Thursday, back and a new grandma!

    
     Okay so here is the cutest baby in the world if I do say so myself.  Let me introduce you to Oliver. He was born Friday July 31st late in the evening after a long and very difficult labor.  He weighed 7.1 and was 19.5 inches long.  Boy do we love him.  Daughter is doing great by my standards.  I went up to her place Monday when she was released and stayed for a couple of days.  I would have stayed longer but she has things under control and her husband has a month off work.  I did do up 6 freezer meals that will feed them for a couple days each, so essentially 12 meals, lasagna, stuffed shells, tater tot casserole. B's husband cleaned and did the laundry and waited on my daugher hand and foot.  He is a great husband.  All my girls have great husbands. I am so blessed.

     SO much has happened that I don't even know where to begin.  The move was fraught with things going wrong, but we persevered.  It has been a crazy 10 days with so much happening and so much work.  We were all set to move as you may recall on Tuesday the 28th when we were closing in the house at 10 in the morning.  But we got pushed to move earlier by people I will call the Snots you will understand the name after the explanation.

     The Snots purchased the home of the Ferguson's sight unseen through a lawyer from New York.  The Snots own businesses all over the country.  This is to be their third home, a get away in Idaho.  So even though we were not scheduled to move until August 15th the Snots put pressure on the Ferguson's to get out.  Ferguson's contacted us and we agreed to July 28th although the Snots wanted July 14th.  But we had the power so the 28th it was.  Now Lawyer from New York sends a nasty gram letter to Ferguson's demanding that they are out by 2:00 om the afternoon on the 28th.  This involved us pushing up our move and pushing the CAYS (people we were buying our house from) out into a motor home as they were waiting for our money to remodel a home on the river.

     Mrs. Cay (who is working from home via internet) had to get things set up for her office in a motor home.  They were gracious enough to allow us to start moving in early.  Read the last post.  Monday morning we were expecting 6 missionaries, who never showed.  They had a conflict.  So it was Hub's, myself a couple of teenagers the church had sent and two more men with trucks and a flatbed trailer.  We worked those two teenage boys to death.  They were with us from 9 until noon.  One of our trucks and helpers was also out at noon.  That left Lil is and I and hub's and one other man.  I put over 30 thousand steps on my fit bit or over 12 miles on Monday.  I blistered the bottom of my feet.     Hubs had a break down about 3 in the afternoon.  It was also 107 out. I called our Bishop and he was upset that the missionaries did not show, but told me to make Hubs stop and he had a crew of 10 men at our place by 6:30 that night and we finished.  We had a bed to sleep in and we were exhausted beyond beyond.

     Now we slept hard and were ready to close at ten the next morning.  Snots had already closed at 10 the day before and Ferguson's at 2 the day before.  Cays were closing at 2 right after us.  The employee from the title company asked if I had switched the home owners insurance and of course I hadn't because everything was so rushed.  She told me to go right to the insurance office and get that done, so I did.  About 4 in the afternoon I get a text from my realtor, not to drop insurance on house as the Snot's money had been pulled by lawyer and he wanted them to pay for house a different way.  So that put all of us in houses that we did not own.  Also my house had no insurance.  I went to my house and told Mrs. Ferguson not to light any fires as the house would not have insurance reinstalled until the next day.  In the mean time all of us are in limbo and the Snot's want to move into the Ferguson home and get remodeling started.  The Ferguson's said NO!  We are all still waiting and it looks like they will have their act together by the 10th of this month.  I was proud of the Fergusons.  Who puts that kind of pressure on three different sets of strangers and then pulls funding?

     We are fine as we paid cash for our house including the sale of the old property( which hold it, really isn't sold), but the Ferguson's and Cays are waiting for funds to build fences, and remodel places.  All that is on hold until cash is in hand.  We also all discussed a law suit to force Snot's to pay for any expenses we incur do to their ineptitude.  Hubs and I have not been affected other than having to work way to dang hard.  But the other two families are really affected.

     Well enough drama for one day.  I will post more about this adventure tomorrow.  I will leave you with a picture of the Schmills to brighten your day. Schmills always goes boating with his snow boots on as they match his shades.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

  3. Why am I not surprised by the missionaries? I hope the people in your town know how truly the Snots are snots. What was that about your husband and 107?

    2. Well there was a miss communication between people, but they cam later in the week and helped so much. Yes moving in the hot heat was not good for Hubs.

  4. That is the cutest baby :) Congrats to your family. The whole juggling the closing/moving thing has always infuriated me. It's impossible! there has to be a better solution rather than inconveniencing everyone down the line.

    I'm so unimpressed with the snots. Who would inconvenience everyone else in that way? Terrible.

    1. Thanks Kathy. It takes all kinds in this world so we can appreciate the good I guess.

  12. Glad baby and Mommy are doing well. I would definitely talk to lawyer about lawsuit just to point out the issue. They should fire the lawyer if he was the one to actually change how the house would be paid for. I said something to our realtor about it and she said here the closing isn't until the money has transferred and that you can't move in until the money is transferred even if that is before closing. They had to change the laws due to those from out of state moving in house and then having to be evicted because the money never came through... that would be a nightmare.

    Take a break.... you need it or you will get sick

  13. I know we all had to sign papers giving each other permission to live in each others houses. This could turn into a real nightmare.

  14. Good grief!!!
    Being born and raised on the east coast in NJ all I had to read was , "money and NY lawyer".. Talk about entitlement! .... I would sue them for the pain and suffering caused to you and your husband!... That just burns my butt...On a better note, congratulations! Oliver is beautiful!! and I am SO happy to read mom is doing well.. XO

  16. My health was horrible before I decided to try the Protocol Of taking Dr. Omola pure herbal mixture. I felt there was no hope for my health and I was to try the Protocol, thinking it wouldn’t work because I have visited so many hospital but same result. However, I was convinced by a Instagram friend to try the herbal medicine because I wanted to get rid of Herpes virus. The herbal mixture that was given to me was really quick and easy to take, within 2 week I was fully cured from Herpes. The herbal medicine really work and I will like to share this great doctor contact with you all email him dr.omolaherbalhome@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2348118116254 you won't regret it, I promise.

  17. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
