It's time for another episode of:

Captain Jamie!

A rousing escapade of bold daring and cunning adventures by a 3 year old boy!

After performing wrestling moves that should have won me an Olympic Gold medal, I have finally gotten my 3yo dressed. Knowing the acrobatics needed, I have yet to do my makeup and hair, so I leave Jamie happily playing with toys in the living room as I sneak off to brush my hair and apply my face-cover that lets me pretend I've slept lately.

A mere 7 minutes later, I stroll out with my laptop, ready to pack my briefcase and load the car, when I hear my husband scream. Dashing into the kitchen, I round the corner and see:

My husband is holding aloft the offending weapon, moaning "Permanent, it says Permanent marker, permanent!" Jamie has dashed off to hide somewhere, knowing he's about to lose all toys to pay for a countertop.

Now on the one hand, I want new countertops, and I am proud of his good lettering (he spells very very well for 3, although he does like to make up words like wielwxe and he has excellent handwriting!), the other side of me is banging my head into the wall. The laminate floor incident was one thing, but this! This says Permanent!

Remembering the last adventure, I whipped out a Magic Eraser, recommended by many readers. That gets a good bit off, but you can still read the letters. Hmmmm.....

So I brought out my gold standard - the good ole Soft Scrub with Bleach. Yes, the same soft scrub that removed the hi-liter from the white laminate tiles. I apply to a paper towel, close my eyes and scrub a bit. Peeking an eyelid open, scared of seeing the definition of Permanent, I almost screeched to see an 'e' nicely erased!

Soon my boring blah countertops were back to their usual, my 3yo was saved from having his Christmas presents garnished, and my husband's heart medication was able to kick in. Yay!

The end of another adventure of Captain Jamie!

Now.... to figure out where that marker came from.... kiddie contraband????

Adios!

Wichita Homes for Sale-Getting Pre-Approved for a Home Loan

Do you keep hearing in the news about the credit crunch? Has it got you worried about buying a home... I wanted to talk about when to get prequalified for your mortgage. Many people ask me when they should talk to a mortgage lender about buying a home.

It's really important when you are shopping for a Wichita home for sale to visit your financial or lending institution before you begin shopping. One benefit of this is that you'll quickly know the amount of mortgage you qualify for. This will allow you to search Wichita homes for sale in the right price range. Most importantly however, you'll tell Wichita home sellers that you are a serious buyer. You'll have more negotiating power and put your offer in the best possible position to be chosen if you have gotten pre-approved for your mortgage first. So before you begin your search for Wichita homes for sale, consider getting pre-qualified with a reputable lender. This is a very simple and quick process that you should be able to do over-the-phone. I work with a local, reputable lender in Wichita -click here for more information on Met Life Home Loans.

Banks and financial institutions have developed many programs especially for Wichita home buyers, whether you are a first-time home buyer or already have equity in your home. I choose to partner with experienced, professional, local lenders who are accountable to their clients and offer great service. To use a mortgage calculator on-line then visit WichitaHomesForSale.us
