Houses, R's new furniture, and pictures!




We are house hunting crazy. We've put in two offers and almost two others. The first one we missed by about 3 hours. The second one we had the higher bid, but they used our offer to leverage a better offer from someone else. The one N was really interested in (can you say 4 car garage?) was being inspected as we did our drive-by. Needless to say, I'm getting a little overwhelmed and a bit discouraged. Our budget is tight as we are trying not to have to sell this house until we are moved into something else. So we qualify for only so much with an existing house payment. So... N's been trying to talk me into the renting thing. I’m not sure anyone would have us with all the pets… (more on that later) . That sounds miserable to me. Besides, I like my little house, it's just too small for us now that we are a family of four and not 2.

On top off all that, the kids and I came down with colds. The kids got better, but I got another darn sinus infection. My doctor is starting to get a little worried because I'm getting them every couple of months. My step-mom wonders if there is something in my house/yard/life that might be causing them. Allergies? I don't have a clue, but they make me miserable.

We’ve been trying to find Ginsberg a new home (again). He seems really miserable with the kids and he really deserves a better situation. Bella loves the kids and is very tolerant of R’s antics, but Ginsberg has given us a few incidents leading to us feeling like we don’t quite trust him. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, but I’m committed to finding him a new home.

R’s new furniture arrived on Thursday. We’ve been busy putting his room together.




Here's R up in the top bunk...


So now I'm in the process of turning our guest bedroom into Saff's room. I'll post picture's once I get it complete.

Just love the furniture. And looks like R does too. Are those additional drawers in the steps to top bunk. Super design. Nonna.
