An Update

-
I know you're on the edge of your seat waiting. Here's an update from last week.

I found our water bill + check (that I dated 11/16/16) in a pile of paper on my bedroom dresser. I feel 1% vindicated and 99% like Uncle Billy from It's A Wonderful Life.

We have no closure on the Fedex Fiasco, but our home and cars have remained in tact (alternate sentence: our neighbor is mad, but sane).

My sister A faithful blog reader noted that I can hook my water bill up to an automatic payment through my bank account. We are aware, but our company charges a couple of dollars for *each* withdrawal (Poo on you, Florida) but yes, it's probably cheaper than having to reconnect your water. 

The only hiccup this week, so far, happened today when Kent found five and half pounds of boneless chicken breast in my trunk from my shopping trip about 24 hours earlier. WINNING. Let's add that to the list..

Reasons Why We'll be Living in a Shanty Town When We are Old
1. Disney World Season Passes
2. $70 to reconnect water
3. 5.5 pounds of chicken breast left in car trunk
4. Goodwill

But enough about me.
Today we built a tent 
 And painted with shaving cream (This DID NOT TAKE AS LONG AS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO)

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
