Monday - Clint and I enjoyed our President's Day holiday off of work. We started the day by dropping off the kiddos and heading to the foxtail house for the inspection. We were there for 3 hours (just a titch bigger than our Cedar Lake house haha) - fortunately only some leaking pipes to be addressed and the rest of the inspection went through with flying colors. Clint and I then enjoyed some lunch sans kids, finalized our lender and home insurance decisions for the new house. We ended our day with an agent showing at 615p.
Wednesday - Clint heads to New Orleans early in the morning. Another agent preview during the day and kiddos/I do dinner/bath/bed routine.
Friday - The Scramble! A showing at 230p and 5 inches of snow. Realtor came and shoveled our walkway. Clint ordered a company to plow the driveway and fortunately they did it at 1230. I was so busy at work that I finally stopped paying attention to the showing app. At 515p our realtor called to say the couple LOVED our house and were asking for some disclosure papers (no worries on that end our house is clean). They then scheduled a second showing for Saturday - we have everything crossed because so much activity in the 1 week we have been on the market but no offer yet.
Saturday - The day I thought I may run away from my kids. Clint is still out of town, due back later in the day. We have the 2nd showing and really want to be done with selling this house! As we are getting ready for dance one of those sweet angels knocked Maci's closet off the track and now it looks completely broken. We are now running late for dance, they are fighting over who did it, I cant get it fixed and tears of utter frustration begin. Thankfully our realtor is on top of it - we head to dance, he comes over and fixes it. We finish dance, the showing occurs, Clint gets home and then NOTHING. We don't know if they are sleeping on it, fell out of love - NO CLUE! Our realtor plans to call their realtor 1st thing in the morning - indecisive buyers are on my last nerve. We have a lazy day around the house with no additional showings as I think many are scared away by the 2nd snow storm rolling in (YES ANOTHER 5 to 8 Inches!) Maci goes to her pal Audra's 5th birthday party and I fall asleep early completely defeated, annoyed and done parenting!
Sunday - Woke up more positive and attempting to remember to worry about what I can control and let go of the rest! Clint cleans the driveway and still no word from the 2nd showing but now another showing request for 1230p today. We are in the process of tidying at our house and attempting to remember that it will happen just likely not the way I would plan it! I keep myself busy with laundry, errands and binge worthy TV. We continue to say prayers and keep our fingers crossed. At least the snow is pretty and provides an energy release for our kiddos who aren't allowed to make any messes inside! I need to keep finding the silver lining as this will all be behind us soon and we are extremely blessed to have 2 homes that we love right now!
We hope for a far more peaceful and calm week ahead - at least no one is traveling!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
