Sister visiting — Panic ensues

My sister will be here on Sunday evening with her husband and three children. While I’m looking forward to seeing them, I’m also slightly panicked about getting the house ready. I’ve been slowly finishing projects and getting things put into place. I’ve had one week and still I’m not done…

Dishes are done. Kitchen is (mostly) clean. Bedroom is clean. Sun room is almost done, just have to hang one more shade. The sunroom back door was fixed last night (took several hours to get the deadbolt working properly). My office looks like a small explosion hit. So does my closet. That will be sorted pretty quickly.

The hard part is cleaning out the closet in the second bedroom so I can get to the cot and other things the kids will need.

Arg. Friends have asked me to go out tomorrow evening for my birthday. Another friend volunteered (WAS DRAFTED!) to help me Saturday morning and afternoon. Hopefully we’ll finish the painting and yard stuff.

And of course everything else is due this week too… Just a little bit of panic setting in.

  • Showings

    I’ve received two notifications on the house today for two showings: one this afternoon at 1:00 and another tomorrow evening. Wow. Lots of activity but no offers. I know the house has an odd floor plan–that’s what happens with additions and remodelling–but it’s still a great house at a reasonable price. How in the world…

  • Strange things…

    Have you ever joined a Web site like Reunion.com? You can search for, and sometimes find, people you knew in college or high school. Some times this is a good thing, other times it just brings flashbacks to preferably-forgotten memories. When I was in middle school, I met a wonderful person who lived across the…
