The weather was chilly and breezy, yet lovely as well lately. We went for a long walk and decided to take a detour for lunch. I was doing my usual thing of serving my kids with a bit of benign neglect by thinking of lunch too late when they were already hungry and crabby, so it seemed pertinent to get fries and cheese quesadillas. Not the healthiest choice by far, but I kind of frown upon getting the fruit option at a restaurant. We eat fruit every day at home and going out is for fun. Let’s splurge and have the fries!
Some more play outside in the yard where clothing usually becomes optional. It was not warm enough to be undressed to me, but the kids run a lot warmer than I ever do. I swear, so long as the snow is not on the ground, they are content to sit in the freezing dirt and be naked. They even wanted the pool. This 50 degrees in Minnesota for ya!
We normally would have spent the day moving, but alas, our buyer has yet again thrown a wrench into the mix. He had some financial issues to clear up to get his loan and had to push back our closing date. This is odd since he had six figures to put down as a down payment, so what kind of issue could interfere with that? (There has been a lot of boohoo-I’m-a-victim going on from this guy.) Also, it is just on more thing he neglected to tell us about that he obviously had to of known ahead of time. We had to lose more money again do his procrastination and general sense of self entitlement. And he thinks costing us a bunch of lost money on cancellation fees is him doing us a favor. Um, OK. I understand that life can get crazy sometimes, but he is an adult and I feel like an adult should also be able to recognize when he should take a step back and get his poop in a group instead of complicating things further by buying real estate. Ugh. This has been just one more thing that makes us feel like it might all fall through, which would make our new house fall through. All of which would leave us out a ton of money. All because other people were not capable of being grown ups.
I made a joke to Husband the other night about buying land up North and living in a yurt. He did not exactly seem put off by the idea. We might be becoming old and curmudgeonly.
Just had to tell you that I’ve never heard the saying “poop in a group” before and it seriously made me laugh out loud. Thank you for that- I will be using it from now on. On another note, so sorry to hear about the irresponsible buyer. Some people just never left high school. (Or middle school for that matter.) Hope everything goes smoothly from here on out!
thank you!
I learned poop in a group from a roommate of my husband’s back in college. Not that I am a prude about the other way of saying it, but hey, let’s change it up now and then. 😉
