I don't update as often as I should, but life gets in the way.
We are still loving the new home, But will fall here, the trees are a PITA!! So many leaves! WOW. But I still love the trees, maybe because Mike not I rakes them ha ha. I find the hot-tub extra fun now that the weather is turning cold.
Megan is in K now, she loves it. She is doing really well and I am very proud of her. Soccer is almost finished, it will be missed. I am now officially a chauffeur to a 5 year old, very exciting life I live!
That is all for now, will TRY to update more later. Heck maybe even post some pictures!

Updates!!
I am a slacker, this I know.
So the updates.
My exciting news?? Did happen. We now live in our very own home!!! It is an amazing home, the second I saw it, I called it my dream house. Yes I will take pictures. But for now. Its about 2400 sq ft house, with 3 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a family room with a nice fire place, den (which is the office) a large dinning room and a really big kitchen. We have 2 decks, one is the size of a patio that is used for grilling, the other one is huge in the back of the house, its divided in half and has a hot-tub for 7 that my DD adores. It has a very nice size yard, with lots of trees so we get amazing privacy here. Very cool location.
My parents came and left, they loved the home. It was great having them here, so refreshing to hear positive stories and not only negativity.
Anyway, lots of people showed their true colors. Not sure if I want to get into it on here. But it will make being around them especially difficult. Zero respect was shown not only for me and my parents but also my child. And that makes me a very angry momma bear. Seeing their true colors, really changed me. And I am officially done even TRYING to be nice around them. How people can be this rude, cruel and selfish I have no idea. I really wish I could get into it here, but it will not solve anything and just ruffle feathers. So away with the negative and back to positive.
The school called me about Megan and she will start soccer at the beginning of August. I am super excited for her, she also LOVES swimming.
I will be back to post pictures.... hopefully soon.

I have been a bad blogger!
I know, I know. But you cant say I did not warn you.
I have been bad.
My exciting news is (.) this close now, but I am still not fully excited. With my luck it can all fall apart at the last minute.
My parents will arrive for a visit tomorrow and I am super excited by this. I miss them a lot.
Sad news, my mom found out she has problems with her heart. They have not been fixed with medications and shots, so when she goes back to NYC she will be admitted to the hospital. Please keep her in your prayers. I am so very worried.
Hope to update you all soon with not only my exciting news but also with some good news on my moms health.

My exciting news
That was (..) this close...
Is now (...................................................................................) this far away (((sad))) (((cry)))

Overdue Update
What has been going on?? A lot.
1- Megan got into the school we wanted her to get into, the school district is among the 10 best in Ohio. We had to use "open enrollment" to get her in, but she got in. Now I am not sure if I had to apply every year and if odds will be against us or if as current student she will get some advantage. I hope so. We are thrilled, even if it means driving 15 miles to get her to the school.
2- We find ourselves being (...) this close again, well actually its (..) this close now, to our exciting news. Hopefully this time we wont all go crashing around us. In a few days we should have more info. I am being cautiously optimistic, we have been around the block a few times and had our dreams crushed so I am being very careful not to get too excited.
Summer is here, and we are having fun. Mike only works 4 days a week so we have long weekends together. Megan wants to be outside and in the water 24/7.
I will post some pictures that later on.

Dad needed help
Mowing the backyard.

Preschool made
She made this caterpillar at preschool and loves him to pieces, his name is "stiples".
Pro-Picture
We just HAD to do pictures of all the grand-kids for MIL and this is Megan's. I do not like it at all. The light is not good. And they charged a small fortune for it. Not worth it.
Pass it on
My cousin gave me this dragon bank when I visited Poland ... many many years ago. Now I passed it on to my daughter who LOVES it.

Megan's kindergarten assessment
I was sure I blogged about this.
Well we debated for a while about what we should do. Megan turns 5 on July 31st and the cut off is August 1st. So if she goes this year, she will be the youngest child in her class (she is the youngest in her preschool class also).
However, we just got the results and she did awesome!! Half her her results came in at the highest point she could get, the other half only 1 point below the highest mark. Only ONE result came in 2 points below and that was for "answering questions". Now those who know my Megan, know that she loves to talk, tell stories etc. Since this was the first thing they did, I am assuming that she just got nervous as she didnt know any of those people, never saw them before and was separated from me right away, without really knowing where I went.
This made us make the decision that while age wise holding her back in preschool might be good, education wise we would be slowing her down and not letting her explore her mind.
In August of 2009, Megan will start AM kindergarten. Mommy is freaked out, where did my baby go??

Did not work out. Came this close (...) only to have it not work. I am sad. I am losing hope that it will ever work. But, what can you do.
Ugh.

Ugh, not sure..
How much I should say because I am not sure who is reading.
We found yet another home, with one acre of land. However the people did not want to budge from their asking price and it wasnt worth the asking price. Sooo....
We do have an update, and some very exciting news. But, I cant share it yet because I am not sure who is reading this. But an update should be posted soon.
On another note. I am totally addicted to the game Farm Town on facebook! I need help. No really, I do.

Two more homes.
Now watch by Monday both will be sold.
Both homes are in very good neighborhoods.
Home A) is in our neighborhood, its good because its new. The home was build in late 90'ies and is very elegant looking. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, great room, kitchen and a dinning room. I do not like the yard. The home sits at an angle and they yard is odd shaped. But ... not bad.
Home B) is in an established good neighborhood, downfall of that is very high taxes!! The home was build in the late 80'ies, is all brick, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, great room with fire place, living room and a large kitchen with enough room for a table.
Both homes have a nice size laundry room! Which is amazing. Both homes have 2 car garages.
I love home A because its soo elegant. Kitchen has an island and great room has cathedral cellings. Its all open plan. Great looking.
I love home B because the family room is on the other side of the house. So our main "sitting/watching tv/playing wii/computer/Megan's 10000000 toys room could be away from guests who drop by.
My plan was always to find a house that has that feature. Home A doesnt. However its elegance is pulling me in.
The homes are about the same size sq wise. Home A is a bit bigger and has a bit more land, but it also costs more.
I have to make a decision. Both homes are new on the market and with my luck they will sell from under me.

Ice killed a baby bunny.
I am still not over this and very, very sad.
I let Ice out into his kennel. Didnt think much of it. Got ready to leave, call Ice back home and he has fur in his mouth... ok... wtf?
I go in the kennel and see a nest a momma bunny made. Its a hole, under a chair that I used to give Ice shade in his kennel. The fur in his mouth was the mommas fur that she used to line the hole.
But one bunny is alive and well, the other barely moving. He wasnt aggressive at all, he was just wanting to play.
The bunny momma was sitting in the middle of the yard... watching.
We had to go, so with tears in my eyes I ran back home. That night Mike checked, the one bunny was dead, the other gone.
I cried... a lot. I still cry.
I went to clean his kennel this weekend and found the other baby bunny, dead. Not sure if this was bunny #2 that was alive and unharmed or if maybe this was #3 that died, he was buried under the moms fur and grass.
I am so sad. I know its not the dogs fault. He is just a dog. But I feel so guilty. So, so guilty.

I must be house "unlucky".
I keep losing all the homes I want!!!
1) The first home I lost, out in the "semi-country" by that I mean it was country BUT a neighborhood in the country (BTW just found out the well water would not be an issue as city is taking over THIS YEAR). Anyway this house was on the market for 7 months and NOT one person even looked at it. I finally look at it, and the same week they get 4 other offers. Realtor was acting a bit shady, so we lost it.
2) In the city, huge house but very plain outside. I still wanted it. It had a basement. This house was on the market for a YEAR with no offers. Lots of views, no offers. I make my offer, come to a verbal agreement.... and someone comes in and buys it from under me. I am still bitter as heck about this one.
Looking back, my realtor really did not protect me here, she should have been more aggressive in looking out for ME.
3) I go to an open house this Sunday. Great part of town. The house ... to drool for. New on the market. Not as big as house 2 and no basement but OMG... drool. Today I call the woman who had the open house to make my offer. Only to find out that at 9AM they already got an offer. Now I am waiting, to see if the broker already submitted the offer. If he did not, they can submit both offers. If he did, I am too late.
Update.... Yep, sadly home 3 is gone. Lost another one.

Easter
Easter Bunny came and left a gift at home.
We went to grandmas for an egg hunt and dinner
Bunny hopped by her house and left a gift also.
Not sure if you know, but this in fact is a new hot fashion style.

Houston... we have wireless.. again
For now anyway. Lets hope it stays on! I am not sure what is going on but my wireless router is old (4 years or so), that could be the problem.
Also my whole system is routed and rerouted so many times it takes a map to follow it all. lol

But she had to change yet again, and this time .... (great aside from the yellow socks lol)

Parent Teacher Conference.
Good and bad.
They told me Megan is the youngest kid in the preschool class. Both teacher and assistant told me her age worried them a lot, and when they found out she was never in a day care and always with me they expected the worst. But she did amazingly well in adjusting. And she is a fast learner.
The bad that she got I for....
She has problems knowing the difference between fantasy and reality. Her other problem was being able to create a patters.
The good .....
Somethings really shocked me that she knew. She can say the whole pledge, she knows how to do graphs, she said she loves science experiences, and likes to talk and tell stories... a lot, she can make rhymes and is one of the top students when it comes to it.
And she knows all the average stuff like colors, numbers, small and big letters, when they read a story she follows it can ask and answer questions about it, she remembers songs and poems etc etc...
I asked the teacher if she thinks Megan is ready for kindergarten, and she said... because of her age IF she was her daughter she would leave her in preschool one more year.
Time is getting close by and I still dont know what to do. We have testing set up on the 14th, I am sure we will make a decision after the testing.
