Sickies

Only a week back to the Northern land and I have two very sick kiddos. It’s been a long week.

And today it’s more of this

I try not to look at the weather in Chapel Hill (60 and sunny). The view is actually quite pretty from the couch- but when Blake walked in at 7pm last night from lacrosse he was FROZEN. And it’s hell week. Which is what the coaches and players call conditioning week.

He sat down next to Austin and I and was soooo chatty. We looked at each other and said, “who is this kid?” Oh yeah, the one thats been missing for the last year. Dude is happy to be home.

I walked down to the park with the kids- it was funny watching Cole trying to figure out where we were- we used to walk to the same park from the other direction when we lived here last time.

They grabbed sticks and made up stories and were amazed that they can walk in the middle of the street.

Our house is pure 1950 thru and thru. Which is great if you like that sort of thing. I don’t. But since it’s all going to get gutted I have to be patient and live with what’s here. That means scrubbing everything. Like this light. So gross. Don’t smoke people.

Austin walked thru the house looking for a place to hang his pull-up bar- there is no trim around the windows and doors in the house. So Andy nailed a 2×4 above a door so Austin could hang his bar. SMH.

But with all the smallness and coziness and lack of bathrooms and hot water and heat, the kids said last night that they love our little house. They like it better than the big fancy one we left behind in NC.

So there you go.

And then the sickies hit

And I’m going a little crazy

But it’s almost Friday. That’s good.

Chapel Hill house supposed to go on the market in a week or two. Anyone want to buy a house?
