Catching up

Lots of things have happened lately. Since closing on our last house (in Lexington), we have been through the rollercoaster that is the current real estate market. We were told on Monday (last week) that we would not be able to close before Friday. Not pleasant, but worse because I had made arrangements with the movers to deliver everything on Wednesday. Fortunately, the previous owners all0wed us to have everything put in the garage. Yay.

Fast forward to Thursday. Oops, no there's one document we still need, and we can't reach the person we need to get it from. Can't close until next week. Bleah.

It's 11 am Friday. Can we close at 3? You bet your boots! If I have to stand on my head naked on Main St, I will be there at 3!

So, we are not homeless anymore.

I spent most of Saturday and Sunday painting with Chris' mom. Chris is no longer ever allowed to be in the same room with paint (another long, sad story). His mom kept Isaac Monday afternoon so I could try and finish. I didn't quite get done, I still need to paint Isaac's room, and the spare bedroom. I'm hoping to finish all of the painting this afternoon after Chris' mom gets home and can keep Isaac.

We have had very little sleep the last few days. Isaac has decided to try and cut three teeth at once. He is such an overachiever. He seems to have the most trouble with his top teeth, and one is finally through, the other top one is pushing through, and his lower gum is swollen on one side. Long live Baby Motrin, aka Mommy's juice box.

Well, I'm going to get cleaned up so that I can get Isaac his snack and go to the grocery when he wakes up. It's time to start restocking the pantry...for the new house!

BTW, Isaac was definitely not switched at birth. He makes the same face his daddy does when he is concentrating, and he likes black olives!

Homelessness

I think we are officially homeless now. We have sold our house in Lexington, and have yet to settled closing on a new house. I believe that leaves us in the classic definition of homelessness. Let's hear it for the in-laws whom without we would have cold, wet, feet and cold, wet heads.

The Roaming Gnome

Well, Isaac and I are back in Lexington tomorrow; Chris will be joining us in the evening. If you are in the vicinity and wish to help us pack (or play with Isaac so we can do the boring packing), call me on Chris' cell phone (which is mine temporarily).

The snow is gone and it is supposed to be warm this week.

I am going back to the giggle-box!

Snow Day

There are not too many things prettier than waking up to 8 inches of snow on the ground, and no where you have to go. And then sunshine all day! Of course, ambushing your husband with snowballs is lots of fun too...especially when he has no idea that they are coming.

Isaac's eyes got so big looking at the snow. His mouth made the little Shirley Temple "OH!" I think he would have gone out to play in it if he were a little bit bigger.

The streets are drying out but are still slippery. I think they are going to cancel early church tomorrow, and just have Sunday School and late church. But I will get Cracker Barrel, so that is good too.

Going to go look at the snow again...
