The kids stayed home most of last week with colds, and of course now I have it.uhgg!

  We spent the weekend cleaning up the new place alittle, and the kids played on the trampoline, and Jake our colt, 10mo. old finally came upto us and let us pet him.  This is a big step, we have had his mother since Aug. and then bought Jake about 3 mo. ago, and it has taken him this long to come around.

  Went to lowes on Sunday and picked up supplies for the handy man, he has been here since Monday, the first day he fixed the waterline were it comes in to the house,finished putting up the rafters (about 10) and started re wiring the house, he finished the wiring in the living room and kitchen and today will finish the kids room hall and bathroom.  That will take him all day, I guess.

  Then all we have to do is put up  the insulation in that part of the house, and put the plywood over that, and make more wall extension.  This is a old trailer we are raising the roof 2 feet, so hubby doesn't hit is head. then we can do the fun stuff.  I purchased knobby pine planks for the interior walls, and hard wood for the kitchen floor, and carpet for the rest, and we have white wood looking planks for the ceiling tile, then we can move in.  I'm getting so excited.

Once we are up there we can do more each day, right now I just want to get in there and out of this super small trailer, it is 12x40 and there are 5 -6 of us here, the kids and I have taken to sleeping in the rv.

  Jerry has been off-shore surveying the damage to the oil rigs form the hurricanes, and he e-mailed me and said they might be done this week end. HOORAY!!! He has been gone since before Christmas.  Won't he be surprised to see how much has gotten done.

  Well let me get off here, so I can wait for his phone call.  Hope you all have a great day.
