Weekend Plans and Randoms

[TheEleventhHour]

Hi ladies! I am not sure if anyone is around but I thought I'd start a thread to get a little conversation going

[TheEleventhHour]

Tomorrow we have our first open house from 2-4! Of course our realtor could only do it then which is DS's nap time but we are just happy to do it. So looking forward to selling this place!

Life is a little nuts here ... selling our house, moving, looking for jobs, etc. It will be a crazy next couple of months but we are so excited to finally move and get settled in our new place. DH has a job interview next week and we are going to drive up the night before and do some measuring so we can start looking at furniture. I also want to pick paint colors and paint before we move!

Lots of cleaning and organizing. Gymnastics tomorrow morning for DD and a BBQ at DH's aunts house tomorrow afternoon.

How's the house selling going TheEleventhHour?

[hikingmama222]

Sorry we posted at the same time. Fx for a good open house!

[TheEleventhHour]

hikingmama222 It is coming along. We had one couple look at it and over $55,000 under asking. LOL. We didn't even counter their off. We had a family look at it earlier this week and they really liked it but have been holding out for a street level unit and ours is garden level. That being said, there is a street level coming on soon but their porch overlooks the parking lot and it is less square footage than ours so I think if we haven't sold by then they may be back when they realize the differences. They really liked that our porch has more privacy and loved the bird feeders our neighbor puts out!

And I am totally hoping the open house is successful tomorrow!!!

Thanks for thinking of us. Gymnastics sounds so fun for your DD

Hopefully it sells quickly. Must be stressful keeping it clean!

Ha! Oh my goodness I really had no idea but my full time job is following DS around. Of course he picks now to be a total slob and tornado  

[hikingmama222]

Haha I bet. I have no clue how you do it. Dd is into hording things. Piles of stuff gets constantly moved around the house all day.

She is loving gymnastics, tomorrow is her 3rd class. She's doing so good and I'm amazed how well she follows instructions since she never listens to us!

Good luck selling the house TheEleventhHour! We had 24 showings on our house in 10 days before getting 2 offers -- one was for full asking and they pay closing. The buyers are having the inspection done tomorrow from 9am-1pm and it's supposed to rain, so we boarded the dogs and just have to find something to occupy DD for 4 hours! I'm so glad this is the last time we have to clean and vacate before we move.

Next Friday we close on the new house! Last weekend we bought new furniture for the master bedroom and living room. Our old furniture will go in the guestroom, DD is going to get the full size bed from the old guestroom and the new baby will get her crib. It's starting to feel real...

[TheEleventhHour]

tarheelmom That is so exciting! Hoping everything with the inspection and closing goes well!

Hi ladies!

GL TheEleventhHour !

My best gay guy friend is in town so he will be by soon to meet A.

R is still really being a pill for us/me. Like bad. Throwing toys and A's head, kicking and hitting us. Straight up refusing to listen. Yeah. I hate seeing such negative attention seeking behaviors from my sweet girl.

Dh and I are in serious convo mode. My mom is refusing to watch both kids 5 days a week. Which we knew when I got pregnant, did not know when we were ttc, but I guess I should not have assumed. All the dcs I've looked into, about 10, would run anywhere from half my take home pay to all of it. We are now seriously entertaining the idea of me becoming a sahm.

[TheEleventhHour]

chilibeansm0m Sorry to hear about R! I am sure it will get better after a little adjustment time! GL with your decision about staying at home. It is so crazy how much daycare costs.

We just got an open house update from our realtor (who still insists on calling me Shannon lol) ... 7 people came through. One was a neighbor who was happy we are raising the prices in the neighborhood lol. The neighbor bought right before the housing crash in the 230s so she has been waiting for the market to come back around! Out of the other 6 there was one really interested and just needs to check on financing stuff before considering an offer! Unfortunately a lot of people don't love the ground level because the buildings don't have elevators but I think there are definite positives to not being street level so I am keeping my fingers crossed

This is way late but I'll join in anyway!
On Saturday, we went to Z's cousin's 2nd birthday party. I loved watching DS running around and having a blast with all the LOs there! Sunday was a typical Sunday for us. We spent our morning outside enjoying the nice spring air and played family games.
