Tantrums

Ugh I just need to vent! Harley will be 10months later this week and the tantrums are becoming RIDICULOUS! I'm talking tantrum about everything! Heaven forbid you take something away from her, or move her, or put her in the car, or don't feed her fast enough..... the world may come to an end.

The worst culprits for inducing an all out scream, yell, make mean faces tantrum are:::

1. Riding in the car. Of course the girl gets the most padded and most comfortable seat in the car. It has a built in head rest and a gentle recline to lull her to sleep. Does that work? No. From the second we get in the car to the second we get out she turns the ride into a living HELL. Scream, yell, gurgle... you would think someone was killing her. The worst part? The giant smile she gets when she sees you open her door to get her out. It just reinforces the fact that she was FAKING IT!

2. Mom eating. O-M-G. You would think the world is coming to an end. If I EVER eat anything without her, no matter how full she is, she has a cow. She will stand there and look devestated. When that doesnt work she will cry, when that doesnt work she will look at me, get angry, and yell at the top of her lungs. Its becoming a problem for us.

HOWEVER. Even with our tantrum problem I still am the luckiest girl in the world to have such an amazing little girl. She is pretty much the best ever and I just need to keep it in perspective. One thing that helps is reading this blog

They are an amazing and inspiring family who lost their daughter (who was a year older than Harley) earlier this year. Their faith makes me want to be a better person and every time I read her posts I bawl like a baby and want to go hug my little girl. I totally recommend reading it, but I would do it in private, because all the tears could make people uncomfortable :):)

CONTGNT Fin/Ins

Yep! That means contingent on financing and insurance and it's the new status of the house we just put an offer on! And they accepted! FINALLY! We are having our inspection done Sunday and the loan paperwork is being drawn up as we speak. We are trying not to get overly excited after losing 4 straight houses (was it 4? I'm losing count now. Harley, Dodridge, Arlington... ok only 3, this is #4) Well anyway we saw it once and the tenant was in there and all of his dirty stuff and he looked really sad so it was hard to take too good of a peak at it. We actually put an offer in as a curb offer meaning we never even saw the inside before we put in our offer, but it turned out well! Its 3 bedrooms 1.5 baths, needs some love but we are ready for that. Hopefully I can take some pictures during the inspection (barring no termite damage or a rotting roof or something, that would be our luck!) And hopefully we will be first time home owners next month!!!! Only problem, the tenant has 60 days to vacate. So its possible that we could own the house and still have a tenant for another month.... LAME!

Here it is! Wish us luck!
