Wishing for some SW action. Wonder if a fall round is happening this year?

Hoping to get 75% or more of the paperwork to the loan person today. Excited to be moving forward!

Just got an email from our Realtor - "Lisa & Wayne,Just wanted to let you know that the sellers agreed to do all the stuff we asked - they asked me for a recommendation for the radon mitigation and I gave them 2 people I use - so that will be done!"

Still waiting on pins and needles to hear the response to our request to remedy for the house. Also trying to organize all the paperwork needed for the loan to go through. I hate paperwork and organizing and the combo of pregnancy hormones and lack of sleep is making it very difficult to get things done. I just hope everything works out in the end!

Watched Dumbo with the family tonight. Lucy was entranced

Drove by the hopefully soon to be new house today after church. Let Lucy walk around the yard & then we walked to the park that's about 2 blocks/0.5 miles away. Followed by a yummy lunch at Bob Evans. Their bakery makes some really good cookies & cinamon rolls!

3rd night of semi-interrupted 8 hrs of sleep. Hoping to feel some positive results from it today!

Trying to plan out the day's activities. Looks like library, shopping, and home-related phone calls. Just need to keep my feet from swelling while out and about.

OK, this is taking TOO long & Lucy needs her nap soon. Maybe tomorrow I can post pix of the basement. It's divided into 3 parts - the completely unfinished laundry & storage area, and 2 "semi-finished" areas that were painted and tiled, one of which has an awesome workbench and a door & so will probably become Wayne's "man-cave" where he can keep whatever he wants and I don't have to deal with it LOL!

Well, FB and my computer are not playing nicely together any more. Over the past week I've tried everything I could think of. I can either use Wayne's iPod or my parents' computer, which is part of why I haven't had much luck posting pix of the house. We'll see what Wayne & I can work out over the weekend.

Sooooo. . . Today - do I do productive and house related things, or keep my feet up in an attempt to avoid painful swelling and knit and nap while Licy plays?

I haven't added pix to FB in a while. Things have been changed just enough that I am having troubles getting the pix of the house up for you to see! :/grrrrr

Home inspection went well. Pictures & details to follow later today, as we move forward towards owning our own home!

Home inspection night. If things go well, I'll have some pictures of the house to post tomorrow.

26.5 hours until the home inspection. I really wish we didn't have to wait any longer!

Getting ready to start the new week. Lucy starts a new year of preschool and the kids I work with start school, too.

You built your business without any help? Wow! So you didn't use anything you might have learned from a public school? Police didn't help keep the area you worked in safe from crime? You were in no way effected by laws dealing with taxes, business loans, interest rates, or other business related issues? Safe and usable roads, educated employees, the list goes on. You didn't use or need any of this? Wow! That's pretty amazing. No wonder you don't want to help fund any of those things...

On our way home after a pleasant but too short visit with family. Didn't get to see near as many people as I'd like, but it was good to see those we did. Tired now

Portions of the household are getting ready for a long day spent mostly in the car. Looking forward to seeing some family!

Home inspection is set for Tuesday evening. Waiting anxiously until then :/

Stressed out + keyed up + pregnant & in the last trimester= lots of trouble sleeping. Oh well.

They accepted the offer! Now on to the home inspection!

Seriously needs to come up with a decent write-in candidate for Nov

WE FOUND A HOUSE! I'm not gonna bother posting a link, because there is only one picture and it has to be the least flattering angle they could have picked. It's in an older, stable neighborhood, is about the size of my parents' house but with a basement. It was very well made (back in the 60's) and well maintained. It's priced VERY low, making it possible for us to afford both a 20% down payment and still have money for repairs, furniture, etc. We'll be making an offer today!

Wondering what sort of thought process leads to saying a phrase like "legitimate rape" even as mistake or accident.
