A little mid-week this and that

Spirit was much better last night with his attitude about his presents. He told us at dinner that he is so excited for Christmas and "I hope everyone likes what I bought them for Christmas!".... NOW that's more like it!!! Phew. I am so glad his little attitude changed. Now if he can continue on with the good attitude for another 6 days we will be in good shape! *fingers crossed*

Lefty woke up with pink eye in his right eye and it is already moving to the left eye. Mr. Man had court for a traffic ticket this morning so when he is done he is going to either take care of Lady Bug while I take Lefty to the doc or vise versa.

I am not done Christmas shopping and am a tad bit stressed out about it. What I wanted to get for Mr. Man I can't find anywhere! UGH!

Lefty had 2 accidents in the middle of the night and Lady Bug had one..... that was a lot of fun. NOT!

The house we really liked probably isn't going to work out after all. We went to the school yesterday and both Mr. Man and I were not comfortable there. I asked to see the school's "Progress Report" and they scored Low overall with "no improvement in student testing scores". That isn't very comforting. The school the boys are in now scored Average overall with "improvement in student testing scores". The other school had "several reported incidents of students with concealed weapons" our current school has "no reported crimes"

There is another house we like in the area we are in now but it is priced a little high and we can't really low-ball too much because it has only been on the market for 3 weeks.

Our realtor isn't that great and I think we need to find someone else! She won't return our calls, sometimes for a couple days. Once we saw a house we wanted to look at -- it took her 6 hours to get that arranged (which may not have been her fault) AND was 35 minutes late for the showing. We camped outside waiting and waiting and finally Mr. Man called her and she said "I will be there shortly. Thanks." and hung up.

So I am hoping to stop at one more store today to look for Mr. Man's gift and if I can't find it he gets a sweater (LOL)

The things we have to worry about as parents... I don't like our neighborhood school either, so Ciara goes to a charter school. I love it!

P.S. I also have a GREAT realtor if you want a referral. What area of town are you guys looking in (you can email me if you don't want to post for the world to see!)

Yep. Sounds like you need a new realtor...

I'm glad you thought to actually check out the school before purchasing the house. That school sounded a little scary.
