and so it goes

farmers called and gave us a low ball offer yesterday. after some lengthy discussions, i told them their offer was unacceptable. she suggested we do our own research, which we did and sent into her. my last statement was "given the amounts on the vehicles presented to you, i would expect a significantly higher offer from farmers."

we shall see.

in the meantime, i traded the behemoth titan for a dodge charger. it's much closer in size to what i have been driving, will hold the carseats for the grandkids and gets better gas mileage.

so there you have it. we're still waiting their second offer, we have up to 30 days on the rental.

we have the kids this afternoon for a time and then again tomorrow night. mommy and daddy are liking this "date night" on friday night thing. we take the kids down to the park, chris has friends in the neighborhood as they all go to the same elementary school. it's good and works well for them. victoria LOVES the park and knows the way on her own. when the kid's equipment comes in to sight, she squeals with delight, then she's off and running, and climbing, and sliding.

still no job. i check dice, monster and careerbuilders each day but the pickins are slim. i guess it's just more wait and see. in the meantime, i've gotten back in to cooking and bread making. my family is loving both as they get good, healthy breads and w is loving the whole healthy cooking thing. i have to do something to earn my keep! ;-)
