My life as I know it will be ending soon as I move out of my house of 4 years. Here I am at 30 years old and starting over again. We have had our house on the market for 6 1/2 months and an offer came in on Saturday. We grabbed it and ran with it, just to find out today that the buyers financing wasn't what he made it out to be, so we are working with them to try and make the offer still work. We will be losing out on money, but in the end we need to decide if it is more important to get the family together or lose a little bit of money. I choose family. In the end that is what I always decide.
About us...we've been married for 8 1/2 years and have renovated 2 homes now in that timeframe. We've also had 4 beautiful children ages 6, 4 1/2, 2 1/2 and 7 1/2 months old. They keep us busy night and day. Even when they are sleeping I am keeping busy. Like right now I am blogging, checking email, paying bills and a few other things.
Life around here starts about 5 or 6 am when the sun comes up and first potty stops are made and ends around 11 or midnight. Patrick is in school, kindergarten, and loving it. We are having some testing done to help him in school. We are trying to complete it before the end of the school year so that we have something to work with next year. I can't tell you how much of a failure I feel as both a mother and an educator knowing that I can't even help my own child learn and that he is so far behind.
Anyways Patrick goes to school at 8. I have my nephew dropped off here nearly every day around 730am to play with the kids. By 8 am everyone else is up for the day, in fact most days breakfast is done by 715 and we are moving onto morning snack by 830-9am. between 11 and 3 it is naptime around here. No they dont sleep that long. The kids are up and down the whole time, but we attempt at least 1 hr of sleep. By 430-6pm my nephew gets picked up and we start dinner, homework, baths and getting ready for the next day. At 7pm the kids all head to bed. And I finally get a few hrs of quiet to myself.
Well I need to get back to some things around here....more on life and the house later
