Ok, here is my update...

First - Yesterday afternoon and evening.

The realtor came over at 4 and stayed until 5 or so. She liked the house and was the most enthusiastic of the three realtors I've seen about getting something done in a decent time frame as well as getting a pretty good price in this market. I have her contacting W and I'm hoping W will like her as I think she'd be a good choice for us as she specializes in our neighborhood. I do meet w/ others today, so I'll keep an open mind. In any event, I'm hoping we can find someone we agree on and move on this soon. I'd like to have an idea of what I'm doing as soon as I can.

While I was meeting w/ the agent, W sent a text asking for the start time of the party. She then sent another playful text telling she needs to take out a loan b/c D was eating like a goat. I responded to the party text and gave some details, but not the eating one. Around 7:20, W sent another text joking that I'd better call before D eats the phone.

I called at 7:30 as usual and W and I were able to joke around about how much the little monster was eating. W at one point said "The car is gone. She ate it and you'll have to take us to work tomorrow." I heard D in the background say "Mommy, the car is still here." D had looked out the window to see if the car was in fact gone. It was very cute.

W and I began discussing the realtor when D wanted the phone. Once D got on, she didn't get off. W had said she was "tired" but we were on for almost an hour. I talked w/ D, with some of her toys and dolls and then for the last 30+ minutes, D read me some books. She'd keep picking up the phone and telling me she was setting me down to turn the page. She read book after book after book to me and I just sat and listened and answered her questions about the parts of the story. It was priceless. I loved every second of it.

At 8:30, W told D she had to go, so we hung up. I basically shut it down for the evening after that call as I was spent. I was able to get a pretty good night's sleep for once. It was nice.
