Ughh got a call from our mortgage lady. Apparently, the original loan estimate was done based on H working full time (even though everything we gave them showed part time hours) so now we have to figure out a way to get $163 knocked off our bills and it's going to be a bitch. Grrr. I hate when you know you can afford something but the VA, tells you that you can't -.-
Ugh sorry lady! Can you cancel a service or something?
I am going to try to come back around a little more again. The boys went to live with their bios about 3 weeks ago now, and I am a little lost. We are not considering TTC again at this point, but haven't given up on the idea of fostering again. We may wait it out and see if the boys come back into care and take them again. It is tough to wish for that since it means that things aren't great at home, but I don't want to miss the chance (since it is highly likely) and have them have to go to a different home.
Most of the time I am okay, the rest of the time I drink!
Hugs lady :/ you and B are so amazing for taking in those boys.

That is a tough situation, but we're happy to have you back. Are you able to keep in touch with the boys or their parents?
There was a bit of shift once they went back. We had them for an overnight within 48 hours of them being returned. We had visits scheduled twice the next week and she basically flaked on me, and hasn't responded to me since. I hear that bio-dad wasn't as comfortable as she was with us being a big part of their lives. I have tried to reach out several times so that she knows we are still here for her. She actually responded for the first time today in 2.5 weeks and said that she and the boys are well. So, that counts for something, as much as it hurts to not be able to see them.
The lowest we've found before along my dad for help was $60-something a month and we need it lower than that by like, $20.
Can you pay it all upfront?
Edit: meaning the year...
Possibly. I sent her an email asking about it. But I'm fairly certain we have to pay for a full year upfront anyway so not sure it'd make a difference.

shemarie82, I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I don't even know what to cross my fingers for for you but I just hope that your pain eases, no matter what happens.
My head is spinning after reading the Title Commitment. I want to go see our house so bad. The renters are moved out and it is empty. We might stop by. I hope our Realtor calls me back and tells me we can go inside.
I have such a love hate with Title commitments...like, thanks for letting me know what we need to do for closing the sale, but they can be confusing sometimes.

Oh yes! I am oh so confused. I plan on either calling our Realtor or the Title Company tomorrow to help me figure out what it means.

My "baby" (25) sister is getting married and I get to go wedding dress shopping with her tomorrow! I am so excited to go with her. The guy she is marrying is a complete loser, but I want to be with her for this part of the experience.
It's my Monday, too, but I'm only working three days this week. We ran out of oil last night, so no heat and no hot water for a shower this morning. Aye yay yay. At least no one is in the office so it's quiet...well for me these days it's always quiet but at least no one will even notice when I go for two hour lunches and/or workout every day this week. I put in a resume this weekend and nearly did a second, just need to contact some potential references to make sure they're on board before sending it off. Please let something pan out...please!!
Booo for running out of oil! Not a good way to start the day!

I just had chipotle for the first time in months and it was so yummy I don't even care about the possibility of ecoli. I'm also on day 2 of Whole 30 so that's obviously going well
Do you watch Last Week Tonight with John Oliver? He just did a bit on this that was hilarious.
