More Rain

It rained nearly all day today. We were able to play with bubbles for maybe 15 minutes before all the storms hit this morning. I was barely done with my honey nut cheerios when I felt the first few drops.

Good thing Noah had his new umbrella! He would have been upset about bubble-time being cut short today otherwise. I let him play in the rain out front for about an hour. Then we went inside and made hot chocolate (even though it wasn't cold out and never is). It just felt like the right thing to do.
The rest of the day Noah did puzzles and watched movies while I tried to get rid of the clutter all over the house. I've got most of what I'm sending to the storage unit all sorted out already. Now all I have to do is get a storage unit. I can't decide if I want to have a garage sale or just donate all this stuff to Goodwill. Right now Goodwill is winning because it sounds like much less of a hassle.

I found and mapped 9 more housing possibilities today as well. There were a few I was really excited about. Renting is going to be so nice! I don't have to research as much to just rent a house for 8 months!! I don't have to worry about resale or interest or banks or property value. All I need to know is where it is, if it's a safe neighborhood, and if it's big enough and reasonably priced. That's it. Yay me! I bought my Dad plane tickets today. He was gracious enough to agree to help me do some home improvements before I put the house up for sale. My dad is the KING of home improvement. He'll be here mid-July. It should be fun having him here. We love doing projects together. I'm the Queen of Planning so it will all be ready for him once he gets here. I'll try my hardest not to print out a daily agenda or anything :P haha

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl

Victim Triangle

Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on  establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries  so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken. https://www.karpmandramatriangle.com/ The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected
