busy day

not sure if i could clasify today as a work day! my work email isn't working and well anyways i said to them they would see me after labor day - its called "slow re-entry".

what a complicated day - but we've pulled it off. now lux is in bed, huxley is having his last cry out and finger suck, geoff is at home depot (his head nearly exploding from what lies ahead of us with prepping this house to buy another) and likely panicking about going back to a family of two adults working (i think he will have the hardest adjustment to it all in some ways).

back and forth back and forth between the our house, the new house, fred meyer, home depot, pre school, playdate, peps dinner (my NEW mommy group) and more work to be done to prep our family room for painting. so the new house has some electrical work needed, a new tempered glass sliding door, and has two cracks in the sewer line (thankfully in relatively easy places to fix). glad we paid for extra inspections to have a very clear understanding of the home, certainly no deal breakers but things to be addressed. we will see what the seller is prepared to provide back to us as credits since the woman is too old to coordinate the work herself.

noteworthy news about the home - the drummer from Guns and Roses lives 2 doors down, funny since its a bit of a snooty, boring neighborhood to have a head banger living in AND most importantly it is THE street for trick or treating - so there, that certainly improves the value of the home. OH and no power lines, all the power lines are buried underground, talk about snooty. anyways i guess we will meet the drummer at least on halloween when we trick or treat at his home, wonder what candy he gives out?

so thats all i have, excited about the house, feels good in a way to move, i have bags to go to the good will, to the dump etc, cleaning house!
