I was just driving 'in town' and I saw a very large pickup truck full - and I mean FULL - of deer hides. It's moments like these that I feel incredibly out of my element.

Rosemary was painting with water colors and started saying, "Go away," every time I went near her. I finally told her that wasn't nice and she apologized without being prompted. She is having a lot of fun with those water colors.

The toilet is clogged. Really clogged. That kid has some monster bowel movements. It is currently overflowing onto the floor and it is disgusting. There is a plunger from the landlord, but it is a piece of crap (pun intended). I called Joel to find out where our plunger is, but he had to call me back. Ugh.

We are moved! The big moving day was Feb. 28, but we didn't get a big enough truck, so we couldn't fit everything into it. Fortunately, we are able to leave stuff in our old house for now. We went down last weekend (Rosemary and I stayed for 6 days) and got the rest of the stuff that was in the house. We'll have to rent another truck to move all that's in the garage. It's a low priority at the moment, since it is free storage and most of the stuff in the garage we won't use until summer.

The new place is starting to feel like home. It was really nice to come here after 6 days in the city. I wrote a little more about it over at my other blog.

I'm also trying to not covet the following bedding set for Rosemary's new room. We are fairly soon going to transition her from a toddler bed to a full bed. I wasn't even going to look at the pottery barn bedding, but I couldn't help it, the catalog just appeared in my mailbox ...

I just wanted to say a quick hello. We are moved in and mostly unpacked and it's starting to feel a little bit like home. We are going back down to St. Paul today and staying through Tuesday. Getting a bunch of things done and also cleaning out the house a little more. Things with the short-sale are actually progressing and yesterday we were told it should be approved in a week. Woohoo!

Rosemary just said, "Barack Obama is going to Granmooey's house in my tummy?"
