hugs @goatlady12! his fall was not your fault, but I understand why you would feel badly. T&Ps for your family in this time. Take all the time you need, and update us whenever you feel ready.
@goatlady12 I am so sorry about your uncle and how you are feeling. Like @kittenwine said, it's not your fault that he fell. He could have fallen anywhere. At least people were around when he fell and he wasn't laying on the floor for a while injured and unable to call for help.
@goatlady12 *hugs* T&P sent. I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I know it's easy to blame yourself, but as the other girls said, it's not your fault. I'll be keeping you in my T&P. Take the time that you need, we'll always be here for you when you're back.
@goatlady - I am so sorry for what you are going through. I wish I could just stop by and give you a big huge hug. Take care of yourself and if you need anything we are all here for you.
@goatlady12 I'm sending you so much love! It's definitely not your fault at all. I understand the guilt you have though. You're definitely in my thoughts
@kittenwine the bank finally got an appraisor out to the property. They said that it didn't pass their criteria because it doesn't have a bathroom on the main two floors. (It's in the basement. It was something we were looking to add on in the future) The realtor is trying to work his magic and see if he can go over that.

Oh no!! That's silly, especially if you guys are happy with it. I know it's their money, but it'd be your house!! *fingers crossed*
I am back! TN wasn't letting me log in for some reason, but I reset a couple things and it seems to be working again. So I could see the discussions but not comment on anything. :P Big hugs to everyone who is going through some not-so-stellar stuff right now.
As for me, things have been fairly uneventful. H and I are still NTNP, since I can't be arsed to track anything. House - buying plans have been put on hold because something got messed up with H's paycheck withholdings last year, and we consequently owed $4000 in taxes. OUCH! So it'll take awhile to rebuild our savings from that mess. And H got an earful from me about keeping better track of his side of our finances.
Oh, and I just went and cut all my hair off. Here's a before and after!

Welcome back @pockysquirrel !! I'm so sorry about the house/tax deal, but at least you had the savings to cover it! Love the new haircut, it looks very sophisticated Can't wait to see you back around!
I've been trying to update you guys on my stuff but TN keeps crashing on my phone so, I had to wait for Chalupa to take a nap. Things are looking up. My uncle is going back into transitional care and after a few blood transfusions is more mentally stable than he has been in years.
I'm about 2 1/2 weeks from starting to take my nephew for daycare. It's looking like my sister is going to have me watch her 5 yo also. The 5 yo, K, does not handle change very well at all. She didn't want to take her out of her current daycare, because like I said change is VERY hard for her. However, K is having issues at daycare with a bully, so it looks like changing her routine might be the better option. Also DH won $500 at bar bingo! Things are looking up!!

@pockysquirrel - I am glad to see that you are back!! I have been wondering where you've been.
@goatlady12 - I am so happy that things are looking up for you and your family.
As for me, I don't really have anything exciting to share. That can be a good thing right? lol
Things are pretty normal here, nothing to update. I suppose that's a good thing!
