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.

Goodness! Your life just gets busier and busier! Congratulations on the house! That is wonderful. Hopefully after the move, things will go back to only being really stressful instead of crazy insane stressful.
I don't have any great tips for stress reduction. Usually, when I get to that over stressed point I just curl up in a ball for a few hours. =) Good luck with everything! Can't wait to see pictures of the new place!
Yay! I feel so bad we didnt help with the move! Maybe we will try to stop by on Saturday if you need help with unpacking. As far as extra energy goes, best of luck. You must have a ton more energy than I do to get half of those things done! Congrats again! We cant wait to see the house!
