UNBELIEVABLE

Yesterday was a fairly normal day for me until late afternoon, when it got a little crazy. I got out of the shower and noticed I had several messages on my home phone and cell phone. One of them was our realtor calling to say that someone was in the neighborhood and wanted to look at our house. This might seem pretty normal, except for the fact that we haven't listed our house yet. It was a girl from curves that I told about the house. We had talked about it, and she said it was what they were looking for. Apparently, they had looked at several houses, and really wanted to see ours because they were trying to decide on one. So, back to yesterday afternoon, I told our realtor that they could come look at it, but I would need until 5:00 (45 minutes) to clean up and get myself and the kids ready to leave. Well, he called me back and they could do 4:45, but not five. So, I had 30 minutes. I literally ran from room to room picking up, while calling out instructions to the boys. Luckily, I had cleaned the sunroom the day before, so that was one room I didn't have to worry about, but other than that, nothing was ready to show. You can't believe how stressed I was thinking of all that I had to do. I know it's stressful to get the house ready for people to see it, but it wasn't anywhere near ready, and I ONLY HAD THIRTY MINUTES!!! Well, with much help from the boys, we got it picked up and out the door before they arrived. I even remembered to do most of the things our realtor had suggested to do when someone was going to look at the house, lights on, blinds open, thermostat down (actually that was for me while I was iciing cakes earlier in the day!), etc. So, I guess I'll update this later today or Monday, whenever we hear anything. I will say this, they like the house and might make an offer on it, but they want to be moved in by May 15! Wow!! I feel like my life has just been put in fast forward.
