I have not been overly concerned that my house has not shown this week. The children are home for the week, alone, and they are not necessarily maintaining Mommy's standard of clean. So I have been less than worried....
....until now.
I have not really been house hunting. I have a couple homes I have been looking at online and as they come and go, I just keep my eyes open.
Several of my friends have been gently pushing me (ok, demanding) to purchase a house in their neighborhood. They keep sending me links to houses and saying "Come on, Karen, you want to live here! We can hang at the pool!! etc. etc. etc.
My friend Carol has been the ring leader and sends me some inappropriately expensive homes. Especially one. It started $25,000 over my budget. She kept saying "But it's worth so much MORE!!!"
I did appease her and actually put it in my "possibilities" folder.
The price has slowly dropped.....
It is now $5,000 over budget....
It's huge!
In a FABULOUS neighborhood!!!
Excellent SCHOOL DISTRICT!!!
WITH A FIRST FLOOR BEDROOM FOR DAD!!!!!
Oh God, what is a girl to do? *sigh*

Fixes and Finishes
Chris finally installed our new sliding glass door! One more thing dinged off the list. He also burned the stump a bit further down into the ground!!
Here are the men being men. Enjoying our redneck stump removal.
Watkins keeps watch for lizards and squirrels.
The house has not been viewed since our active week. I'm hoping it wasn't just realtors snooping about. I will have them come out to take more pictures since the door is now installed and the playground is in the process of its update. Unfortunately, all the money we have put into updates and paint will pretty much be a loss for us as our realtor is convinced we need to drop. I hate to say that all realtors are in cahoots with each other, especially when I have friends in the business. They will still make their money and I will lose mine.
I'll stop my rant now….
