I really can't sleep, but just as I got up to write a nice, long blog, it starts pouring outside. That always helps me sleep. So, I guess I will have to cut this short. Lots have been going on. We have been remodeling our house (fun, fun) and dealing with an SOB of a contractor. We love the guys working, but the contractor is a total ass. We haven't seen him one time since handing him the check. Anyway, long story short, he left a very ugly message on my voicemail (after Tony called one of the guys who actually works here about cleaning up a mess they left). Tony was very upset about the message but the contractor would not answer when he called. So, last night at Jaeleigh's pool party, Brad heard the message and called the guy. Surprise, he answered. The conversation that followed was stressful, for me anyway. There were lots of f-bombs and "I'm gonna punch your teeth down your throat" comments. Needless to say, I doubt that I'll get anymore rude voicemails. ;-)
After that we all got our eat on (fabulous hot dogs - thanks honey!) and swam. My great friend Mary drove 2 1/2 hours just to be here and she stayed the night. I love her! My family was here along with my friend Melanie. It was a great ole time. And, with some hot dogs and wine coolers, we were happy and tired by midnight....

Changes
We drove to Texas today to pick up Veronica. What a long drive. It was ok though. She looks so grown these days. It's so weird to have a child that old...LOL
So, she will be living with us for the next two years or so while her mom is in Iraq. We got a bunk bed for Jaeleigh's room and bought Veronica her own stuff. We hope she feels at home here.
Have I mentioned the pool is up and it is totally fabulous. We love it! Everyone come over and swim!
Father's Day is next weekend and Papa is coming down, so that is a perfect excuse for a cookout and pool party. Then the weekend after that is Jaeleigh's birthday party and we are having another pool party and a special "hotdog bar." That should be quite interesting. LOL YUUUUUMMMM
We are currently remodeling some stuff around the house. The deck around the pool is going up Monday and our new kitchen should be done this coming week. We are also putting in french doors and taking out the door to the man room and putting in a window and brick. It will then be an official bedroom, making my house a 4-bedroom! Yay! I need it with all these childrens...LOL
