I'm trying to remain calm. Jack's birthday is coming up quickly and he's having a party for his school friends on Saturday which is keeping his brain busy with plans. There will be cornhole, knee hockey, and a painting craft. There will be junk food and cake, and then everyone will go home after two hours. To be honest, his behavior is pretty good, considering how much he's looking forward to it.
He's still talking about mama and her tablet, because mama lets him spend lots of time on his tablet playing games and watching TV. I did talk to her about it, and hopefully she cuts back on his screen time so he's equally mad at us. I also looked up five year olds obbessions with games, and it's not uncommon, so he's normal. He is a funny guy though. Every morning before we leave the house for daycare or school, he paces around the kitchen island, all the while talking to me about every thing. He has so many thoughts inside his brain and they all have to come out. I just realized he's like me that way. I do so much better if I can talk about things out loud, get those thoughts out of my head. He talks more than any boy I've met:) He'll either drive some woman crazy, or she'll love it.
The US continues to circle the drain, economically, with it's insane policies and politicians. It's stressful to watch because Canadians worry about getting dragged along with them. We have an election coming up 3.5 weeks, and I guess that will help to decide which way we're heading. For me, I'm voting Liberal because I believe humans should be helping each other and working together. I don't believe in every man/woman for themselves.
In other news, I gave our renter at my husband's old house, notice to vacate. We want to sell the house and really don't like being landlords. She doesn't pay much, $900/month for a three bedroom house with utilities included. She wasn't happy. She's a single mom of three kids and works hard. But on the upside, she got hold of her dad, who literally lives about a five minute drive away from her (who knew), whom she hasn't talked to in twenty years, and he wants to help her. They are looking at ways to get financing to buy the house. We don't want to do anymore work on that house and it will be sold as is, for probably less than market value. If they can buy the house, no realtors and everybody wins. I have my fingers crossed for her and for us.
My condo will also be repaired, shortly? Again, who knows, but the realtor said we can sell it as is, as long as the new buyer knows it will be repaired. Fingers crossed.
Now for some funny, because there really isn't anything funny going on.
