It's friday afternoon, I'm sitting at work and Lauren calls. "Mom, they just called and want to show the house between 3 and 4." It's 2:45 and I immediately start thinking of the little things that should be done........sweep the mud/cat room, put the sack of clothes in the store room, vacuum the kitchen where the cats like to lay, make sure Lauren's room is decent...... So I tell my boss I need to run home for a few minutes, as the house is going to be shown. When I walk in, Lauren is already sweeping the mudroom and I get some boxes/sacks moved and spot vacuum the kitchen. I do a quick glance, tell Lauren she has to leave and head back to work. I call her to see if she's left, and she's picking up her bedroom! She did finally get left. Actually, she took off to the city to hang out by herself! I hope the quick clean wasn't enough to put her over the edge!! Just kidding, she's not my cleanest child. I called Lawrence to let him know the house was being shown and he said we'd probably have to pack tomorrow! When I said 'doubt it', he commented that it was whetting the worm........at least they're fishing........
Well, that was quite a comparison! Now, how do I feel about showing the house? Will they like it? Want to buy it? Do I really want someone else in my house? Do I really want to continue looking at other houses and try to imagine them as 'home'? Yes, but it sure does wear a person out!
I am so proud of my daughter, it's very enlightening when you realize your kids do have brains, they do use them, and they can think for themselves!!! I really appreciated your help today Lauren.......thanks........I love you.........MOM
