We are taking showers and getting ready to leave for the day. I made the house smell like bacon so I'm trying to get that smell out. I mean, everyone loves bacon, so maybe that will make our house sell!

I have no clue what we're doing today. I feel pretty good today so I'm going to attempt working out. We might go to the farmer's market. I'll take doggo on a long walk if the weather cooperates.
Ive got a knitting project that intimidates me so I've put it on hold forever. I might try to restart that.

Happy First Day of Spring! 🌸🏵️🌻🌼
Since I accomplished zero around the house yesterday, the goal today is to get shit cleaned up. Laundry, etc. But for tight now I'm sitting on the couch sipping coffee in peace.
I pick up Cadence tomorrow. Yay!!

I have 7 Scentsy warmers going with a springy scent that isn't brand new, but still has some smell left. And a candle, which I'll blow out right before we leave. After I vacuum for the 3rd day in a row. I dont smell bacon at all anymore!

We are having a bunch of tree limbs cut down right now. The winds here are nuts and large branches keep falling off so we are taking some big branches off. It should also give us some more sun in the backyard.
This afternoon c had baseball tryouts and then there is a 20% discount weekend at Dicks for our town Little League players and we need a bunch of stuff. It’s off the whole purchase so I’m grabbing football gear too.
I had a great time with my friends last night. I was uncomfortable shopping at the mall so I didn’t buy anything bad didn’t shop very long. Dinner was nice though. It was fun to catch up though and I am excited for the warm weather and plans to get together regularly again. It’s also amazing how much office gossip there is even when we all work from home! It’s like each of us have our couple of people we talk to regularly that talk about others and all of the sudden it’s like we never left bits somewhat refreshing in a way to know not so much has changed🙃
It is still so amazing the different levels in our group of four in terms of exposure during the pandemic. I am by far the most conservative and they thought it was nuts that I haven’t been in a restaurant in a year. They are all waiting for normalcy and I am a bucket of anxiety about it. They were talking about having a meal with our families there to and I was like oh I can’t take C to a restaurant, he’s not vaccinated. They looked at me like I had five heads. Idk when I will feel comfortable with that. Maybe an outdoor restaurant in the warmer weather.

Morning. I am currently at the car dealership because I brought my car for an oil change. Zero people are wearing masks here and it’s really bothering me. Dh is going to come pick me up so we can run to the bank before it closes.

Glad you had a good time. wedding I am with you on the anxiety front surrounding public places. Eating inside is just uncomfortable for me and I’m not able to just enjoy my meal. We tried while we were in Tenn, but they were not keeping the tables distanced. Even though I am vaccinated, I still don’t feel protected when around a lot of people I don’t know. mwhip Hope you get some offers in soon. Good luck.

Morning.
I had to work this morning. I didn’t get much sleep last night, so I need to take a nap today, but I also need to start making progress on getting the house ready to list. My realtor is coming by midweek to check it out and see where we stand.
Nothing much else happening today.

Hello! We visited my parents for the first time in a long time so that was great! I'm going to get A down for a late nap and have a glass of wine and start Ginny and Georgia.

I'm here. Barely. Mallory got hit with a stomach bug Thursday night. I think A and I slept 2 hours all night.. she was fine by noon Friday and I had a pto pitch dinner. So I went. But woke up middle of the night last night sick. I think I'm past the stomach issues but now I'm just exhausted and feel dehydrated. Resting all day and hoping I feel good by morning.

So our realtor changed the listing to controlled showings, not an open house. We only had 2 showings. Between the long close date and knowing we are over priced, I don't know if we will get an offer.
We did listen to what they said on our ring. The first lady really liked it, and she is the reason we had to go to MLS so she could view it. Hopefully we can negotiate a price with her since she needs the long close as well.
The other people through were weird. Like they walked up the stairs, into our living room, he went and touched our Wii and laughed, then they went straight outside. The lady made a comment about where our China cabinet is at. Then said she didn't like the split entry. Uh, the outside of our house looks like a split entry house, so I'm not sure what she expected. They then hung out and discussed another house they were going to look at and said they wouldn't pay what we were asking. Cool, get out of my house so we can go home.
So we are back home and told the agent if anyone wants to see if, let us know and we can split quickly.

peachsmama hope you feel better. DH took C down the shore to get the house ready for summer. I had to stay home to take DD to soccer, tomorrow is her first game. I spent all day cleaning and running errands but it was so much easier with C gone. It’s a beautiful day and I’m hoping the Easter candy I bought last night is not melting in my trunk because I forgot to run in it after the kids went to bed last night.

Our agent just sent us a text that the lady who was so interested in our house, which we busted our asses to get everything done so we could list quickly, has decided she wants a true ranch. We don't have any showings tomorrow.
None of which is surprising...we can't close for 7 months minimum. But I'm bitter about it. I asked if we consider lowering the price or just pull it and relist closer to our actual closing date.
I guess I can at least start boxing shit up and decanter. But seriously, so many times, I asked what the hurry was.

That's so frustrating mwhip. Our realtor also told us there was someone who was basically a lock for the house so we busted ass and it was all for nothing. I think buying/selling a house is one of the most stressful common life situations you can go through. The right buyer will eventually come along.

Hi. I need to catch up. But I’m officially done with my last class for my bachelors. My official grades will post next Saturday. So 1 week left to worry. My finals are 50% of my grade.

Just asking because I know a few people that have seen houses before it hit the market. I would be bitter too if I busted my ass doing all that work for sub par results. Sorry.

I took the nap. Then woke up 5 hours later. 😩 This is why I don’t nap. I don’t know how to take a true, timely nap.
Oh well. I had to run to the store to get something for dinner after I woke up. I’m probably not gonna be tired any time soon, so I guess I can still get a few things done. MH leaves tomorrow afternoon to start his new job, so trying to get a head start on some things before I’m solo. Good thing I’m not scheduled to work this week except my usual Friday.

Ok, I’m a PW, but my mom finally got her first shot today. The lady my dad knew never came through for her. She was at the grocery store and asked a clerk if they were doing them. The clerk said yes and for her to go inquire at the pharmacy. She asked and they were like fill out this paperwork and we’ll give it to you today. So easy. Not sure if my brother and SIL got theirs, but they will after my mom let’s them know about the grocery store pharmacy.

She said it needed to be listed on MLS to follow their code of ethics. My mom agreed that it is the right process. Our agent said we shouldn't lower our price, that we were looking for a very specific buyer at this time, so we will likely pull it from MLS Monday. But when we get closer, everything is ready to go.
