Rambling

No balance in my life these days. I have not posted in forever. Of course since I use my other blog as a journal for the kids I will have to go back and catch up which seems really overwhelming so I put it off.

I keep thinking that I should have everything done in the house by now but I do not. It was much harder to move to a new state then down the street. Last time we moved I was pregnant with Ainsley. There were no kids to worry about. We did not try to take on painting the whole house when we moved in. I also did not have to find all new things including doctors. That part is no fun. I have luckily found doctors that I think are good so far. We have decided to go to the hospital for our doctors. I have never done that before but it is nice if you have to have any tests they are right there. Boulder is pretty small so I think most people go to the hospital. Anyway back to the painting it is not done. I wanted it to all be done before the furniture was moved in but as always we do it our self so because David is always busy at work it did not get down. So we are trying to paint around the furniture. There is also a ton of trim to do and that is no fun. The walls in some rooms go up really high to so it is a two person job in those areas.

Someday it will be done. Someday my office will be nice and clean too, hopefully. Everything seemed to get stacked in here in order to clean the rest of the house. This is probably part of the reason I have not posted because it is really hard to get to my computer and not fun for sitting at it for a while trying to post.

Enough rambling and hopefully I will continue to get back to something beside cleaning all the time. That seems to be my life for the last year.

I have to say it is a different lifestyle here. My car is always dirty because we live on a dirt road. No use cleaning it either because it will just be dirty two days later. The good thing is usually the speed cameras and toll roads cannot charge you because they cannot read the license plate. I know that is terrible but not much I can do unless I choose to clean my car every time I go to Boulder. Everything seems a little more laid back here. I though Arizona was kind of laid back but it is more so here. Also I must park at the end of the driveway when it snows.

One last thing on my random rambling rant, now that I have got back into it maybe my future post will be better. David and I went to go look at cars this weekend. We are not buying right now but we will. We went to Subaru. Never would have thought of one before but that is what everyone drives here and there is a good reason. They are all wheel drive. They also have an option where you can have it be manual or automatic. Great feature in the mountains. We were not sure what we wanted and don't know a lot about Subaru so we wanted someone to tell us about them. Give us the difference between the car. The guy we got said well it is just preference and really they just look different on the outside. You are kidding me right. He was the worst sales man ever. We decided to test drive one and he let us go by our self. This is probably the only time that we have wanted someone to come with us to tell us more about the car. When we got back he was not there, we waited 10 minutes and left. I said when we buy we need to have someone else help us and then do the whole Julia Roberts thing and tell him what a big mistake he make not helping us. I know people don't want to help you if you are not set to buy that day but we will buy and we will not buy from him. Maybe he was just being laid back and trying not to pressure but I really wanted to know key differences in the cars. I find it hard to believe that just the body style is different. I did finally get a few things out of him but nothing great. Maybe they don't care here because everyone buys a Subaru so maybe they are not hurting. Sadly enough it is just another comment on how customer service has gone way down hill over the years. In some ways I don't blame people. Companies are not loyal to their employees and overwork them and employees are not loyal to employers. There is no pride in work anymore for many reasons and it is really sad I think. It is hard though to have pride in your work when you are being overworked and looked over.

It is a sad time all over for many reasons and I have no idea what the fix is or if there is one.
It seems people have become more judgemental and divided then ever before. I know I have learned a lot this year and I am trying harder then I ever have before not to judge people unless I have been in there shoes. You never know how you will act in certain situations until you are there. You can only say what you hope you would do.
