We got a call yesterday from our realtor that he wanted to show the house today at noon. It worked out quite well since I had a Dr.'s appt. and would be leaving the house by 8:15. Everyday I get up and go through my routine:
make beds, take laundry to laundry room and start 1 load, vacuum, dust, empty dishwasher, empty trashes, wipe down bathrooms, clean glass and lastly shake rugs and swiffer the laminate floors. I am able to have all of this accomplished (normally) by 9:30 a.m.
I do this daily routine so that when we get a call to show the house, all I have to do is light the candles and walk out. BUT...........I still stressed out and ran around in circles making sure that everything was just so. That is exactly what I was doing this morning from when I got up at 6:20 until we walked out at 8:25!
I got the boys dropped off at a friends house. THANK YOU LAURA and MOLLY!!! And made it to my Dr. appt. right on time. The midwife said that the baby sounded very healthy and was right on target with her growth. Apparently being extremely busy with this move has been a good thing because I have only gained 30 lbs! That might sound like a lot for some, but since I normally gain 50 lbs, I will happily exchange it for 30 something! 
My wonderful friend, insisted that I not hurry back and take some time to myself! I realized that I had not had even a second alone since DJ left for Illinois three weeks ago. It was nice to be able to listen to talk radio in the car! AND to make a quick trip to Walmart by myself. Of course, I couldn't stay away much longer than a 1 hour appt and quick trip to Walmart. I just miss those little boogers so much!! They had a great time playing with Molly though. We will have to have her come to our house again before we move.
Haven't heard from the realtor yet about today's showing. Hoping and praying that this might be the right house for the right people. |
