Moving Thoughts

The realtor just called and someone else is looking at the house today.  Yesterday's Looky Lou's liked it and wanted to know when we could move.  No offers yet.  They are planning on making an offer today.  Mark told our realtor we could close on March 2nd.  Bidding war?  Wishful thinking.  I just keep thinking about where to even start packing and that we could be homeless in three weeks :)  Not really, we are moving to my mom's house.  We will feel like a genie in her house, Itty bitty living space.  It's a roof until we figure out what we are doing next.  She does have a pool.  I will be kinda like vacation.  Yeah, vacation.  

Moving thoughts...

We have a lot of stuff!  

Three weeks, is that possible?

Moving sale?  What in the world do you keep?  We have a lot of fluff!  
Kids toys, oh my!  

Do we really have that many books?  

That couch is heavy!  Really heavy!  

I have a lot of potted plants.  

Mark wants a tomato before we move.  Bless his heart, will one just turn red already!  

How long can you not buy a house and still keep your homestead?  

The garage is a mess what in the world are we going to do with all that?  

That is one big baby! BABY GRAND PIANO!  All 5 ft 9 inches has to go somewhere.  Not my mom's.  Good grief who's idea was it to get a baby grand.  All he wanted was a nice upright, but he loved the sound of the grand.  I admit it... I talked him into it, alright already!

How much do we unpack because we are going to have to do it twice, twice.    

If we do sell how long will we be at my mom's?

Who's idea was this?

Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook

It has been 24 days since I changed my password and logged off Facebook. I have logged on twice to see if anyone messaged me and logged back off. Which I am glad that I did because someone messaged me about math tutoring. The only thing I missed was if someone had had their baby. I was interested to know and while I tried so hard to stay off Facebook I did search her name just to see if she had the baby. Then I thought if she did have the baby and I don't know then are we really friends?   We are not friends by the true definition, just virtual Facebook friends. Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook 1. Selling of Rodan & Fields, LuLaRue, 31, Ketones or Scentsy.  I like some of these products and support you 100% and hope you do well.  The multiple posts on your product daily but nothing else in your life, blah. 2. Bragging. I love to see pictures of your vacation, if it isn't the only time you are on Facebook. 3. Posting fake news. 4. Making a comment I ...

Self Correcting Error

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.    ~ Thomas Edison   As a parent I really struggle with how much should I meddle in the affairs of my kids. At what point are you just making your kids decisions for them? Recently I went to a winter retreat with a group of middle and high school students as a chaperone. We had fun, but as a chaperone we were talking about a choice one of the kids was making and the other parent said to us along the lines of it will be a "self correcting error".  At what point do we has parents let our kids fail, not to be mean spirited but at some point you learn by error. Clearly something that is going to cause them or others physical or emotional harm needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. What about the kid that wants to take AP history? The class you know will be hard. It will take a lot of work and might not be worth the AP credit. Do you let them never even have ...

One Word Can Actually Make a Difference

I choose not to work. I do understand that people don't have a choice and have to work outside of the home for a pay check to buy food and shelter.  One parent in my house must work. I also feel some don't really have to work and choose to work for luxury items.  I have talked to people that say there is no way they could be a stay at home parent and choose to go to work. Why do we as parents belittle each other in our choices.  Recently on Facebook (some say a necessary evil, but I think it is just evil) A parent commented   "...for the parent that actually works".  Wow, only one word makes that sentence sting.  I try not to let these words on Facebook hurt me or give them a second thought but I am a wordy person and I think about words.  The sentence takes a different tone if it was written, "for the parent that works".  The word "actually" implies negative things to those that don't work. For the parent that works I understand that a 30 ...
