Am I insane?
Jeremy and I made the decision to put our house on the market this week (after talking with our realtor we decided that even though the market isn't that great right now, we aren't in a position where we have to sell so if we don't get a good offer, oh well). Wednesday our realtor is coming to take pictures so it is a mad rush around here to get things cleaned up and moved out. We are packing some of our extra "stuff" up (like old baby stuff and winter clothes) and moving it to Mom and Dad Sherwood's to make our house look more spacious. Then tomorrow we are having a sheet-rocker come and fix these HUGE cracks in the back rooms of our house from the settling of the house. After the sheet-rocker finishes tomorrow night (did I mention he isn't even starting until 5 pm?), Jeremy is taking a personal day Wednesday and doing the touch-up painting right before Vicki comes to take pictures. Then hopefully everything goes well and our house will be up and listed by the weekend. Which means that then we will start (hopefully) having people coming to look at our house; which means that I need to get on top of keeping it "show-ready" all the time! Really? Keeping a house immaculate with a two year old boy? Again I say, AM I INSANE?!?!?!?!

Yuck! I don't envy you in the slightest! It is so hard to keep a house clean with kids!! Good luck! Where are you guys going to move?
Good luck with all of that!! Any thoughts on where you will move to?
We still want to stay pretty close to where we are now, but possibly move to the other side of highway 26 (over by West Union/Bethany area). But mostly the reason for moving is space; we would love to get another bedroom and a yard. What we really want is a house that we can stay in for a while (like years) and not grow out of it like we have with this one. We haven't started looking yet because we don't want to get our hopes up for another house and then we can't get out of this one.
Good luck! They say it's a great time to buy, if you can sell, and even that is picking up again this spring. Hope everything goes great!
I feel your pain. I hope it goes well!
:)
Wow! I can't imgagine even buying a house yet let alone selling one and then buying another. I don't envy the constant cleanup and hastle, but I do envy having your own house. At the rate we're going se'll be in our mid to late 30's before we own our own home! Good luck with everything.
