People!

I'm back. It was a great trip and much needed.
We relaxed.
We got tan.
We collected sea shells.
We saw boats and sunsets and seals.
We clearly gained some weight.
We.... we....we sold our house!

Okay, okay, we may have sold our house. Things are getting hammered out today.

The good news? If this goes through then we are done. Done keeping it clean. Done showing it. Done trying not to "live in" our own freaking house too much.

The bad news? We got pressured into low balling our selling price and while I guess it worked... we can't shake the gnawing feeling that we could have gotten more (a much needed more I might add).

Oh the other bad news? That gives me 4 weeks to get all packed and moved... and I haven't even been to Asheville yet!

This Week The Plan

Okay folks I'm getting down to the wire with this putting the house on the market thing. I feel like I'm on the brink of insanity... or sanity... depending on how you look at it.

I'm really wiped out and am both excited for Tuesday night (that's when we hand it over to the realtor) and terrified. We still have an astounding amount of work to do. Thankfully Mr F is known for the all nighters so there is still hope.

Again I'm not meal planning or exercising. We're leaving for a nice relaxing vacation Wednesday morning so there isn't much point anyway.

Here's what's goin' down:

Monday:
Go to Sear's or Best Buy and order new gas range.

Clean Upstairs for showing.

Clean Living Room & Dining Room

Clean Playroom

Do laundry.

Box up bookcases in basement.

Empty main room of basement.

Touch up paint the upstairs bathroom.


Tuesday:

Remove extra toys, paperwork, shoes (daily stuff) to Storage Room

Carpet installed in basement

Gas range installed

Kid's last day of school picnic

Clean Kitchen & Downstairs Bathroom

Vacuum entire house

Mulch backyard


Wednesday:

Leave for vacation!

Holy Mother Of God

We just got our credit card bill. Let me just say... SWEET FUCKING JESUS! In the most horrible of all timings our Disney trip transaction didn't post until a few days after the end of our trip... which put it on the same bill as all of our Christmas expenses... BONUS! This brings this months bill to over two times our usual monthly bill. Oh did I mention that our mortgage needs to be paid at the same fucking time!
