I think she needs a new psychologist. I think she must be lying to the psychologist! When I first went to my psychiatrist she made sure to tell me this only works if I'm honest with her and myself. I thought it was crazy that people pay all this money to get help but not be honest. It's apparently a big problem.

I won't do anything until after the baby is here. We have 4 bedrooms so everyone is on their own now. The rooms aren't big but have big closets. 4 bedroom houses with all bedrooms on the same floor like we have are basically unheard of and 5 bedrooms are nonexistent here. We may be able to get another room over the garage but it will require a variance (which took us 7 months to get last time.) I also don't know that I want to be taxed as a 5 bedroom, our taxes are about 11,000 already and our property is 50x100. We will not move farther away from NYC though to get more space because without traffic, DH's commute is 18 minutes and mine is 6 minutes. Probably, T is getting a roommate although right now DD is requesting the baby be with her. Your taxes are cheap compared to ours! The amount we are looking at in taxes if this house works out is ... insane.

We've been sitting on an extremely hot plan for 40minutes. No communication about take off. The guy behind me is watching some show loudly in another language. No headphones. I think I want to get some Beats by Dre. Does anyone have them? Are they worth the money? I love my Beats. They're not made to be noise cancelling but they definitely have the best sound, I think.

So cute Snoop! Did he let them use clippers? J won't let us but said he will use clippers next time.. Yes! This was the first time, although they only used clippers for the sides.

The amount we are looking at in taxes if this house works out is ... insane. I can't imagine. It's why we're looking in towns with better school districts. It means we would have to pay more in taxes, but the fact that in our town taxes are a gazillion dollars and schools aren't great is incredibly frustrating.

I use them for weight lifting or walking but they're not great for running or bootcamp style stuff. My H has the Beats earbuds and he liked them until the Apple wireless Ones came out, then he got those.

Cher My in laws pay more in taxes on their home than I make in a year so, they feel your pain. LOL! Where do they live? It's awful. We have the highest property taxes in the country, so there's no escaping it. But when you look at a house with $30k in taxes and the realtor says "low taxes too!" You want to be like, "okay, but you know that's not actually low to the rest of the world, right? We're just so damn numb to it."

My cousin closed on a house last week with one of the best school districts in NJ. His taxes are almost $40,000. They don't want kids. I may give him mine when they get to high school. The house includes a nanny apartment too.

Ours are high for our area because of our school, I'm dreading seeing what ours will be for 8 acres and a 2500 square foot house.. We actually lowered our acreage because of the property taxes.

The house includes a nanny apartment too. At least it's a sick house with good schools! But yes, if you're not using the school district, it sucks. My girlfriend pays $60k for a very regular 4 bedroom colonial with not a ton of land. There's areas around here where the taxes are six figures and it's not even a great school. People are just so numb to it here that when they see an average house with $25-40k in taxes, they act like it's a deal. I can rant about property taxes here all day lol.

Hahah. 8 acres would be a nightmare here! We saw a house with half an acre yesterday and it was $40k in taxes. I can't even imagine what they would bill someone for 8! Probably why no one has more than an acre here, at most!

Tonight was a reminder I'm good with smaller property/more city like. My sister lives 45 minutes west of me in a lake community and we went to my nephew's swim meet at a lake. I figured we sit on a beach. I did not figure that I had to hike through the woods, sit in the woods, and take T to a porta potty (twice). DS1 was terrified of ticks, DD was shocked that people actually swim in lakes, and T thought he was going to be eaten by a crocodile. On the way home, T said "I don't like it here, not enough cars, too many trees."

I know- it's pissing me off that they won't let you use a sale or promo code w it. I was kinda hoping later in the year they will, that's why I am holding off til Xmas. I realize that doesn't help you now for the upcoming school year. . . I just gave H some options to choose between and the first thing she said, before seeing anything was "I want the one with all the princesses". I showed her the catalogue like a month ago. Of course she remembers. I ordered M's PBK backpack last Friday. They had just started a sale, and with monogramming it was still more than what I wanted to pay. He starts in 3 weeks so I just said F* it and ordered it. The very next day I get a 20% off order coupon in my email. I tried to call and cancel my order, but it was too late. I was bummed. I'm all about saving some dollars.

I do not go into that water and I try to stay in the house because I'm scared of snakes. Ha ha ha!

tgrimes explain property tax to me. We have something like this, but it's called 'transfer tax' which is a certain percentage of the sale price of your house and is tax deductible the next year, if that makes sense.

You all need to move to MO! We have 7 acres and a 2500 sq ft house. We pay less than $2000 a year for property tax.

It's my hill that once I start, I can't stop. Try to find some time between all the trips you have planned to come to Houston. We can drool over SweetPotato's new house and bond over wine & property taxes.
