\"for<\/a><\/p>\n

So our house officially went on the market on Wednesday. We pretty much had everything ready (except the stucco on the outside which is STILL not fixed yet, although we’re hopeful it will get done this week!) but it’s definitely a new kind of stress level knowing at any moment we could get a notification of a showing. For the first day it was quiet. Then things have started to pick up. We have now had 9 showing in 3 days. Well, okay, technically<\/span> only 8, because 1 cancelled–but they cancelled 30 min after they were supposed to arrive, so we were already gone.\u00a0 Luckily we had a LOT on Saturday so we just stayed gone for most of the day.\u00a0 Today we had one request to come in 20 min!\u00a0 And wouldn’t you know we had JUST put the kids down for their afternoon nap… so we had to quick tidy the house, then throw the kids in the car and drive around for 45 min, and then come home and put them back down again… not an ideal naptime, but it worked out okay.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We’re going to get feedback from each of the showings but as of right now we’ve only received feedback from two of them.\u00a0 One was very negative which is kind of a bummer–they didn’t like it at all, so much that they apparently didn’t even go upstairs!\u00a0 Oh, well–you can’t please everyone.\u00a0 And like my Mom has pointed out, we only need ONE person to love the house.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 So, we wait.<\/p>\n

P.S. As I was typing this we got another showing for tomorrow.\u00a0 Now we have to figure out if we’re going to have showing while I’m teaching… hmmmm…\u00a0 more stress!<\/p>\n

P.P.S Did I mention Tim hasn’t started his work season yet?\u00a0 Yup.\u00a0 Usually he starts April 1st.\u00a0 We’re all starting to get a bit restless and worried about finances the longer he is delayed in starting his season… and you put that on top of this work season being extra difficult with his co-owner (Nick) being deployed overseas with the Army all year.\u00a0 Oh, yeah, and he had another co-worker quit unexpectedly 2 months ago. \u00a0 That left Tim scrambling to find new workers for the summer…\u00a0 I know God has everything under control, though…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
