The Puppeteer and Updates from Yesterday

Hannah was a puppeteer last night at church with the Kindergarten choir. She was funny on the way home, because she told me that it made her arm really tired, but she kept going. So, despite everything going on right now, this put a smile on my face. Jamie and the kids always manage to make me smile!

Jordyn is scheduled for surgery at 12:30, so I will be anxiously waiting by the phone again this afternoon. I talked to Davida and she is very frightened, as any mother would be. Jordyn has been a trooper though, and God is in control. I feel badly that I haven't been able to physically be there. And there were moments yesterday where the tears would just start flowing. My nieces are like my 2nd set of kids. My thoughts have been with them every second since 4:30 Sunday afternoon. I wish there was more that I could do.

The guy that was interested in our house gave us a firm "maybe". He is still interested, but has to "work out some details" and will call us back in a couple of days. I'm not holding my breath to be honest. He only offered 2/3 of our asking price. Jamie got him up a bit (which still meant a slight loss for us), but I just wonder in the back of my mind if he didn't want to give us more than what he offered. I mean...we can't just GIVE it away! I don't expect to make a profit, but there is a point where you just gotta draw a line in the sand. So, the last piece of the puzzle in the move is still not complete and we are growing increasingly frustrated and disheartened. Jamie works here, we live here, our church family is here, and my kids got to school here, but it won't feel "official" until that house is out of our life. I really thought I'd be sad to see the house go, but at this point, I don't care what happens to it. It is a thorn in my side!
