The Wank Family: The Past Month

Again, sorry for the long delay in posting, but things have been super busy in our house. Shortly after Curran's b-day, Steve dropped the bomb on me that he wanted to move to the east side. Any Clevelander who reads this understands the gravity of such a statement. NO ONE switches sides. You are one, or the other. So as things usually work in our house things go from zero to sixty very fast. We busted ass for about a week in a half to get all the unfinished projects done in the house.

So the house has been on the market for about a week. We haven't even started looking for another house, as we don't want to caught in the death trap of having 2 mortgages. But trust me, the entire process is very annoying. We moved a lot of stuff out of the house into the garage, and hell if I can find anything. Curran put almost an entire roll of toilet paper down the toilet last week and I of course couldn't find the GD plunger because I don't know where anything is in the house. I literally threw, packed everything unnecessary away. I call it the Great Purge of 2009. Although I love it here and have no desire to move, I just want this whole thing over with. I don't like living in limbo.

This weekend Steve and I were in NY for the 25th anniversary of the Rock and Roll HOF concert at Madison Square Garden. It was super fun and I paid for it the next day. I felt fine in the morning, slight headache, nothing major. I also felt fine on the flight home. Steve was convinced that he could find 480 from Cuyahoga County Airport and we went on a goat rodeo tour of the East side. We never found 480 and the local roads did not agree with me. I ended up barfing all over the the side of 150th. Not pretty. It was right by a church where the congregation was pulling in for a service. I think Steve was more embarrassed than I was. This has only happened once before to me, after a long night in C-bus followed by a morning ride home to C-town. Colleen will know what I am talking about.

Here are the pics from Halloween. I am the most deadbeat mother when it comes to Halloween. This was B's 4th Halloween. His first and his fourth Halloween were costumes that my friend Dawn handed down to me. His second and third, I dressed him in the same outfit both years. I go for the easiest costumes possible. Curran's costume was a b-day present from Aunt Sue. Please Note, Brayden is on another photo strike. Enjoy!!

Curran is WAY into her Daddy these days. I go into her room to get her in the morning and when she realizes it's me and not Steve she says - "Go Mommy, Go" and points to the door. Nice.
