Literally! Princess P has a cold. She either picked it up sometime while we were out-of-town or when we went to Chuckie Cheese's. The poor baby can't breath, she is all stuffed up. And she has a horrible time when she eats. She can't sleep because she can't breath. Which results in me sitting up all night with her on my chest. Your child being sick has to be one of the worst feelings in the world. You would do just about anything to make them feel better. Oh well, I guess we just have to ride it out.
As for the house hunting... we found one we really like! It is in a really great neighborhood. Princess P would get to go to the school system we wanted her to (where me and C went to school). It has about 600 more square feet than our current house. Which means I would have to buy new furniture (yay!). The only thing is (well two things) it is Frame Modular and it happens to be a foreclosure. The previous owners had it built in 2007 and it was foreclosed on in June of 2008. So it has been on the market for several months. And is practically brand new. Our Realtor seems a little concerned at the fact it is a Frame Modular. He said those typically have a lower resale value than traditional homes or even true Modular's. I don't know if this is true or not. But we plan to be in it several years until we can financially afford to build. And the asking price is the lowest we looked at! So I think it would be worth it. I just hope it doesn't sale before we feel comfortable putting in an offer for it. And that would be when we are confidant we can sale this house. We definitely couldn't afford two mortgages. So there are a lot of things holding us back.
And lastly, when did Chuck E Cheese's become such an awful place to go? Maybe it is just our's but the service was horrible! It was so packed and all of the kids seemed to have major attitude. We waited in line for 25 minutes to cash in our tickets for ridiculous plastic prizes. It was major drama! Some lady in front of us accused the workers of "shady business" by giving away prizes to people. That was not the case at all. It all ended with her asking the manager for the corporate offices number. After that none of the worker's wanted to help the rest of us in line. So we the lady behind me almost went behind the counter to ask for someone to help us. It was great! That lady made my night! My father-in-law was also feed up with the nonsense and gave his great-niece $15 to go with her 621 tickets to get the Polly Pocket she wanted. We had fun playing games but I don't know if I will be returning to that Chuck E Cheese's.

Chuck E. Cheese is always a horrible place to go! Screaming kids, cranky parents . . . ugh, I feel your pain mama!
Ack, I hope she feels better quickly!
I know what you mean, as much as we love Chuck E Cheese, the last time we went was a less than stellar experience. It made me want to be the manager so I could thwap some customer service skills into everyone working there! lol
Wow - I feel the same way about Chuck E Cheese. I hate going there and I only go because my kids beg me. My Chuck E Cheese has horrible service too. The food is always cold, the staff couldn't care less about anything, the kids there do have major attitude AND forget about all of the vicious germs that live there just waiting to hitch a ride to your house!! Some kids at my Chuck E Cheese actually came up to my table to ask if they could have my son's tokens because they ran out. Huh?! I won't go there unless I have another parent to tag team with. I hope that your daughter feels better soon. Good luck with the house - that can be so stressful. I am going through a bit of that myself. We really need to sell but just don't know if the timing is right. I hope it all works out for you. :)
We have had our share of Chuck E Cheese experiences but will always return as our kids love that darn place.
