We offered 20k less than asking. Then we ended up meeting in the middle at 10k below asking. I didn't want to lose this house. In retrospect, we probably could have gotten the house for cheaper, but I was afraid to go too low and lose the house.

Our area it's tough to find both land and a nice house. They got so lucky with this property. The owner is losing his business and is selling everything to pay off debt. Tehre will not be another opportunity like this one. Owner may be willing to take the low ball, then.

Let me ask DH and I'll get back to you. We lost out on a couple houses because of this - houses well within our budget, mind you. He said well I'll go up another 15K if they say no. And what if they are so offended they don't even counter? I did that to people that low balled on my house. Or I'd counter a thousand under asking. To prove a point. That's exactly what happened to us. He figured we'd end up in the middle and one countered $5K below asking and the other totally ignored us.

Tehre will not be another opportunity like this one. Owner may be willing to take the low ball, then. I hope so. Or at least counter them somewhere in the middle. It's the perfect set up for them, down to the fire department being super close (their daughter has CHD) and the childrens hospital being super close.

I'm complaining about house hunting again, whiney person up ahead. We liked a house that came on the market this week, we had a showing scheduled for tomorrow and it just went pending. It was on the market for like 48 hours. I hate everyone. Ugh, I'm sorry. The market here is like that. There's literally no inventory. We had an obscene # of showings in the weekend it was on the market; we had people trying to see it before it even hit the market (they were the ones who ended up buying it). I'm hoping if we come back in a couple years, things will have settled down, but our city was just named the #2 most desirable/popular place to move to in the country, soooo that's probably a pipe dream. I'm afraid we'll end up duking it out in the streets, Fight Club-style, to get into my parents' neighborhood (my dream location). And that will likely be for one of the older homes in here that needs a full gut job.

Hi! TGIF! We have a family picnic at the elementary school tonight which is always a blast for the kids! Then, hopefully a beautiful weekend weather wise, so lots of swimming and playing outside! My parents finally return from their 3 wks in FL tomorrow, so we are all looking forward to seeing them! Oh...the laundry. It's never ending. MH works outside, so his stuff obviously goes separate because it's gross. Then there's the rest of us! The boys stuff goes together, towels go together and sheets alone on hot. My stuff gets tossed in there somewhere! MH was in the navy, do he's the one who irons. Me, I'm not sure I could turn it on! Anyway, hope you are all having a great Friday!!

Left work early. It's beautiful out but I feel like a nap would be a better use of my time than sitting outside or going for a walk.

Got pictures from the preschool from splash day. My nut kept her cover up on the whole time. Then I watched as they put it in some other kid's bag after they all changed. Great, now I get to hunt for it.

Got the kids pictures taken. They were an hour & a half behind schedule. My sister was pissed because we needed to be back home by 1 for the electrician to install her lights. They ended up not charging us for the pics we ordered since we had to wait so long.

H had a massive blowout there too. Then another when we got home. Poor thing. He's been constipated for so long though so the pedi told me not to give any probiotics yet. I just hope he doesn't do this to me on the plane...

Also, hi, from the pedi chair.! I snuck out and my sister is watching all the kids. I need to tip this lady really well because it's been at least 7 months since my last one. Yuck.

You guys are crazy with your laundry! I don't even separate whites and darks. I'm a rebel. We throw dirty clothes into the washer after they come off our bodies, when full we turn it on. This is me. And Pete does his own laundry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay, with all our exciting laundry talk, how often do you guys iron? I can't remember the last time I ironed. I don't own an ironing board. I'm not even sure I know where my iron is, although I have a good idea. It has been a minimum of 2 years since I've ironed, I know I haven't used the iron in this house. Reason I ask, H's step mom borrowed a Royals tshirt from me to wear to a game. She brought it back, washed and ironed. I was like, who the hell irons tshirts? I have a shirt in my closet that needs ironed, which probably just means I will never wear it again. I may ask her if she will iron it for me. It's a silky material and I'm worried I'll ruin it anyway. The last time I ironed was never. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Back from the pool. DH is cooking dinner for the kids and I'm sitting on the couch while Angry Birds movie parents O. I'm going out for sushi and wine with some girlfriends tonight. I'm excited.

For some reason I read "pedi" and thought pediatrician. And I couldn't figure out why you were there but the kids were with your sister... I swear I haven't started drinking yet.

I don't iron. My cleaning lady does but nope from me. In an emergency, I will wrinkle release spray or use the dryer.

My ex husband used to leave his clothes out each night that needed to be ironed. I didn't get home from ballet until 11pm and he'd been home all night by himself. I'd have to iron them before going to bed.
Stupid fucker.

My friend wants me to meet up for drinks for her birthday later. I'm tired and no one going knows I'm pregnant but she's had a rough year and I feel like I should go. First I have to take DD to a spa party for 7 year olds. Maybe I can nap in the car during that.

peachsmama, maybe just hold off on the underwear and let him use Pull-Ups. Be super encouraging about how cool it is to go on the potty. I never switched to underwear until they were more or less trained because eff no to cleaning up pee everywhere.

He's wearing shorts, no underwear or diaper. Jack peed on the floor but then sat on the potty. #liveblog

Got my nap in and took a nice walk with C. Now he's running through the sprinkler while I enjoy the nice night.
