Since our offer was accepted, we put our house on the market yesterday. Yikes! That meant pictures had to be taken and we were all running with scissors. Well except Hub's who is still disgusted. Luckily my eldest daughter got wind of this Thursday at noon that our offer had been accepted and she had all of her cases divided up among other attorneys, jumped in her car with the two boys and drove 8 hours and was here by 8:30 our time.
Between my Lil sis and daughter and myself we worked like dogs, to get the house picture ready. Our realtor was here by 2:00 to lists our house and we already had someone look at it this morning. Even though I have been downsizing for quite some time, we still have closets that are a night mare. So today we are getting45 different closets, cleaned out and pared down to a decent level.
Hubs is upstairs practicing a cello piece and our youngest grandson is playing the piano, or at least pounding on it. Lovely combination.
I will have all three of my girls here tomorrow and daughter # 2 will be here Monday -Wed, I am going to try and bribe my son-in-law with a new boat cover if he will help us paint the house.
Well I have to go, time is a wasting. Had one wedding dress picked up and two more will go out this week. So that end of my life is in full swing. The piano stopped so what is that 4 years old up to?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

Thought you just painted? I am sure your home is lovely and just fine. Let people paint whatever color they want. Paint isn't going to make that big of difference in price.
ReplyDeleteGlad your offer got accepted on the other home.
I sure wouldn't want to be you in the new few months!!! LOL
Here you planted garden and all - I just figured you were going to wait with all that is going on.
The outside still has to be painted where we took down all the ivy. It is a mess.
DeleteSometimes I work best when I'm under pressure. Sounds like you do, too :-)
ReplyDeleteI do also, but is that pressure good for me?
DeleteGood luck.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rue
DeleteWow sounds like things are moving really fast! Glad you have help getting everything put together and ready for moving!
ReplyDeleteIt has been non stop here and I am so tired.
DeleteWhat a whirlwind! It must be meant to be.
ReplyDeleteWell I hope this is all worth it, I am beat.
DeleteHow far will your new house from present one Sylvia NI
ReplyDeleteLess than a mile, about .7 miles from our house now.
DeleteNow might be a good time to rent a storage unit and put stuff there. Sort later. I mean put boxes there without going through them. Some realtors suggest removing furniture to another location, too. Good grief, this is fast, but you are your cadre can handle it. A kid making noise is always good for keeping track. When they go silent, I always went to see what they were getting into...lol.
ReplyDeleteWe have a storage unit and it is FUll.
Delete45 closets? Holy moly! How big is your home? We have 4 in 3 bedrooms plus 2 linen closets w/shelves in 1650sf.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your purchase and congrats on your soon-to-be-sold location :-)
Sorry 4-5. Yes all we have in our house is closet after closet..... Our house is 2500.00 square feet.
DeleteWow! That's a lot on your to do list, my friend. Hope you are as productive as imaginable.
ReplyDeleteI am ready to drop right now.
Deleteit was meant to be.
ReplyDeleteMaybe still have people looking.
