I am finally feeling better. I had to leave work on Thursday because whatever I had hit me like a ton of bricks. I spent all day Friday in bed minus the time it took to drop off T at school and pick him up. I tried to pawn J off on the sitter but she was sick too. I got lucky though and he slept for 2 hours with me in the morning. It could have been so much worse.

I did drag my butt out of bed on Saturday for 2 reasons. We had home inspection and I had a function at the hotel that I was coordinator for. I had to be there no way around it. The inspection went really well. There are some minor things, but what house is perfect? We need to put an electrical outlet in the bathroom since there isn't one. We also will be moving the dishwasher from the basement to the kitchen. Weird place to have a dishwasher but what can you do? We are now hammering out the purchase and sale contract. We should have that done some time tomorrow. Closing will be April 20th with a clause for them to extend it 30 days if need be. I need to kick the moving into high gear because before you know it Bam it is gonna be time. I am going to start this weekend with pictures and knick nacks, you know the dust collectors and work my way from there.

Jayden woke up about 3:30 this morning gagging and throwing up. Why do they always get sick in the middle of the night? He was whiny and clingy and unhappy most of the day. Poor thing couldn't keep a thing down. Then about an hour before I need to go to work he is able to keep water down. Daddy has him now and he is fine happy and giggling. Ate a whole bottle too with no throwing up in sight.

So much going on

I have so many thoughts swirling around in my brain right now that I thought a famous bullet post might be in order. Come on you know you love them.

Ok I think that is enough rambling for one day.

House

Well for those of you that don't read my sister's blog or are my friend on facebook I have some news. We put an offer on a house Saturday and they accepted. I am beyond excited and nervous as hell. It is a pretty cape with 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, finished basement and a den. It is move in ready and I am in love! Nice back yard for the kids and a quiet little side street.

I love my front walk



The Man room AKA my basement


My very blue bathroom, but hey it ain't pink!


This house was owned for 30 years by the same people. We actually met the man when we went to see the house. He was very sweet. You can tell the home has been well cared for and loved by them. I am excited to have a place to raise my boys. Now lets hope home inspection goes well. Closing will be some time in April or May. We told him we were flexible with that since he needs to find a place to live. Plus that way T can finish the school year here in Winthrop.

Good things and bad dreams

We went this afternoon and met with a Realtor. We liked him immediately and have decided he is the one who will help us find our first home. His name is Jonathan and his parents own the agency. So you know he was taught by the best. We are going to spend this week finding houses we would like to see and go look next weekend. I am so excited to finally really be starting this journey.


In the bad dream department I had a really bad one this morning. I dreamed that the boys were in the tub and for some reason I was in the other room. When I came back into the bathroom Jayden was floating in the water. I screamed and scooped him out, I was trying to give him CPR and call 911 all at the same time. It was so real and frightening, I woke up in a pool of sweat breathing heavy. I was crying too. I wonder what the hell it means? I never want to have another dream where one of my kids die, it was so real and so scary.
