Still here

Still here, alive and kicking.  Nothing new on the home front ... literally.  We've had plenty of showings, but no offers yet.  One couple was here two days in a row this week - yay!  Fingers and toes are double crossed and I'm hoping that St. Joe works his magic.

I haven't vacuumed and swiffered with this much frequency in my whole life!  You can imagine how much fun it is to try and get your house ready for a showing when a toddler is right behind you, undoing almost everything you've just done.  I figure that if that is my only real complaint to life right now, I have it pretty really good.  So no more complaining!  pinky promise

We are going to look at five more homes this weekend.  I'm sure our realtor just loves us - ha!  Out of the 10-15 homes that we have seen thus far, we just haven't found anything yet that we are crazy about.  Some that we definitely like, but nothing that we love.  Thus the search continues, but we really need an offer on our home if anything is going to happen.  Otherwise we will stay, content for the time being, and analyze our options in the future.

This week I didn't have to tutor because the kids were taking their state standardized tests.  It has been a blissful week of nothing.  I mean, sure, I did plenty of errands, meet ups with good friends and playtime with G.  But there were zero expectations of me besides leaving the house for showings.    It was nice and it helps me recharge the 'ol mama booster pack when it starts getting low.  I stayed in my pajamas for a ridiculous amount of time.  I let my crazy mom hair do its thang and I was happy.  Sometimes you just need to be served a big serving of nothing to stop, slow down, and get back in the groove of things...

I hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend loving and spoiling all the women in your life who matter the most.  xoxoxo
