I'm home with Evie today, I don't think we got as much ice as predicted, although the news was reporting plenty of icy streets. I'm checking my emails so I'm not missing much. Got my workout in, grocery list is made, I plan on starting laundry soon, so it's a productive day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY tgrimes! I hope you're having a great day and you have a bottle of wine chilling for when you get home!

Ugh cagoldi. Sorry, that stinks! And you'll find your new normal with 3, I'm sure. I feel like 2 was so much harder than 1, until it just wasn't. If that makes any sense. Although what do I know, I only have 2, so I don't listen to me...

I think its the alarms-- MH at 5 and mine ten minutes later. They're super quiet but he must hear us from down the hall. You have a Fitbit, right? Have you tried using the silent alarm on it? I do! Great idea! Mh won't wake up to his but he's been talking about getting that sunlight alarm. Maybe we'll look at it tonight. On a second note, none of this will help if Skinny (our cat) won't stay quiet. He usually meows loudly until I head down stairs.

Although what do I know, I only have 2, so I don't listen to me... IDK but you're doing better than me because I still feel like two is much, much harder than one.

tallb, I screenshot it your post because I don't know anything about them. She was great at selling our house and advertising it, but it's got to be hard if she doesn't know the area. I'll give it til Sunday.

Sinny will jump all over us and paw at our faces if he hears the slightest bit of noise coming through on the monitor. Then the minute you open our door he goes right to theirs to check on them.

Unfortunately, I am brutally honest. I don't know how many times I can't keep telling her that I will not live in raised ranch regardless of how good the price is or how nice thr street is. Every home that I've been genuinely interested in is one that I have found and unlike work on. All they do is make appointment but it takes forever. Even writing this, I know I need to switch. Let's hope I can. ETA: to tag mwhip

Looks like the shoes are working. I'm not seeing her go up on her toes much at all. When she tried them on last night I asked her to go on her toes and she could barely do it, so yay! Her muscles are still insanely tight. I do manual stretches with her where I manipulate her ankle and leg after school and mh does the exercises with her. I've also noticed the toe walking is starting to crack the underside of her toes. It looks painful and she complains about them.

But I remember the beginning and I was like - how the hell do I do this? Like, everything was a challenge. Now it's just sort of life, I guess? I don't think I'm explaining it well.

OK, all this conversation pushed me to write a very clear and very specific email to our agents about what we want. I asked to find out if there are ways to reach out to the local ct agents to see if they can work together to find me a house in this very tiny town. I spoke with one of ct agents (from a different company) this morning on a fluke from a lead yesterday and in the 20 minutes we were on the phone, she had more knowledge of what I'm looking and what be available than my agents have had in last month.

And MH who is only home full time over the summer and only has a couple of hours with the kids at during the school year at night is sometimes flummoxed still on weekends how to do something new with both of them.

Happy birthday tgrimes!! Glad the biopsy was clear, xolastunicornxo! I'm sorry guster, I remember feeling similarly the longer our search lasted. Our agent kept sending us houses that in no way matched our criteria or were at the very top of our price range and in need of a major reno. She was as over it as we were. cagoldi - I am a pisces! March 13th, so just a few more weeks. If I'm correct, I've got a year on tgrimes.

Oh, I was also thinking guster is there something your DH is doing in the morning that wakes C up? I feel like there has to be something different on the days he’s home vs going to work. This is exactly what I was thinking. What time does your H get up? Maybe the noise from YH being up wakes up C.

His alarm goes off at 5; mine 510 (but I'll hit snooze, wake up, look at my phone for 10 minutes if possible)
