I went post CrAzY!!!!!

Yup!

I couldn't control myself and went a little crazy with the posts on my family blog.

Chem em' out here if you want...

grrrrrrrr....

Many of you know this already, but we are a bit crammed for space.

We have 5 people living in a 2 bedroom house.

When we bought our house we only had Shaylee and planned to live in our home for 2 maybe 3 years and then move.

We bought in the first phase so we felt pretty good that we'd make some money off of it.

4 years later the market is terrible and we owe a lot more than our house is worth.

Apparently there is a lesson we need to learn and it's been a tough one.

However, we've come to realize and except (as much as one could in this position) that we will not be selling our house anytime soon.

We were at least hoping to refinance to decrease our bill a little.

Unfortunately no one is willing to help the honest people in this rough economy.

You have to either have bad credit or foreclose on your house to get help.

It's been VERY frustrating as Chad and I have called bank after bank trying to work something out only to find out that no one will help us out.

It's no wonder so many people are walking away from their home these days.

They're more likely to get help once they do.

I'm convinced that doing the right thing is going to pay off, but really sooner rather than later would be great.

grrrrrrrr!

Brilliant I tell ya!

I have a friend who I believe is

BRILLIANT.

You know she's one of those girls that likes learning and reads alot.

I'd like to introduce you to her. Her name is Bridget.

She's so brilliant in fact that a magazine wanted to interview her.

I heard about this one day and didn't think much about it. To be honest I wasn't surprised. After all she is a smarty pants so why wouldn't they.

Well it just so happens that one day as I was in a store looking at the magazine section I couldn't help but notice a familiar face looking at me from the REAL SIMPLE magazine.

I couldn't believe it. After all REAL SIMPLE is a magazine I like. I expected her to have an article in Newsweek or something (which she may have preferred), but to my surprise and liking she was right there on the cover of REAL SIMPLE magazine. Not only was she interviewed, but she got front cover. WOW I was impresses.

Well the story gets better because as I read her interview I found that she was being interviewed about motherhood and right there in the middle of the article was a HUGE shout out to me!!!

Now I've always felt like Bridget thought I was a good mom, but I was on cloud nine reading about how she felt I was an example of a good mom.

Unfortunately, I was reading this interview around 3:00pm last night and was rudely awakened at the best part by my sweet little boy who had had an accident in his bed.

So yes, this was a dream. That is most likely why this doesn't sound at all familiar to you Bridget.

I thought of casually mentioning I had a dream about you =), but I thought this would be so much more exciting.

However the truth is....

-Bridget is brilliant

-I apparently took the compliments from Bridget about my parenting to my head

-and, for real, one day I was walking in a bookstores coffee shop and as I was walking through the magazine section something caught my eye. I turned back to see what it was and it was my cousins face on the cover of a magazine (Steph that's a shout out to your bro!). I was very impressed to say the least!

*Bridget- I hope you dont mind that I wrote a blog post about you. We're even =)
