Good morning everybody! Actually, I’m not sure how good it is, I’m completely exhausted. Hopefully you are doing much better than I am. 
I’ve been so crazy busy with buying our first house that I have fallen WAY behind with blogging. I’m still going to be behind for a while because I still have so much to do, but I’ll catch up eventually.
I’m supposed to post our weekly spending today, followed by a round-up on Saturday. I don’t really see that happening right now. It might take me a few days to get them up because I just don’t have the time or mental energy to do it.
As for our house, the USDA approved our home loan and we got our keys (finally) yesterday. We changed our locks and set off bug foggers just in case there were some creepy tenants living in our new house.
We got some things we needed and a few we wanted, plus we ordered our fridge.
Today, we’re going to be painting and getting the house ready to move our stuff in soon.
I’m behind on posts, replying to comments (I will get to them and totally appreciate each and every one), reciprocating comments, regular reading of other blogs, social promotion of other bloggers, emails and much more. I hope nobody thinks I forgot about them or just don’t give a f*ck, because I do…it’s just going to be a bit longer.
I still haven’t even written my Yakezie member post, which I believe must be done before the end of the month.
My head has just been a mess from all the uncertainty of being approved by the USDA for the loan, when we would close, school stuff for our kiddo and much more. I can’t wait to just be in the house and get my head back to normal—at least normal for me, I’ve always been a horse of a different color. 😉
I hope you have a great weekend.
PS- I’m too tired to proofread this, so please excuse any errors or utter nonsense, I’ll fix it one day.
You sounds so busy! Reading this post makes me feel like I’m busy ha. Hope things slow down for you!

I hate being busy, some people thrive on it…but not me.

I think you can incorporate some of what you’re going through right now into your Yakezie post! Hope the rush subsides pretty soon.

Almost 2 months later, and things are still piling up. But that’s life…I guess. 😉

Yay, you have keys. Can’t wait to see pictures when you get everything in place. You will catch up and if you don’t it’s not the end of the world.

I can’t wait to throw some pictures up, hopefully soon. My camera battery is being the devil right now, so we’ll see.

I agree with Money Beagle–write about what you’re going through now! This epitomizes the life of a blogger. No breaks for you! Congrats on the new house, Jen! Getting a house ready for moving in is so much fun…and yet so much work!

I don’t deal well with change, so I just kinda disappeared instead. 😉 It’s a TON of work, I never would have believed it until I was doing it. Wow!

“We changed our locks and set off bug foggers just in case there were some creepy tenants living in our new house.” – change the toilet seats too.
You’re welcome!

Haha, the toilets looked brand-new like most things in the house. They were obviously used while the house was being “flipped” though. So we cleaned the crap (pun intended) out of them and sanitized like crazy.

Don’t let your blogging responsibilities add to your stress too much Jen. Know that we’re all very understanding and we all end up going through some period where we are just too busy to keep up with blogging. I had a bit of that yesterday when I was sick. I felt horrible for slacking off with stuff like comments, but I just really needed a break.

There’s so much more to blogging than most people initially expect, so it’s okay to slack off of some things every once in a while.
It’s been 2 months, so I really hope you’re feeling better by now. 😉

No worries Jen, I bet you’ll be even more tired after painting the house – I remember helping my brother paint his and it wasn’t a walk in the park if you know what I mean. Ugh.. paint everywhere! Pretty sure you’re going to be busy for quite some time now, at least a month
Just remember when you come back we’ll still be here, still visiting your blog and still commenting! <3

Thanks Veronica.
You weren’t kidding about the painting. OMG! It’s just pure evil and takes forever. Paint everywhere, even under my clothes…that was weird.

I feel your pain. Actually, I think our pain is a little more substantial because we are purchasing a co-op and they really are another beast all together. (I am getting stressed just thinking about it!) I am actually going to write a post about it, but probably so I can complain. And educate, of course!

Aww, I hope things are going better for you now.

Oh, the rush of having too much to do! Don’t worry – no one is judging you. The blog always comes second to real life. Just remember you can write about whatever it is you’re doing …

Aww YAY! Congrats on closing and getting everything the way you want it in your house. That’s awesome! I’m right there with you right now, too, since there’s been almost no time with the move back to Hawaii. Isn’t it funny how on paper it looks like you might be able to make time and you never find the time to make the time? Haha, well, good luck on the house!!

A move to Hawaii, okay I’m jealous now.
