More house drama!!!

First off let me start this by saying Lynn (MIL for those of you who don't know her) came to town a few weeks back and as always we had a good time. Despite the fact that Zach and I were both pretty sick for most of her stay, she got to see Calvin's last school performance and last baseball game. It's always so nice to see her. I feel VERY lucky to have her as my mother in law! Love you Lynn!!

Now on to our house drama! Uhhhhhggggg! Unfortunately we've decided we need to move. The stupid bank wants to wait for more offers to come in before they accept either of the ones they already have. I just don't get it? No one is going to offer them more money? Why don't they take what they can get? It makes no sense to me. We can't sit around waiting for the deal to close until the new owners (who ever they may be) take over. It will probably go into foreclosure any way so we've decided we better get out while we can. We will be moving August 1st. Where to yet we have no idea? Rentals here open and close so fast because of all the foreclosures, it's crazy! We found a couple great places but they were already taken. We aren't even going to officially start looking for another 3 weeks or so. Wish us luck! I'm very sad to leave this house. I love it because ALL my crap fits perfectly in it. I hope we can find something similar. We may get a 3 bedroom with a loft and make the boys share a room. Calvin REALLY needs it. He's always yelling at poor little Zach and hording all his toys.....even if he doesn't like them! He needs a giant dose of brotherly love!

My best friend here up and got herself a job! Now I babysit her little man. Gosh, I just got rid of the little girl I was watching! It's been a bit of an adjustment for me because I have to get up early. Calvin always just took care of himself and Zach sometimes slept as late as 10! It hasn't been too bad but then again it's only been a week! It's good for all of us though. He's a bit of a Mama's Boy and needs to be around other kids/people and I need to practice getting up early for when Calvin starts 1st grade. Calvin has been a big help......I'm even thinking of giving him an allowance each week for his help. Zach is a bit jealous of Christopher, it's kind of funny. I never in my life thought I'd end up being the neighborhood babysitter! I swear if I take on one more kid I'm gonna look like a MORMON and I sooooooo can't have that!!!

We joined the YMCA recently. I've been working out 2 or 3 times a week! Gotta get my body back (yah, like that will happen!) for our big vacation to Mexico in September! Calvin is in a once a week baseball camp and Zach starts swim lessons in July. Dwayne's been pumping iron too. Our new family theme song is "Let's get Physical". Just kidding!

Well, that's about it for us. We will keep you posted on our house searching! Uhhhhgggg! Just the thought of it makes me cringe! I guess it's time to start some serious purging! Nah, I think I'll have a glass of wine instead! Hope all is well for you and yours! Much love!!!
