Day 3 aaaahhh! it feels like we will never get there!

Ok, we are staying here, and things are great, only a few fights amongst the children and nobody has had to go to the ER! With 10 kids, under the age of 14, and most of those being boys, this is a huge deal! Also the house is still standing, and is, for the most part, clean! I found out yesterday that the bank accepted our offer on the house for 153k BUT, we have no contract yet and they are trying to get out of paying the full 3.5% toward closing costs.. They don't think we can close by the end of the year, but we have been sitting in underwriting for a few weeks now just waiting for Fannie Mae to accept our offer and get us a contract. So, although I fully expected to be leaving this Friday, it looks now like we would be better off to wait until next Thursday. I don't know if my brother will last that long ;-) Living here with Missy has made me totally want a nanny, or a maid, or some sort of help! Missy says now, that she understands the attraction of polygamy for some women, it's nice have a "team" of moms. Haha, that made me laugh, but I think the kids know that can get away with a LOT less than usual. So 4 eyes ARE better than 2!! I can't get my computer or my Ipod to connect to the internet here, so my posts may not be regular, but I will try. Tonight was book club in my home ward and I badly wanted to go but couldn't justify the drive and the gas to get there. I miss my ward, my neighbors, friends, and that wonderful knowledge of security. I feel so displaced, and I think my kids are ready to get there and get settled too. I cannot wait for our family to be together again!! Praying for things to happen quickly and smoothly.
