HeAintThroughWithMeYet

I been depressed lately and it all come back about my son.

A few days ago I watched a show on TV called “Intervention” and it showed alcohol and drug addicted people, where the Family from them set up an intervention and mostly those people accept the help they get offered and some not all really get “clean” and don’t turn back.

I wish there would be something for my son.

He is my only child and of course I worry about him, because I know in my heart of hearts that he is going in the wrong direction.

So when I hear responses like that from my son to his friend, I am hurt deeply hurt, and angry. Yes, it gets me really angry.
When I am in the state of being angry I can handle the separation very well, but the anger disappears and the hurt last so much longer.

I needed to write it out, because it tears me up inside. There is nowhere to turn, I got to go through this myself. Many people can talk, and trying to comfort, but something inside me broke, irreparable broken. Other people show their unbelief of what happened between me and him. Yet other’s are mad at him and tell me “You doing the right thing!” But…..Is it the right thing?

For month’s I been reading about this little sweet boy Julian. Well Julian passed a few months ago due to cancer. His mom still writwes on carepages.com, and I still read her blog entries. She made this new video and it shows the pain what does kids and the parents go through.

This is not a video you want to watch the first time with your kids, I advise to watch it alone first and than decide if you want your child to watch it.

Well it’s been a while since I last posted……………

nothing much happened really except I am still unpacking and honestly I am getting tired of it.

I have severe pain in both my feet. I thought since I have a sit-down job now I wouldn’t have no footpain anymore, but it got even worse now. Yesterday it was so bad I could hardly move. Seems to me there will be soon a doctor visit for me.

Currently we are extremly busy at work, like we get no break in between calls. One call ends and the next one is coming in. On Saturday night/Sunday mornign I came home and my hubby and I sat on the couch for a little bit talking. Alloversudden in the middle of a sentence I lose my voice COMPLETELY!
Thinking well this will pass. Got up Sunday, and still no voice. Over the course of the say my voice came back off and on. Today I have my voice back but it sounds like I am hoarse.

I am ok, as long as it wont go away. I work on the phone ya know. I need my voice!

LAst Sunday I had a little flood in the basement cause the sink next to the washer had a crack,but the maintenance man cmae and fixed it, and everything is fine now.
What we found out though is………….the airconditioner doesn’t work well. Well the airconditioner does but the house is poorly insulated. But I already got a call from the realtor that this coming Friday someone will come by to install insulation under the roof (cant think of the word for that area). I hope that this will solve the problem, cause if it doesnt cool down the house now, it wont keep the heat in the winter and that could be very costly!

Like I said, nothing much happening here, besides me wmoving furniture back and forth, and trying to unpack everything. Work is getting easier, but every now and than I am confronted with a problem and dont know how to fix it, and need to ask for help.

But I really like my job.

God has shown himself so much to me, he showers me with so many many blessings, and grace. He is with me in all calls at work and he is just AMAZING!!!

Hope you all have a great week

Love Andrea

Well folks,

we been living here since Friday a week ago, and it looks like we just moved in a few hours ago. Nothing is going the way I wish it would be!

Let’s start at the Beginning…………………..

it was planned that my husband goes to the Realtor to sign his part on the lease Friday Morning at 9:00am, well he did. Than he was sitting in their office because they couldnt find the keys to our house. Finally at 10:00am they informed him that they lost the keys, but that the Landlord would open the door, and than on the following Monday (memorial Day) the maintenance man would change locks.

So, we moved in. The move alone took us almost 4 day’s. Who would’ve thought! In the very Beginning of that move a friend helped us with a few pieces, the heavy ones that my husband and I couldnt do alone. Than that friend left, and it was us alone.
When we got to the house though I realised that the Kitchen wasn’t cleaned at all. And the boxes with all the dishes and food arrived, and filled up the Kitchen and I wasn’t able to put them up. So I claled my Friend jennifer (Pastor’s Wife) and she came over and cleaned for a few hours the cabinets.
THANK YOU JENNIFER!!!!

Like I said we moved for day’s. Than on last Sunday I went to the old house and cleaned it up.  And now since we live in here we realised a few more things that are wrong. 

So, of course the Maintenance Man did show up bright and early with a smile on his face, cause he couldn’t think of being anywhere else on Memorial Day than in our house to change locks. Uhmmm NO, he never showed up and I understand I wouldn’t had either, but to us it was frustrating. He came however on Tuesday and put a new lock in.
On friday we realised that the new lock doesn’t work. You couldn’t lock with the key, but when you turned the knob inside and than smacked the door shut it wouldn’t open so I thought. On Friday my husband showed me, that when you turn the knob and smack the door shut and are outside and than wiggle hard enough with that lock it pops right back open.
So I had to call again, but thankfully they came out the same day and it is fixed now.

Yesterday I went downstairs in the basement to wash laundry. Everything looks real nice for a basement. So I started my laundry and as I stay at the washer I look around me and up towards the ceiling where I happen to see this huge pipe going right by me. As I followed the pipe with my eyes, I realise this is the sewer pipe and it is a beauty of a pipe  Uhmmm, NO…about two feet over my heat I see damage to that pipe, and for some smart reason someone taped ducktape over where the pipe tries to bust. Than I go upstairs work in the house and after a while I put the next load of Laundry in, and a while later when I went back downstairs the basement is flooded. The sink next to the washer is leaking badly.
Also the faucet in the bathroom is bad. Of course when I told the maintenance Man about the faucet last week he assured me I would get a new faucet. Of course he fix it! Nope!

Now the windows……………….OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Each window consists of a top window, a inside window you can slide up and down, another window you can slide up and down and a screen. Uhmmm I have only 6 windows alone in the familyroom. And they are filthy.
Today’s task is to clean those windows in the Familyroom.

After we moved I went to Walmart and bought blinds, all happy that my hubby will put them up on Saturday the day after we moved in. On a side note. My hubby always wanted a little toolbox which I got him for last Christmas. Nothing big just a cheap thing witha  few tools in it and a Drill. So he is all set to hook up those blinds, right?
NOPE!
When I got home Saturday night from work, there were two blinds hanging up. I asked him whats going on. All day and you have two blinds up?? He said it is very difficult. And that he already broke two drill bits.
And he told me that I bought the wrong sizes.
HAH!!! Not so, but my hubby decided not to use the correct blind for the correct window. I should’ve bought him  a measuring tape instead of a drill   So he didnt install thse TWO blinds on the isnide of the frame but chose to put them over the frame. It looks great! Finally in the course of the week he did manage to put up all 6 in the familyroom, 1 in the bathroom, and two in the bedroom. They all hang in different way’s.
My husband is truly a Handyman!!!!
I wish I could afford to get someone in here to fix this! 

This passed Saturday he finally was able to go out to yard and mow. And he was happy. He mowed and mowed and mowed some more. I had to leave for work and I think he really likes mowing. I watched him driving up and down. It was hillarious. He never had a riding lawnmower and so he isn’t used to when he takes off. Everytime he took off it looked like the lawnmower gonna throw him off. But after a few times he got the hang of things.

Below I have a Slideshow from my hubby on the mower! I will go now and start cleaning those windows!

Till later
Love Andrea
