This summer is a bummer.....at least from the kids perspective. We are busy all week long doing house stuff. I have noticed several things from this.
1.) over the years we have accumulated a lot of stuff. I am teased by my family for "always throwing everything away, if it's left out", but as I go through our stuff I have found this is definitely NOT true and I am doing my best to remedy the situation. My poor trashman probably hates our house.
2.) I vividly remember why I swore to never move again. It is a pain and last time I didn't have a house to get ready to sell. D thinks I am going overboard, but it really is just stuff we have needed to do for YEARS! I really wish we would have painted last year like I had wanted, but I must admit it was pretty easy for D to talk me out of it. I mean who really wants to paint their house? Once we move, I am not moving again until it is time to go to the old folks home!
3.) With a third of my stuff in storage and all the rooms painted and sparkling, my house is looking great. It is exactly what I have wanted it to look like. I am sad to leave, but there is no doubt about it. We need more space in and out of the house.
4.) Thank Goodness we only have about 4 weeks left of "fixing" the house. Unfortunately, most of it is painting outside and finishing the fence. The heat and humidity will make this slow going, but I hope to finish it up in the next few weeks.
I can't believe our big month long trip is almost here. I want to try to time it so we sell our house before we leave and then move into our new one right after we get back. I doubt that will happen, but a girl can dream right. I am excited, and to be honest a little scared, about the trip. I am determined not to stress over it and whatever happens we will deal with as it happens.
The kids caught a stomach bug at VBS and we have had to deal with that this week. Luckily, D and I did not catch it, but all 3 kids did and I had to watch my sort of grand daughter and she will probably catch it too. It was 24 hours of misery for them. I am glad is was short lived. I felt really bad for them.
We also stayed at my in laws house to care for the animals why they were gone. It was easier than I thought though on the last day the longhorns got a little rambunctious at feeding time and my husband had to jump out of the way so he wouldn't be stabbed. The kids had fun helping out on the farm.
