Everything is running full speed ahead on the sale of the house in Sturgis. We are scheduled to close on Wednesday and at this point I see no barriers to that day coming through. When I spoke with our buyers the day of the home inspection, they were closing the sale on their house on Mar 20 and would be homeless for 4 days until the closing on mine. They certainly have high stakes in closing on the scheduled day. What a relief for us. Being able to get rid of that house payment and all the other bills that go along with owning a house even though we aren't living there. This also means that the need for me to return to work soon is not as great. Although if you talk to me a couple weeks into summer break, I may be feeling quite differently about that!! I've always said there was a reason I am not a stay at home mom - I'd have to kill the children. And with them coming into the teen years with a vengance, that feeling may be doubled. The good side though is with them coming into the teen years, they will have me home to moniter after school activities and hopefully keep them out of trouble. Not sure how much trouble they could get into in the middle of Amish country, but I am sure there is enough.
The weather has taken a turn for the better and the mud has dried up. My vow to get out each morning and walk will begin soon. I have most of the items brought from Sturgis sorted through and the boys are almost ready to have their own rooms again. (My thighs of a teenager never happened - all I ended up with was a sore knee from all the stairs. Life is SO unfair!!) Although the snotty boys that were around my house over the weekend got that privledge delayed by a few days. I am going to have the "staging" room ready by the time the boys get home from school today and if they are ready for it, they will help me move Pete's bed and all will be good.
