Okay, okay. I know I'm really behind in doing a post with pictures to validate that our family really does have a life. But higher priorities are getting in the way of doing that.
We are moving this week. We have spent 12.5 months looking for houses and put offers on eight of them. Yes, eight. Our realtor Billie Stoddard has a joke and she says, "Well, if I ever have a house that's not getting any action, I'll have you guys go look at it, then I'll know I'll have at least 3 or 4 other offers that week!" Because really, every time we have looked at a house, all of a sudden three other families like it too.
But friends... the curse has been BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!
I'll post pics of it later. It's a nice 2900 sq/ft home on an acre of land. It has a garage. It has closets. It has more than 1 bathroom. And best of all, it doens't have downstairs tenants that every time they take a break from their video games seem to fight and throw out the F-dash-dash-dash word just as often as Brad's girlfriend from Home Improvement says "like."
Unfortunately, the stress of week 5 in school, hiring a nanny, and moving has gotten the better of me, and after a brief visit to the urgent care tonight to explain some painful symptoms, I ummm... apparently have ulcers. It's been THAT bad. So no more orange Mt. Dews for this girl for a while.
And if anyone has some helpful facts or tips regarding stress reduction, send them my way. :)
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for instant energy that does not include caffeinated beverages or excersize, please inform me asap.
