Confessions

I assumed since it was the week before Christmas that our house would not be shown again until after the holidays. Well, I was wrong. I got another early morning call and yet again was in a panic to get the house in order. It was worse this time because just this past weekend we took off all the cabinet doors in our kitchen and bathrooms to be refinished. All our "junk" is out and exposed. In the midst of the chaos this morning, I have a few confessions to make. I confess that I pushed baskets of laundry into closets and hid dirty dishes under a towel in the garage (dishwasher was full - no time to unload and load again) Pathetic I know! I confess that I raked mounds of leaves, that seem to always find their way to our front doorstep, out into the street. I confess that I then felt bad (or rather worried that the neighbors were watching from their windows and hoping our house sells soon) and I scooped up the mounds of leaves into the trash can. Should have just done that first, don't you think?! I confess that my poor little girl toddled around the house in nothing but a diaper most of the morning with a tangled mess of hair on her head. I confess that I bribed Isaac with a treat to clean up his room in a hurry. I confess that I took my children to Chick-Fil-A and camped out most of the morning. They had the run of the place! Was it all worth it? Well, we will see! The people that came to see the house were the same ones that saw it last week. Apparently they are interested. I will keep you posted!!
