Jerk Cottleville Cop

We were at Mike & Diana's yesterday for their big party. I had about 6 drinks between 3pm and 7 pm. Then I quit drinking. Went to bed around 10 or so, and slept until 3am. When I woke up I was not feeling good, I was having really bad stomach cramps, so I gathered the family and we went home. On the way home the cramps were getting worse, at a stop light past the SCCC, I opened my car door and got sick twice, then I closed the door and proceeded to pull over, when here comes one of Cottleville's finest, with lights and pulls me over. He thinks I am drunk because I threw up, I tell him that I am not drunk, just very sick to my stomach. He takes my license, but does not ask for insurance, does not run my plates, and does not ask me to blow either. Then he tells me I should be ashamed for driving my family while being drunk, He does not want to arrest me in front of my children and tells me to call someone to come and pick us up. I am very upset over the prick assuming I am drunk, because I got sick, and I look drunk because I just woke up about 10 minutes earlier!!! My poor kids were scared to death!! Bill and I were mad because he kept calling me drunk but not testing me, or asking for any info. I think it had to do with the heat, cause even today I am fine when inside, but when I get out in the heat I get sick to my stomach. Thanks to Mike & Paula for getting out of bed at 4 am and coming to get us and take my truck home.

This is what I think.......

I think that maybe the Def Leppard/ Journey concert should not be attended by us, and instead I should have a big house warming/bon fire party that weekend instead. It would be a hell of alot cheaper. Sound OK to everyone?

Making a decision

Last night we filled out the contract for the house, it is being faxed to the listing agent this morning at 9am, they have until 8pm tonight to decide if they accept it or not. Bill made me choode a closing date last night, I was told that I would have to give something up if they accept the offer on the house. We could either close on the 21st of June, which means we would move the weekend of the 24th, which is also the weekend of The Phantom Of The Opera or close on the close on the 28th of June, and move the weekend of July 1st, which is Mike & Diana's annual party. Soooooooooo I chose the 21st. It is killing me, I have always wanted to go see Phantom, and now I have to possibly give it up. Which is even worse is that we paid $100.00 a ticket to go!!! It was hard!! I tried to talk Bill into the June 14th, but he said no, because our mortgage lady said she really needs a full 3 weeks. It is 3 weeks but, if they except we still have negotating to do after we get the appraisal and building inspection, and they said figure a week for that. Anyway as disappointed as I am about giving that up, I am also very excited and can not wait for this day to get over with. I wish I had a cell phone, cause Krystal is going to call Bill's cell today if she hears from them before 5pm, after that she will call us here at the house. So if they decide early in the day, I have to wait until I get home and see Bill, and if he knows I will have to pry it out of him!!!!

Our Dog

Our dog Jack has quite the personality. He can not stand to get a bath, but loves to play in sprinkler. He was so funny today, and very wet and stinky!! Here is a video of my goofy dog!! He would not stop barking at the water.

So I was looking at appliances today at Sears.com, and found some of the stuff I would like to have. The only problem I am having is choosing a color. I can't make up my mind. I like Stainless Steel but if it is not kept perfectly clean all the time it looks like crap. I like white along with the bisque, because they are light colors, but the only problem with them is that, like the fridge I have now, it has a texured handle that no matter how much I scrub it is gross looking. Then of course is black, I don't really want a color that dark, but on the other hand I think it looks cleaner. I am also baseing this info on alot of the houses that I clean. So what do you guys think? I am thinking black, then have white cabinets and white counter tops. One of the houses I clean, I love his kitchen. He has the black appliances, with the white counters & cabinets, and it is really a beautiful kitchen. Please tell me what you think.

Peace out......Krystal should be here real, so we can fill out the contract. Byebye!

Finally.......

Finally my husband speaks!! We are going to write up a contract Sunday evening and offer a bid on the house, Krystal said to only give them about 24-48 hours to respond to it. Wish us luck and keep your fingers crossed for us!!

Also I have a timer in my car, so of course we timed it and checked the miles tonight. From the entrance to our subdivision to the driveway of the house is 24 miles and it takes about 30 minutes. So I hope our friends are willing to make the occasional drive.

Men/Boys are funny!

Yesterday Bill purchased a new toy, oops......I mean a new yard tool. I am not sure who is more excited him or Kenny. It took Bill about 3 minutes to cut the backyard with it yesterday.

Does anyone know who were the top 3 on Idol last season, We know Carrie & Bo, but can't figure out who the 3rd person was, anyone remember?

2nd Viewing

Soooooo.....we went to the house again tonight. We were there for about an hour or so. The house is going to need alot of work, but it is totally livable. Our agent called the sellers agent and we basically got good news. She pretty much said that when they listed the house, they had no idea what to list it for, she said to have the people interested in it to make an offer. So we are thinking that we might be able to get this house even cheaper than what we had planned. Just warning you guys now, if we do buy this house, please do not let the really ugly wood paneling turn you off on the house. Try to look past it. When we got there tonight it took Bill quite awhile to be able to look past the paneling and see possibilities....I know you are thinking ..no problem........or..it can't be that bad. Well to me it is, but I had no problems looking at what could be done. The paneling makes the house look really cheap and old, in all reality the house is only 17 years old, only 3 years older than the one we live in now. I took a but load of pictures!!

Today at work was a pretty cool day for me........I cleaned Jimmy Kennedy's house. If you are wondering "who is that" He plays for the Rams!! He is #73, he is a NT (nose tackle) or you could just say a defensive tackle. He is a very nice guy. I was there when he got home from the hospital with his new born son, whom he had to show off to us. Very awesome also. He lives in Camelot, where Orlando Pace also lives.

The House

Well I applied with some mortgage companies, We were preapproved today. So tomorrow we go out to the house again for a 2nd showing, then Wend. evening we meet with one of the mortgage people. Hopefully within a month or so we should be in a house!! When we were at Chili's for dinner tonight, Bill said that he wants to build a bar in one of the outbuildings. The one that is attached to the workshop, which would work out really good, being that the work shop already has a woodstove in it, and we are taking the garage furnace with us. This is all based upon if we get this house of course. I am kinda of scared cause the pre-approval went so easily. We can't pay full price for the house. If the people who are selling it are not willing to come down on the price, then there is no way we could buy the house. Wish us luck!! By the way, we will be here for Idol tomorrow night. We go to see the house at 5pm, so we should be back in time, if not you guys know how to get in. Just beaware of the big bad dog in our garage!!! :D

The Weekend

What a weekend!! It started off with not having to work at Papa Murphy's which was kinda weird. Then we didn't have a whole hell of alot to do this weekend. A pretty boring weekend as a matter of fact. Saturday Bill played golf, the kids & I looked at houses. We found 2 that we really like. Slept in today since it was Mother's Day. I cooked a meal that my husband refused to eat but I figured it is Mother's Day so I will cook want I want. It was really good. Grandma & Grandpa K. joined us for dinner and they loved the food. The kids gave me a candle and roses with carnations. Very pretty!!! We loaded up in the car and took Bill to see 1 of the houses that we really liked. He also liked it, the property is just beautiful!!! I applied online tonight for some home loans with 5 different lenders. The house is kinda out there, but it is totally what we are looking for. Now just keep your fingers crossed that we can get it. We took Jack with us, and it was funny watching him and the kids. That dog ran all over, he has never been able to run like he did tonight. He was so wore out when we got home. Bill keeps telling me to not get to excited, cause we don't know what is going to happen. But it is so hard to not get excited when all 4 of us actually agree on something!! It is about 25 1/2 miles from my current house up Hwy 79. The other house we found is 1 mile from the Warrenton exit.

Here are some pictures: They do no justice at all!!! The house sits on 3.11 acres. It would be great place for parties & bon fires!!! It would be awesome for a Halloween party!!

When you pull into the driveway.

Backside of house looking in the opposite direction on the property from the above pictures.

The inside needs some updating: But everything is very fixable!!

The wood paneling would have to go bye bye!

Notice all the outlets in the living room, Bill said that is normal for these kind of homes. I thought it was quite funny, every room has a butt load of outlets.

Again the paneling needs to go, and some new light fixtures and faucets.

Again a bunch of outlets!

The bathroom is pretty nice, new faucets and maybe some new tile. It is a pretty big bathroom and Kayla loves the tub.

Well I am off to bed!! It is late and I need some sleep.

Heartbroken

I am upset and heartbroken to see Chris leave A.I. I am starting to think that the show is fixed, and that they will never let a rocker win the show. My only hope left for the show is for Taylor to win it. If he gets booted next week I will not watch the final show. In my opinion (which most people don't agree with) Kat should have went home tonight and Elliot next week. I am sure Chris will be making cd's, which I am looking forward to. So now I am off to bed with a heavy heart.
