I miss Coke so much I could cry
The girls and I all have our first colds of the season. At first I was going to blame preschool, then I heard Jamie's TKD teacher and realized he's as bad off as we are. Rex is, as usual, unaffected. The bastard.
I cannot believe how long this pregnancy is taking. I'd swear I've been pregnant for at least 6 months by now, and yet I'm just over 14 weeks. Maybe it's because this is one of the crappiest parts of pregnancy: I'm gaining weight, but I don't have a bump, it's too early to shop, I've been feeling like crap and couldn't complain about it because no one knews, and I haven't even had the comfort of an ultrasound. The good news is that most of that should be changing soon.
I'm starting to seriously consider making an offer on that foreclosure house again. They've dropped the price AGAIN, and interest rates should be falling since the Fed lowered interest rates again. The timing is a little off, since even with a November 1 closing and two months for repairs and an easy move, we would still be paying rent and mortage together for five months. That's a lot of wasted money right there. Plus, I'm just not sure I'm ready to give up the Austin dream yet, and buying here now pretty much locks us in.
So many things to think about, so little I can actually do.

How frustrating that they didnt just take your earlier offers the first time? I wonder if they feel like total dolts for not taking it when now they cant sell it.
The timing part is hard with the rental, but it doesnt seem like a bad idea to get a house with the thought that you wouldnt ever "have" to move again unless it was really something you wanted to do. I have no idea what the prospects are for Austin.

I'm torn between wishing they had taken the first offer, and being glad they didn't, since we can get it waaay cheaper than that now.
And the prospects for Austin right now? Non-existent. But things change so quickly...

Well, I suppose you could use that to justify a little of the extra rent... that you saved some on the cost. Though I do realize the wasted money does suck all around.
