Selling your home...

The process of selling your home SUCKS!  It is especially hard when you have zero patience.  I really feel like it's making me go crazy. I actually want to slap the smile off that lady in the picture.

We did have a showing finally this past Saturday but the no feedback/no response at all from the realtor leaves me disappointed. We also had an open house Sunday if you want to call it that.  The realtor who showed up 15 minutes late put 3 signs in the whole neighborhood and they were pointing down the wrong street...awesome. His first sign didn't even start until you were in the back section of the neighborhood. So I guess the people who already live here that want to buy the smallest home in the neighborhood could find it. Oh wait, no...he pointed the arrow THE WRONG WAY.  So...obviously nobody came and we stayed out of the house all day Sunday.  It's so draining to stay away from home with the kids and keep everyone happy without spending a ton of money. I'm not sure how effective open houses really are overall but this one didn't have a chance. I feel defeated...worn out, like this is all just a cruel joke.  I'm supposed to wake up everyday and make my house perfect and beautiful and hope that someone wants to come see it.  It's exhausting.  How people do this with kids in the home for a long period of time is beyond me.  At this rate I will probably get to find out though. It really is hard because everything is put on hold.  We are a family of 5 crammed in this house, with all of our stuff packed away and I feel like everything I say is "when we get the new house". New bedroom furniture for the twins when we get the new house.  New living room and dining room furniture when we get the new house.  The kids want a pet...again when we get a new house.  The boys get a game room when we get a new house. I'm so ready to move forward with things and we cant.Yes I know it will be that much sweeter when it finally does happen but right now I'm tired of this.  It's my day in a funk...I just need to vent. The holidays are approaching and the only thing I really want is for this house to SELL.  The new home means so much more for us... it's our raise the kids in house, settle in long term house, paint the walls, do exactly what we want house and make it our home.  We always knew this one was our starter home so we haven't made it our own.  Now even more so with my family photos all packed away it doesn't feel like our home.

I'm ready to move on, but I will do as my good friend says and "hang in there".  It will happen when the time is right.  It's God plan, his time, not mine. And with that...I'm done. Ahhhh, I feel much better now. :)
