We put an offer in on a house several weeks ago. We kind of low-balled, but they were way over priced. They rejected, and didn't even counter, lol. They dropped the price a few times, we made a verbal offer, and they said they wanted to see first if they got any interest at the new price. Well, Friday, our agent called us- they want to know if our offer still stands. We went to see the house again Saturday. I still love it. I've felt all along like this is the house for us. It's definitely at the top of our price range, but this will be it for us until we downsize once dss and dd are grown. So we sent over the paperwork yesterday, and we're just waiting for them to sign.
We also got an offer on our house. We gave our agent our counter offer Saturday evening. Talked to her yesterday evening- she hasn't even presented our counter offer, because the buyer's agent hasn't returned her call. She said she's never heard of an agent not returning calls in the middle of a negotiation.
DH was OOT Tues-Sat last week, caught a cold while he was gone and spent Sat evening and all day yesterday being all man cold-y, and then left again this morning and is gone until Wednesday. And now my throat hurts and I'm congested. I am going to be pissed if he managed to be nearly useless for his day and a half home AND get me sick in the process.
We did have an awesome conference with DD's teacher before he left this morning, so that's good. This teacher really gets my kid <3
For the last week or so I've been fighting a clog and bleb on my left boob and I'm so OVER IT. It's seriously making me consider ending my pumping journey. UGH.
I was so stressed during our buying/selling earlier this year.
My kids have tomorrow and Friday off this week. It's gonna be a long week.
We have our Disneyland trip planned and southwest cancelled the only non-stop flight home from john Wayne, so we ended up changing both flights in and out of Ontario. I've never been to that airport- anyone know how it is?

Super small and very easy to navigate. Not a ton of food options but the lines are short and people are friendly.

I was sick yesterday, David last night, H came home sick from work. I didn't send Lucy to school bc I figured she's a ticking time bomb. I'm so anxious already and this sick stuff is a big stressor for me. I'm worried I did the wrong thing.
Bernadine Good luck with everything! It took us just over two months to find and buy our house and I was anxious every single day until settlement. Crossing my fingers for you.
I took a mental health day today. I've had a splitting headache since Saturday, I think due to a massive ulcer I have on the inside of my cheek that is radiating pain into my face, I am sleeping shittier than ever, and I just need a day to rest.
Pansuit Nation on FB has totally turned my attitude around about tomorrow. I'm back to being excited and feeling like HRC will win. I am nervous about what will happen in the wake of her win, but trying not to think about it today or tomorrow.
We're watching 'Home' for the twelve millionth time. It was cute the first few times but omg I'm ready for a new movie now.
I'm going to start pursuing a masters in speech language pathology. It's going to be a long road bc I don't have the right undergrad but I'll get there. I'm excited. Any SLP's around that want to give me any sage advice?
I'm so anxious about tomorrow. And it's a busy week anyway, so that's not helping. Basketball practices, gymnastics, H is traveling for work T-W, I have a work function Wednesday night (parents will have to babysit, do bball practice), kids conferences on Thursday and then the kids have Friday off. I need all the wine.
I was so busy this weekend. I can't believe all I got done.
Our season ticket package started Saturday. We saw Darren Criss in Hedwig and the Angry Itch. Having only seen him on Glee, really, I was BLOWN AWAY to see him portray this character, and in platform high-heeled boots! He was fantastic! Although I did make a big mistake in our ticket package - I chose matinees because I thought it would be easier to get in and out of LA mid-day...lololololol. Am I brand new? We spent 4 hours in the car Saturday. I think we're either going to go early and get some pre-show brunch or plan on staying overnight for our upcoming shows.

YES. I feel so much more hopeful. Still anxious but hopeful, too. I really love the stories that are being shared on there. And how positive it is. Like most people are just talking about why they support HRC and how her policies would personally affect them and why this election is so important to them. I feel like if it was a Trump page, all it would be is people bashing HRC.

I sat down last night with a planner and started all over. I need to get my life on track.
My heel is killing me, and its killing my half marathon training in return. Only 7 weeks and I dunno if I'll be ready.
I want to go on a church mission trip next summer when my kids are with their dad. My church goes to Ghana and Haiti and I'm sure my gym would help me fundraise for it. It's something I've really been thinking about.
My H literally said to me this morning, "What can we do to help all of this" and then motioned to my pig stye side of the bedroom. This was while I was brushing DS's teeth. On a Monday morning. When I have to go back to work at a place that has be come a shitshow. He's not wrong, and he was genuinely coming at it from a perspective of "do you need more storage, more time...?" and trying to be helpful.. But idk how I managed to not explode.
I feel like everything is wrong right now, and idk how to fix anything. And it's all such STUPID shit, but when that pile of stupid shit makes up your entire day, it's really hard to fight through it with a smile. I'm trying, but I'm so tired.

ontario is the closest airport to me. it's wonderful - small, easy, convenient. it's a little further from disneyland than SNA, but really not that bad. you'll be fine.SaveSave

I'm already having weekend withdrawals. DH and I were kidless so we just laid around doing absolutely nothing and it was awesome. We joked and laughed so much that my belly is sore this morning. I love that feeling.
Im taking a friend to lunch for her birthday at a Mexican place that has happy hour all day long. I cannot wait.
I'm trying to motivate myself to get up and go to the gym. I need to get this job because I'm losing motivation to be a productive member of society who DOESN'T live in a bathrobe
BF just told me he ordered me an early Christmas present so we could have it this weekend. Im thinking maybe he meant next weekend bc we're going to Charleston for a wedding and we dont have any plans for this weekend, lol. Hmmm....and yaaaaayyyyyy!!

Kids are embarrassing and funny. My cousin got married yesterday. His daughter (8) was the flower girl. She stopped at Allie during her walk down the asile to have a conversation about the flowers. H had to tug on Allie to be quiet and motion for flower girl to keep moving.
I'm trying to be as productive as possible to make today go fast. The kids are off school tomorrow so I am off also. Taking B with me to vote tomorrow. The school set up a kids voting area and will tally votes along with the regular election. She is so excited, I love it!
aeg511 it really is a nice small airport. Easy to get in and out from. You will be fine it's is the closest airport to me.
I'm so excited about tomorrow, I can't wait to go vote!
I was just curios about it- big, small, busy, slow, etc.
Thanks

Small there are two terminals and they have it setup up so it's super easy to get in and out of. even the area around the airport is not busy, it is an old industrial area that empty now. It's busier in the morning but I think that's normal.
ETA- technically there's 4 but I've never been to the other 2. I don't really know where they are. Southwest is Terminal 4 and it shares it with maybe 2 other airlines?
Best of luck Bernadine, I hope everything gets settled quickly.
I'm feeling on top of my game today. I hope it lasts throughout the day at least. Kids are off school today and tomorrow but I was able to get two hours of work in before they even woke up! I'm flying through our DVR shows and still being productive with my work stuff too.
Kids soccer is over so we get some time back during the week and they can get back to karate on Saturdays. DD's team did place second after having to play three games in one day! Weekends have been busy and I don't see that changing but I keep reminding myself that it is a good thing. I just need to manage my schedule better during the week to still get things accomplished.
I would be lying if I said I didn't want to just go home and drink until the election is called.
I'm fighting the urge to do this, too.
I need to get to the gym and be productive. I'm just so anxious/excited/nervous. I not only hope she wins I want her to kick his ass. I want him to be humiliated.

With being up all night with the dog (seriously, I don't know how parents do it - props to you big time!), I ended up with a new game app addiction - Eggs, Inc. Killer.
I think I'm going to join weight watchers. Low carb was always my go to plan, but it's obviously not sustainable, and I can't keep gaining and losing the same 20 lbs. I'd like to lose 50, so hopefully this will work.
And I keep having dreams about meeting up with people I haven't seen in 10 years, and I'm always so embarrassed that I've gained so much weight and it's all I can think about in my dream, lol. I need to do something.
I'm working from home today because Downtown Chattanooga is filled with smoke from wildfires. I stayed at work for about two hours, but our building is older and it was misery for me. Apparently I'm allergic to whatever is burning. Not everyone had it as bad as me. My throat was tight and scratchy, my eyes were watering, and my ears felt tight.
I didn't even realize it actually was uncomfortable to breathe until I got out of the city. That threw me off a little bit. Glad I decided to leave and work from home. Thankful I have a company that encouraged it.
I got the impression that Rabia does NOT like Sara K, did you feel the same way?
Yes. And I think Sara K doesn't like the Undisclosed team (but I got that from the Criminal Injustice podcast, not the book). I do think Rabia has always been careful to give Sara credit where credit is due. She has always said that without Sara, they wouldn't be where they are. But yeah, I don't think they get along particularly.
