Yay! That's super exciting LaRo422! A cleaner sounds like a great suggestion too.

Same. Last night I sat in bed trying to figure out other jobs I could do and what’s the least amount I could get paid and still support my family for an hour. Like just anything that would be easier than this and give me a small amount of money and leave me alone. I had these same thoughts at 4:00 this morning. I am a para working with preschoolers. 6 of thr have IEPS. There is no social distancing and very little mask wearing. I love my job, but it is so scary and stressful right now. My 5yo worked with an IEP in pre-k last year and his spEd teacher was an angel. And so far the one time I met the K SpEd teacher she seemed wonderful too. You all do the lords work. Seriously, thank you so much. I’m sure you’re not vocally appreciated enough so I hope you feel this internet love from here. ❤️

Can you hire a housekeeper for a day to do some of the deep cleaning? Like you can declutter and organize, and then let them do the scrubbing. Good luck, that’s exciting! That's a good idea! I got notice that our taxes are FINALLY about to credit this week after waiting for 7 months, so I may spring for that. It's worth my mental health, for sure. If your house is clean and appraiser can get into the garage and peek in closets that will be perfectly fine.so hire housecleaner and move a handful of things in each space and ask housecleaner to straighten a couple more

Oh you all were spot on with recommending Cinderella. It’s making me so happy.
It kind of reminds me of the happiness I got while watching Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. I’m a sucker for covers and breaking into song spontaneously.

Thank you!! ❤️ My 11 year old has had some form of iep since he was 20 months old. He would not be the successful, well-adjusted kid without the team of amazing sped teachers and support staff. He hopped off the bus today, his first day of middle school, and announced “I had an awesome day at school today.” And this sweet memory that popped up for me today is from his first day of kindergarten. 4 hours later his special Ed teacher stopped him at the doors to the school after he got his backpack and announced, “I’m done, I’m going home!” 😂 Your work is hard. You are very appreciated for what you do.

Do appraisers go inside homes everywhere? Is that regional/mortgage type dependent? When we bought our house 5.5 years ago I'm pretty sure the appraiser just took pics of the outside, looked at comparable sales, and made sure our sale price was reasonable. The appraisal matched our sale price exactly, which is what our realtor told us to expect

Quick update: they released my mom tonight (a day early!) and I just talked to her her on the phone. She sounds great, perfectly normal even! I'm just so so thankful right now.

The appraisal matched our sale price exactly, which is what our realtor told us to expect 1st time appraiser just pulled comps and looked at outside. 2nd time we used an appraiser that came inside and looked around, took pics of everything and I really was happy I anal cleaned. Lol Inside they are looking for upgraded cabinets and fixtures and stuff that raises value.

The appraisal matched our sale price exactly, which is what our realtor told us to expect often it depends on what the purpose of the appraisal is for. Is it just to give the bank reassurancethatthe out you are borrowing is reasonable? Or is it to give a true value of the property on the market so you can show improvements and get more equity? I've had appraisers literally ask me why we were getting the appraisal and our goals.

mrsweasley , when we bought our house 2 years ago, the appraiser went inside. He took a lot of pictures in his report. Maybe it's regional? I am in a VHCOL arrea, don't know if that impacts it.

The appraisal matched our sale price exactly, which is what our realtor told us to expect Most banks and mortgage companies use an automated underwriting system. It spits out an appraisal requirement based on the overall risk of the transaction. Some transactions require no appraisals- some outside only- some/most require interior and exterior inspection and pictures. Your loan-to-value ratio (how much you will owe with your mortgage vs how much your house is worth) as well as how many comparable properties have sold recently all factor very heavily into this.

We got our minivan yesterday (obligatory tagging STP)! It took 3 months from the date we ordered it to when it was built and finally shipped to the dealership this week. This production shortage is intense. And we were one of the lucky ones because Toyota is significantly reducing production expectations now and a whole bunch of orders apparently got canceled by Toyota in the last few weeks. But it's here and I can't wait to enjoy all the features. We also managed to get the really pretty emerald green color. Plus the hybrid engine gets 600 miles to the tank! WTF I couldn't believe that.

I just dropped my kids off for their first day this morning. They let parents into the building to drop off but only as far as the entrance lobby. DD took DS's hand and was going to walk him to his room from there.
I'm out of practice on the drop-off's and wasn't expecting to say bye so quickly and thus cried on the way home. I feel like a noob!

In addition to his county OT, we recently put the toddler in private physical therapy. He's 20 months and not walking, so my guy needs the extra support. We also just ordered him a fancy pair of orthotics! Anyway, we've had three private PT sessions every other week for about a month. And yesterday his therapist let me know she can see him weekly! It takes me halfway across the county in morning school traffic, which is stressful AF, but I'm really excited for him.

It’s RAINING! Lol. Very exciting for us drought-stricken Californians. DS ran outside twice and H exclaimed when he saw lightning 😅 We’ll probably get a tenth of an inch if that, but it feels nice and smells good. 🌧

What is that?

Sorry about the stressful drive, hopefully it won’t be too bad.

Daycare sent me a pic and he looks so stinking proud of himself. .
