Sickness, Dr. Appointments and Houses

Life seems to be so crazy! I can't even imagine what my life was like before I got married and had kids. It seriously seems like a dream being single, working full time, going to bed late, shopping, driving around, hanging out with friends, living life so "care-free". I wouldn't trade what I have now for the "care-free" life any day though. I love it, I love the craziness, I love my husband, I love my kids, and even though life isn't so "care-free" any more, I never have been happier with my chaotic life and where I am. Sure I am 30lbs heavier than I was in high school, and I hardly ever get to putting make-up on, and my expensive taste in clothing is all now too small and seems like a heck of a lot of money that I could be spending else where on my house, my kids, my husband, etc. I like the fact that I have snot and drool and poop all over me 90% of the time... ok maybe I shouldn't go that far, but life is pretty dang good. And I am happy.
McKinley has come down with every sort of sickness you can catch this winter. I just wish that the dang snow would go away so that the sickness that comes with the cold can go away. This past weekend Kin had a really high fever and we were up all night Saturday and Sunday and most of Monday tending to her needs. I am so thankful for a husband and a dad that honor their priesthood so that when ever in need a blessing, they are right there to help. Kin is better now, I hope. She woke up this morning singing and dancing and is actually eating so I think we are now in the safe zone. I made an appointment for her to go see the Dr. on Monday, but then canceled it in fear that they would just tell me the usual... sleep, liquids and alternate Motrin and Tylenol. And because she and Taitan both had their wellness visits today. I am glad I stuck it out and didn't end up paying and extra $25 for nothing.
They both had their appointments this morning, but they only got to Tait thanks to lovely UDOT and stopping traffic on I-80 this morning for 45 minutes!! Here is the latest on the cutest little boy ever...

Last Friday Bret and I went and looked at more homes. I think our realtor is getting sick of how indecisive we are. I finally found a house that we like and are in the process of putting in an offer. We are having issues with our dumb lender, so we are changing lenders and then submitting our paperwork. The only thing that stinks about this house is that it is a short sale home, so we can wait up to 4 months before we hear anything back from the bank. Bret and I are ok with that though since if it comes down to it we can move in with my parents and save more $$$, which never hurt anyone. I guess I just am still very unsure with what to do still. I don't want to buy a house that I am just ok with... I really want to like it. Is there something wrong with me? Do I just need to settle for something just to have a house? I don't think so, but maybe I just need to not be so dang picky...
