48 hours
The last couple of days have certainly been interesting. They've been a real mix of ups and downs, good news and bad news. Perhaps the events have been more than the past 48 hours but I'll just leave the title at that.
On Friday a realtor called to show our house after the monsoon of 6 inches of rain in central IL. I sent Jeremiah's old provider flying over to the house to check our basement for water. While she was there, the potential buyer came in to the house. He introduced himself as someone planning to make an offer on the house! WHOOHOOO!!! By that evening, we were receiving a message indicating that he had some concerns, which frankly we think are bunk. He's just jerking us around.
On Saturday John's parents arrived and we spent some great time with them visiting. Can I just say how nice it is not to factor in time for homework for either one of us on the weekend! Most of our marriage has meant one of us in school, which often overshadowed just enjoying weekends and their flexibility. We also got news that the house was going to be shown again to new potential buyers. Then, that night Jeremiah got sick in the car on the way home from dinner out. We let him have red jello at dinner. argh...
We spent much of Sunday keeping him off of the light colored carpet in the rental house! He's still trying to get his system back to normal but has kept food down since yesterday a.m. and his appetite is returning.
The people that looked at the house on Saturday came back tonight and, from what I could see when I drove by, brought quite the party (5 vehicles). They are going to get their financing in order and will likely be bidding on the house later this week! An even brighter side is that OUR realtor brought them to us, which means she will lower the commission by 1%. Some closure on the house would, at least, make me feel like there was one less weight on us and give me hope to face the next thing weighing on my heart and mind. There's alot I'm dealing with but even one less thing would be helpful.
I'm in central IL for a few days for work and it's been hard to be here. I love coming back but it is also quite the reminder of our life here and even more so of the life we built for our son here. I'm feeling less and less excited about his daycare situation currently and I miss his provider here so much. It would have been WONDERFUL to drop him off at her house like I used to this morning. Another down on the roller coaster.

hang in there on the house thing, I know how good it feels to have that closure, if you are truley unhappy with the daycare, get out of that situation and find someone you feel more comfortable with, if that means you hurt her feelings, so be it, you have to have peace of mind. We were so lucky to have found great providers for our kids, they are out there, u just might have to dig a little!
