Our So-Called Life.

Finally, after much anticipation and harassing of everyone involved our loan on our house is closed! But, of course now we are unable to close on our new home because of Hurricane Issac who so rudely decided to intrude. We have been living with my parents since Friday(Oh Joy!) and will be here for sure till the weekend. There is truly No place like Home! Hurricane is expected to hit late tonight into the morning. We are currently feeling those outer bands now. I know most people think there is nothing south of New Orleans, but there really is. We are about 50 miles South of New Orleans. You can check out just where we are...  Here is the Radar Map Thankfully, we have a generator to at least power an AC unit for when the power goes out. I hope my little Cade man and Carter handle the heat OK. They BOTH have temperature regulation issues. Other than that, no issues at hand. We are stocked up and ready to ride it out. I am hoping he doesn't just sit and stall...Please pr...

Yeah, so that previous post about Carter starting at a later date at an out of district school...scratch that. I called the director for our Pre-K program here in Terrebonne Parish and she pretty much stated that all schools are full and there was no room. Great! Telling the truth and being honest always backfires! Let me backtrack some here...Way back before we decided to sell our house I registered Carter for Pre-K at the school in our district now. Then when we knew  for sure we were moving, I contacted the necessary people and they said the school he would be going to once we moved had a waiting list, BUT he could go to another school nearby. They would have to wait till school started to see the numbers. Well, school started yesterday for them so I called to see how things were going and that we were still waiting to see where Carter could go...then the ball dropped. Hmm, OK there goes that!  I took it a step further and spoke to the Assistant Super Intendent who said...

Today is the day Carter should have started Pre-K. With our move and being in between school districts it is affecting where he will go. Since where we are moving to has a waiting list and Pre-K isn't mandatory then they have to wait till school starts so they can look at other schools in the area and place him somewhere. Not fun. I saw all the sweet posts about our friends' kids starting today and was happy that I get another week with my Carter man. They just grow up so fast and as much as I NEED a break, I will miss him. He can't wait though. I know he will do great wherever he may go. Oh, and Cade will be starting school too! He will be going to a preschool where Carter went last year. They know his situation and know our family..I totally know he will do well there. I trust them with everything, but still feel so nervous. It is only 1 day/week for 1/2 a day. I can handle it. Here is Cade's take on starting school.... Watch here!

I think it is safe to say it is official, we are moving. We have been under contract for 2 1/2 months now and finally have a SOLD sign. This buying and selling process has been anything BUT easy. Totally sucked...from start to finish..well not that we are finished just yet but you get my drift.  The house that we are buying has a close date of August 21st. Here we are the 15th and I have yet to get a close date on our home we are selling, my house is a complete disaster, my family is living out of boxes, and everything else we own is in storage...I could bitch some more if I really wanted to. We had the re-inspection of our home we are selling yesterday. We won't even go there! Lets just say I just got done writing my complaint letter and I am so over it I can't even explain one more time the situation or I will just freak. I am done and it really pisses me off that much more when I think about that Jerk of an inspector! So, yeah.  By this time next wee...
