Moving On

I'm not even sure where to begin!

We closed on our house in Tyler a couple of week ago!  Chuck just loves the house and it is so safe for him.  My mother and father came with us and Marmee met us too.  We got Chuck's room all set up.  He will be in a big boy bed when we move to the new house so all his furniture is new or is not being used in our current house.

Last time I wrote, we were working through an offer on our house in MS.  Well those people withdrew their offer after the inspection!  Ugh.  Thinking there must be something wrong with our house, we got our own inspection and found nothing wrong.  In fact, everything that was found is small and we are fixing it all.  Turns out they withdrew their offer because of some fungus under the house.  Apparently the professionals said they will not treat the fungus because it is what you see under every house and we are putting in a vapor barrier so that is going to kill it.  Sometimes I feel like there are a bunch of idiots in my life.  Oh well, those people lost a very cute house.  Two days after we got our inspection, another couple made an offer.  We have fixed everything and now have a re-inspection tomorrow.  If all goes well, we will have a firm deal and will be looking forward to the moving company showing up on June 21st!  I say "looking forward".... we are happy to move on from this stage in our lives.  It has been tough on Dr. with so much working and crazy hours.  It has been rough on me with working and raising a little munchkin!  We are not excited about leaving all of our neighbors who have become like family and I am also not excited about moving farther away from my family.

Last Thursday was my last day of school!  I am officially a stay at home mom without the kids!  Chuck will be going to a montessori school.  I think he will love it.  He seemed very curious when we took him by while we were in Tyler.  The director at his school now says Chuck is such a montessori kid.  I am not sure what that means but she is so confident that he will thrive in that environment.  I think in the past I mentioned some of Chuck's behavior problems at school.  Now he is with the older children and I am getting rave reviews.  They say he is just so sweet and does anything you ask him to.  He has three more weeks at his school ( that he has been going to since he was 4 months old!) until the big move day will be here! ( That last sentence just made me cry.  I don't think I will miss the school because he is moving to such a neat one but I am kind of freaking out about how Chuck is going to adjust to all the change).

I say I will be a stay at home with out the kids but for Christmas this year, Chuck we be getting a baby brother or sister!  It's funny how things work.  Chuck had been asking me for a baby for three weeks when we got this surprise!  I would love for Chuck to have a baby brother but he would adore a baby sister.  I think Dr. wants Chuck to have a brother but I also know that daddy needs a little girl because we definitely have a mama's boy in the house who most of the time only wants to deal with mama.  A daddy's girl would even things out.

I had so much to say and now have forgotten it all.  It is time for this mama to go to sleep.  Chuck and I had a good weekend but he is pure 2 year old boy.  He wears me out!
