House Hunt

I have never lived in one house/apartment longer than 2 years. Never. The place I live now is no exception. I will be there 2 years in March and since the family is expanding as fast as my waistline, we have to find a bigger place. So far I have had crappy luck finding something big enough for us in the price we can afford. Today, however, I found 2 townhouses within a block of each other for rent. They're in Pelham, so I may have to drag NHP kicking and screaming. He doesn't want to move out any further south than we are. Sometimes you have to suck it up and deal. I on the other hand want to move there. I hear the schools are great in Shelby County and the area is nice. Since I am the meanest, most hormonal person in my house, I win. The only problem I have is the not staying there factor. He wants to buy a house, but at this point we have too many things happening to deal with that. So, instead we decided to rent for another year and then buy a house. Poohbear starts school this year and I don't want him to get use to a school and then move him next year. School is hard enough without being drug from one to another. I know, I went to about 9 schools in 12 years. It sucks! I guess we'll travel that road when we get to it. No sense in stressing about it now. I'll keep posting about our findings. Wish me luck.

Have You Ever?

Have you ever been driving along with no purpose or really any place to go? Just driving with your mind wandering from one thing to another? Maybe listening to a relaxing song or thinking of things you need to do or places you need to go, but really just want to drive? While your driving do you realize that you are "that person"? The one driving with your blinker on for the last 5 blocks. The one that has been cruising at a cool 5 miles an hour and taking turns going 1 mile an hour? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then kiss my ass. You could have been the one I was just stuck behind! Damn it people, wake up and pay attention to the other people in those shiny boxes called cars.

Him-Who fixed us? God or Jesus?
Me-You mean who made us?
Him-Yeah.
Me-God.
Him-How did he make us?
Me-He made us in heaven and sent us to Earth.
Him-How do we get there?
Me-We are made there.
Him-No, how do we get there?
Me-Do you mean when we die?
Him-Yeah. How do we get to heaven?
Me-God comes to get us and take us there.
Him-I didn't even know he could fly! Does he just take us away?
Me-Well, he takes our spirit and our body stays here.
Him-Does it just come right out the top of our heads?
Me-No, it probably comes out of our mouths.(Laughing)
Him-You mean like babies do?!
Me-Didn't we already have the "babies don't come out of your mouth" talk.
Him-Yeah, but since you can't tell me where they come from then I'm going to say they come out of your mouth.

Now That's Adorable

Quotes from my 4 year old son reguarding the new baby:
1.-After seeing mommy with her head in the toilet-"Mommy! You're going to throw up the baby!"
2. "Mommy would you eat one of these skittles? I want the baby to taste how good it is."
3. Do you want a brother or a sister? "I want a brother, but if it's a sister I guess I'll be ok with that."
4. "I wish you could jump on the bed with me, but the baby might get dizzy."
My favorite was the "where does it come out" conversation:
"Mommy, will the baby come out of your mouth when it's born?"
"No."
"Well, where does it come from?"
(Silence)
"Well, don't you know"
"Yeah, I'm just trying to decide if your old enough for that talk."
"Um, mommy, you know I'm 4."
