Sounds like we are all really busy!
Gaynor I can't believe they are 5 months old already. They are gorgeous. Well done for persisting with bf'ing. I know how hard it is, especially with preemies, nevermind with twins!
Jen, congrats on the pregnancy. Will you find out the gender?
Mel, I hope you get sleeping through the night for Christmas too. What a gift that would be! Good luck with Kash's daycare.
Allie, how is Scotland? Does Alistair like his nursery? How is Alex getting along?
Hi Dazed! How are you babe? Happy Holidays!
Life has been utterly crazy for me. We were unofficially evicted 2.5 months ago. Then we never got a formal eviction notice and never heard from our landlord. So we emailed them, telling them we might be willing to buy the house from them and that I'm trying to study for my exams to be a licensed therapist. We told them we'd prefer to keep renting, but if not, maybe we could buy it from them. But either way, we needed to know what was going on because I've had to put my studies on hold in order to look for housing. We never heard back from them! Finally we put a note in with our rent check and asked them to please respond to our email. A few days later we got a response saying they weren't sure what they were doing and would get back to us in a week. It's been OVER a week now! I'm going to email them again today and remind them that they are basically holding us hostage. If we have to move, we need to know. I can't schedule my exams, nor can I buy a plane ticket to visit my mom until I know if I'm moving.
We put a bid on a house. We offered $60,000 over asking price. It sold for $220,000 over asking. The housing market here is impossible. It wasn't even that nice a house. It was a 2 bed, 1 bath. Less than 1,000 square feet. The kitchen was original from the 1950's. And it ended up selling for $770,000!!! Disgusting.
I'm studying while Delilah naps and on the weekends which gives me no free time. That's why I'm not posting on B&B these days. I'm overwhelmed with being a mom to a very active toddler, studying and dealing with this house shit.
Delilah is amazing. I love her to pieces even though she is fiercely becoming independent. No is her new favorite word. LOL! It's 7:30 am and she's still sleeping. I, unfortunately, woke at 6am with racing thoughts which is why I've had time to write this.
I hope everyone has happy holidays! I read when I can, but forgive me that I don't post much. xo
