God Please Give Me Patience

Patience is not something I have a lot of. Okay, who am I kidding. I don't think I have any patience. I know I have touched on this here and there on my blog. It's also something about me that everyone knows without me even saying it. This wait on if we're going to be able to move or not is killing me. I can't stand not knowing. It's frustrating. I keep saying that God's hand is in this and I still firmly believe it is and this might be his way of teaching me patience.

My dad saw Mr. Belcher yesterday and relayed to him how appreciative I am for what he has done so far for us. Still we receive nothing but positive words from him. I really felt the need to express my gratitude to him for what he has done thus far. I felt compelled to and did send him an email thanking him. I told him even if this doesn't pan out he has done more than anyone should have ever done for us. I got a very nice response back from him.

Dad had a really good point in all of this too. He said that if it wasn't for Lee and how he has impressed them thus far not only with his resume (which I have to say was spectacularly written) but his personality with Mr. Carr over the phone. Lee is amazing with people and knows how to win them over. It's not to say that he just knows how to win them over but he follows through with it. I am so proud of him and his accomplishments.

I am giddy with excitment though. I really feel like this is going to happen. I know I shouldn't get excited but it's hard not too. Especially since there is an official opening at a club. Part of me thinks that if I get too excited that it won't come through. I use to think this when I was younger that if I got to excited about a trip to Six Flags with the church group or something similar that if I got too excited before hand that it would fall through. I know it has nothing to do with the final outcome. I just don't want to be utter disappointed if it doesn't pan out.

Okay, enough of my rambling.

Lee was off work yesterday and he stayed with Lee while I left for my OB appt. While I was on my way there they called to reschedule it. Thank goodness I wasn't too far from home or I would've been really mad! But I came home and then just ended up leaving again. I went to Target to look around and only ended up buying the mailing supplies for the items I'm selling on eBay.

We are in desperate need of money right now and I have a ton of stuff to sell on eBay. New stuff. Tons of Jackson and Mackenzie's old clothes that are in great condition. I've got 86 auctions listed right now. So far 35 or 36 of them will definitely sell. I already did a Buy it Now for one girl. My house is filled with items from my bargain shopping days. It's amazing how many items I literally got for free or .50 or so that are worth up to $10.

I have started cleaning out certain storage areas and have a box for things to sell on eBay and things for my yard sale. We had a yard sale last year and I made quite a bit of money. I think it was close to $400. This year I have even more stuff plus our old couches and some older pieces of furniture that we were given over time from people that has been sitting in our garage. Even if we don't move to B'ham I need to get rid of so much stuff.

One thing that will be a pain to move are the packages upon packages of diapers that I have. They will fill up at least 10 large moving boxes. Plus my diaper wipes will fill up 4 or so. It's been so nice not having to buy shampoo, razors, deoterant, lotion, face wash, body wash, makeup, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc. for more than 18 months. I have it all here. We never run out. I finally ran out of detergent about 4 months back and that was sooooo sad. But alas I will get over it.

Wow I am very chatty this morning. I'm talking about everything and nothing. Ohhh... I started talking about what I did yesterday. But I got sidetracked about ebay and things in m house.

Anyway we ended up going to eat at The Crap Trap last night. It's a fun place on the beach that has the windows open throughout. It's like you're eating outside. It's also a great place to go because we eat for free. Gotta love free food! Jackson was super excited becase this is where he and Lee share the 3lb crab dinner. Yes, they share a $60 plate of crab. I can't believe how much he loves crab. He also likes it because you get a shovel and pail with your meal. He gets one even though he shares with Lee.

Down on the beach bar/snow cone area Lee saw Mike a manager he works with. After we ate we went down there and the kids sat eating blue snow cones while Lee and Mike and Mike's landlord/friend talked. His landlord is an older guy from Germany. Heavy, I mean heavy thick accent. Almost impossible to understand. He was asking me about the baby and I didn't understand half of what he said. So I just smiled and nodded my head. By the time we left our kids had blue mouths and lips.

We just went home after that as I was really tried and full. I think tonight we are going to Baytowne at Sandestin. Yet another place we eat for free and we love the band that plays outside. It's a guitar player, violin player and drummer. They play some really great songs. Most of them are older/oldies. Jackson loves sitting on the grass and "dancing". It's not really dancing but he think it is. He and Mackenzie chase each other and it's just nice.

Okay, I'm shutting up for now.
