My ninja turtle's "signature move"
One of my friends let me know that I was being a slack blogger, so here you go. ;) I have some good excuses for not blogging, though.
Tyson has been super busy recruiting this last month; he is usually gone all week long and then comes home and has recruits in town all weekend long. I've gotten to go to some of the recruiting dinners, so that's been nice, but I'm just ready for Tyson be home. This single mama stuff is for the birds.
It seems we've had lots of drama around here lately. You see, our lease is up in this house here in a few weeks, so we've been house hunting pretty hard for another rental. I just felt like we moved into this house pretty quickly without really looking around, and I just don't like this house. Well, for some reason (maybe the market slowly returning and low interest rates), there aren't a lot of rental houses on the market right now in our area. We found two that we liked, but they fell through. Figures. So now we've decided to stay in our current house and just fix a few things we don't like and make it home.
Speaking of house drama, our house in Birmingham is supposed to close March 1, but we'll see. Our tenant has given us some problem$ in the past, so I can't imagine how in the world she'll get approved for the loan. We'll see, though. Any prayers would be appreciated in this area.
And speaking of even more drama, we were playing at one of Jake's school friend's house on Tuesday when we got word that their school was closing its doors on Thursday! If you can remember, this school is the same school that I was saying at the beginning of the year that I had serious mom guilt for sending Jake to. I should've trusted my gut then because sure enough, the crazy owner hadn't been paying her rent on the building so they had to shut it down! Ugh!! Talk about stress!! Luckily, the original school that I had enrolled Jake at created 6 spots for our kids when they heard about the dilemma. Four of Jake's best friends' mothers and I walked in and snatched up 5 of those spots and started the process of transferring his VPK voucher (kind of similar to going to the DMV and getting a new car tag). Free Pre-K is awesome until you have to deal with that dang voucher! Hahaha! Anyways, Jake is all set to start his new school (only his 4th in a year) tomorrow, so prayers would be appreciated. I think he'll be fine since 4 of his best friends will be there with him; I just feel so bad that he keeps having to change schools!!
What else? I've been working hard trying to get all of our tax stuff ready to send off to our CPA, I've been searching pinterest hard for ideas to fix up this house, and I've been scouring the internet for new furniture. Other than that, we've been going on lots of bicycle rides, practicing t-ball since it starts soon, and just enjoying this beautiful Florida weather with our friends before it gets too hot! Oh, and how could I forget? We joined our church here!!! Well, in true coach's wife fashion, I attended the membership class by myself and was recognized at church by myself (well, with the boys by my side) since my hubby was working. Hahahaha! Poor Tyson misses out on everything! It's a good thing our preacher is a huge football fan and still allowed Tyson to join even though he couldn't be there.
And then there is Sam. Sweet boy is doing well at his new home; he had a hard time at first (wouldn't eat, had accidents) but is doing better now. We should know in the next week or so if they intend to keep him. Jake is doing better with that whole situation; he asked almost every day last week if we could go see him, so we did, and now he doesn't talk about Sam quite as much.
Well, I think that's it. I promise I'll try to get back into the swing of blogging really soon. I hope everyone is doing well!!
