March and April update! More to come

Where to begin...........2009 has been a rollercoaster ride!! Let's start in March.
March: In like a lion!

Pooh turned 26!!! I have NO idea how a child of mine can be that old.
Mom, dad, my two brothers, and my nephew Ben came up to help get the house ready to put on the market. (I don't want to sell my house) We replace all the interior doors, all the baseboard upstairs and in the entry. We put in new ceilings in the laundry room and in two closets. New lights in the laundry room and garage. Tore up and replaced the carpet in the entire basement. Installed a new vanity in the master bathroom, and painted , painted, painted. Celebrated Cowboy's 9th birthday and packed Shrimp and sent him off on his high school band trip to Italy!!

All in ONE week!!

April: Emotionally cloudy and rainy.
We interviewed realtors. (Have I mentioned I don't want to sell my house?) The moving company came through for a pre-pack walk through. Decluttered, decluttered, decluttered! Did a few more projects the realtor suggested. My 49th birthday and our 28th anniversary came and went. The stager came to make my house look not like my house. It did look very nice, just not mine. Flew to Atlanta to start looking for houses. Got the house listed on the 21st with a Realtor Open House.....Clean the house, leave the house, showing.
Clean the house, leave the house, showing. Start planning for Shrimp's graduation party. Clean the house, leave the house, showing.

Toot and Cowboy did an amazing job of keeping their things picked up and beds made!
