Attempting to Buy a House Sucks

Since the property that started this whole buying a house/moving thing isn't available, we decided to keep looking. Seeing as how we had already given our landlord our 30 day notice, and started hauling our stuff over to Michael's mom's house, we didn't have much choice but to continue in the plan to move. We knew it might fall through, but we didn't know what an epic failure it would be.

We have an awful realtor it would seem. We give her lists of houses we would like to look at. She gives us lists of reasons that she can't/won't show them to us. She also decided that we were not interested in shorts sales. And since Michael told her that that we were in fact interested in short sales, she has not emailed us back in 2 days. Which is a pretty long time, considereing that she usually writes back in a efw hours.

Se we have seen about 2 houses so far. Including the one we can't have.

Unfortunately, because of my job (baby-sitting at my house) I can't just move to any house we'd like. It has to remain a reasonable drive for the families of the kids I watch. So we are pretty limited. Hopefully we find something.

Manipulatives Monday GIVEAWAY from Mother Goose Time - closed

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news! Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time is giving away a great prize! One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives! Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house. Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts. The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways. During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters. These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites. They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...

God Made You Just Right by Jill Roman Lord - A Review

Most of the books I review are for adults, but I got a chance to review God Made You Just Right, which is a board book. From the back of the book: You're brilliantly created, and there's no one else like you! With simple, rhyming text and whimsical illustrations, this book is a welcome reminder for little ones that God created each of us in just the right way. I love the artwork, it is colorful and engaging, which should catch the attention of small children, but still nice to look at for adults. The text is encouraging and has a good rhyme pattern, which I always appreciate in books for small children. It isn't a story, but poetry telling children that God knew exactly what He was doing when He created each part of each person. I love that it talks about the things you uniquely need to be able to fulfill God's plan for you. At the end of the book is Jeremiah 29:11, which gives scriptural support to the rest of the book. My only...
