Thursday already? Only Thursday?

[lilyelayne]

Is this week going by quickly or slowly for you?

[lilyelayne]

We can't use tinypic to upload photos anymore, and if you have tinypic images in your siggy (like me!) they're broken now. See global announcement above for reasons why. Photobucket / imgur are other online hosting sites that work fairly similarly.

[aggiebug]

To quick! I have a bunch of stuff to get done in the next two days. Eep!

[taberbtb]

lilyelayne no tinypic?! This is life changing for me. I use it for everything!

I also can't believe today is only Thursday. Hopefully DH and I will get out tonight to finish our Xmas shopping that didn't happen on the weekend. Fingers crossed!

[RedGiant]

Too quickly and too slowly at the same time. Quick because I have a bunch of cookies and a cake to make for this weekend, and with a sneezy/sick toddler he can't help so he needs to be otherwise entertained. Slow because I can't wait to see Star Wars tomorrow night!

[danitaec]

One day more! (If you're a theatre nerd like me, you now have that song in your head.) Tomorrow' is the school singalong, and I finally figured out how to use Audacity and make the mix for our teacher skit. It's a pretty neat program, but don't ask me to deejay your parties...

My sitter came down with a stomach virus last night, so DH scrambled thus morning to find d someone else to watch V. After he found someone, they ended up not having a car, so I ended up taking V to her house instead, which made me late for work. And plus she has no baby stuff and nothing is baby proof. But there was no one else.

And they posted the my old boss' job. Decision time.

[pitdigger]

Mom fail: it took me half the day to remember that G is 10 months today.

We are no closer to a decision. DH doesn't want to give realtors an idea of budget, so of course they're showing us expensive stuff out of our comfort zone.

But today was the 12 Days of Christmas WOD. Slog, but fun. And tonight is the theatre Christmas party.

Tomorrow night is pre-Christmas date night! We're going to the Charity Star Wars gala showing. Cocktails before the movie! It won't matter if it's bad, we'll have been drinking!

[mishka29]

LO is sick again. We had a nice week long break between illness so that was nice.

Nothing exciting going on here...as usual.

pitdigger, it's only a mom fail if you don't notice until a week has gone by. Remembering on the day is bonus points.

[cougarette]

Have yall seen the Google page today? Apparently I'm better at reading music than I thought! It's fun, especially if you're a Beethoven fan.

[cougarette]

And in other news, I took DS to his follow up appt this morning and his lungs sound a lot better and his ears are clear. We're going to finish off the amoxicillin, but we can stop the albuteral. She did say that when infants get RSV they'll sometimes wheeze with regular colds for the next year or two, so we'll probably have to give him albuteral during those times.

I'm also glad his appetite is improving because he lost nearly half a pound since his well visit on the 2nd. (Yall know I'm obsessed with his weight)

[lilyelayne]

cougarette love tit for getting better not for the weight loss. He'll make it back up!

[lilyelayne]

I am almost as cranky as the baby today. Maybe I'll take us out to lunch when DS wakes up & see if we can both get an attitude adjustment.

[lilyelayne]

Also our internet is broken and I really don't feel like dealing with our cable provider so I may just pretend I didn't notice til DH gets home. I'm a real winner today.

[pitdigger]

Ladies who've house hunted: realizing the market we're looking at is screwy, I shouldn't start to get discouraged if properties that we thought would be good for us and work in the budget are going under offer, right? DH has gotten into my head and this is freaking me out.

[kaydee0402]

This week has been so long. I legit woke up thinking it was Friday. Huge disappointment when I realized how wrong I was.

Tomorrow night is PNO at Daycare. As much as I would like to say DH and I are going to go out for dinner and enjoy a nice date, I'm on day 12 of the fever and sinus infection from hell, so unless this thing clears up, PNO will consist of lots of sleeping and whatever DH decides to do (probably watch a movie).

I would say its depends.  That unless the market is rapidly increasing seeing places sold for under asking price is not that uncommon.   Forgive me where exactly are you looking if you don't mind? PM me if you want but if I am thinking correctly I may be able to put you in touch with someone who knows the market  better.

We'd be in Guernsey (Channel Islands). I know going for under asking isn't uncommon; it's more that this seems like a lot of movement at this level of the market. If you know someone who knows that market, I'd love to be in touch.

[aggiebug]

hmm pitdigger, I was thinking you were headed to the main island. I will reach out to her and see what she knows and get you in contact if she has any information for you.

[cloe111479]

Work is so slow today... Like I have been purging files all day. On the plus side -- I started the first season of the Serial podcast so that is entertaining.

God.. tomorrow and next week are going to suck.

[pitdigger]

aggiebug Yeah, it's a weird tiered/restricted market, so we don't really know how to navigate it. We're having to enter at the extremely high end, so seeing stuff going at the lower price point end feels scary.

[kaydee0402]

cloe111479, ahhh I need to start that! My sister listened to the first one and she is obsessed.

[WittyLittle]

I just wanted to say hi. Having the week from hell and can't believe I'm saying this, but I'll be happy if I'm cleared to fly to Greece on Sunday. I need a week of sleep and not moving. I plan to grow spores next week and gain at least 10lbs. Screw it all style.
cougarette, I'm glad he's getting better but indeed boo for the weight loss. When DS got sick for so long the pedi told us he'd play catch up as soon as he was better for a few weeks. Hold on!
badw0lf, feel better soon. This bout of sickness has overstayed its welcome!!!

[tortor4]

WittyLittle hugs. I hope you get the relaxation you need and deserve.

[lilyelayne]

Hugs WittyLittle.

I've been MIA this week. Monday night S had a terrible night of coughing and difficulty breathing. I called his doc as soon as they opened on Tuesday and we were instructed to go straight to the ER. 2 hours later we found out he has croup. He's been a clingy mess but seems to be on the mend. They gave him an oral steroid in the ER on Tuesday and it has really helped, except for it screwing with his nap schedule. We go to the doc in the morning for a follow-up appointment. Fx we get a good report.

It's ok. You'll find a place for you. Personally I'd rent the first 6 months to a year and house hunt then rather than do so from abroad. There are so many things listing can't or don't convey. The listing is an ad and won't tell you the bad things about the place.

My sister's house in England has gone under offer 3 times in the past few months and the buyers backer put every time (there's no penalty on that apparently) so there's still a chance! When are you guys planning to move over btw?
Eta i think Guernsey will be similar to England with the market activity. Lota of turnover and activity so i wouldn't worry too much!

WittyLittle if you don't come back green and furry from Greece I'll be disappointed. Bonus points for a funky smell.

I'm not entirely sure if one week is enough to grow green BUT I will try my best and am getting a headstart today. Dropped Jake off at daycare and am going riiiiiiiight to the couch. Aaaaaaaaaah! I'll start working on that smell asap
