My house is my own.
It's ours. Finally, truly and totally ours. The deed has been filed and it is in our name.
Bill bought the house before I met him. But he didn't really buy it. He basically entered into what they call a land contract: which is the opposite of a mortgage in that you only get title at the end. But he also did it over a handshake. With someone I don't trust. And the house was not only in that person's name. No matter: they all signed, even though we are sure the second party never got a penny of the $40k we paid. Yes. We paid $40k for our house. It is a shithole. But it's OUR shithole. And I expect we could sell it for 3 times what we paid. So we love the shithole. And we love it even more now that our names are on the deed!!
And there is also a big ole pile of firewood out front. With two more piles to come.

Pull up your big girl panties...
And keep 'em dry all day! She did it!
Lulu refused a pull up this am, and asked for her "mermaid pants." So I made sure she peed AGAIN before we got in the car for the 40 minute drive to the sitters, and put a towel on the car seat just in case. But it's after 6 now, and she's kept them dry all day. I just wonder what going to happen when she needs to drop a deuce...

Flipper
Sitting on the couch, relaxing my achy back ad hips when the deuce decides to flip Our at least that's what it felt like.

When the bee stings...
Poor Bebe Lulu got her first bee stings today...three of them. Poor Lulu. She's fine, but it put a damper on the day care trip to the playground.
In other news, her crib was recalled. Which is just what we needed to make us move forward on moving her to a toddler bed. Which I own, but need to get from the basement of my office. Plus it means the newbie will get a brand new crib.

Week Fifteen
I STILL get so confused about the weeks. But since I just passed the day I on which I had been pregnant for 15 weeks, I guess that means that this is me at the start of 16 weeks. Or something.
