I've done that in the past with him, trashed his stuff (or hid it depending on if it was worth saving). I actually DID trash stuff because he didn't need broken toys or old outgrown clothes, he just never would sort it out himself :P

You're quite welcome for the items and advice.

Oh gosh Kat, that's a lot going on! And a lot of people to figure out!

The kids don't normally clean their rooms either, as you know, but for something big like this we can normally make it happen!

El actually cleaned her room for the first time in like 2 years, after I've been harassing them for ages, so that her friend and her little brother could sleep over the other night.

So hopefully Nathan will GET WITH THE PROGRAM and help out!

He has helped out some. He's gotten his bathroom scoured like I asked :P He also did some dishes (finally). (I hate dishes, as soon as you have something clean, it gets dirty again). I am making him a list for today that I want him to work on, so hopefully MORE things will get done today.

When I get home I'll do a bit more too - like vacuuming and whatever remaining dishes, and I'll bring the other chair back out here I guess (not that anyone is likely to sit at the table in this house anymore but just in case) :P

Tomorrow he has graduation practice in the morning, so he can do some more cleaning in the afternoon too - and I might be able to talk Shane and maybe even Anna into cleaning a bit if I feel enough hasn't been done by that afternoon (he said they will arrive in the morning, but that probably means they are going to drive all night and will sleep when they get here tho) As I said, no idea if my papa and Kathe will come to the house for long, if at all on Tuesday.

[edit] 420pm Awww just got informed there is "viral bronchitis" at my papas house (she didn't say who) so they are cancelling their trip and won't be coming :(

But the news says masquerade so YAAAAY. I do not know how involved I will be this year. I have TONS of trinkets already. I do want to do mystery dances. I will of course, accept all dances asked of me.

EDIT: 730pm Just finished Drills and found [item2=Citrus Charms Bubble Gum Leg Warmers] in my inventory :o

[edit] Tuesday 610am Hmm, checked my vault - Oofa Fruit 71 in your vault

I think next time my pets check out of the veta hotel I need to feed them oofa fruits LOL

Awww, I'm sorry about your papa Kat. :( Maybe they'll come later in the summer, even if it's not FOR the graduation?

Congrats on the legwarmers!

Oh gohs, that's a lot of oofa fruits!

Went and got a workup and some CT scans yesterday.. nothing found anything weird and still, no one knows what's up :P So apparently the doctor is going to call today to talk. But he doesn't think it's anything BAD at least so.

.... at least there's that?

Awww sorry your Papa can't make it Kat :( I know you were looking forward to him coming.

Glad Nathan has been helping out a bit :P

Congrats on Drills and thank you for the Bow :)

LOL thats a lot of oofa fruit why have you got a collection of them?

Where do I find masquerade masks to?

[edit] Meke glad they didn't find anything bad on the scan and that the Dr does'nt think anything bad is wrong

Yes. He said something about seeing what his schedule was like for August. Of course I'll be back at work by then but he can still visit.

I guess it's good they didn't find anything but also...like...you need to know what's going on...

I have the pods fruits for the oofa fruit achievement. Find a bug in the oofa fruit

Ahh right thats why you have so many LOL, Iv'e never heard of that achievment :P

Glad your Papa can come see you even if you are back in work by then you will still get the evenings to spend with him

I've been working on as many achievements as I can

[edit] 340pm Well Shane is here, he and Anna came to pick me up, so he got to visit with Mr. Steele (the principal, whom he knows because he was the principal at the middle school Shane went to) and Dewberry, a co-worker who went to highschool with Shane (they did a German class project together at my house) :D It was nice. And apparently I am all confused because they have a hotel for their stay. I know he said that at one point, but then he said staying here or coming here or something and so then I thought they were just planning to stay here instead of a hotel but apparently they have a hotel. Less confusion at my house I guess :P

looks like i get to use my oofa fruits today and/or tomorrow (or sometime soon anyway). All my pets just checked out of the resort

Chelle, you get masks from Migrating Masks. Or they might have some in the steamworks shop? I'm not sure...

Ooooh Kat. Well, at least they won't be at your house and you won't be cleaning up after them, too! But boo for getting everything all ready for them haha.

Is ok. To be honest, Shane knows how my house gets. He lived here lol. So it was really Anna and Papa and Kathe I was cleaning up for. My mama is a hoarder and her house is always insane so she thinks mine is sparkly even when it's messy lol

I think steam works has some masks. But any mask works, as long as the name has "mask" in it. So like the cardboard zombie masks work even. Those are expensive but it's an example of random masks.

Planned dinner for four. Ended up having possibly six. And dropped down to one. Me. Oh well. I actually only cooked for two. But then Nathan ate pizza with his friends (the extra two). So now I have dinner leftover for lunch tomorrow since I don't know what's on the menu at school lol

Going to go build my bed. See y'all later

[edit] 630am took me over an hour to build my bed. But I am happy with it! :D

This morning I submitted the outfit I'm wearing to the avatar new user clothing contest. I mainly did it for the sticker hahaha :P BUT also, I always do simple outfits, and they don't usually cost much, so I figured why not. I tried on three or four before I chose this one. (not the mask. added that after, for just in case masquerade starts and I'm not able to change my outfit lol)

Oooh, a new bed Kat?

Ugh I finally took the old, gross screen door off yesterday, now today I was going ot scrape and paint the door frame but I started scraping it and it's basiclaly all dry rotted AND WHY IS NOTHING EVER EASYYYYYYYY.

I think your HA is cute!

A new bedframe really. I switched mattresses with Shane's about a month ago, going from a queen bed to a full. He only had the metal base, not a bedframe. I like having a bedframe. I went browsing to look and the first place had a sleigh bed frame at a decent price so instead of just looking I bought lol. Then it took over a week to get delivered to the store I bought at because they only had it in queen.

And thanks!! [edit] 450pm Lawn mowed, some dishes washed, Nathan wants Zaxby's for dinner - big surprise there right? :P Shane and Anna are visiting ex-inlaws in Mansfield = no idea when they'll be back over here. Bed is made for Gramma and Grandpa whenever they get here (they didnt leave til after 1pm!)

I texted Ryan and asked if he was coming here before graduation to get his mail and his ticket(s). He said he can. So I asked if he would be here in time to go notarize the quit claim deed paper. He said "depends on when I get off work" HMMM. I am going to give him one more chance, if he isn't here in time to go do it before grad, he can take it with him and notarize it and mail it back to me.... and if he doesn't, I think I'm going to go ask for a consultation with a lawyer and ask WTH I can do since in the divorce paperwork he is supposed to quitclaim it to me and he ISN'T yet and TWICE (I think) I've told him the bank says that is the best/easiest way for me to get the mortgage into my name.

He then also asked if I was off work tomorrow. Umm, no? I wish. Two more days tho with kids and then only 4 days after that!! AND then I'll have lots of time to decide/run and do whatever it is I decide to do. Been debating 5K into a savings account to try and save (although I THINK I'm going to end up using some if not all of that for groceries over the next year) Also debating do I want to put another $500 on another CD and add it to my secured credit card (if I can do that? I don't know). Then I can use it for flying to Texas/hotel if I change my mind/baby comes early enough for me to go in July - and also I can go in October since that is my first week off school. (tho I will still have college and will have to talk to my professors I guess about the trip and find out if that week will supposed to be an in-person or online day for me! LOL (because I can get online from there if its online, but will have to work with professors if its in person days)

Gonna go quest.

Oooh well, congrats on the new bed!

And ughhh on Ryan. Hopefully he'll just.. DO it tomorrow!

Speaking of money. I've got to get a new dryer. :( And it's going to rain all week now so.. this is great :P

I love the sleigh bed :D My old one actually came up almost above the mattress on the footboard part, even tho I had a taller mattress. LOL I wonder why they changed that part. Its fine tho, I like it.

Ugh for new dryer. And rain, so can't even hang stuff outside to dry until you get a new one! Argh!

Hopefully! I am not asking him to file it, I just asked if he could get the form NOTARIZED. (I will freaking file it, maybe I should say that to him...but he should be able to figure that out on his own if he's halfway smart enough to understand I asked for him to NOTARIZE a form and didn't ask anything else)

oh! Did I tell ya'll they were switching us to twice a month paychecks? They sent out a "final end of year payment plan" the other day - and if I understood it right - due to the way the pay has been handled in the past - I will be getting TWO MONTHS worth of pay in ONE month!! - It read "July 15, payment that would have been July 30" and "July 30, payment that would have been Aug 31" - and then "Aug 15, Aug 30, regularly scheduled approved semi-monthly salary" (or something very similar to that anyway)

Yeah, and we had just washed a FULL load of towels so.. even better :P There's now towels on the drying rack and hanging off the shower rods and.. towels everywhere. :P

$907 later, will be delivered Saturday and they'll haul away the old one.

RIGHT like.. all he has to do is sign it in front of someone!

Whoo hoo, that'll make it easier to pay bills, etc. maybe? haha. It might make it harder at first actually.. unless you get two in one!

Users Online: 309 That is the most I've seen online in a long time.

It'll be fine. I have lots in the bank right now, and getting that two months, PLUS the last bonus on June's paycheck...

But all my bills are scheduled to come out (most at the beginning of the month) - so like, I'll get June's paycheck at the end of the month, all the bills will come out at the beginning of July like normal for July's bills, then I'll get two July paychecks (double the $ if I am right), so then all of August's bills will come out of that - so on and so forth. I freaked for a bit about that until I realized it'll all work out that way (even w/o the extra paycheck and bonus)

The main difference is that I can probably go set up auto-pay on my one bill that isn't set up (the credit card) - its the only bill not set on auto-pay and it is due like the 20th. Almost all the bills are due before the 10th, there is one or two small ones that are due between the 10th and the 15th (water and kindle I think). Then the credit card is due the 20th. I did my best to have all the bills set to come out shortly after I got paid, so all the bills got paid and then whatever was left, was whatever I had left! LOL

Oh well Hahah I just remembered my power isn't auto pay either - but it IS pre-pay so - yea. I pay it once a month and then add more as needed (I know how much I use per month -as I've been doing it this way for almost 15yrs- so I usually add just over that and am normally fine and don't need to add any extra)

[edit] 535am Feeding oofas - As your pet bites into the Oofa Fruit, a Smoochie wriggles out! Yuck! ( found it around feed lol) Oofa Fruit Finder Find a bug in an Oofa Fruit while feeding it to your pet. 4/5 (really 4/10)

I also have to feed black candy bars - I have 25/250 for that lol

Oooh, congrats! I have 0 on the oofa fruits haha. I think I'm finally getting close on the black candy bars though?

Also it's been 14 hours and our towels are still.. wet wet. So that's great :P And it's going to rain all day.

It doesn't... - I stopped to say goodbye to Iz and I completely forgot what I was going to write here haha. So all you get is It doesn't.

They're bringing the new dryer Saturday so I've got to really get the downstairs clean like it hasn't been in uh.. a while :P Time to get rid of the stuff that's just.. piled up, get the cleaning stuff out from behind the bathroom door so it opens all the way, take the leaves out of the table.. after I clean it off :P

So that's my plan for today.

I thought about buying oofas.... But I haven't. I just collect the ones I get from slots while doing drills and feed when I have over 50 and the pets get out of the resort lol

Probably" it doesn't" help that everything is so humid there and stays wet? I remember you saying that about your dishes, that's why you hand dry them because they won't air dry....

Yay for a new dryer. Could you take your towels today to a friends or the inlaws or even a coin laundry and dry them? Before they get musty. Yuck.

Graduation ceremony tonight!!!!

It stopped raining, so I took them all outside and hung them over railings, on the line, over the swing and glider back haha. I even tossed a few pieces of clothing in the washer and hung them up after.

Then took a bath, after cleaning the basement all morning... but then I realized that we were apparently out of heating oil, so I took a lukewarm bath and didn't get to wash my hair.

BUT IT'S FINE, WHAT'S ANOTHER $500 THIS WEEK.

AHHHHH YAY HAPPY GRADUATION! Congrats Nathan!!!!

All complete. I'll throw a photo or two here tomorrow. I have a few posted on Facebook and will post more tomorrow

Grad pictures

OH! AND! Ryan got the dang form notarized! YAY! Then he got all pissy I couldn't find his jewelry. I know I would not have got rid of that, those are his, so why I couldn't find them I don't know. I'm going to have to tear apart my bedroom and closet now, trying to find them. I remember putting them in a little bag and I can't find that bag now. sigh
