What’s up with the MTV AM block playing old school music? I really don’t care about Blondie’s Call Me video from 1980.I woke up this morning to Will Smith sporting a hideous hair cut and a Speed Racer t-shirt. Ew. And Kelly Clarkson’s “I Do Not Hook Up” video is stupid… Really.
Boys are up but they’re still in bed. They’re both in toddler beds now. I thought the transition would be difficult for Bug but it really isn’t. Thank God. JBoy was about 15 months old when he transitioned to his toddler bed. That was most because Bug was born and I didn’t want to buy another crib. I take that back. He may have been almost two because we were in FL when Bug was 3 months old and he was still small enough for the bassinet. We came back in Nov, and that’s when his bed was set up. So JBoy was 20 months. OK that’s not so bad. Bug’s been in his toddler bed for about a week now, so he was 23 1/2 months old. I guess it’s because JBoy is so much bigger that it seems longer.
So I’m excited about the Creed Tour coming to STL this time around. I went in 2002 and it was awesome. I can’t believe it’s been 7 years. WOW. That seemed like just yesterday. I’m trying into talking Steve into getting me tickets. I prefer Lawn seats because you don’t have to argue with people about your seats.
SO. Catch up time. (The kids went back to sleep, surprising since JBoy has been asleep since about 6:15 pm yesterday-so he’s been asleep for about 12 hrs. Bug went to bed around 10:15/:30 and has been asleep for only 7 1/2 hours. I’ve been up since 4:30 but feel like shit so I’ve been in bed.)
I never knew how exhausting looking at houses would be! Yes, that’s right, we’re BUYING! Talk about excited. We put in an offer for a house that we fell in love with. We know there was an offer for 26,000 but that’s below asking and we offered a couple thousand over the asking price. I’m hoping that we get it. We should know no later than Wednesday and we requested a reply by 5 pm tonight. There’s no counter offering so it’s basically highest bid gets the house. It’s going for half its worth so we’re hoping, probably a bit too much.
We have a “back up” house. It’s another foreclosure that has been on the market for over 250 days. We are going to get an inspection on it if this house doesn’t go through. It needs SOME work, but not much. It does need air and furnace though. That, and a roof. But Steve does roofs everyday so that’s no big deal at all. It’s a 12/12 though which stinks. The good news is that the roof is in great shape except for the shingles. Steve got up and was walking all over it. The layout is a little funky. We also looked for a house in Ballwin but it needed to be gutted. Whoever owned it last tried remodeling and did a very bad job.
So, pray for us and hope we get the 4bd awesome house we reallllllllly want.
I’m going to lay down some more while the freebies are uploading.
