Spent

What a crazy month its been! I was ready to call it quits at just a week in. Here is a little recap of whats happened so far this month.

We started house sitting for some people and it was no small task. They have a HUGE house, 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 3 foreign exchange students. All had to be fed and cleaned up after. On top of their dogs, we had our dog, and our friends dog.

We had the inspection done on our house. Luckily nothing major needed to be changed.

On the 10th -13th we went to Utah for a family reunion and baby shower for Linda. Yes, if anyone has not heard it from someone else, or picked up on the giveaways I accidentally dropped (I seriously did accidentally mention it in my post about my new car. Oops), Linda and I are having a baby boy. So that makes things even crazier.

While we were gone on our trip, one of the students (at the house we were sitting) let the dogs roam free in the house and they popped everywhere.

Linda fell and hurt her back. Twice. Sorry Linda but I figured most people have heard already. Basically she has new feet and is still trying to learn how to operate them.

One of the dogs we were watching, stopped eating for 4 days. Turned out he ate a long string of plastic that got wrapped around his intestines. We found that out when I had to help him pass it. Yeah. That was fun.

We ended our house sitting early, found some replacements, took the sick dog and moved back home. Which is a mess and now we get to pack everything so we can move in a week. Good thing because the day after we left one of the water heaters exploded and flooded the basement.

I am currently working on designing a sliding gate for the fence I get to build on our new property, and hunting to find a good deal.

We purchased a washer and dryer this last weekend, along with a $200 jogging stroller we found at a garage sale which we got for 15 bucks. Deal of the year right there.

And that pretty much bring you up to speed. I'm spent already. And before the month is up, we get to pack, close on our house, move, unpack, stain a deck, build a fence and sliding gate, prep the yard for hydroseeding, and try not to go completely crazy.

Oh, and wish everyone a happy tie tuesday.

**UPDATE** Just found out they are bumping our closing date to friday! Here comes the crazy.
