Well the bad news is that the house didn't sell. I guess the people who wanted to buy it couldn't get the financing, so... back to square one. But our agent says the housing market is taking off again, which is slightly reassuring. I wasn't expecting the house to sell until late spring/early summer anyway, so I'm trying not to be too disappointed. At least we don't have to take Jimmy out of school yet, which is something to be happy about.
In other 'news' the weather improved long enough for us to get outside a couple of times. Patchy sun and highs in the low 40's - yay! Now of course it's raining again and back to the 30's. But in the few days of less crappy weather we finally got out and did some GeoCaching. First expedition went great and we all had a blast, but when we went out again on Saturday we couldn't find any of the caches we looked for and ended up being bored/pissy/frusterated/cold, respectively. At least there was some neat scenery at the last place we stopped. Trying to teach Jim the lesson here - you don't always find what you set out looking for, but hopefully you can enjoy the journey anyway.
Chris' birthday was nice and quiet. We had already gone out for dinner a few days before, so we stayed home and played with the kids and he cooked us a delicious dinner of T-bones and stuffed baked potatoes.
In super creepy news, I want to let everyone know that I had a spider in my ear! You all laughed at my fear of sleeping with my ears uncovered - there was a reason!
EEEWWWW really??? That's awful, I don't know if I would have survived the heart attack that a spider in my ear would have brought on, so kudos on being far braver than me. *shudder*
ReplyDeleteLol! It was only the motherly instinct that saved me... I had just laid down with Kirsi and started nursing her when it crawled out, and I didn't want to freak her out. Silent but crazy! I've never really had a problem with spiders but now I squish them with glee wherever I find them;)
