Okay, so I've done very poorly today. No exercise. No housework apart from a few loads of laundry and some light kitchen cleaning. Ate a lot of leftover cornbread and had Red Lobster for dinner--Ranch dressing, fried stuff, and dessert. Spent most of the day searching the MLS and making notes. We got our loan approval today, so I'm chomping at the bit to view more houses. We'll get to go Saturday afternoon.
Went to the American Girl store to get Kit for Violet's birthday. She chose to have that over the traditional birthday hotel night with Mom, going out for dinner, and/or having a party. I told her I'd have to talk to her dad about it and we'd let her know Saturday night. Her birthday is next Tuesday, but on Saturday night, I'm throwing her a little party at our next door neighbor's. Violet drew a picture of her "pretend" birthday party and I'm going to try to recreate her picture, right down to the cake, the fireworks, the color of the giftwrap, and the Christmas stocking hanging on the cake table. ;) Our neighbors have frequent bonfires and the girls love to go, so she will be so surprised when she finds out it's for her. Can't wait! That's assuming that she is well by then. I had to reschedule my interview with the pregnancy crisis center (as a volunteer!) so I can take her to the doctor tomorrow. She's had fever that she hasn't been able to shake for a few days and she's coughing up a storm. Pretty sure it's turned into an infection by now.
We got home late, so I didn't do our bible reading and prayer with the girls, which made us all sad. Violet coughs through so much of it, though, that she's happier in bed.
I am SO excited at the prospect of having another house. If you think I'm neurotic now, wait till you see me with a fresh, empty house. We are going to move in VERY slowly, so there are no boxes and no STUFF piled up ANYWHERE! As soon as anything comes into the house, it will go to its home.
So I failed at my goals today, but wanted to make sure I made it here and I did. See you tomorrow. :)
