DIS-GUS-TING!

And that ain't no lie!

So, we've got our house on the market - right? Well, every night, we take a good 45 minutes and make sure everything is put up, all Reese's toys are out of sight, all clothes are hung or folded and that everything is spotless. I really want our house to make a good impression on the people who walk through it.

Well, last night, we viewed 5 houses. The first was a doozy - super cute. Concrete counters in the kitchen, big mexican type tiles throughout the house, so so cute. They didn't have quite so much out, but still very cluttered. The next house was OLD. When I say that, I mean, the furniture, the decor, the smell. Nursing home old smell. YICK! It was obvious the people were getting ready for an estate sale. The next was vacant and disgusting. The 4th house could've been cute until the add-on in the back of the house raised some serious questions! People do the strangest things! And finally....the cute, HUGE, perfect house (possibly). However, it was like these people aren't taking into consideration that potential buyers were walking through their house. Dirty laundry was piled in front of the washer and dryer, beds unmade, drying towels all over the bathroom floor......I could go on. The thing is, it was a cute house - which could possibly work for us. It backs up to the creek bank with a HUGE yard for Reese. But the fact that the people left their house so disgusting just made me wonder how well they maintained the house. I know they say people aren't looking at your stuff, they are looking at your house, but when your stuff is everywhere and you have to step over it to look, then you are looking at the stuff. It was obvious these people had kids and I get just how hard it is to keep a clean house when you have kids and I only have 1. But...every night, Garrett and I do a double check of every room just to be sure.

I'll tell ya, house hunting is a full time job....

Seems like our house has shown well, we've had 2 lookers, both serious lookers. We were told that one couple was just nervous about buying their first house and another couple said our house looked "peachy" but liked another layout better. We live on Peach in case you didn't get the joke! We'll be in the "home magazine" for the next few weeks so maybe that will help.

Sometimes I wish we would've never started this project. But, I'd rather do it now with one child than with two a few years down the road.

Other than the house news, Math TAKS is over. Praise Sweet Jesus! It's all on the downhill swing from here!

I'm still on the lookout for an elementary job, praying the Lord finds me the perfect place. He will, of that I am sure.
