all better now…

The trip to Vegas, contrary to popular belief, was VERY FUN. The show was amazing and well worth the 90 minutes we had to sit through at the time-share place to get them.
I might need to make a living out of visiting those timeshare places to get free stuff.

The show was fantastic and it made me look at my own body in shame. These women were flying around the room holding on to sheets and I was thinking that even if my life depended on it, there is no way my upper body strength would even consider holding me up. Nope. My arms would give out after about 30 seconds of holding on. My legs probably wouldn’t do any good either. My hip would pop out as I swung wildly around.

It is strange to think that my body COULD do that. If I trained it, I too could contort my body like they do. Buuuuut, what is my modivation? I mean, isn’t it enough that I can tuck my boobs into my armpits? I would like those people look as graceful as I do while I climb into my minivan and drive to pick up my kids. Do they have the stamina to keep up with 5 kids? I THINK NOT.

I have good news!! While driving my niece to school last week, I saw a “FOR RENT” sign outside a house. I called the owner and chatted with him. He seemed like a super sweet guy and was willing to work with the rent and deposit.
Soooooooooooo, Dan rented it!
Yeah, I know you were thinking that Tabitha was going to get the house huh?
You see, for the longest time the only thing I have really wanted was for Dan to be living in a house again. He’s been in an apartment for years and the girls are just TOO big to try to shoehorn into that tiny apartment. For the last 2 years I would call houses for rent to see how much they wanted and if they were willing to make payment arrangements on the deposit. The houses for rent were always around 2 grand a month and that is far out of the price range he can afford.

So last weekend we moved him out of his apartment and into his new 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. WITH A GARAGE!! I’m not sure who is more excited about the move…me, the kids or Dan.

Next up is finding a place for Tabitha. A nice, safe place that is right near us so I don’t go through Jeremiah withdrawals!!

I’m feeling better and it will be right in time for Shea’s 9th birthday. :)
