Not much to say

The past few days have come and gone and I can honestly say I haven't accomplished much.

Well..

Not much other than
Feeding the kids 3, occasionally 4 meals a day
laundry
diapering
potty training
running a business, dreaming of coming up with a "million dollar idea"
packing lunches
cleaning
dishes

Oh, yeah..

And babysitting a new dog who might come live with us
(breathe, mom, it's ok)

He's a hair smaller than Belle and a terrier-something. A foster dog next door. But he and Belle have sat at the fences howling and whining for each other for days now.

So, we got them together.

The good news is that he's as easy going with the kids as she is, and with him  here, she has someone else to bother rather than us. If we had the option, we'd trade obnoxious Belle for laid back Scout in a heart beat. But that doesn't seem to be an option. Oh, yeah, and he's trained.

He's getting fixed today, I think we'll do a trial with him and her again on Friday.

And we got approved for yet another mortgage.. And discovered that we *could* potentially get a substantially larger mortgage than we were planning on.
But that isn't the plan, still. Although Larry is due for a raise, I'm still counting on that margin in my life.
So we're still in the melee of trying to buy a house at the lower end of the housing market with dozens of other families and hundreds of investors.

We still haven't heard on the last house we bid on- the zero house one. Our real estate agent hasn't sent us the paper work on the 'needs work with pool' house and there is another that Larry expected me to see yesterday that I stubbornly refused to go to see in the middle of the day yesterday.

Oh, yeah.. Larry's project he was working on when my family was here got a standing ovation from the company. Maybe retirement will be in our distant future after all.

And I hear we are appointed on my brother's advisory board. I think the pay will be substantial enough for us to retire as well ;-)  (he he he)
