Apples to Apples

We had the kids last night, and as my last post proves, I was really in need of an attitude adjustment.  I got home after work (I did about zip all day) and R had made dinner. The girls were upstairs working on a puzzle and N was watching Empire Strikes Back.  Dinner was good, but towards the end chaos started to reign. I could see R getting closer and closer to bubbling over.  So I told the kids that we’d play a game after I was done cleaning up. The girls went upstairs (acting crazy) and N went back to the movie. R went to the couch and crashed.

After cleaning up we played Apples to Apples until it was time for R to take them home. They were ridiculous. It was as if we had put 12 gallons of sugar in each kid! It was quiet when they left. When he got home R was in a state because they were still wild on the way home. I told him that was why I was trying to keep them out of his hair. He left, and then came back and said, “Thanks for that.”

Tonight is just us. We have 2 property management companies coming to look at the townhouse for rental purposes. Then we’ll make a decision tonight and hopefully get the place listed this weekend or earlier. Once we have a renter I’ll feel much better about the move. We MUST find a renter for April 1. We simply can’t afford to pay 2 mortgages and our other bills. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out. I know it will, but I just need to have this done.

Then it will be all about packing and moving.  Ugg.
