housing and sliced fingers

so, we were able to find a place to move into. actually, my neice found it for us. she was at work and talking with a co-worker who mentioned that she had a house that was going to be opening up for rent. turns out the rent is $400 a month, and the deposit was only $200. so, we automatically took it without even looking at the house. at that price, we can't afford to not take it. there are no utilities included, but even then, the price is still going to be less than anywhere else. it's a 3-bed, and actually has enough room to put the two older kids in their own rooms and still have an office. but, i'm not sure that i'm going to yet. AND i will actually be able to put my table in the kitchen!!!
last night, brent came up and informed me that there was a realtor that was going to be showing the house at 1pm today. AAAAHHHHHHH!!!! my house was not clean in the least, and i had been doing laundry all day. so, i called a friend and she came by after she got off work to help me clean. i cleaned my entire house and got all my laundry put away by 1am. turns out, the people who looked at the house are making an offer! they might get the house sold before they leave and not have to worry about renting it out.

i woke up yesterday morning to elizabeth screaming in pain. turns out that taylor had gotten a hold of the scissors i keep on the fridge. they were cutting hair off of ponies, and stuffed animals. and then taylor decided to cut his sisters finger. i just barely got the story today: apparently she was complaining that her finger hurt so taylor decided he was going to cut it off for her. (i occasionally tease the kids when they complain that something hurts, that we are going to just cut it off. i guess taylor took that a little more seriously than i had thought.) the bandaid on her finger makes it look huge!
