Eenie Meenie Minie Moe

I love the things kids say to brighten our days! As you can see from my last post, I was highly distracted yesterday, trying to figure out which house is right, etc. Lillian is the type of child who can tell when you aren't giving her undivided attention when you talk to her (hmmm- just like her mother), and was getting mad at me. I apologized to her and said- "sorry honey- I am just thinking about what house we should move into when we move!"

She then said "Mom, just do Eenie Meenie Minie Moe! I'll help you!"

Made me smile and realize I was stressing way too much. I love the simple life of a child.


In the end we DID decide- actually it was the same decision we had already pretty much made- to forget about the short sale house and go for the one around the corner on the cul de sac. Jon found a nice photo tour online with even more pictures to remind me what a great house it is, and after thinking about it all day I came more to terms with giving up on the other house, and had the good feeling that this REALLY is the right course of action. So- today we will be putting in a new offer and I am anxious and excited! I hope all goes well and we will have a place to move into come February 21!
