling and emailing yesterday.   No return calls or emails.   Her phone message says it will take her 2 days to return calls.   UMMMMM that's a bit too late honey!!   We are assuming we aren't closing again tomorrow.   The biggest part of this whole thing is with me working from home I need to give notice to have all of my phone and internet things switched to the new house.   We had it first set up to be connected this past Monday and had to change it....we thankfully decided not to change it until the 20th so we have a bit of time to go before I'd have to change it again.   We're supposed to be out of this house at the end of the month.    The banker didn't contact our realtor at all through all of this...he only heard from us what was going on.  He's not very happy either.    I am calling to talk to the branch manager this morning to see if there's anything we can do to get her to move things along.   We really need to get this closed on at the beginning of next week.   I have messed with my work schedule twice already now trying to be sure I'd have the time to close.   It's so frustrating.   We even had our mail fwded to the new address and had to go to the post office to stop that....well it didn't get stopped we've had no mail all week.   We're waiting to hear back from the realtor to see if the seller agreed to us going over to the house to get our mail.  
Ok I'm done ranting.   It does help just to get it all out.  
I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter!!

EDIT
I am now waiting on a call back from the bank manager.   I called and vented my frustrations.   She said our banker was not in yet but as soon as she was she would catch her and find out what's going on and call me back.   It's now 10:30am....man I want those hours!!

Topic: It's Thursday!!

Yayyy Friday is almost here!  I'm sooo tired these days.   My husband keeps asking if my vitamin levels are off again but they shouldn't be I've been very good about taking them.   I also just went to the Dr and everything checked out fine.   It's looking like I will get part of the day off tomorrow just to have fun.   Not a bad thing but I worked extra hours so I could take time off to close on a house tomorrow which doesn't look like it's happening AGAIN!!!   I'm sooo frustrated.   Nobody could get a hold of the banker yesterday.   We all emailed and tried to call and no call or email back.  Ya know I understand if she's not done yet but at least tell us that don't keep leading us on.   The closing agent said unless he has everything from her by first thing this morning we won't be closing tomorrow either.   We were looking forward to spending Easter weekend painting...guess not!!   My sister wants us to drive to her house but that's almost 4 hrs away so I think we'll just stay home..go to church and maybe catch dinner out somewhere.   Ok I will quit venting.  
My mother in law is having surgery today to repair her rotator cup.   She had one shoulder done last yr and now the 2nd one.   After work tonight we'll be heading up to the hospital to visit her.  Sadie wants to bring grandma a Strawberry Shortcake bandaid to make her better LOL.  Grandma will at least get a laugh out of that one.   Now we have another issue she was our babysitter for closing ahhhhhhhhhhh.    My husband says well wouldn't the banker be thrilled to know that we now have to bring Sadie with us hehehehe.   I'm sure we'll find someone else.   That's all that's on my agenda for today.   We do have church service tonight but I think with visiting grandma we won't make it.  

Hope everyone has a good Thursday!!

Michelle, I hope you hear something tonight from the bank.  My fingers are crossed!!

Hunter & I had a blast at the pool last night.  It was nice to play in the pool!!!  And, WOW.... I have to try & describe it to you..... There are 3 different pools, all in one open room.  One is a lap swim pool, it has 6 lanes, about 4 1/2 foot deep.  There is another smaller pool, for kids, not necessarily toddlers, it is about 3 1/2 foot deep.  It has a really cool slide, where you can climb on the slide, and then land in the water.  Then, there is a hot tub, boy... that was nice of course, we didn't stay in that long.  The main one we played in, was definately geared for babies & toddlers, and beginner kids, it was not deep, a little above the top of your foot/ankle, but it was by far the "largest" of the pools, all kinds of activities too.  There was something like a playset, where you climb up the stairs, and a smaller slide, but up on the platform, was little 'fountains' where you could stand & jump around, another way to get up there was like a rope climb, but, you could walk up it, Anyways, up on the platform, there was this HUGE, HUGE bucket, above you, and it would fill up with water & then dumps out, with gravity, onto a 'roof' and basically spashes you, if you are anywhere in that little pool section, then, it goes upright, and fills back up, dumps.... it was quite neat!!!!  Then, of course, there are about 4 spray guns placed all around in that pool, and you can go over to one, they are bolted onto the floor, and you push the button, and can pivot & shoot streams of water, but mostly at the platform, because, if you try & point it out of that pool area, the stream of water just stops flowing, until you point it back into the pool part, or at the platform, so, I guess, you cannot try & shoo****er at the people doing the lap swims!!!  Darn!!!  HA HA 

I hope I did a decent job at describing some of the pool stuff!!!
We will probably go again tonight, because it was a blast!!!  Hunter had SUCH a GREAT time!!!  Of course, he cried a little, because he did not want to leave, but that is normal.

Here we are again bright and early!   I'm doing good...I think I'm actually awake this morning.   We'll see how long the tiredness stays away.  I woke up at 4 am and have been awake since.   Too bad I couldn't work that early and get it over with.  Yesterday was a pretty good day.   Work went well....took my son for a haircut and then back home for the evening.   DH cooked supper out on the grill and let Sadie play outside while he did and I hid in my bed for a bit.   We then colored eggs.   Sadie loved it...we only ended up with one cup of the color spilled...and it was blue the darkest color LOL.   Oh well it was fun anyway.   She enjoyed making an egg for just about everyone she knows.   Now we have to go deliver some at daddy's work.  We're hoping to hear back from the bank today as to if our closing will be Friday.   I'm sooooo impatient.   I just want that part done and over with so then I can stress about the actual move.   I'm a professional worry wart ya know.   I have no plans other than to do a bit of housework tonight.   I'll be home with Sadie tonight so hopefully a little relaxing and playing.

How are you today?  Good here.  My Tuesday went well.  Work, then gym, then home to relax.  Did a few chores.  Today will be work in my office for part of the day, off to Fredericksburg for a meeting, then back, depending on the time will depend on if I go back into the office or not.  No plans for tonight so we shall see what happens.

Easter eggs are so much fun, I am jealous that you all have little ones to do it with.  I was invited to participate with my nieces and nephews but not sure I am really into it.  My girlies still enjoy stuff like that so I will have to get some stuff together so we can work on that this week too.  Jaime, I hope you all had a blast at the Alaska club.  That sounds like fun!!

Crossing my fingers for Friday being the DAY!!!!!
Have fun coloring eggs with Sadie!!!  We will be coloring eggs with Hunter sometime this week too.

Court, I am jealous of your new schedule!!!  a 3 day weekend twice a month??  NICE!!!!

Just another day here, tonight Hunter & I have plans to go to the Alaska Club after I pick him up from daycare... this last year, they have expanded the club, and added a pool, with water slides & such, so this will be our first time going since that was added!!!!  That should be loads of FUN!!!!
I got a week long free family pass, so I intend to use it up!!!

Have a great day!!!
