Get your mind out of the gutter. Not that “it”.
And, no, we didn’t find a house. But, we did find an area! In all of Chicagoland, we finally found where we want to be. It’s a great area, not too far from downtown where Dan will be working. There are [...]

So we arrived at the first house today ahead of our realtor.  It turned out she witnessed an accident on the way to meet us and the police wanted a statement from her.  Those damn cops.
Anyway, when we arrived at the house, we got the kids out so they could run a little while they [...]

I think we’ve seen 40+ houses over the last three days. More to come. The Little Boys are really handling things pretty well, but it isn’t fun for any of us. Finally this morning they got a break and went swimming with Dan for a while. In a bit we’re heading [...]

Well, I don’t have to clean my own towels.  And I get to borrow movies for free.  Then there’s… ummmm… well, nothing else I can think of at the moment.  Oh, I know.  I can wash three loads of laundry all at the same time.  For free, too!  That’s pretty exciting.

Appraisers, inspectors, and bankers, OH MY!
So far, so good on the house.
Of course, we still have no where to go…

As you know from my “Sold!” post yesterday, our afternoon ended on a positive note.
The day, however, did not start out quite so successfully.
I guess I’m going to have to stop drinking my stress away in the evenings so I can get up earlier in the mornings. When one or more of the kids [...]

Okay, well maybe “sold” is a little strong yet.  But, a contract has been signed!
Um… we have to be out of our house three weeks from today. And we have nowhere to go.
Scary.

I feel like smashing something. I have all of this nervous, pent-up energy and no where to go with it. But, if I start throwing things, my kids will think it’s a free-for-all and then we’ll never be able to sell the house.
I hate being so out of control. I can’t stand [...]
