almost done!

we are almost done with everything at the WF house and it is getting put on the market today, yeah!!!!!! i went out there on wednesday and cleaned the bathroom and kitchen, so hopefully the realestate agent will say it looks ok and he will take pics and get it all listed. doubt we will get much traffic through there this weekend, but as the weather warms up i hope to see more people going to look.
kiera and andrew went back to school yesterday after track out. this one was a harder track out than before, i think b/c there were just off at Christmas so to be home again for three weeks was a bit much. and it always throws me off to have them out and i still have to take jamie to school. he is doing way better getting to school. he doesn't fight me and really seems to enjoy going. we head to the library every week as his treat for going to school well, i have gotten very familiar with the books there and can tell you what we have already checked out. can't believe that soon jamie will be joining kiera on the bus and heading off for a day at school.
speaking of school, i met up with some girls i went to high school with last weekend. it was weird to say the least. it is hard to go and see people from 16 years ago b/c we all changed and you have no idea what these people are like now. it was like meeting two new people. i can see hanging out with one of them more, but one of them just seems way different and i don't think we would get along any more. she is conservative in a lot of her thinking and i think we would just clash too much. it is funny b/c she has not sent me a note or anything to say she enjoyed getting together, granted i haven't either, so i guess that just shows you can't go back in time. and the more i think about the night the more i feel like they weren't really interested in getting to know me now. neither one of them asked about how i had andrew and was i ever married to his father, no questions about my husband or my kids or my life at all. i made the comment about my parents divorce and how it affected me (i stopped eating) and no questions...i kind of felt like why the hell am i here if you aren't going to try to act interested. i sat there and gave them the clif notes version of my life over the past 16 years and that was it. they also kept in touch with each other after high school so for a while i sat there as they talked about trips they took and things they did. nothing like feeling like the third wheel. it is nice to think that you can go back to people you were friends with in school, but really you can't. there are lots of people from college and high school that i tried to have friendships with now and it just doesn't work. i think a lot of people expect me to be the wallflower i was in high school and when i start to speak my mind they don't know what to do with me. oh well, lesson learned, don't get together with old friends, it isn't worth it.
on another note, i am getting new ink. it will be flowers, one for each of the kids, maybe some other ones as well and one butterfly. of course now i have to figure out where i want it. i would like this one to be somewhere i can see it and enjoy it, so guess putting it on my back is not going to happen. i had thought about my right arm but i don't know if there is enough space. so we shall see where it seems to work best and then get it. i told the two younger kids i was getting it done and kiera seemed excited b/c she told me she wants the flower for her to be read, of course jamie wants his purple and andrew will want his light blue. so i am thinking of doing a japanese iris for jamie, a camellia for kiera and a hydrangea for andrew. i just hope they can tie them all together so it doesn't look like a bunch of flowers on my body. once i get it done i will put a picture of it up.
