- well, i have some good news! i talked to our youngest daughter. she's got a 4.0 gpa and this helped her get a scholarship through her sorority to help with next semester's classes. she's so excited as she's starting to get into the classes specialized for her major.she wants to be an elementary school teacher. :D

oh i'm sure i have bites. i don't like the spray so i just gave up for the day and its now finally raining.

Lol XD Might need to put up some repellent candles XD

Oh man LOL! Jesse likes to kick me in the back when he is sleeping. Drives me up the wall lol 😂

Rickkk!!! YESSSS! 😍 LOL! So glad you like it!

LOL! You crack me up XD Have you been working on your island at all?

I think that's great news!! Wow a 4. gpa is amazing!

I would be going crazy if I got bit up by mosquitos. We don't have them where I live but I wouldn't have to go far to find some. I'm so over the rain...

Not as much as I would like to as Happy Homes Paradise has me sucked in lately. But still scouring the internet looking for the perfect design codes and and watching YouTube videos about AC. I may have a problem. :-D

Oh no, did that one design code set end up not working out for you?

I made a path of it and didn't like it. It was brown with orange flowers so it matched the orange flowers I've been using already but in a path it was too much and looked Halloweenish. lol So now I think I'm going to use a default design and a border design code along the edges of it. Are you on another AC break?

I need to get back on AC soon, I've been spending my free time on here lately >_< The kids and the cleaning is starting to keep me busier so not as much time to get on games, blehhh.

Michael always wants me to hold him while he is sleeping, so those flying arms are bound to happen haha. Even when I untangle myself from him, he'll cuddle up next to me or even wake himself up enough to want me to put my arms back around him. It's super cute, but let me have my space boyo :P

2 kids and both so young I wouldn't have much free time either. Just wait, once they're both in school you're going to be so happy and have so much free time. :-)

- i was happy about that, too. she's moving from her sophomore year to her junior year with a 4.0. i'm hoping she'll be able to keep it there the rest of the way. :D

- waves hi! been keeping out of trouble? ❤ :D

yeah I'm not really happy with the flies cause we do like to sit outside/hang out...we've got some fly bags in two different spots and they are still awful. I'm interested in this salt gun? lol Must do some research cause I'm definitely willing to try something else :P

aww that sucks that she died before you were born. She sounds like she'd have been a great grandma. I regret not getting to know my dad's mom more when I was little...he was actually adopted and she was lovely. Definitely didn't get to met either of my parents dad's unfortunately. I will definitely have hubs look into it and call the insurance to see how much it might cost because yeah good insurance lol

that is so cute that she'd do it and laugh LOL! Kids love a chance to show off how they do things lol :P That is hilarious about the trick or treat thing though like I wouldn't have cringed haha :P If I had an uppity stepmom I'd have probably howled with laughter LOL (she wouldn't have been amused but the rest of us would have been) LOL

yeah dandelions have a LOT of health benefits which are great...You can look them up :P and if you see them in your grass it means your earth is really hard/compacted etc....and once they've "fixed" your soil they'll move along and you won't get them anymore lol and there's some cheap ones on Fivver for like under 150 bucks so I might look into it or just try it on my own. If I can get someone else to do it for me including some design elements and of course some integration with apps it might be worth it lol haven't officially decided yet :o And yeah my kid cracks me up...she's hilarious! :P Oh and the other table came early! :o Hubs is working on it now whoohoo so I I'll be able to do the "bread" run later and then it will be ready to go. (bread run is where you get cheap bread/run machine/help get rid of new machine smell) lol

Ahh okay well that makes perfect sense then! If your hubby can't maintain the yard/house then obviously a house isn't the best option for either of you. If my parents had needed help I'd have personally gone for the maintaining the house/yard LOL (I figure I'd be getting a space rent free) so it would be my contribution. But if they weren't into it and other kids flew the nest it does make sense to have a smaller space in a smaller community. I mean at least you have quiet neighbors! The last time we did a townhome we had great/quiet neighbors and then when we were getting ready to move/leave some freaking like 18-21 year olds moved in next door and were having parties/loud music etc and like we could hear everything and my hubby was getting up at like 3am at the time....I was grateful we were moving but was super aggravated at the time so I'd imagine I'd have freaked out on our landlord at some point about crappy neighbors. lol

I'd recommend health once you get your defense up a bit. I'm working on my own pet invokes and after talking with my battle friend Wesker I think I might do mainly strength/health...then leech a bit of my defense to put those back into speed XD

- well, our older kids helped as much as they could but they live in pennsylvania and texas so that was a bit inconvenient. lol our youngest has taken over a lot of the housework as his contribution and i'm grateful. if he weren't here we'd have to pay a care giver to come in and take care of things as neither of us are able to do much. we did get lucky with our neighbors and the community is an older one so there's not a lot of moving in and out. the people who live here have lived here for years and apts rarely become available. in fact, we got the apt only because the previous tenant died. the landlord hadn't even advertised the place before we called. we got lucky. :D i'll be honest, i miss being able to garden. i didn't do much but i did grow tomatoes. sadly, i can't even container grow them here as we get no direct sunlight. the upstairs neighbor's deck and the woods that surround the building block it all out. :D

well that makes sense! I didn't stay in any town even growing up LOL and I've kept that up as an adult...or at least after I got married LOL! We never seem to stay in a place more than a year or two :P And I'm super glad you guys have your youngest to help you out! That's amazing! And that's super lucky on the community too! We've never been able to get like older communities cause we aren't 55 yet sooooo that means we can get stuck in places near young/jerky kids lol :P And that is amazing timing that you were able to call and get that place before advertised :o Wow! Oh man that sucks on the gardening :( Is there like a front patio/around the side of the house you guys could put a few tomato plants maybe? or like outside your small backyard...I mean it would be out in the open but I'm sure no one would touch it <3 and worst case scenario you could always look into an aerogarden.....I know if you get the tomato breeds that stay short and stocky erm indeterminate and determinate (one of those is shorter) lol but the shorter ones you can grow in aerogardens :) and that's indoors like on a kitchen counter :)

WOW you are so close to tier 13 :O you got way ahead of me XD the pains of training 4 pets XD but I do have two tier 12's now 18053 / 22001

Oh we made hang ornaments last year it was pretty neat but after doing it like 6 times he got kinda bored with it XD

aw <3 your has are awesome :D you can't even see what your making so its like A+!

how is your week going

We like it and it kinda makes a game of it when you have a lot of people hunting flies XD

that would be a lot, our yard is huge xD

yes i can't stand mosquitoes.. somehow they don't bother my dad. :S we had rain last night a bit but i want more.. xP

I haven't bothered with the wedding thigns at all lol. I'm giggling a bit when you say you don't even know why you are doing it :D

yeah we've got a heatwave and it's scorching yuck. You're a squishymellow magnet eh?

ah that's a good possibility. Also it doesn't help that I lived overseas and we moved a lot so by the time a trend came along we usually had moved to somewhere the trend was finished lol. Wasn't as global back then as things are now.
I think so.

yes similar to toy scooters but with a knee seat and wider front wheels for balance. the leg is resting on the seat which is curved a bit to accommodate a cradle for the leg and the foot hangs off it.
I've had signs of early retinopathy. unfortunately I didn't get the sugars down enough to prevent scarring as I was told yesterday. One of the scars is right near the bulk of the visual centre of the eye. So I've got more pressure to get my sugars down to prevent more scarring or loss of vision

she was already a great grandmother from what my mum's told me. Mum was the last of 6 kids so Gran had grandkids from her other boys. Sorry you didn't get to know them better too -hugs- Good luck on insurance

congrats on the high tier pets! I'm ... tier 5.... 😆

I have a tier 6 I am working on just takes a lot of patience XD it was tier 5 not TO long ago XD I have a tier 9 too and several tier 3s...can't stop wont stop

Haha well I think I have one, its a cat go figure that my mom bought me but otherwise I don't really collect them, but I do like looking at them when Im at the store

- lmao, we're not 55 either. it's not an 55 or older community. just a community of older buildings where there is very little turnover. the landlord is wonderful and the buildings well maintained. we did get really lucky snagging this place. :) what's an air garden? you're not talking about hydroponics or those gardens people hang from the ceiling... are you saying there's a way i can grow tomatoes on my kitchen counter? (yes, i've been in a bubble for the past 7 years, lol ) if so, that may be doable. :D

- my current ha was made by diana. she gets all the credit for this one. honestly, i tried to make a ha after hubby got tired of doing it for me and, well, it was laughable. apparently not all file names correctly describe the actual item... 😆

- that sounds like it would be very useful in your situation. kudos to mom for getting it for you! has it helped with the pain? :D oh, no! hopefully you'll b able to keep your a1c in check so there's no more scarring. i make light of my disability but i don't want yu to join my ranks. ❤ - you were right to ditch "the ruin of kings" when you did. i'm on the 3rd book now and it's excruciating. i've already got the 4th book so i'll read it but only as a cautionary tale of what not to do in fantasy. ;)

aw :( well hopefully we can keep you going for a while <3
