Today was a super stressful day for me. I had all week to think about this showing since the realtor told us she was coming back Saturday. I waited all week and she finally scheduled it Friday morning. So after work Friday and all Saturday morning we cleaned like crazy. It still amazes me how awesome my kids are at helping me out by cleaning and picking up. The showing was scheduled for 11 am. So the kids went to my car with a movie a little after 10 am so I could vacuum and do the finishing touches without any other bodies in the house. I joined them in the car at 10:30 am. We thought they might arrive a little early so we wanted to clear out. We parked down the street in the usual spot for a while and waited. At 20 mins after 11 we decided to drive around the neighborhood a bit. At 11:30 I caved because the kids had been saying they were hungry since 9 am. We went to Subway for lunch and Scott stayed behind in his car with the cat. I thought for sure he would call or text me that they were there. Nope... So at 12:30 we headed home and passed Scott his sandwich from our car to his. We had to wait until 1pm to go back in our house. Scott assured me they still had time to come. I drove to the front of the neighborhood to watch for the realtor's maroon traverse to drive in. At 12:58 I started to cry because all of that work and they didn't show up. I felt so defeated. It's so hard to keep the kids in the car and happy for a few hours. As I was starting to drive back home Scott calls and tells me they just pulled up in the driveway. PRAISE GOD!!! I'm so happy they showed up and all our hard work wasn't for nothing. I parked down our street a bit to see when they came out so we could go home. It was about 10-15 minutes later when they emerged carrying one of the flyers I made. I'm glad they took that home to think about our home. Very emotional and stressful day of highs and lows for me. I hate putting the kids and Scott through this. I just really hope it all pays off soon.
The realtor feedback said, "Very nice home. It made the top 2, but the buyers just started looking today". So with that we wait to see if they want to make an offer on our home or wait for another showing request...
I have been praying so hard for God to bring the right buyers to our home and so have the kids. Lord hear our prayers. So glad we are going to church tomorrow. I need some Jesus time to fuel me up for the week ahead.
