This week we have been in and out of the Doctor’s office, tomorrow it is my turn, and Saturday too(eye appointment). Fun stuff for nico. I hope after that I’ll be done for a while.
Dakota is back home from her vet. visit, she is happy to be home, but she is barking constantly. I think she forgot what her backyard was. We are glad to have our little guard dog home.
Thade is napping, and I’m getting a few things done around the house. I haven’t taken out the trash yet, but I did get cookies made.
O.k. I know this is all that I can talk about, but it is truly all that I can talk about right now. I just got the phone call from our closer and we are good to go for Friday! I can’t believe it, we signed the contract over a month ago, and we are now ready to go! I can’t wait! I am ready to close today. We are almost all packed, I’ve been working on the kitchen today, and I’ve gotten all my shoes out of my closet. I’m hardly sleeping out of excitement, I hope I can wait until Friday.
I’ve been on the phone all day it seems, with the realtor, the closer, the insurance company, and the many utility companies to get our address changed before Friday. I’m only about halfway done with the address changes, the list keeps growing. Thade has been a little grumpy today, but I don’t blame him, this is going to be a hectic week, and it is only Monday.
I was sick all day yesterday, with a migraine, but we still got lots packed. Our living room is a huge mess, it has become the landing pad for all the boxes. I’m down to bare bones in my closet, and my next to tackle is the kitchen. I am so excited, I can’t wait for FRIDAY!
I had to run to the store after dinner last night, I needed exactly three things: milk, bread, and bananas. I had to go to the store that I am not too fond of, no matter how many items you need, it takes 20 minutes in checkout.Thade and I got ready and he was really happy to go, we grabbed my bag and headed out.
He was happy to be in the car, singing,”mommy’s car”. This will be easy, I thought. We pulled up to the store and immediately he started saying “car cart”. We had to go to the store with the really cute shopping carts that are car shaped so the kids can drive around while you shop. How can he possibly remember that this is that store? “Wanna walk”he exclaimed as I got him out of his car seat. We made it in, and no car carts on the side that we have ventured in to. I grabbed a basket and headed to the produce. Thade happily put bananas in the basket, only two items to go. We walked clear across the store to get a loaf of bread, which Thade picked out, and happily put in the basket. Finally milk, we were home free,just gotta make it to checkout.
Oh yeah, 10 items or less(isle #10), this isle is a rarity for me, and then disaster struck. We were near the other entrance where a little girl was happily getting in a car cart. Thade had spotted it, and immediately pulled my hand towards the cart. No one was at the check-out, so we had to move back across the store to find a checkout line that was open. “Car cart” Thade screamed, and he dropped to the floor, in a two year old protest against us checking out. I picked him up and made the long journey towards a smiling cashier all the way to isle #1, while Thade is kicking and screaming. We checked out quickly, and Thade was beet-red from screaming. Another cashier offered him a sticker, and he usually loves them, but not this trip. “NO STICKER CAR CART” he screamed in the most guttural tone I have ever heard. I thanked them for their vast patience, and we exited the store.
He wanted to walk, and then threw yet another tantrum getting to the car, and attempted to lay down in the parking lot, so I scooped him up and quickly made it to the car. Kicking, screaming, and tears streaming down his bright pink cheeks, I got him back in the car seat. I felt defeated, I took a deep breath, and called my mom. She told me that it was a right of passage, and I was officially the mom of a two year old. I felt better, she always cheers me up. We headed home.
Today I need to go out and pick up my prescriptions, but I don’t know if I am feeling that brave. At least we have to go to the other store, the one without the car carts.
We should have the appraisal on the new house tomorrow, and that should be the last thing that needs to be done before we can close. I’m so excited, and anxious to move! It is still almost three weeks before we will be in the new home, and it is driving me crazy. I haven’t started packing yet, and I know that I need to. I don’t like to pack, I often worry that I will need something that I have already packed. Hopefully the time will pass quickly, it is really hard to wait.
