As I sit here...

I really want to blog. The problem is that I don't have anything to blog about. There is nothing new in the news, nothing new in the house building, and we still live in a condo. Now I don't know how many of you have had the opportunity to live with 5 people in a 800sqft to 900sqft condo. Well it isn't pretty. You would think I might be use to it because when I was growing up it was common for people to have a 1000sqft house with 8-10 people. In my childhood there were the 8 of us living in a 3 bedroom house with only one bathroom.
Obviously, I survived the living arrangements from when I was a kid, but I do have the battle wounds from the conflicts with my brothers and sisters. There was no way to have any alone time at my childhood house unless you went outside. Luckily what we lacked in space in the house, it was made up by the room to run around outside. But while in the house, it was only a matter of minutes before you were being annoyed by a brother or sister or you were annoying a brother or sister as your form of entertainment. I can't count the number of battles I have had with my siblings over the years while I was younger. Luckily for each of our sakes we all moved out and away from each other. My experience of living to closely with everyone has manifested itself again in the condo. The only real difference is that we have 2 bathrooms, but when you live with as many girls as I do, that is barely enough. So I am looking forward to moving into the new house so we all can have some breathing room and a backyard to hang out in. We just need to figure out a way to prevent us from getting the West Nile virus from all the mosquitoes which seem to infest the area.

* Oh by the way, if you actually read that whole blog, you really must find something better to do with your free time. :)
