We had a fun time this morning meeting an old daycare friend at the trampoline park. The kids wore themselves out! My brother called and will be in the states in 2 weeks and stopping in. Yay! I have the travel bug and now I want to visit all the places but they are so far from here.

The neighbor is revving his motorcycle during nap time. We both have preschoolers that nap right now. 😒

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. I'm sorry. That sounds really frustrating.

I know EXACTLY what I'd do if I had allllll the money!
I'd pull V out of daycare and double whatever they're paying his favorite teacher to become V's private tutor/nanny.
That's the dream my friends.

I’m sorry that it didn’t go the way you want. I completely understand. I feel like our lives revolve around MH and his hobbies and interests when it comes to what we are going to do. +1 Totes feeling you both on this this weekend.

tgrimes not selfish at all. You deserve a day to yourself doing things you want to do not need. But a massage might be a need at this point.

So exciting, guster!! I'm sorry, guster. I echo everything flamingo said. I feel like any time that I have high hopes for ends up a bust because even "my" time is never actually mine anymore. I obviously wouldn't change a thing but it's normal to feel let down.

If i won the lottery i would pay off all our debt, quit my job but keep the kids in school, go to the gym every day with my free time, and take international trips during all the school breaks (plane tix are so expensive during school breaks).
Then i would buy a beach front property somewhere like Costa Rica and spend the next 10-15 years going down there, build a bed and breakfast, and grow every fruit bearing tree possible on the land. Then once my kids went away to college i would move down there full time and start my business.
Ok, can i win the lottery now?!

Did you hear about that case in PA where the woman went to court so she could get her millions of lotto winnings anonymously? I don't know what the outcome was but I can't blame her at all! I would probably buy a beach house somewhere convenient to travel. Maybe finish getting that pilot license and buy a plane. Or just a boat. I wouldn't work. I love what I do but not that much. And I would have a pool boy for the pool and a pool house. I think you can set up a blind trust. That's probably what I would do.

guster so exciting, I hope they accept today. It's good if no one lives there now because you don't have to worry about getting them out.

I think whatever law they have wouldn't disburse the money with her being anonymous. I know a lot allow that but this one must not have.

guster good luck. So you had a good feeling this time about it? I liked it last time, but we were hoping for a shorter commuting distance and a more cul-de-sac like road, but it's not a busy road by any means and is so far away from the street but it doesn't feel anything but private. We each went in separately today with out kids and just got to wander for about a half an hour each. That really helped. I played the poker face until MH saw it and told me that he really liked it and could see our future here. I know he would've went along with it if I was super excited about it and he was just meh, but this way I know that we both loved it

Hi. We survived the birthday party. Weird Mom was there. Fortunately only mH got stuck talking to her for a few minutes (😂😂) but I did hear all about her new dye job, her FIL’s reaction, etc (and that was in the 30 sec I spoke with her).
I’m terrible, I know.
It’s fun to see our kids at an age where they are so into everything. B couldn’t wait for the birthday boy to open the gift we brought and thought the piñata was the best thing ever.

If you want to remain anonymous you have to set up they trust and put he trust info on the ticket instead of your name. She won't win the case. That state has the rules about this pretty well

Thanks for all the good wishes, everyone! The seller's husband is out of town and they are having trouble reaching him. The wife is all in for our counter offer, but they have to get yeses from both folks. We'll find out tomorrow morning. We scheduled an inspection for Tuesday morning, just in case.

Total non-related note, I pumped gas on the way home and I stink of it. I don't want to be near myself. I need to get in the shower.
