How do I feel about this?
I am Terrified!!! We haven't the slightest idea of where we will go from here. In a perfect world, my perfect world... we'll find the perfect house for us as someone else out there finds this to be the perfect home for them. Then we'd all sign paperwork and have our new home. And the new people that move into our house won't ask us to fix anything or come down on the price or pay any fees! But unfortunately for me, we don't live in a perfect world. Soooo, we'll probably sell after having to replace a few things for the new home owner * we are so picky that it'll take months and months for us to find that perfect home with great schools * and the apartments that we'd really really consider living in for a while probably won't let us bring Maggie Bell since she's part Rottweiler.
I'm Sad!!! I know why we are selling and I can't loose focus on that! When I think about it, I start thinking that this is where our family began. Our first home...the girl's first home. They had all their firsts here. This is the home that John and I planned our future together in. We have a huge backyard with great grass! So that has made for some great parties! The girls had their 1st annual Halloween party carnival style last year! That was great! Piper had her huge garden party this year for her 2nd birthday! That was another great one. And then there are our movie night's under the stars, out in the backyard. Granted we had to pause the movies when the train came by, but those are still great nights! And that trained...the kid's love watching that train come by! We've has pennies and pumpkins smashed on those train tracks!
Back to the girls again...They've shared their 1st room together here. Learned to crawl, walk, run in this house! They've had their 1st busted lips on the kitchen ceramic tile here! So many 1sts! And most of all they have the security in knowing that this is their home. What will they really think when they see people coming in our home to see if they want it! That leads me to my next feeling...
I'm Freaked!!! I asked the realtor if I could leave sanitizer out for people to use when they enter my home. He said that would probably freak people out. So, I have to Lysol everything when I get home every day! I'm gonna be made if my girls start getting odd illnesses due to strangers being in my house! Since Jessica made a comment about hiding her toothbrush, I am a little freaked out! I am now hiding all of ours! And what if I am in the shower and don't hear the phone ring when they have some one to show the house to, or what if I am outside mowing and the kid's are running around the house from window to window to see me and Maggie isn't in her crate! What a disaster that will be!
I'm Tired!!! And beat! When I get up in the mornings...I will have to get the girls and I ready to possibly leave the house. I have to be constantly picking up after the girls and Maggie. I will have to vacuum/sweep every day! That bites! And at night, I will have to clean clean clean. I can't let the laundry pile up now. I have to clean every dish after every meal to make sure everything is clean when we are called to leave the house for a showing. I have to dust every day! I have to make my bed every morning! I hate making my bed! Don't see the point in it really....just gonna mess it up again. And I have to mow/edge/weed eat/and do the hedges weekly! I am tired!!!!! John is tired too. He's having to do all the hefty repairs like painting the exterior and work on the fence!
I am Happy!!! This is my "glass is 1/2 full" feeling. When we do sell, Our next home will be bigger!!!! We live in about 1500 square feet now. That's tiny and we are growing out of it. So It'll be nice to have a bigger house with more closets for storage! And wouldn't be nice to have a pool! Hopefully our perfect house will include the perfect pool! And the girls will have much nicer and better schools to go to. Hopefully Maggie Bell will still have a big yard to run in! And I look forward to out 1st party in our new home where ever that may be!!!
Welp, I have to run. Maybe my next post will be a ton of pics of what this house looked like when we bought it....pretty funny! This house was filled with horrible wall paper!

Oh T! I can imagine how you feel leaving a home with all the firsts.
And I wouldn't worry about the house being spotless, if its "THE House" then its "THE HOUSE".
Our house was NOT clean the previous owner was lets say oh HELL she was filthy. But I loved the open concept, see through fire place, arched door ways and the bay window in the kitchen. So don't worry it will all work out.
And who knows maybe you can pull a Debbie.Use someone's address who's in a better school district, you just never know.
girl. john called today and said that he has to work late tonight. and he has to go in saturday morning! I told him there is no way i was able to put the house up for sale this week while is is working and i am trying to get things done for this shower! I can't them needing us to be gone while i need to be here getting ready or cooking or what ever.
so john called steve and he's coming out monday.
and can you believe it's raining!!!!
oh, john asked does your dryer not dry or not spin? he said it could just need a $12 part.
oh, i thought about doing that...using stacey's address or something. but my luck, presley would tell them that's not her address and that would launch an investigation.
Haa Haa I could SO see Presley busting you guys!
Not spinning, its heating but not spinning I think it needs a belt.
But I have no idea on how to get back there :(
As for these stinkin rain GRRRRRR I was actually pumped to run this evening, now I'm scared what if it starts to rain on me?
