Our house is TOO full



Just a little pun on the title of this blog! But seriously, I know we could squeeze into a 2 bedroom home and make it work...but we would like a little more space. And closer to work/church/ninny/school?. We put the house on the market as of Thursday! It is exciting and scary at the same time. I think it is exciting to see what the Lord is going to do with us. To do with our house? We don't have a specific place or area in mind to move to...I mean, it has taken us 6 years just to sell. I can't imagine I could decide where to go! hahahaha!
So the kids and I have to pick up like crazy every morning... ahhhhrrrr! What a chore! Fred cleans at night and vacuums....Can I get an Amen for that! I knew it would happen one day!
I love having such a nice clean home... but what work!
I am excited but I have a lot tied to that house. It is our first home. My first home. The home each of our babies came home to for the first time...stairs that everyone has fallen down(including mom)...stairs that have everyone's tears on them(including mom)....bathrooms that someone had their first potty in! Walls that heard first words....floors that held first steps.... lots of firsts....now please be my FIRST house to sell!

..............
so NO ONE has called to see the house today... wanna know why? bc the kids are at school/moms, shelby is trapped in the garage, I am at work and so is Fred, and it is spotless!
But yesterday when I had 5 kids eating lunch,
3 different lunches bc Corbin doesn't like nuggets...odd...I only had 2 corny dogs I promised Chloe and her play date, and L&A had nuggets,
I had stuff out from a wedding cake I had to make for today...Q and U got married at school and they did a full wedding for it.....
I had paints all over the kitchen as to keep L&A occupied so Chloe could actually enjoy her friend to herself...
there was a Barbie massacre upstairs.....
and I get a call at 12:40 that they wanted to come at 1! Needless to say, we pushed to 1:15. Mad crazy dash to clean up... I told Chloe and Adelaide to push everything under Chloe's bed...I gave Anabelle Corbin's fork to finish feeding him... Hello she is 2.5! Get everyone in the car and hang at Sonic....
Response from showing relator and client: "Very nice house....Very very clean.... shows very well.... client still looking...so we will let you know if we want to see it again!"
Golly....at least they might give me 25 minutes this time... for real.... I mean... the first few days of having the house spotless, I thought I was in Heaven.. Fred had to feed my type A personality... now, I can see spiralling down hill in a few short days! Sell Sell Sell for my sanity if nothing else
