indecision '09

we are in a pickle.

3 out of 4 of us are sick and when i say sick that means: ida is croupy, c.j. has head/chest cold = sleeping all day and eli continues to cough and cough and cough...

do we fly home tomorrow or do we wait it out? do we go get a hotel room for the rest of the stay so we don't get stacey/aaron family sick {could be too late}? do we move to california? do we like this house or this house or this house? do we like this neighbourhood? what are the schools like? we can't afford that... what do you want for lunch? do i take a shower? should i prop her up while she is sleeping? i can't hold her vertical all night...

i knew this was going to happen. the day we left, eli came down with a cold {surprise, surprise}. we rolled the dice {as we always do = retarded} and decided to go ahead with the trip since we felt pressure to get down here and get looking since we are technically homeless.

it has been extremely stressful the past few days. the nasty heat, the driving, the looking, the sickness, the sleeplessness, the decision making, etc, etc, etc...

so, as i type, {it's 2:37 in the afternoon} ida is sleeping propped up, c.j. is on the floor passed out and eli is watching a movie, trying to relax and get better. and time, is, ticking.

Come sit at the ocean with us for a few hours....it will help to clear the sinuses, the breeze will cool you off and you'll get a little peace so you can think straight again!! Hope we get to see you soon!

Oh Jess! I hope things get going in the right direction really soon. I also hope you have a good rental car with all that driving!

See you when you get home.
