I start work tomorrow😩😩😩😩.
The good thing is schools are closed here in anticipation of the tropical storm. MH will be home with the boys so I don't have to get all three of us out the door in the morning until Wednesday.

Good luck tomorrow, lahdeedah. yummeecookee sorry things have been so nuts around your house lately. kim22 what's the source of anxiety? Money? I'm not sure how ML works for teachers so I'm assuming you get more job protection but just the initial 8 weeks disability? Then doesn't NJ pay an additional 4-6 weeks?

I think it's a $$ thing but you're right I need a good inspector for this. How do I go about finding one? Your realtor or lender should have someone they use. I did that last time. But this time I want to get someone that doesn't work for/with my agent. I trust her but I need someone completely objective.

I trust her but I need someone completely objective. That makes sense. What's that site that you have to pay to see the reviews.. Ashley list? Angies list? Maybe start there. Or if you know anyone that's bought recently they might have someone.

inthekitty This is what I saw at FIL's house today. On his mantle. Occupying a place of prominence alongside pictures of his deceased wife and my kids.

I just spent an hour wondering my house, inside and out looking for a noise that was keeping me up. It was my fan.. time to buy a new fan.

Congrats Cher. Please get a really good inspector. Ours ended up saving us 8 grand with things he found.

flamingo how are your parents doing in the storm? Did they leave? yummeecookee glad you were able to help out family during this time. Thanks for thinking of them! They are still at their vacation house so luckily were out of harm's way. Thankfully (for Jacksonville, anyway) the storm veered west. Lots of wind and rain and some flooding along the river and at the beach, but it could've been much worse. My poor elderly relatives were crisscrossing the state trying to avoid it. They left the east coast for the gulf side when it looked like it would be worst in Miami, then had to come home when it took a turn for Tampa. So crazy!

I scheduled some pictures for S on Tuesday while we will be in STL. So of course, tonight she climbed on our tall kitchen chairs, then leaned over the back, taking herself and the chair over backwards into the kitchen counter and cabinets. Fat lip, bloody gums, and bruised and knot on forehead. One of our favorite family pics is when I was about 2.5 and the night before the picture I did something and had a huge black eye. My mom put all sorts of makeup on me to try to hide it, and off we went. You can totally tell in the picture, and it makes me chuckle every time I see it.

I'm not sure how ML works for teachers so I'm assuming you get more job protection but just the initial 8 weeks disability? Then doesn't NJ pay an additional 4-6 weeks? Funny thing is, I always assumed money would hold us back from having a big family and that's not it. When we had DS1, things were tight. Since then, we have been super fortunate that really good things happened for DH especially since he took his new job last year. We "should" live in a better town, with better schools, in a larger home but we are choosing to stay put and use the extra for the too many sports the kids do and to someday travel and buy a beach house. There is no reason to believe his job isn't stable but my father was in and out of work a lot when I was a kid and I don't think I'm over it. My current stress is just the overscheduling. I like busy but this is alot with being pregnant. I had a long talk with DH last night about what needs to be given up and I'm a bit better today. Tomorrow is my drug free tooth filling so that's super.
