Yesterday

We were on day 42... and had showing #18.

Dude.. I am so tired.

I am also trying to read "Into the Wild"... you know that true story where that rich kid gave all his money to charity and decided to hitchhike and rough it for a while, then died in the wild in Alaska... yeah...
It is not that great.
It is slow going...
I see it more as "this spoiled brat who had everything given to him, decided to be Jack London without fully knowing that Jack London told his stories while being a glutton and being practically glued to a recliner while writing what he wrote. This KID was very ignorant in the way he decided to 'resist/rebel against his upbringing'".


Oh...
I haven't posted about the boys in a while...

Ok... here goes.

D is getting really bad into the terrible twos while also going through 2 year molars breaking through and an upper chest infection... He has been a BLAST the past few days.

G just got finished with all his 3 year appointments and did it like a champ. We also visited the Pediatric and Adolescent Center to help get an idea of his night time ninja stuff.... she gave me some suggestions to try at night, and also wants him to get a Sensory Integration Disorder test.... so I am waiting on a call back from that.

Oh.. you want pictures to?
Geeze... so demanding..

Pearl Hill and Danielle Atha

Pearlie Lavern Hill

41 days

and we have our 17th showing today.

We had our 16th yesterday and were getting excited when their realtor was calling our realtor from the house asking questions like "are they willing to pay some closing costs... blah blah.."

We let our excitement get away with us.... they haven't put an offer up yet... but our realtor did talk to theirs more in depth and I found out that they are just starting to look but really liked the house. They have not made a decision and she doubt they would this weekend. Apparently, they looked in Arlington too, but their realtor said they were very budget conscience and knew that once they saw what their money would buy in Arlington, that they would come back this way to Lakeland.

Arlington versus Lakeland.... see, the houses in Arlington are almost exactly like the houses here... but newer... and much more expensive... just to put it in perspective, my realtor actually has a house listed in Arlington that is the exact floor plan as this house... exact... it doesn't have our yard, but it is like only 5 years old, were this one is 11. It is on the market for 40,000 more than this house.... shows you what 5 miles will do in Memphis.

Anyways, we will just keep on keeping on... it is getting tiresome... and my parents are getting over having the dogs their all the time... Babysitting is non-existent for us right now because we are over their with the kids so much.

37 days

On the market for 37 days and we just had our 15th showing... the feedback on that one was that they were not at all interested.... but it showed well.

Oh well.

1 showing in every 2.46 days...
in this economy I will take it...

but but but

it is really getting on my nerves.

and I think the foreclosure on the corner sold... so that will get it out of our hair....

Just a waiting game now.. I guess the right people will come along... eventually.

I will just keep watching my new movie until time to move and have something else to do....


"You are like my own personal brand of heroin."... swoon...

Eclipse and Breaking Dawn

I finished them both.

My heart rate, stomach, or nerves have not recovered.

*UPDATE: I totally didn't understand why I was reacting physically to these books like I have been. Shaking so bad I had to read with the book on the table and me standing... I got nauseous after having to put the book down to take G to the eye doctor... Thinking my heart was going to literally jump out of my chest.... then on Wednesday morning when I had those same physically problems.. holy crap? Did I really just get that emotionally and mentally involved in a book?
No...
I forgot to eat.
Last meal was Sunday afternoon and that was a bowl of mac and cheese.
Nice.. right.
so so sad.

Sorry, eventhough I don't hate Jacob...
I am totally

TEAM:


You could even get me this:

Weekend wow...

showings:
#11: Last week... I had told you about this... - they will be revisiting the house this coming week. We are one of 2 they have picked out to revisit and will be deciding.

#12: Saturday morning.. new - ?
#13: Saturday afternoon.. new - He thinks he wants Arlington instead of Lakeland, but liked the house and has not made a decision.
#14: Sunday noonish... new/first time our realtor showed the house - of course the realtor loved it... but people wanted more square footage.... LIKE THE FORECLOSURE ON THE CORNER.
dammit.

I finished Twilight on Friday mid-day... I finished New Moon on Saturday night.

THIS IS LIKE ROMEO AND JULIET ON CRACK PEOPLE... its got me hooked.
Twilight had me all *swoon* oh action..some *swoon* 1 question I was pondering hard.

New Moon had me all *question answered* *swoon* NODONTYOUDARE *are you kidding me* DONTGOTHERE *AH hope!!*wow*SWOON*Dammit bella you ungrateful heifer!!! now I have another question I am pondering hard.

I know that makes no sense, but that is how it makes sense in my head.

J thinks it is funny seeing me so absolutely enthralled in these books.. because I don't read as much as I don't drink water.
:)

But before this, the movie Romeo and Juliet was what I imagined the the idea love was. (This is totally the absolute romantic in me... not so much the reality of it). So completely and consumed by that of your love your heart and soul completely melting together inside your body from the mere thought of that person. A love that not a single other person could imagine... completely abnormal and shocking that it shook even you to the core. A love unimaginable while completely and utterly soul consuming. A love that you felt physically without a touch just as much as you felt emotionally without a word and mentally without a thought... at the same time, left you motionless, exhausted and sleepless.
*I am totally not giving my thoughts justice... I am just not a writer*

Then comes Edward and Bella.
*shutter*
A love I find more consuming than that of Romeo and Juliet...
Because, lets be honest, Edward was right...
Romeo was always kinda fickle.

I hit up Barnes and Noble on Sunday and bought both Eclipse and Breaking Dawn... and I got 20% off the movie... I saw that again too. :)

Sigh

Ok

Only 1 update and won't talk about the house for the rest of the post...
#9 showing on Sunday... still no feedback.. doubt we will get any.. brushing this one off.
#11 Wednesday... The other realtor said "Showed great. This house is one of 2 they are wanting to take a 2nd look at next week. We will call when they are ready to schedule a reshowing with their parents."

And I found out the foreclosure 2 door down from me is going for 15,000 less than what I am on the market for AND it has about 300 square feet more.
Nice.
It has been packed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have decided to start get back to my reading that I had put off. I restarted reading Twilight. I saw the movie the day it came out, but have not finished reading the book... I had just got through the first couple of pages..
I was the type of reader in HS that only read Cliff Notes. I never comprehended the book... I usually don't like reading at all because it takes me FOR.E.VER. to finish.

I started Twilight at about 7:30 last night... I drug my butt to bed at midnight on page 250.
I have watched the movie so I know somewhat of what is going to happen, but it still has a grip.

I need to finish to get to New Moon... so I am taking the day to not make sure the house is spotless, to let the boys have their Movie Friday.. and I am going to finish Twilight...

then stay up til Midnight prolly reading New Moon.
