Jul. 12, 2007 - The joys of home ownership...
Why is it that when you decide to sell your home everything breaks. Right now my sweet husband is under the sink fixing the plumbing. It all started with him cleaning out the drain, then he noticed a leak so he went down to fix it but found more problems. Now with all the pipes off, 2 trips to Lowes, he is putting it back together.
This morning it was fixing a broken sprinkler.
I have never seen my DH in this role before. Sure, he fixes things every blue moon but this has been all week! We have a lot to do before the house sells so I am happy that he is motivated.
We were supposed to leave for Sea World an hour ago but who can argue with a man who is fixing something for his family! He wants us to have fresh water and a receptacle to spit our toothpaste in.
This is why I am excited about living in the retreat. All the joys of your own space but none of the responsibility. We can live fancy free on our weeks off - we don't even have to do the yard!!!
I know home ownership is the American Dream etc. but I sure will be happy with my new place...
