I went house hunting again today. The house mentioned in an earlier post was hated by Jason. I think he was right. It was not so good. So we upped the price range in our search and received almost 200 listings. I went to 5 houses today. Four of them were just crap. They were cramped, not good quality, bad yards and not where I would want to live. The fifth one was a nice house, but no yard and not a good neighborhood. I guess up to a point, all houses are going to be crap. Am I being too picky? That's a lot of money to just settle on something, but I'm not going to find something completely perfect. I'm a bit disappointed because house hunting is one of my most favorite things to do, but I'm not allowed to buy houses like other women buy shoes. I need patience. It's not like I want to move over Christmas anyways. I've got plenty to keep me busy, but I'll go nuts over January and February like every year before. I get bored easily.

Did terrorists destroy the sun or something? What the heck?!

Oh What a Night...

I had a weird day yesterday. It may have been hormones. I started out angry at Jason and by lunch time I liked him again . By the afternoon I was depressed and dragging. Then I went to see a house for sale that I really liked so I was excited and anxious to tell Jason about it. Then I had to go babysit at church and was afraid I would drag again so I drank some coffee around 6pm. Whoops. Babysitting went alright, no spurt of energy or anything. When I got home at 9:30 I got excited again to tell Jason about the house. Now I could feel the caffeine. And did I mention I skipped supper? I'm running on chemicals at this point. I was jittery and couldn't sit still. We went to bed at midnight, I think. I was able to lay still but my mind was racing. At 1am I tried reading. I got tired of reading. I tried praying. By 3:30 I was at the computer. By about 4:30 my body started to crash so I went to bed. Once in bed my body felt fine and my mind was awake. I made a conscious effort to empty my mind. That's a lot harder than it sounds, at least for women. I catch Jason not thinking about anything quite often. I don't know how men do that. Anyways, I had to keep shushing my own thoughts. This relaxed me and I layed comfortably until 6:30 when the room got brighter and the seriousness of the situation really hit me. I had finally got my mind and body comfortable and still couldn't sleep. So I did the only thing I could think of. I woke Jason up. I'm running on fumes today. This is not good, as I have Thanksgiving preparations to make. I'm not sure if I should be driving. Oh yeah, don't forget the wishlist.

Just finished tiling the backsplash. That is all.
