O the pain, the horror!

       I feel her pain.

Ok, so its Fall Break at school. This means that we get yesterday (Thursday) and today off, no school till Monday. It should be a good thing, yes?! Oh and they make you think its going to be 4 days of relaxation, they lead you on and just before class lets out, BOOM, the hammer drops. "Uh, yes class and for the weekend I'd like you to do some exercises for me......have all of chapter 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 ready to turn in on Monday. Have a good holiday!" All of my instructors did just that. My Eng. Comp Prof decided it would be fun to write a classification research paper for the weekend.  I just finished 9 pages of Math and decided to take a break. I worked on that classification paper last night until 11. When I started falling asleep at the keyboard, I gave up. So today I'll be forcing myself to kick it up a notch and get everything done by Saturday, I need at least 1 day off. ( So I can catch up on housework, HA!)

Well thank goodness for Fall. My power bill has been cut in half since my AC isnt running as much.  We are still having some 80-90 degree days but mostly its down to the 70's. This morning was friggin chilly.

I'm starting to get nervous about selling the house next Spring.

I know the market isnt good right now but I have a friend that works in real estate in Prince George and she says I have nothing to worry about.  I want to get back all the money I put in to it, I wont be outrageous.  We'll probably put it up for sale next April.  I'm hopeful.

We've been scouting the areas we like.  It will not be as rural, HA! In fact, we'll be living in much the same kind of area as we were in Newport News.  Sydney needs friends and a neighborhood, she's dying out here in the boonies. She's very upset that we cant trick or treat this year. I just keep telling her, next year we will do all the stuff you cant do now. There are a few areas, just above Colonial Heights and just below Richmond, that we really like. The good thing is Joe will be closer to work and I will be closer to Richmond (VCU).  Its been a really stressful year, I cant wait to get back to civilization. Dont get me wrong, buying another house and the whole moving/changing schools/learning a new area shit will be even harder but we have to get out of here, we just arent country people.....well Joe says he is but he isnt the one that has to drive 30 minutes for a gallon of milk either. He hates this house with a passion (he cant tell you exactly why he hates it though) and blames me for us living here. Its a good thing I have thick skin or I might of taken that as an insult, HA!

These arent my neighbors. Mine have less teeth.

So, thats about it. Oh, its hunting season in case you didnt know. Bow hunting started a few weeks ago and shotgun season starts in a week or two. I just love waking up to gunfire, dont you?  And its so fun to dodge deer as they leap out in front of your car during the rutting season. I used to drive the backroads at night doing 50, until I almost plowed into a couple of deer mating in the road and almost wound up in the ditch. There are way too many animals around here, its creepy.

Ok, now I really do have to go. Goddamn paper to write. I'll check back soon! Tata!
