Dh has been working so so much and I need a break from the kids! He is hoping to come home at a normal time tonight and I can't wait. I can't be too excited though cause I feel like I have a minor stomach bug 🙁
We also found a little kitten the other day and brought her home. She is coming out of her shell and of course the kids love her, but Dh wants me to find her a home 🙁 We already have another cat and 2 kittens, so I understand....but poo!
I want to either remodel our house, buy one, or build a new house. It's taking over all my thoughts.
We have sooo much to do to our current house - windows, front siding, entire kitchen remodel, would love to knock some walls down to make it more open and lighter inside, add a deck, etc etc etc. H's friends dad has been supposed to replace our back doors for almost 2 years now (he owns a construction company), but still hasn't happened. H keeps telling me he already got the doors, and blah blah blah when I complain that they aren't done. He was supposed to install them mid July now, but broke his arm I guess and is obviously off work. I know that all of that won't happen at once. But if we have to put another $50k into our house, I'd almost rather move if I can find something I like. Plus we are directly next door to my in laws (there's a woods between us), but I'm feeling smothered by that lately. Our house is large, and we have 12 acres (mostly wooded), so we could get a good price I think for it even with outdated kitchen.
I would LOVE to build, but that seems daunting.
There was a house perfect, but it was over what we want to spend and on the very high side for our area, and now it's pending.

blane12 could you separate your acreage and put a little distance between you and mil, sell the current house on only 1 or 2 acres, and build somewhere else on your tract?
E woke up from his nap, ran to me, fell asleep again. Cute,right? Toddler ran around for 2 hours at playground = stinky plus he keeps tooting in his sleep. The smell.
next tuesday! 6 day countdown. Thankfully H is taking off monday and tuesday and the walkthrough for the ppl buying doesn't happen until monday evening.
Packing is awful but it's going to be worth it! I always find unpacking easier too for some reason. But yes, moving with kids sucks!
Dreading unpacking too, but at least there won't be a time rush with that. We had to pack so quickly to list too that I didn't get to go through and purge before we packed, so probably will be donating and selling a chunk of stuff once we get there.
mlkgls - no we haven't, but that's a good idea. I just started getting restless about this, so haven't taken any action yet other than looking at other places. We were also talking about meeting with someone to tell us approx what we would be looking at for a Reno. My in laws aren't bad- I'm just feeling a little smothered

I would love to build a new house from scratch! But will have to live vicariously. Even good IL relationships benefit with a little space. I adore my MIL, but she's moving in with me in 2 weeks so we'll see if the honeymoon period lasts.
not too much unfortunately! just the worst time of year to try to transplant so not even going to try. We're moving out to Le.a.n.der. Isn't that where you visit?

It is, or at least nearby. My nieces graduated from the HS. That's so disappointing you can't transplant. I hope your buyers are in love with your backyard garden!
