It's been a week since my last post and boy what a week it was!
Monday - I went home sick from work. I think something was in the air.
Wednesday - daycare called, trip to the doctor says: Aubree has pink eye
Thursday - still banned from daycare (24 hrs after starting meds) We brought daddy lunch and met some teachers, so that was pretty fun.
Friday it was back to work for me.
In the meantime, our house is still on the market. We had been talking about different possibilities to increase our chances of a sale. First on the list was to make the kids bathroom look just a tad bit spiffier!
SO, Friday afternoon while Tom took Brock to soccer practice and Aubree was taking a nap, I began to disassemble the bathroom. I had bought a nicer mirror and clock to "complete" the room. I had everything done and was ready to take the existing mirror down when I ran into a roadblock. It was GLUED to the wall! So, hair dryer in hand, and fishing line to "saw" through the glue, I'm going at it in the bathroom. Midway through (I thought), Tom calls to let me know someone wants to look at the house the next morning! OF COURSE THEY DO! Well, that pretty much sealed the deal that we HAD to finish the bathroom that night. We managed to complete the project by 10pm. Just about 4 hours to replace a mirror! In my head, that was a 30 minute project!
Bathroom - before
(I never did center the mirror after we converted from a single vantity to a larger one)
Bathroom - after
(new mirror, pictures hung in an actual pattern, clock added to take up wall space)
I would probably do more if we were planning on staying, but we're not. I'll focus my attention on our new bathrooms if the house ever sells. ;-)
In the midst of a rainy Saturday (soccer game was cancelled), we took Grammy and Aunt Jenna (who had come to watch the game) to target and Chili's while the house was being shown (11-1). Brock felt really warm the whole time we were out. He had a steady 100.6 degree temp all day. (here's hoping it doesn't turn into the flu!) We got home, the kids began to make the usual "kid mess" and Aubree went down for a nap and the phone rings again. MORE lookers from 3-5! So out of the house we venture once more. It was quite an interesting day.
(here is where I would talk about the A&M game with Loni & Carlos, but if you know how the game went...you'll know why I am skipping the re-cap)
This brings us to Sunday. Another very rainy night (yay rain!) and an under-the-weather mommy, made for a lazy morning. I actually fell asleep on the couch for a bit. This is VERY unusual for me, which goes to show I'm not exactly 100%. I awake from my nap to a phone call. MORE lookers. They want to show the house from 2:30 to 4:30. We looked at the clock and it was 2:30 right then! We were able to get out relatively quickly and headed to the pumpkin patch.
When we listed our house in February, ours was between 2 others like our floor plan in terms of price. The two others must have gotten desperate and drastically lowered their prices. They have both sold. There is one house like ours which just went on the market, but it's priced 10K higher than ours at the moment. This makes ours the cheapest of our floor plan in the neighborhood. This could be the reason for a sudden increase in showings. We'll see. All I know is I'm SOOOO ready for the home selling business to be over. It's very hard keeping this house clean! ;-)
Stay tuned for pumking pics on another post.
