The Best Plans
Someday I will learn that when I make plans I need to remember to have some wiggle room.  When we started this year I knew that we needed to be prepared to alter my plans.  I forgot that a few weeks ago when we started counting out the remainder of days we have for this school year.  We planned on taking 2 weeks off and a few holidays and we would finish off the year on May 30th.  I then went through and figured out how much math they would complete and when we would be done with Five in a Row.  Well, silly me.  We have already had to alter those plans.  Not only did I forget the field trip this Friday but yesterday our Realtor called to see if we could show the house.  We did not get any schooling done today.  As soon as the house was clean we left.  I hate trying to keep the kids from making messes that they naturally do.  We came back home at 3 pm and who really wants to do school that late? 

I'm glad to have this showing over with.  It's been almost 2 years of trying to sell this house and I am so sick of constantly feeling on edge.  It's hard to just relax when you never know when someone wants to see the house.  This has to be the hardest thing we have ever gone through.  I am constantly having to give all of it over to God.  As much as I want to feel like every rejection is my fault because I didn't do enough, it's not.  I hate hearing that the right person hasn't come through.  I'm sure that is correct but right now, I'm tired  and weary from this.

Oh Heidi! I can relate! It does make you think "what is wrong with my house" when it's just not sellling. We haven't been dealing with it as long as you guys (It's only been a little over a year for us now) and now we are no longer in that house as you know, but last year was crazy trying to get school in and showings on the house all at the same time and we were typically only given an hour to 2 hours notice on our showings which drove me crazy. How do you keep a house perfect all of the time- with 6 kids?!! It was not easy! I was so relieved when we moved on down here to AL. We still haven't sold our home. Who knows why? :-(
