Oh the IRONY!

So this morning I bit into my fortune cookie from the night before which read: "To lower your stress level, get a cat." SERIOUSLY! How about to INCREASE my stress level, get a cat!  Funny enough, I get a facebook message tonight from the girl who took in our cat saying that she's pretty sure the cat is miserable at her house because she is still hiding in the basement in their rafters...

Much to my dismay, this means an email back to Nikki to arrange a time for me to go get the dumb cat! It's been SO nice without her, even though we initially missed her in just the slightest way, I really did not want her back at all. I'm thinking that if I possibly put an ad on Craigslist to get rid of her, that may be my only option since several posts on Facebook were not successful. However, who is going to want a cat that just hides. I'm pretty much she is just traumatized from being displaced from "her home" for a couple months while at the in-laws, then coming to our new house for a day, then to another new house to her the following day. Once again I will say...wish she could have just stayed at the in-laws...not like one more cat was going to hurt things since they already have one (that was dumped there by Bobby's sister). Maybe if I say Annabelle is peeing all over Natalie's things (like Felix the other cat did to Bobby's nephew) then she will have a home at the in-laws ;)

We had an open house today at the old house. According to the realtor, we had a decent amount of lookers (7 groups). However, one person was just looking to see how they could fit a half bath in their existing home and another wanted decorating ideas. Our most potential looker isn't very promising either considering this was the first home she has looked at!  I'm so sick of going over to the new house and having to hassle with the weeding, mowing, painting, etc! Even though it hasn't quite been 2 months...my patience is wearing out already!  I just pray every day that SOMEONE, ANYONE will buy that house! What do people want...it has new carpet, new windows, new doors, new water heater, and good roof. All the big things are already done for them!  Plus, I've basically repainted the entire living room/dining room/hallway and bathroom!  Will keep praying...

Natalie was something else tonight, she went to bed really good, but an hour into her sleep, she woke up screaming/crying, then calmed down for a bit, but then took a LONG time to calm her down once again and get her into her crib without any fuss. Not quite sure what her problem was...never really did figure it out, but I think she eventually just wore herself out crying and finally went to sleep!  Today she at spinach, apple, and rutabaga (I don't even know what a rutabaga is), but she at the entire packet and loved it...yuck! She's definitely Bobby's daughter!

Her 3 month sleepers are officially too small (even though she is in one right now, since the other one I had on her made her too warm). My baby will be half a year old in 10 days!  Where has all the time gone?!

I'm pretty excited that I might have finally found a dining room table for the new house!  I found it on Craigslist and am planning on seeing it tomorrow morning!  I'm hoping it was just what I was looking for...counterheight, 6 chairs (really wanted 8), and is 36" x 54" that expands with a leaf to 54" x 54". The chairs have been newly re-upholstered with zebra print fabric (which isn't exactly what I was looking for, but I think it would go well with our decorations). Plus it is only $375 and the other 2 tables I liked were over $900 and over $600. Now, I do have to go by myself with Natalie to look at it and according to Bobby I'm supposed to see if the chairs are in good condition. I have no idea what that means...so hopefully if I buy it, Bobby doesn't get too annoyed if the chairs aren't to his standard. It is Pottery Barn, so I would assume they are good quality?!
