for now anyway.
In the midst of cleaning the house like crazy and trying to get this house ready to sell, the gas prices were continuing to climb and prices of major storage items (flour, sugar, rice....etc.) were also climbing and Seth was starting to think maybe moving wasn't such a good idea right now. Me I was looking around and seeing how small our house was getting and really wanted to do something RIGHT NOW....(I can be kind of picky like that sometimes). Well I guess the Lord agreed with Seth because the lot we were looking at buying sold before we could even get our house on the market. So we are staying here and trying to make things work out for now. Though it drives me nuts at times.
The frustrating part is that the people who bought the lot are completely wasting it. It is perfect for a walk-out-basement (it slopes gradually to the back of the lot). The lot had dirt brought in to make the road so it could easily be dug out to be level in the back......but no the people who have bought it can't make up their minds. They are spending so much time and effort trying to make it a lot that can have a house built on top rather than the easy and obvious walk out. If you can't tell I am a little upset about the whole thing.
So sadly, I have to stay here for who knows how much longer. But I am trying to make the best of it and I'm getting pretty creative about how to store things. However, I need to do more moving around so I can get Ella out of my room. When I finally figure that out, I'll post some pictures.

Sorry your plans are spoiled. Stupid economy!
I'm so sorry that your plans are being delayed. We have lived with 5 children in 3 bedrooms for 16 months now. It is definitely not easy, but it is doable. I remember when we moved the crib into Ethan and Grace's room thinking "this is so crowded!" but it has stayed that way for over a year and I don't even think about it anymore. Our problem is Ethan being the only boy, because as he gets older, I know he needs his own room, but 4 girls in one room just seems so unfair. And since they were pretty sure this one is another girl, we will be in big trouble if we don't get into a 4 bedroom house by the first of the year.
I hate money though!!!!! it always ruins everything!
Stay strong! :)))))
