5K

I am running a 5K tomorrow!  This will be my first official 5k, although I run that distance often.  The girls will be in Aurora with Joe's family.  The weather should be great.  I'm sure it will be interesting.  As most of you know, Pappy found the event and is also running.

No Termites

That is all.  I am just buried in the whole loan, insurance, negotiating, moving process right now.  Next step is the appraisal.

Michaela's Sensory Processing

http://www.spdfoundation.net/about-sensory-processing-disorder.html

If anyone is interested in reading more about  SPD and why Michaela goes to occupational therapy once a week.  There is a lot of info available.

Getting Closer

We have worked it out so far to make it beneficial for us(Joe and I) to go ahead and put a new roof on the house.  The seller is very motivated and doing everything within their means to make it affordable and reasonable for us to purchase and improve this home.  I am happy with the way things are going so far!  Next is the termite inspection.  My realtor told me that there are two kinds of houses in Florida: The kind that has termites and the kind that is going to get termites.  Oh yay.  Just because hurricanes aren't quite enough to spook a buyer from Ohio.  Actually, termites are not a deal breaker.  I will keep you updated.

Episodes of Dora that include her baby brother and sister

Any stupid toy you see advertised on Nickalodeon
