Holy Moley people! I step away from this thread for a few days and I have like 25 pages to catch up on????
You Kruisers just gotta stop being so darn nice and friendly geez!!!!
Karen Mouse, good luck with the viewings!! Ugh, I hated doing that a couple of years ago when we sold our house. May the force be with you!
Sorry to hear about everyone who got sick...lotsa dust stuff coming your way!!
Brenda, I am looking forward to reading your trippie!

I am so glad you decided to write one up! I have been waiting patiently for it....

actually I've been rather impatient....darnit..it's about freakin' time you wrote that dang thing!!! Geez, it's not like you have a job or anything
Nancy, I agree your daughter is beautiful and she has your great smile

And being the "MOM" is rather flattering I think, so take that as a compliment!
Jeff, I hope you stick with us for the cruise, I am sure you will make an absolutely hilarious addition to our meets!! If not, we will miss you!
Linda, great snowman! I can't wait to do that with Kira! We got enough snow this week to actually make one! I see that your grass is still green under all that snow!!?? Ours is brown
We went to a Sleep Seminar for babies/children on Tuesday as we are having some sleep issues with the baby. It was the first time we left her with a babysitter (her Auntie Deb!) We were taught the "Extinction Method" for getting kids to be a good sleeper and getting her into a routine. Tonight is "night 1" of 3 nights. Basically they teach you that babies need to be able to get themselves to sleep and find their self sooting technique. Unfortunately that means a lot of crying.

We just put her down and she's crying so I came on here to distract myself.

This is going to be a VERY LONG night!!
It's been one of those weeks...you know when everything goes wrong and it just keeps getting worse. We found out this morning that our landlord decided to sell the house and we have to move next month. Fantastic timing butthead (do you sense the sarcasm?? or my extreme bitterness???

) The housing in Calgary is STUPID right now...the housing market is totally retarded...the typical 3 bedroom house with a garage was about $200,000 2 years ago and now that same house is going for about $500,000!!!
We sold our house just before the market changed because we thought we were moving to Ottawa. Well, turns out we didn't move and now the housing is so expensive we can't even afford a mortgage!! So in the meantime we have to rent and since we moved in here, the rental rates also went through the roof and having 2 dogs and 2 cats make it even harder. So I will be packing for the next month and hoping we find a place that suits our needs.
Well, on the plus side if we can get Kira into a routine and sleeping at night, I might actually find the time to pack
