• We had a wonderful weekend.   We accomplished a lot around the house, and played a lot with the kids.

  
  

  And everything we did was free.  *snigger*  Well except for the gas to drive to church and back.

  
  

  Friday night we were both just sick of heart.   And finally (which should a been the first thing we did )  I suggested we pray.  (d'uh) so Rob and I each prayed...a rather short prayer.   And the frustration literally rolled off.    We got in the hot tub enjoyed that, headed back to the bedroom and the solution hit me.

  
  

  If we move to Clallam Bay we have to get a line of credit based on the equity on this house in order to get our Down Payment.    Soooo we're going to apply for that now and use it to pay for the work on the GEO.   Within two to three pay checks it should be paid off and we can just have it sitting there if we need it for the move.   Or we can use it for the two or three major house projects left on this house.      

  
  

  The propane is paid for...and we won't need more for another month and a half.   And at that time the tank won't be empty, so it will be less of a bill, and we will just cinch our belts in a bit tighter in the meantime.   *deeeeep breathe*  

  
  

  So we have solutions mostly, and peace of mind for all the decisions that are coming, or not coming.

  
  

  I loved my house so much this weekend the thought of moving was just ewwww.    So I'm not sure where we're going.   Of course if the person doesn't call back, that house is out of the question, and nothing else is currently available.  *shrugs*

  
  

  Okay business end of my life over.

  Saturday Rob and I spent several hours finishing our patio over by the hot tub.   The project that got rudely interupted when Rob broke his leg.     It looks wonderful, and only took about 2.5 hours to finish.    We also did some brush clearing, and some weed whacking.   The side of our house is greatly improved and we both had a lot of fun doing it.

  
  

  Sunday...sniggers  I did a Psychological experiment.   I went outside with Jeremiah and the kids didn't come running over to see me as they usually do...so I just snuck over to a little used corner of our property and sat in the tall grass with him.

  
  

  Rob came out about ten minutes later and said "Where's mom?"   I just remained quiet.     It took them all about 20 minutes to find me.......

  
  

  It was rather fascinating.  *giggles*  The dog of course found me much sooner then that.  

  
  

  So then the kids really wanted to play hide and seek.   So we did...for the next two hours.   (until past bedtime LOL)

  
  

  I hid all by myself first and nobody found me.   I was there for almost 40 minutes.    Everybody walked past me (including Rob)  multiple times.   I started making noises, whistling etc and finally Zeria and then Sam found me, and then the little kids caught on.

  
  

  After that I took one kid with me to hide and everybody else had to look.   It was a great adventure.    And lots of giggles.    Of course I'm still pulling leaves out of my mop of hair today....and admiring the huge amount of black berry scratches on my legs...but they just make me giggle at the fun of it all. 

  
  

  I have to remember to play with my kids, because thats when I love being a mom the most.
