… marking the end of the sentance and proving you are NOT pregnant! I swear the backs of my legs are on fire today. I took some motrin, herded the kids off to nap and managed to get a but of lunch. The kids are exhausted today… all 3 were up at 6 am. Grumpy and out of sorts but up! So no snuggle on the floor in the livingroom with Emanuel this morning.
We did manage to post our two letters… it was already creeping up to 20 cel by 10:30 so we did not stay out very long. The boys ran around and played with sticks, Emanuel even joined in. The boys were rather tired even before we left and at lunch Gavin really did not eat much. Poor Emanuel was a little over stimulated having no down time from when he got up at 6 until he nursed after 11. Me, I am amazed we all made it to 11! The twins did not even complain near as loudly as they usually do and for once I feel a little more human. Though of course Zander pushed his limits all morning and Gavin played deaf more than once. I have to say when they are good like when we got home and the boys helped emanuel get his shoes off and gave him kisses or when they saw my bruise on my leg and had to kiss it better for mommy I am so proud! It is those amazing moments that make all the problems and distress worthwhile.
I did get ahold of the loan reduction people today, we are missing one pay stub for December of last year, they suggested since the application is time sensative we should send it with a note and then send the proof of income for that time period once we get it. Apparently we can apply 3 times, the first time half the loan or 10 thou, the second the same and the third 6 thou or half the loan what ever is lower. There just has to be a year between each application of payments. So who knows, up to 26 thou can be taken off (that is more than we owe). Optimism returns!
Ken got ahold of a mortgage broker, we are to fill out an application! They sounded as Ken puts it "optimistic"… perhaps we will either move or be moving before Ken goes to Mn end of July ??? They are not building the one I originally looked at but what they are building is lovely just no basement and hey so what? We can deal !!
I got a few pictures from one of my aunts of the aunties and uncles all together on my dad’s side that I have to share – 1960 apparently… the boy standing next to the baby boy is my dad!
