Oh my gosh 14joa31 beautiful! This is in your new house? My dream is to be able to renovate before moving into whatever house we buy. That is so pretty!
Yep this is the new house! I took this pic standing in the dining room. We took down most of the wall that used to separate the kitchen from the dining room. Let me see if I can pull the before pics from the listing. There used to be a closet between the kitchen and dining ... which was where the sellers had their laundry washer and dryer :/ I saw that and said hell no!!!

Love the kitchen!!
NellieOleson, I don't get the screenshot - I know mcb... is a regular poster, but what forum is she referring to and ... I guess I'm just still totally confused and don't have enough context to interpret it correctly.

MCB is the one who made the A Place to Meet board when all the craziness first went down. In that screen shot she is saying no one went there at first because it was hers - and then after the new admins were voted on they took over her board and she basically feels like it was stolen from her. At least that is my interpretation.
I don't know if that's how it really happened, but it sucks she feels that way regardless.

14joa31 - love it! Post the before pic if you can find it.
We are on our way to the new house to get the keys!
There is a "wing" of the house that was an addition, and it doesn't have hardwoods, so we are putting those in before we move. Hopefully we won't run into any crazy delays!

I'm anticipating a loooooong night. This evening I noticed DD felt warmer than normal & she just kept getting hotter. At 5:30pm her temp was 100 degrees and 45 min later almost 101. I'm anticipating she has the bug DS and I had. I've prepared her bed and putting her to sleep now. FX it's just a fever and nothing more. 😳

Round 5 of the TWW for me. Day 4...Wooooo. I do not feel confident this cycle even though our timing was great. Probably because I felt SO confident last cycle and my heart broke a little when AF arrived. This weekend is going to be a busy one. Working tomorrow after a 60 hour week. Blaaa. Ah well, at least it will make time in the TWW pass quickly! What's going on for you ladies?
I think M is getting more teeth 😥 she's been off the charts cranky the last 2 days a day it looks like she's got some teeth about to pop through. We were supposed to go camping starting today. There was a problem with H's card so the reservation *should* have been automatically cancelled, according to what they told us when we made the reservation. But now they're saying because we made the reservation we have to pay them. So H is doubly pissed because he was really looking forward to going, and now we have to fight with them.
Maybe someday I'll make an after bedtime munchies run without bumping into a friend, or acquaintance, or former friend. Maybe. But not today. And probably not as long as we live on the south side 😅

Curious my nds must know what you bought. I struggle with snacks. It's all junk food in my mind and so I dont but it. Then I have no snacks I eat a lot of cheese.

I bought junk food. Bag of cheesies for H, licorice and double stuff ores for me. I went for a slurpee but the only kind without caffeine or aspartame ended up being gross. I've been craving sweets like crazy for the last week or so.

It finally warmed up here, so I got out my summer clothes. I am very psyched that the capris that were too tight last year fit this year, and the new capris I bought last year I cannot wear this year because they are definitely too big. Those 20 lbs definitely make a difference. And I hope by mid-summer the difference is even more noticeable. I've got my eye on a box of clothes that's labelled "crimson's clothes - just a little too small"...
It totally made me think of what we were talking about the other day: Mom vs Dad levels of responsibility.
This is brilliant Nellie. I obvs will not show my H since he does do quite a bit of work (can't complain really) He also does a lot of cooking because he enjoys it, which is helpful because that gives me time to do regular cleaning maintenance... but the planning and picking up and lists lists lists - it's all me. And I work in the city (45 mins away) start at 7am so I can get home to speak time with the family. We are more or less the same income earners and I have a more demanding job in terms of after hours emails/calls/events. The thing that gets me is he wfh most days and when I get home the house is a disaster. I spend the first 10-15 mins picking up toys, doing dishes etc etc. How does he work all day in a house like that?!? When I wfh I take 5 min mini breaks and do a load of laundry, do the dishes, make some baby food - whatever - AND I am more productive at work.
Those gorgeous wood floors were covered in carpet??? Why???
They are actually pretty beat up in some areas. We are going to have to have at least one section replaced, new wood installed in a hallway, and the entire thing refinished. I think it will be worth it in the end, though!
