so ron and i are having a back and forth over email about the house, and furniture, and moving, and looking for a new house, and his job applications.... and suddenly i get a nasty terse reply to an innocent comment and then silence.
**blink**
ok, i think, it's a bad day. no problem. heh... little did i know....
he comes back on a few hours later, with an eloquent and bashful apology, stating that the reason he freaked out was because he caught gracie in her room, up to her elbows in the diaper pail, with a "big baseball-sized ball of poop" in her hand... which she wanted to hand to him.
BWAHAHAHAHAA!! course, i wasn't there, so i think it's funny. he probably broke the sound barrier whishing her to the bathtub. my husband is ok with diapers, and barf and stuff, but i guess this one pushed him over the edge.
pray for him: he's trying to nap it off now. i'm still chuckling a bit, i admit it. :P
meanwhile, in house news.... we feel good about oshawa, but i am less confident than ever that it is going to work out the way i imagined. i love the space and the lack of maintenance, so that's good. there are playgrounds right in the complexes, which is wonderful. but we are not going to eliminate our debt, more like cut it in half, which isn't horrible, but not great either (i *so* want it GONE). and the commute is going to be the same, though i will never have to take a bus again, which means i will never have to barf in my lap and then carry it all the way home again, which is very very good. we will be much farther from my parents, but much closer to my brother and gg's 2 cousins. and much closer to my best friend and her 2 kids, one of which is a girl only 4 months younger than gg. very good. but it won't be the life-changing financial makeover i was hoping for, and when ron has to come up with tuition in august.... well, we might be right back at square one financially. really i think what will make the most difference in the end is ron having some kind of part time work that brings in $100 bucks a week or so... grocery money. or savings money, or gg's money, or whatever.... just some extra cash so we're not so desperately strapped all the time. are we nuts to go to all the trouble of moving, for mediocre results? *are* these mediocre results? will they make a big difference? is that loosening all i need to be more comfortable? will it all go to pot when we need to come up with more tuition, or have another baby?
i just want to be out of debt. so bad, it hurts. i've carried a huge credit card balance for years, and i'm sick to death of it. i want it gone.

Shelley. I owe Ron $8.00 in duty for the secret santa gift I sent. Is it legal to send American cash to Canada? I'm not kidding.
I hope one of you posts before and after pics of the flooring project -- I love home improvement projects! Do not post pictures of poo-balls, though. No, no. Don't need to see that!
you don't owe me anything...and if you keep it up I'll send you pictures of a poop ball :p
I'll make sure to get before and afters of the baby's floor before they do it tomorrow...
The poop ball was absolutely a riot, and Ron needs to be thankful she was handing it to him and not eating it. They do that you know...Ron...sometimes, not that any of my angels ever did that. Oh thanks be to God! I would have died right there, on the spot.
Decisions decisions, I'm sure what ever you two decide will be right for you, you are thoughtful intelligent folks.
I know what you mean about the credit card debt and wanting it gone, me too hon, me too.

Shell,
Thank you for your comment in my blog on my flipped out post. I really appreciated your empathy, sharing, and advise, for real.
The doc gave me Effexor this time, we'll see how it goes. I am going to do some research on celexa, man I wish I had known about it the other day, I've been on Effexor for five days...
Maybe I can call the doctor tomorrow and ask for a call back.
I really appreciate you Shell, so much.
xx, Lori
