It’s official! After renting our home for the past six and a half years, we were able to buy it from our landlord and the deal closed last week. Since the moment we moved in I said, ” I hope we can buy this house someday.” The landlord never mentioned a rent to sell proposition…
DIY
And then we had a flood…
The day after my last depressing post about how the Goff family was really struggling this happened while Lou and I were eating dinner on Friday night. Me: “Lou what is that sound?” Lou: “I don’t know.” Me: “It sounds like water.” I jump up from the table and head towards the whooshing sound coming…
Another first…
Sorry I missed posting on Friday but I was busy making decorations for the junior high dance at Trinity’s school. I was really excited because this was the first school decorating job I have led since TT passed away. I used to love decorating for the auction night but was always so stressed about spending…
My Stella…
For those of you who follow me on my personal Facebook you already know, but for everyone else here it is: I got a dog! Or rather our family adopted a rescue miniature poodle mix last Monday. I love Mickey our canary and yes he has been singing a lot but it just wasn’t enough. …
In progress…..
So I found the paint and I love the new look. I had a great day painting and was done with all the walls by 2:30p.m. but I didn’t finish everything until 5:30. I had to repaint the chandelier in the kitchen hanging over the sink. I also had to repaint the inside of my…
Never a dull moment!
Thanksgiving morning I woke up and was cooking in the kitchen when water kept appearing under my feet. I didn’t think I had spilled anything yet, there was a small puddle. I wiped it up and then it reappeared. What the heck? I started stepping on the joints of the fake wood floor and saw…
Being me can be difficult….
I was having a great day and then someone texted me something and my entire mood changed. I instantly felt BLAH, BLUE, CRAPPY, SAD, IRRITATED, FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY all at once. I kept telling myself “no one can make you feel bad about yourself, only you can do that Tiffani.” Giving myself therapy didn’t work. …
Does your bed have a frame?
I am sure almost 100% of my readers sleep on a bed which has a frame, but Lou, Tiara and I don’t. The reason why? About 4 years ago Tiara was having tons of tonic clonic and drop seizures. She woke up many mornings on the floor and after her teeth kept chipping off we…
Feeling panicky
SATURDAY 6:30am It is Saturday morning and I just woke up. I have a list a mile long of potential “to -do” items that would make my house even cleaner before it hits the MLS on Monday. My whole body aches, especially my hands and feet. I am exhausted and stressed and keep wondering if…
And now the dryer broke!
Last night I started on my piles of laundry that I had been ignoring during my home improvement mania, when I discovered the clothes weren’t drying all the way. Actually not at all.. Hmmmm. I was to tired to deal with it last night so I decided to ignore the problem until the morning. This…
