Getting a few minutes to yourself is a rarity.
Meals are centered around kids, and you are happy with that.
We bought a house in Kenmore, WA a month ago.
Seems like a reasonable time to buy.
Being a home owner so far has been great. Primarily because we didn’t have to make a mortgage payment for September. And nothing’s broke so far.
You realize that sometimes people cry for half an hour for no reason at all.
You really appreciate drive through restaurants.
Poop is not as disgusting as it used be.

Moved into an apartment. I like it. Jessa’s still getting used to it.
It was a massive downsizing, going from a four bedroom 1800 sq foot place with a garage to a two bedroom 800 square foot apartment was a bit of a shock. We had to get rid of a lot of crap—probably good for us.
I figure that the move will save us at least $12,000 a year, which means that before taxes, we can bring home $16,000 less a year and still be in the same place. That’s close to half of a teacher’s salary. That house was expensive.
The cat hopped on my lap while I’m working on the computer.
Best cat ever.
