My last post I talked about trying to stay positive, well, that crap don’t work all the time! You will remember that we were frantically packing and trying to find a rental home. Well, the I talked to Tiffany & Bosco, law firm for our house, and they told me that we still might have a chance to keep our home. That Freddie Mac is now working with this 3rd party company and they were going to come to our house and try to work out a modification with us! Yeah!!! So, we stopped packing (didn’t unpacked, just stoped where we were) and waited to hear from this other company, only to find out 8 days later that Tiffany & Bosco is now telling us that Freddie Mac has changed their mind and the next communication we get will be them telling us about our relocation options. What a crock of crap!! I mean, this is a law firm! How do these people sleep at night? Needless to say we are getting back into the packing mode and resuming our search for a rental. Wish us luck!
Ok, I totally love David Zinczenko! He is the Eat This, Not That writer! I love his articles. I always learn something and since I have been losing weight I am always paying attention to articles like these. I absolutely had to share this one with you though. Scariest New Restaurant Foods Anyone looking to watch what they eat will totally appreciate this link. I also have 2 of the Eat This, Not That books and I recommend those too. I have the Kids guide and the Supermarket Guide. Both well worth it.
Ok, one last thing before I go. I wanted to give the parenting award of the day to…..drumroll please…… 18-year-old Christy A. Smullen!!! Please go here to read the full story, but let me just say, she didn’t sound like she cared a whole lot that her child of 3 years old just shot a shotgun. Thank the Good Lord that no one was hurt!

Be Positive!
Sorry for my lack of posting. With trying to pack quickly and find a rental home to move to, there isn't a whole lot of time to get to my blog. I would much rather be on here than doing that other stuff, but I am trying to be positive! Be positive on the fact that we will find a great house to rent and that we will be able to move in before the bank kicks us out of our home. Be positive that this move will not be too hard on my 3 girls. Be positive that this move will not be too hard on me and my hubby. It's really hard to be positive when I just want to crawl into bed and be depressed. We went to look at rentals last night. We saw 2 of them. These are the first ones we have looked at. When we got to the first one, my gut instinct was, NO, and we hadn't even gone inside yet. I asked my hubby and his was NO also. Once my friend (the realtor) got there and we went in, I was just ready to cry. We are being forced out of our wonderful, beautiful, big home and I might have to settle for this little one? OMG, I wanted to stay positive, but this house, there was just no way. After we left, I don't know that I said a word until we got to the second house. This one was still smaller than the one we live in (but not by much), and at least it had a much better floor plan than the first one. It would fit most of our furniture and it is a 4 bedroom so we would have an office. Much better. THe drawback is that it adds about 12 more miles to my drive to work. Oh well, at least the house itself is something I can live with.
Today we will be looking at a couple of more houses. We were trying to stay away from a 2 story but to stay within our price range, we may not be able to do that. We will have to be really careful with the girls in a 2 story, and carting the laundry up and down will be so much fun, but maybe it will allow us to be in a bigger home which will be nice. See, trying to stay positive!
And, on a side note, we had a (according to the weather guy this morning) huge weather event last night! That actually cracked me up when he said it like that. A huge weather event! It was the first storm of our monsoon season and it was a pretty good one. Anyway, it rained really bad and this morning when I was leaving we found that 2 of our bushes in the front of the house had been knocked over from the wind and rain. I laughed when I saw that and it lifted my spirit. That is something we are not going to fix before we leave!
