Chaos

I feel like that is the word to describe our week.  Everything has been so crazy and I am trying to relax and not stress about the house, but I just can't seem to slow my mind down. All I think about lately is what needs to be done around the house, how the laundry seems to never end and all the other everyday household chores.  Then I start thinking about if we actually do sell this house and packing everything up and I get even more overwhelmed. I know I am getting ahead of myself and I need to just worry about right now, but it is so hard.  I am exhausted from doing things all day but when I get in bed all I can do is think about what still needs to be done.

Luckily, none of this seems to be bothering Brennen...he can relax for the both of us!

Ryan took off Monday and checked almost everything off of his to do list, so that was a nice start to the week!  We scheduled our roof to be replaced on Tuesday, so I took the day off. The roofers showed up around 8am and my Mom and I quickly loaded the dogs and Brennen up and headed over to Ryan's parent's house.  We let B play outside and made sure the dogs were going to do okay outside and then headed to have lunch with my Dad and brothers.  It was a nice break, but on the way home around 1pm we stopped by the house to see the progress. Most of the old roof was off, but they hadn't even started any of the new roof yet and were gone to lunch.  We had been told that they should be done around 2pm. I was hoping to be able to go get the dogs and bring them home to put B down for his nap and get ready because we were heading to the Royals game that night. 



Well, that didn't happen at all. B fell asleep right before we got back to Ryan's parent's house and when I carried him in and put him in bed he woke right up and it took us about an hour to get him to fall back asleep.

He finally fell asleep around 2:30pm so we waited until 3:45pm to wake him up and head home.  The roofers were still there and everyone was meeting at our house to head to the game. I had about 15 minutes to get myself changed and ready, pack a bag for B and get out the door, but we did it. The rest of the evening was AMAZING!  We had a blast and the weather could not have been more perfect.  It was so nice to have such a wonderful evening after such a crazy day!

The weather was gorgeous through Wednesday, so at least that helped make the madness seem a little more bearable!  I ran errands all day Wednesday and we ended the day with some ice cream before the cold front came through.

Here is what it looked like when I got off work yesterday :(  It is May, right?

I think next week should be in the 70's, so we just have to get through the next few days! We are meeting with the realtor on Saturday and our house should be on the market by Tuesday!  Looking ahead to the next few weeks of having our house on the market, I am going to try to calm down and realize that what is supposed to happen will happen. Yay for the weekend!
