Well more like we are creating Vaughn Castle. I know no one reads this blog as it is private but I just read an old post and i really am proud of myself. I had started gardening and growing food and actually had some good harvests. Now that we moved to a larger house, I hope that come this january I will have time to plant some new plants and get the new garden growing. Not sure where I am going to plant it. Although I do believe my first project will be to grow my fairy gardens in the from of the castle.
So back in March, two months before the baby is due, we decide we need a bigger home for all three kids. It took some time for Brian to get his head wrapped around the idea. The second thing it took was that we needed to sell his home in order to hind a home in an area that we would feel comfortable. We wanted to move back to upland. We found a lovely place just off of baseline or 16th street and mountain. Just 5 minutes from my parents home, which is good when I need their help to watch the children. I can just drop them off or they can come over and watch them. Mostly i drop then off. The house right now is all white inside but Brian and I had the same idea of painting it like a castle. On break I am going to paint the boys room.. but I might have time to get the dining room done as well... with a tree background. I was going to go very detailed.. but I think a simple sillouette would be good of trees and I can place the family tree picture frames on top. I need to make my boys Rocket and robots theme for their room. They like rockets right now. I have an idea I just have to find the pieces... recycled wood pieces to build it. and then hang it. Not sure if I want to paint heir room all one color or not. I have been looking at Penelopes room and I think I am going to paint the rest a light blue. and then draw some more animals on top or something. I know nothing is permanent so i just have to do it. They are growing so fast. Penelope is already 6 months. almost 7 months. 7 Months is how long we have been in the house. We literally signed the papers the night before I went in for a c-section. amazing! It kind of all worked out.. we sold our house and was able to buy this home. Yes we have 30 years of paying on this house, but it is a nice house we can grow into. I have my craft room and Brian has his man shop. AS we go along we will fix things.. perhaps have an upstairs laundry room, upgrade the bathroom to be more useful, add a downstairs showers.. etc.. we will build this castle.. oh i am excited but right now my head hurts.. not sure why- i think cuz it is cold outside and the temprateute change is causing my head to contract and expand.. at alarming rates... I think i need hot chocolate.. should have gotten one while I was near starbucks. Tomorrow I have an interview. I have had 3 interviews no 4 interviews over the past three months... nothing has panned out yet.. the last one was for a job right here in my college, but it seems that even with knowing somebody, the dean even, they do no t believe I am the right person for the job. I have no idea what to think of tomorrows interview. I am surprised about even getting the interview as sometimes those are hard to get... so it seems that perhaps i have gone in too over confident in the interviews.. i need to be more hubmle.. i am not sure. My resume is getting me into some.. that is good, now how do i land the job? I like my job well enough to be stuck here, but i need to be able to move up, or to have more time off with my children, but not lose the pay.... as we need to pay for the house and for things for our children. We are not rich but we are doing just fine. My sister is having a baby and I would like to have the summer off so that my mom could go and help her with her baby and that we can all get together and spend time all together with all the children. It is just her and I left. Magaly is done have ing children, even though they officially haven't decided yet and My brother will have no more children. i do hope he gets out before the 14 years. that is such a long time.... it will be 5 years this march. why he made such horrible mistakes I don't know why? i want to talk to him about it but we cannot talk over the phone about it and many times i think he would be in denial of what he has done... that it was all a mistake. it is funny though that he is most successful in such a place.. not distractions to think of, unfortunately his children miss out on everything.. i hope that his children will forgive him one day. but the time he gets out.. 9 more years.. Andrew will be 21, probaly in the military.. although I am not sure he has the discipline yet.. but far away from home.. hopefully he will be safe.. Angelina will be 17.. graduating high school and hopefully going to College of some sort. she is smart, but i believe her mother has corrupted her to be just a pretty girl. i didn't realize i had all this stuff on my mind.. my mind i know has been full with just my children. I love all my children. Penelope woke up on my bed and i think she likes it when she realize that she was sleeping next to mommy.
i had a beard as someone came in and now there are three in my office .. and i went out to see what else is going one around here. Mark is bored.. the new guy, as hector is off this week. so much.. i think i twill try to write some more later on..probably tomorrow to after the interview.. i need to bake some persimmon bars tonight too.. for a chistrams party tomorrow. oh so busy.. but yet nice.. not overwhelming busy... just putting along... i am taking the best in february... still contemplating on applying to the master program.. but maybe just so .. then i can maybe teach at a JC... but if i leave here then i wont get it paid for... so many different options.. like i have too many options.. i used not have so many options and maybe things were easier back then with less options...
ok got to go. now.
