On the market
I’m tired of having our house on the market. I want it sold. We really need to change realtors. Our existing agent convinced us to let her keep it listed through the current listing period. (The listing expires July 2.) So we agreed, at the reduced price the other realtor we met with suggested. The new price got us some showings this weekend. (I think the first time we’ve had multiple showings in 1 day.) The feedback from those doesn’t bode well for a quick offer, though, and I’m really looking forward to switching agents, assuming lack of a miracle that will bring us a contract on the house by the expiration date.
It’s all just very depressing. Maybe the new agent will have the magic touch when we can get it listed with him. But I can’t help fearing that we’ll just have to live in this stupid house until we die. And we don’t really have much of a life in this house. Mr. Tldz can’t work from home here on any kind of a regular basis and his commute is so long that we barely see each other during the week. We can’t do the entertaining we’d like to do because of space constraints. We’re uncomfortably crammed into a small bed because our bedroom can’t accommodate anything larger. Not to mention that toddler stuff overwhelms the whole house and there’s really no space we can claim for grownups. Oh well. I know I’m supposed to see it as a blessing that we have a roof over our heads at all.

Yep…Thankful for the roof over our heads. Not grateful for the little bit of useful indoor space that we have. I totally understand the crammed feeling. I have been trying to get rid of excess furniture and whatnots for a while now. We are really trying to convince the boys that they have most of the house, but our bedroom and our office are to be toy-free and little boy free zones. I can’t wait for the heat to go down so that we can finish tackling the backyard. Made some great strides, not I just want it done so that I can send them out there while I tackle things inside!
Hang in there!
