rest for the weary

Poor Mitch is working himself to death with the housework. It's a lot to take care of a 5 person home. Laundry alone is a core even when done faithfully every week. If anyone has ideas to help please tell me. My sister is going to try to come help with the bathroom, a load or two of laundry, and dishes when possible. I'll be 18wks Tuesday and have to start slowing down. So I'm basically taking about moral support I can give him, so he knows I appreciate everything. I can feel the baby a lot now. So awesome. It never gets old. With Addy's Bday in a few short hours I'm reminded of the terrible realities of nicu and the ups and downs of a micro preemie. I'll do anything in my power to keep this baby safe and sound until mid november. Anyway this is taking forever bc I'm in bed on my phone. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Next time..

It went for 40k--our max bid was 35k.  Boo!  I really, really liked that house.  It was weird, I've never been to an auction before, and I didn't even know it was ending.  There was no "going, going, going, gone" like in the shows.  Got some experience for next time.

Auction

We're attending a home auction today at 10am!  Wish us luck!  We're visualizing getting the house for $25,000.  Ready to take the plunge--gotta get back on FB somehow!  Oh and Mitch had an interview yesterday.  They said they couldn't offer anywhere near his current company's insurance/benefits, but they said they had part time positions available for a second job type thing.  It would be cool because he'd be working with CATIA which is the computer program that he learned in all those CAD/CAM classes, buuuuuuut I just don't think there are enough hours in the day.  With work, school, and house stuff it's like he already has 3 jobs.  I guess we'll see if he gets called back for a second interview.  I do feel like I'm having a lot of success with the facebook hiatus.  If nothing else it's got me thinking creatively.  I'm working on a prototype for an invention and also writing a curriculum for some classes.
