I'm full of grump this morning:
1. MH was home for 6 days and for 6 days Charlie woke up as close to 7 as possible, now that he's back to work, Charlie's up at 5:15 each morning. I would love to wake up before him to have just have a couple of minutes of time to myself, but I'm worried that If I start setting my alarm for 5, he'll wake up even earlier!!
2. In-house news, I am entirely freaking out. There is such little inventory, and I'm so afraid we might have to settle for something that I don't like. I texted my lawyer last night asking what would happen if we wanted to get out of our contract and he told me to have a glass of wine and go to bed. My real estate agent said that on March 1 we should see a lot more on the market. I want to believe her.
3. I was a terrible parent yesterday and basically let my kids watch too much TV and eat unhealthy snacks because I was glued to my phone searching for a house. I'm not letting myself do that today. I'll check the MLS this morning, and I won't check again until they're in bed tonight.

guster, I'm sorry for the rough time. Why do kids always seem to know when you're alone? That's when they decide to get up extra early and skip naps! House stuff is so stressful too. I hope you find the perfect house! These things have a way of working out it seems.

Happy Thursday. My ears are still plugged up and it's driving me nuts because everything is muffled and foggy and it's making me slightly queasy. Other than that, same old here! I forgot my workout clothes at home and can't go get them after work because FIL is home with the kids and I have a Dr appointment, so I don't want the kids to see me go home and then leave again. I guess I'll just have to take myself out for frozen yogurt before my appointment... obviously.

Morning! Z also got up around 5 this morning. But i have no business complaining because at least she sttn which is not her norm.
O is feeling better. He ate a ton at dinner last night. I think his puking incident may have been a combination of eating crap while he was at the zoo with MH the day before coupled with the fact that i gave him his amoxicillin right before he went to bed. I usually give it earlier but had forgotten.
Also Guster would you consider renting until you find the right house?

I hope you find the perfect house! These things have a way of working out it seems. I really want to believe that there's hope in all of this, but right now I just feel so desolate. I'm also struggling with the control issue of working with a real estate agent. I don't feel like they're "fast" enough and I don't like not being in control of the situation. I can find a house to look at; I can go through the pictures, the floor plan, look st the street, price history, and run the numbers to make sure the mortgage fits our needs, but then I have to leave the scheduling up to somebody else and that waiting makes me crazy because that's the action part and I am at the mercy of someone else for it. I know that's part of the reason we lost the other house. The other offer might've come in anyway, but they knew I was interested in that listing 10 days prior to this past weekend. I'm really sour about it

I refuse to settle for a house that we are supposed to be for the long run. I have a file of those houses I'm keeping in the back of my mind.

guster buying/building is so stressful. It's such a big purchase and not fast to get out from under if you make the wrong choice. I went through every single floor plan a thousand times before deciding. And I'm still reading and picking apart our plans now that we have them! You'll find the perfect house, I know it.

csho omg... that made me cringe! Poor kiddo!! guster I 100% know what you’re feeling like. Our stories are super similar... the house we decided we loved had been on the market about a year and a half, with no movement. The day we put in an offer someone else did too and we lost it. I was devastated. Then that offer fell through and our bid was accepted, but it was on a contingency of selling our house. We accepted an investor offer, then they pulled out last minute. I spent so much tome crying and stressing, and yes, worrying we were going to settle on something we didn’t love. Take a deep breath, I promise it’ll work out. You won’t settle because if there’s anytime to be picky it’s buying your home. If you have a o rent for a bit, it’ll be a pain but it’s an option. And on the bright side you’re so lucky with how great the sale of your house went. Sending you hugs and wine!!

Morning! I’m sitting in the bathroom with a steamy shower going because C woke up congested this morning. I think it’s just the sudden change in weather so I’m not overly worried. Can I use saline drops this young??
Not much today. Dh and me are going to the wine store to stock up for my bday this weekend, and then I’m getting my hair done!

guster, I hope the realtor is correct and something perfect hits the market next month. Is new construction an option? That’s what was happening to us.... just couldn’t find anything and so tired of searching. Our realtor showed us a new community w kits for sale. The rest is history Feel better soon chrisy01! Poor V csho! Sound painful and gross. How is he doing after that?

AFM, I’m in 401k hell. Just trying to make a bunch of plan corrections before our Plan Year audit is in full swing. (Backstory is that my predecessor wasn’t very good at her job, hence she was released from employment, but as such the 401k is in shambles from her time here).
I’m treating myself to a pedi later this afternoon!

guster have you considered a new agent? My sister is working with one now (same one we and our extended family have all used) and she is SO proactive...and my sister and BIL won’t even be down in FL to look at homes til late March. I can’t imagine her screwing around for a week if we had wanted to see a house. With that said, it’s still very early in the real estate season so I do agree with predictions that more inventory will be going live in the next few weeks. I know y’all are in a time crunch but hang in there

X was up at 5. He woke Dude, too, but I told him it was still MOTN and he had to go back to sleep. I hope he was able to.
Pete is driving me crazy. He forgets what it's like to have a toddler, I think. X is really a super easy baby. He has brief tantrums and is distracted pretty quickly, but Pete gets exasperated in no time.
We have to take both boys to the lab for a blood draw today and I'm pretty nervous about it. I have no idea how they're going to sit still and I hope they don't need 14 vials like they took from me.

cagoldi, is there a way to separate them while getting it done? I feel like if Cadence saw someone else, let alone a sibling, get blood drawn that she would refuse to participate when it was her turn.

Cadence's hightops came in yesterday. She is absolutely in love with them. I told mh this morning I would take the tags off and he was all "let's just put them away and maybe she can wear them tomorrow". Wut? I told him no, she can wear them today, it's not like he has to tie them, they zip. He was being really weird about it. I took the tags off and left them where she would see them so she would ask for them. I'm going to guess when I get home they are hidden away in their box.
She also peed herself during nap, which she hasn't done since she was like 2 and spit at her friend....again. This is the second day this week. Monday she did it because she wanted to play with a girl in her class and he wanted to play with the little girl too, but not the same game, so she spit at him. Yesterday it was because he didn't want to play family with her he wanted to play something else. I'm going to guess it was pirates because now she is walking around yelling, "ARG! I'm a pirate! ARG!"
