T and I have been working our A$$E$ off these past few days. I've been working for over a week. We've been cleaning and organizing and boxing and moving things into storage. We're soooo close to being done. The realtor came over today. We're not hitting the market til next week. And though I'm a little disappointed and concerned that we're going to take too long to sell, it is SO NICE to just sit here and not be doing something.
My mom has come almost every day for the past 10 days to watch Henry while I worked. It has been exhausting. T is off to a focus group tonight so I thought I was going to be cleaning by myself to reach the deadline for tomorrow. Instead, I'm blogging and eating leftover burrito. H is asleep upstairs and I am relaxing. It's delightful. I'm exhausted.
But we're really close and we're going to keep working this week. I'm really proud of all we have done.
We're showing my parents the new house for the first time tomorrow. That's exciting. And as I'm typing I can hear the neighbors fighting and swearing which is why we are leaving this house to begin with.
Really, tired doesn't even begin to describe it.
Life as an adoptive family.

Sounds like you need a very well deserved break. We seem to have had the same burst of energy lately and have been taking on our house. I've got lots more to do but my back is killing me and I've got an earache. I've just had a chocolate dessert for strength. Hope to get more done tomorrow.
I'm very glad you're getting a bit of a break. It sounds like you've really been pushing yourself and need the time off.
Have fun showing your parents the house!
