Happy March!!!!

March is my favourite month of the year - March 15th my favourite/lucky day.  Things often go my way in March...or else I'm just more in tune with what is happening.

J-Bear is napping behind me in the car, while I sit in my parents' driveway.

Once again, there is a house for sale near my parents.  This is a constant struggle for me.  I live in a great house.  1850 sq. feet.  Nice neighbours.  Close to my work and to SR's school.  Newish (7 years old).  All of the rooms are spread out with a bathroom between them.  So SR's room is apart from J's empty room, which is apart from my room.  Walk out to the garage from the laundry room (I back my car into the garage so I quickly load and unload the trunk each day).  Large rooms and a large living/dining room that acts as a big play area.

But it's away from my parents (10 minutes or up to 30 in rush hour), who were used to me living within walking distance to them, and J's daycare.  My dad still comes to my house every morning to pick up J and take him to daycare and then brings him home at the end of the day.  And I get less help being further from them.  But the houses near them are more expensive and quite a bit older (30 years).

Agents know I'm looking in this neighbourhood and contact me every so often - after I once again settle into the fact that I really like my house.  So my parents both went to see a house this week on the street next to their street.  They liked it, but it's missing obvious things that my current house has - plus the bedrooms are much smaller, as is the kitchen.  It's also a condo so there are extra monthly maintenance fees.  There isn't a walk out to the garage and the laundry room is in the basement (I hate going into a basement!!!!).  I just saw they are having an open house today - I may run over when J wakes up and I take him into my parents' house for lunch, just to confirm that it's not the house for me.

J woke up early....will have to finish this blog next week...
