It's been Awhile

Let me explain... blogger does not work for some reason on our laptop, all I can do is read blogs, it won't let me post or comment, which is frustrating (I know it's some JavaScript problem but no clue how to fix it!)! So how am I posting this... well our laptops network quite/stopped/broke last night, so now I am FORCED to use this desktop. Which is ok I guess, as it means I can do a blog post!

So... what do I post about.. hmm it could be about us moving, trying to sell our house (we'll know next tues if the deal goes thru, but i've heard about a handful of peoples deals falling thru on the last day i'm so scared and every time I talk/tell people about it i feel i'm jinxing things- eeeek), house hunting in Edm (Beaumont actually), how much house we canNOT afford, and how depressing that is (re-doing our budget, we really need to do a cheaper morg. not that ours is high right now, but we always accumulate debt each year, and then use our tax return to pay it off, and every year this is so frustrating to me! We need to find a way to NOT get in debt (cheaper morg, less shopping, more accountable to our budget, maybe me working?) each year and then we could have a nice little chunk each year for extras. It seems like Jayme makes good money, but when do the budget it just doesn't stretch that far, and we have no car payments or loan payments! Everything is basically normal or standard for that. Every 2 weeks we only have $200 for 'everything else' ie car repairs, date nights, clothes, trips, extras, school trips/fee's, dentist overages, vehicle registrations, all that stuff that pops up. Uhg. I'm probably disclosing too much but what ever, this is what i'm stressed about and need to vent, lol!

So I got back from Hawaii a week ago tomorrow, and it was amazing, great weather, only 2 days of rain but I had burnt my face so bad it was fine to give it a rest. I had a blast hanging out with Andrea and Dad + Shelley. It was quite relaxing and nice to have a detour from my daily routine. Jayme did AWESOME back at home. So impressed. He never sounded stressed or mad when he called (we talked everyday) and never complained or said "I'm never doing this again" it was nice as I would have stressed if he was stressed. (Thanks sweetie) He showed the house 10times! Which meant packing up the kids (almost always during naps) and keeping the house tidy! He actually got TWO offers while I was a way. One was a really lowball, and they didn't like our counter of only 900 below asking. So it was dead after that, but the other one is good so far.. FINGERS CROSSED!

Oh and have I mentioned yet that possession on our house is April 29th.. so once the deal is firm, we'll have 5.5 weeks to find a house and move. Fun!
