guster, I hope you love it! One of my biggest things is that I want the backyard to be relatively private. I don't want everyone to be able to see into our yard as we sit on the deck or whatever. It's good the house sits back far enough so there is still room to play, ride bikes, ect!

I don’t think we’re going to make it down this year with DH’s schedule but we’re hoping to do spring break there next year. I miss it. Enjoy your night there (and your trip, of course!)

The house is very wooded, so it's definitely private, @wine. Nice deck, big side yard, pool. I'm just. Im just not feeling very decisive today.

I can't believe how grown up our N13 babies are! E just seems so independent and tall among other things.

guster I hope this is the one!!! 🤞🏼I definitely think bad staging and a screaming child can totally turn someone off to a house. So hopefully fresh eyes will see a better vision! I would build our dream house if we won the lottery.... Sound REALLY nice about now with our current situation. However- something good might be in the works. My dad called up his friend who is a fancy builder (like ridiculous homes) and he said he’s getting ready to start developing a neighborhood in the area that we want. He also said he would be able to build us a house in our price range. So, we are going to meet with him when my dad gets back from his bike trip. I don’t know if it will pan out- but I’m hopeful! Have fun on your trip yummeecookee !!

Just curious! yummeecookee have a great time! I am so jealous. Would love to leave this weather behind. I’m trying to think of a nice way to put this but let’s just say she was an extreme over-sharer. Literally had never spoken 2 words to her before and all of a sudden she’s unloading a lot of really intimate stuff. Health issues, family drama (oh, the drama), nothing was off-limits. It was very strange. She had already cornered the hostess of the party, so I kind of ran interference for the poor hostess so she could—you know—host. Won’t make that mistake again. I feel bad for her and there’s a lot at play I won’t get into here, but it was just really uncomfortable.

I'm pretending I won the lottery and am spending $10-15,000,000 in my head. Does anyone else ever do that? Can I buy a new asshole with this kind of money? 😂 I would have the extra skin on my arms, legs, and stomach removed. It’s not a ton but I’d just like to look better. I would buy a nice mansion here on the water. Probably stay in the same town. We’d quit our jobs and start and animal rescue. Dh wants an all bulldog rescue but I want cats.

Good morning. I got to sleep in today and slept until 9:30. It was really nice. Dh took C to ninja class because I’m leaving soon to meet a friend from Boston for lunch. She hasn’t seen me since my surgery and doesn’t know about it so it will be fun. Plus we are going to a yummy Italian restaurant.

So this weekend didn’t turn out how I expected it to, but at least we got a break from the kids. I know this is going to sound very selfish, but just once I’d like to do what I want to do.

That does sound good sands42, I hope it works out if it’s something y’all are interested in! I think if I won the lottery I would also want to custom build...nothing huge, just 3-3500 sf, but perfect. Preferably on the water, or maybe in my parents’ neighborhood on one of the 3 available lots, haha. I think DH would still finish his time in the Navy but he could definitely afford to be picky about what he does afterward. I think we’d buy a boat, donate generously to our alma maters, and give some gifts to family and charities we like.

snoopmommymom I’m going to have dinner with a former student turned friend this week, too! I haven’t seen her since the beginning of the summer because she’s a fancy traveling doctor now.

The bounce house place was a bit of a bust. It started to get crowded and it was clearly a planned meetup. So lots of kids running wild while their parents talked to each other and paid no attention to the kids. This one kid knocked Chase over a few times before I realized he was doing it on purpose. He pushed Colin a couple times too, and while Col won't push back, he sure screamed at him. Got right in his face and scared him a bit, though not enough to stop him, since he still intentionally followed Chase and gave him another shove. I didn't have a clue who his Mom even was until right as we were leaving since she was busy chatting. It was so obnoxious. Their whole group was.
