Actually we moved 7 months ago... but it has taken us until now to get the old house empty so we can do repairs, painting & cleaning. This has taken a hit on school.  Fortunately C is nearly done with school for the year, and E is "just in preschool".  She & I have been going to the old house 4 or 5 days a week to clean & paint.  Painting with a 4.5 year old is a challenge.  She wants to help; she really does... and there are certain things and places I am willing to let her paint.  And there are other places that I really don't want her to help paint. The problem is that I can't leave her home, because then C says he can't get school work done and my husband has a harder time getting his work done, too.  SO, I take her with me and it takes me longer to get things done.
C works at the old house 2 or 3 days a week and my husband makes it 1 or 2 days a week.  C moves back & forth helping my husband or me, depending on what is most needed at the time.  He is a great help... but I do feel bad about him spending time there when he could be home either working on school or doing yard work at the new house or just being a teen ager.
I will be so thankful when the house is finished and on the market.  (I'll be even more thankful when it sells!)
So if you know anyone who needs a 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch house in Jefferson County, TN let me know.
In the mean time, we are busy with wedding plans.  My son gets married May 12.
Life is busy, and never boring!
