Yet another website for me to maintain

As if I didn't have enough to do with facebook and myspace, I decided to create this. I think this will take the place of myspace, though. I'm going to try to be my own parent and delete my account, since I can't do it the conventional way. But, since I blogged on there this morning, I'm just going to copy and paste it to start this blog:

It's that wonderful time of day known as quiet time. Lorelei is still sleeping, Liam just went to sleep, Molly and Maggie are content in the basement... all is quiet! In about 1/2 an hour all will not be quiet and there will be whining and crying in abundance, so I'm enjoying it while it lasts.
I actually got a little bit of work done around the house this morning, in the midst of phone calls, fights and feeding. My bedroom looks a lot better than it did. I got all the toys out that don't belong, all the books out that don't belong, all the other crap out that doesn's belong. Why is it that things always end up where they don't belong? Most of the time, that is what my day consists of... putting things back where they belong. And I'm not talking about toys on the floor, I'm talking about things (toys included) in the wrong rooms or even on the wrong level of the house. It's very frustrating...
I got the kitchen cleaned up too, which was a big improvement to the whole of the house since the dishes hadn't been done in a while and there was clutter all over the counters. Now it is perfectly neat and pretty clean too! :) The whole first floor is pretty neat, actually, although I'll have to vacuum once Lorelei wakes up because the floor is one sandy, crumby mess.
In other news... I think we're going to put our house up for sale. We love this place, but it just has too many issues that can't be fixed. 1) The Yard. It's a nice big yard, but that's part of the problem. It takes forever to mow and it's not level. And there are no trees in the backyard, so while all the kids toys are back there, they never want to play out there because it's too hot. 2) Central Air. We don't have it. We do have window units, but they are a pain. And in the spring, when it's too cold at night to have them in, but too hot during the day, opening the windows makes Maggie's allergies just awful. So we need to be able to control the environment a little bit better. 3) Stairs. It looks like my issues aren't going away and with little kids (but even as they get bigger) going up and down the stairs is going to become increasingly difficult. 4) The Well. It sucks. Enough said. 5) The Driveway. It's very long and very steep and really hard to get snow off of it. 6) Garage. While we're being thorough, I might as well add that Bob really needs more space for his work shop. Not to mention the fact that we can't park our cars inside.
So, if anyone knows about a 2400 square foot, single story living house with central air, a small flat yard, short flat driveway, public water, 2 car garage and a big out building in the back, let us know! Oh, and I forgot to add, it can't cost more than about $200,000. And it would be nice if it weren't further than about 15 minutes away from Bob's work. That's not asking too much, is it? :)
Well, I hear Lorelei's aquarium music, so that means she's awake. Quiet time's over! That's was a good 15 minutes! :)

Hell hours began about 1/2 an hour ago, but since Liam is sleeping and Lorelei is temporarily happy making a mess and Molly and Maggie decided to play on thier computer instead of hit me on the head with thier fairy wands, I'm able to do this for a little bit. YAY! :)

Maybe now I'll blog more often?

ttfn!
