At long last I have a contract on my house that is to close on July 2 - that date is right around the corner and I am thankful. This business of paying 2 house notes will break the bank quickly and my bank is about broke......but all is well with the world and whatever happens is in the stars.
I think God sits on one of those stars out there. Have you ever had to explain where God is to a child. Mr. Man is asking all sorts of questions these days, and he is wearing my pea brain out. He seems to think that the Blessed Mother Mary is sitting on the other side of God, but Jesus is on His right side. You know how those Catholics feel about the Blessed Mother Mary?? Well let me tell you she is way up there on the sainthood list. Then out of nowhere he asks stupid shit like, "Mama, can you still live if you don't have a head??" That kind of thing makes me crazy. You wonder where in the world they get this stuff (i.e. TV, video games??).
My Saturday post has now lingered into Sunday. Mr. Man is with the A.F. this weekend. I really wish he would get on a more regular visitation. As it is now, Mr. Man sees the A.F. once a month. There was some talk about Mr. Man going to Binghamton, NY to see Grandma Manning and Aunt Ruth and the other multitudes of Aunts, Uncles and cousins that live there. The problem herewith, is we go to court the end of July and the A.F. is so freaked out that he won't commit to going to New York - or at least taking Mr. Man. I can't figure the whole scenario out, but let's just leave it in the mysterious phenomenon category.
I went on a shopping spree yesterday to Kohl's. I swear they have the cutest clothes. Since moving downtown, I have lost a little weight and my current clothes are about 2 sizes too big - not a bad problem to have, but that means I have to go shopping, and I HATE to shop. I realize that is unusual for a female, but clothes shopping is just not my gig. I found this really hot dress I just had to have. Plus a few other things. I even bought a bra and underware - OMG!! I used to refuse to wear either one, but the more I think about it, maybe I should start, just a little at a time. Now don't get me wrong, you wouldn't catch me hanging out around the house wearing a bra, but going out, I think the twins need a little shape and uplift, and that is all I think a bra is worth.
I am in withdrawls. I have no pool to go to this summer. I usually go to Allen's to swim, but his house is rented (thank you God). I could go to Andrew's apartment pool, but my vision of that is lots of lanky, curvy young USM girls walking around sipping Shaefer Beer (that's the cheap stuff!) I don't even know if they make Shaefer Beer anymore, but that is what we did around a apartment complex pool. We used to pronounce is SHA - FE - A, just to make it sound more glamorous.
Our July is busy, what with VBS, trip to Gulf Shores and then to Dallas. July will be my travel month. I need a vacation so it comes at a most wonderful time.
Life is Good these days. Life has calmed down for me. Allen is happy in Missoula, Andrew is settled in a job and apartment, the M.U. is relatively healthy with the exception of a knee replacement looming for the fall. Allen's house is rented, mine has a contract to close July 2, I am settled in the Condo and we are happy to be here.
It's a Wonderful Life!
Peace
It's about time things settled down...you've earned it! Glad all is well with you. I've missed you! :)

You know that you can come to my pool anytime. Now that you are selling the house, you may be able to afford the gas to get here. Love you!:)
