A Blur

This week was a complete blur.  Wednesday was just as crazy as Monday and Tuesday put together.  I wanted to go to Sam's Club to stock up on a few things.  I LOVE that store!  After shopping I had planned on vacuum sealing all of the items that I picked up and just relaxing.  That was most definitely not the case.  I got a phone call from my sister in the middle of vacuum sealing the chicken breasts.  I had to get online and retrieve some documents that had to be filled out, signed, notarized, scanned, emailed AND overnighted all on Wednesday.  I had a window of time to get it all done because the legal office on base closes at 4:30 and Christian has to be at Sylvan at 4:30.  That meant that I had to get the papers notarized while Christian was at school and be back in time to pick him up at 3 pm.  I didn't eat anything (and I mean NOTHING) until 2 o'clock.  Not good.  I counted.  I got Ayden and Mason in and out of the car 16 times!!!!  

By the way, the documents were regarding the sale of my moms house.  We close on Tuesday!  Its very exciting because the house sold so fast.  I think that says so much for the work that my dad and Uncle did to it.  Part of my sister and I are sad.  Mom didn't want to leave her house and she lived her entire adult life there.  Kara and I have some really wonderful memories there along with many years of horrible ones.  I am choosing to think of the fond memories for now.  I hope that mom is proud of what we have done.  Its time to close a chapter.

This weekend is going to be all work.  My sister and her boyfriend Julio are coming to visit next week.  The boys and I are very excited.  They will be here for Spring Break.  I have lots to do to get ready for our guests.  My sister is going to teach me how to make homemade tamales.  I have wanted to learn for many years but have always been too afraid to try.  I ordered a tamale steamer and it will be here next week.  I am so excited!  I can't wait to make them!  Anyone have any tips?
