FOR SALE!!!




It's OFFICIAL!! Our house is finally on the market. What does that mean? Well for one, the time is coming closer to moving in our new home. I couldn't be happier, especially since we purchased our property in 2007. It's been almost 3 years of House Planning. There are other things it means too when you have a house for sale. Keeping your house SPOTLESS!!! Every morning this week, I have spent hours making sure beds were made, hiding the shampoo bottles, hiding all the food because God forbid the next owner think we actually lived in this house. Even laundry baskets are stored in the trunk of my car. The dog has gone on vacation to Grandma's house. Bless her heart!! We just spent hundreds repairing doors and cabinets from where he had scratched. This week he came home for a few days while my mom worked and I had to place barriers up so he wouldn't scratch. He's a monster, all 15 pounds of him. The girls refuse to play here. Today I took Megan and her friend to a movie and after the movie, they decided they wanted to go play at Grayson's house. My response was "Why can't you play here?". They then explained it was boring and there was nothing to do here. You see back in March we had a POD delivered and placed inside it items we could live without until we moved. Yeap!! All the toys went inside of it. I also placed half of my clothes in the closet and now every time I want to wear something I remember it's in the pod. Megan went on a field trip last week and needed a sleeping bag. In the pod. Rachel needed a shoulder bag for the zoo this week. Yeap-in the POD. Shovel, rake, hammer, IN THE POD!!!
It's weird to think about people going threw your home. Coming in to judge your items. Everyone knows the bedspread does not come with the house but the bedspread still must look immaculate!!
I must admit, the house looks great!! Fresh paint, and clean windows make a huge difference. I almost can't understand why we're moving. I kinda like what we've done to the place in the last month. We just did it 3 years too late.
