Well this weekend is our first open house weekend.. so please send out some positivity for us. I think the house is lovely.. I just pray that other people that come through think the same thing. I try to remain positive about the whole experience but every now and again I'll hear my MIL grating voice about how small the house is.. and that it's a bad time to sell.. and that I should wait 'til the spring etc.. And when she says these things I nearly blow my stack! Does she want to come here and shovel me out of my drive way all winter long??? She would say that she would and then never show up and never apologize. It's who she is!
Anyway, my mini gripe is over with. What have I been up to lately. Working on the getting the house ready (still!), checking over and over again how many people have viewed the house on-line, hanging out with D3 (she will be 3 in 2 weeks), groceries and other every day things.. and applying for jobs. Still only had the one interview... but the right thing will come along. I know it.
D3 has been out of sorts lately.. really cranky. She's got a pretty bad cough and she coughs at night... so it might be a lack of sleep crankiness.. she also changed to a new room at daycare so it could be that it's causing her some anxiety.. it could be just an age thing. My gf said that her son just went through about 3 weeks of the same thing and then snapped out of it... or it could be that we're planning on moving. I've been trying to explain to her that she and I are going to move to a new house as soon as someone buys our house. It's completely over her head but I don't want to just throw it at her either.
She said something very interesting when she was on the phone with her Daddy yesterday.. it was actually the 2nd time she said it. the first time was back in January or February of this year. I was on the phone with him and put her on the phone and they just did regular chit chat (as much as you can do with her at this age) and she said "come home Daddy. come home with Mommy. come home with Mommy and D3". My heart broke a little bit for her. I'm not sure in her mind if she just means she wants to see him and for him to spend time with us or if she's really saying she wants him to come home. Likely the former.. but it makes me very sad for her when she says that. Anyway, he was working last night but I promised I would keep her up a little later so that he could stop by to see her.. and he did. But that's enough about him for this posting.
Hope all is well with you wonderful people!
Hugs, W2G
PS. I love that you think I sound/seem serene... most of the time I'm just resolved to the fact that this is my life now.. and although it's not what I wanted and it kinda sucks I have to deal with what's thrown at me. As for Monday, I was just in a pisser because a certain someone would rather sit poolside with buddies then spend time with my daughter.. and that can get me in a little bit of spin.. and I don't like it when I go there.
