We gotta get out of this place
Last week, Ladybug got to spend some time with my parents back in Arkansas. They begged and pleaded for her to stay graciously allowed her to stay while Dr. D and I returned to Michigan to do some serious house hunting (and recuperating).
Well, I didn’t really get much accomplished last week. I was recovering from the two-month-long festival of illness that has plagued my house for, well, two months. Sore throats were the main culprit, but the week that we were in AR, a gross cough consumed both Ladybug and me. I chalked it up the stupid blooming Bradford Pear trees, but I’m not sure if it was really allergies or not. I’m still not 100%, but I am certainly feeling better. The copious amounts of NyQuil I consumed last week HAD to help with that, right? More likely, it was the sleep that the NyQuil allowed me to get, but I digress. I feel better and that’s all that matters.
While the little one was away, I was able to look at a few houses that interested us, but overall, I think we know which one we want. The only problem is, it’s occupied. The owners had a baby in February (my birthday, actually) so they kind of stopped looking for a bit. I know that they are still open to the prospect of moving into a larger home, but I’m not sure how quickly this deal could be executed. We are pursuing it, but I’m growing impatient with this tiny duplex. I’m ready to close and move TODAY!! I so desperately want to move out of this place.
This is a picture of Ladybug coloring at our 4-top kitchen table. I turned my computer around to get the pic with photobooth. See the stretch of kitchen cabinets behind her? Yeah. That’s all there is. less than two feet on one side of the sink where we have to store the crock-pot (notice the fruit dish ON TOP of the crock-pot), and only about three feet on the other side where the dish drying rack and microwave are housed. The kitchen table is our saving grace in here. We use it for a desk, craft table, island, and general surface to set stuff down. I would just LOVE to have at least one stretch of true counterspace that wasn’t occupied by a piece of kitchen crap equipment. The worst part of it all? See the sweet pink dish brush on the sink? Yeah. That is our dishwasher. It is not automatic.
But, my kiddo is back and life is returning back to normal. I missed her terribly and it seems she has changed so much. I always swear that a “week is too long and I’ll never do it again.” We’ll see. I doubt it will be her last vacation with the grandparents.

Oh yeah, that is a tiny kitchen. Well, the AR house sold, so hopefully you’ll be able to move soon.
Lovin’ how serious Ladybug looks there. Is she a leftie? Or can’t you tell yet?
