Another Easter has come and gone. I had to work on Easter but I left 2 hours early so I could enjoy the day. We all went to mom and dads house. We had a good time and the food was really good. Of course by the time we ate supper I was not to hungry because I ate so much Easter candy. Do you know that they make chocolate covered peeps, they are so good.
They are having an open house at our house on Sunday. So now we are in a rush to get the touch ups done on the house. Last night Rick pulled the wall paper off the 2nd bathroom in the house and this morning he painted it before he left for work. It looks much better now. We are also going to put some french doors going into the office off of the kitchen. It use to be a bedroom but Rick took part of the wall out years ago to open it up. We want to put doors in so that it can still be used as a bedroom if someone wants too. That way the house is a three bedroom house instead of a two bedroom house. The only other thing we need to do is paint the steps going down to the basement. We are going to busy the next few days. Good thing today is my Friday.

I cooked again!!! I know it is almost like I like cooking again. Or I bought the stuff to make it so I had to cook before it all went bad. It was really good. The top picture Liam took of Josie. He loves to take pictures. Hope everyone has a happy Easter!

"Nana don't flush my shoes down the toilet, I need them." -Liam

Yesterday while I was babysitting Liam he was on the toilet and he said to me that he did not want to fall in because then I would flush him down. I told him I would never flush him down the toilet. Then he want on to say "don't flush his shoes down because he needed them." It was so funny. I had to tell him several times that I would not flush his shoes down.
Well they accepted our offer on the house. Now we are in the waiting game. We have to sell our house first. We have the other house for sure unless someone else comes along that does not have the contingency that they need to sell there house first. I really hope that does not happen but there is nothing we can do about it. The realtor was having a fit because he wanted us to take the contingency off. But I really want to be able to sleep at night and not worry about making two house payments until the house sells. So we just have to keep our fingers crossed that no one else comes along and our house sells fast.
Last night I went for my first bike ride of the season. We biked 21 miles. I was shot! It was a lot more windy then I thought it would be and I am so out of shape. But it was fun to be out on the bike again.
Today I had to leave the house at 10:15 for someone to come look at it. They were suppose to be her between 10:30-11:30. So I took Dexter and we walked to the bank and back. We got back to the house at 11:40 and they were still here! So I just kept on walking and took Dexter to the lake. He was pretty tired. It was a long walk for him. When we finally got back I gave Dexter a long needed bath. Now I am going to go pay a couple of bills and then try and go for a run.

It must be almost Easter

Today Liam and Josie and I colored Easter Eggs. Liam was so excited! Josie just wanted to eat the eggs.

It's my birthday!

Today is my 48th birthday! I am getting soooo old. Only two more years and I will be the big 50. Since it was my birthday Rick brought me a huge cream filled donut, so I ate it for breakfast. Then I went and had my hair cut and colored. After that I had to go to Amy's house because Liam made me a birthday cake, with a little help from Christa. It was very good. You can see by the pictures that Liam and Josie loved it. When I got home from there I had to clean the house because they are showing it tonight at 5:15 and then again on Thur. at 10:30. I sure hope one of the people want to buy it! I also raked the lawn today. It really needed it. Tonight we have our pizza party for the end of WAC archery league. It has been a good birthday!

"Your not even grateful, you hang on to your pain like it's worth something, like it means something. Well let me tell you something it ain't worth shit, let it go. Infinite possibilities and all you do is wine. You can do anything you lucky bastard, your alive, what's a little pain compared to that." -Six Feet Under

I love Six Feet Under. We have been watching it this winter and are down to season 5, the last season. It is a really good show.
We have had a busy week. We have decided to put our house up for sale! Rick was out biking last week and saw a house in the country that he liked so we decided to take a look at it. We were all set to buy it and even put an offer on it. But the hooker real estate agent who has it listed told our agent that she could not get a hold of the owner because he is out of state. She also said that she had no other offers on the house at this time. Well two days later our agent called her and all of the sudden she had an other offer that was more then ours. Our agent was pissed. What she did was hold our offer and call up whoever she had been showing the house to and told them they better put in a offer that topped ours if they wanted the house. That way she got all of the commission for the sale of the house. She never even showed the owner of the house our offer. I was pretty mad. But the good thing about all this is we found another house that we like even better! It is 5 miles out of town and is perfect for us. It even has a chicken coop! So we are going to put an offer on it. We will have to sell our house first even if they take our offer. So everyone cross there fingers that they take the offer and we sell our house fast!!! We put it on the market on Thur. and they have showed twice already. Of course that means nothing but it makes me feel good that they are showing it already. I am trying really hard not to get my hopes up because I know the housing market really sucks now. I just hope the right person comes along and fast.
I had to work all weekend. I am ready to be done today. It has been a long day. I have to work Monday and then I have 3 days off. I have not big plans other then I would like to get the lawn raked. It looks pretty bad after the long winter. It is going to be nice out so I should be able to get it done.
I guess that is it for the day. Keep your fingers crossed!!!!
