I got a whole bunch of stuff done yesterday.  I packed up a lot of little knick-knack things and all the extra stuff from the laundry room.  I rearranged the living rrom a little and I think that it makes the room bigger, but no one else likes it because you can't see the TV from the kitchen table.  I don't see the problem with us sitting there with no TV, but I am in the minority.  I am not going to change it because there you can't see the TV from the kitchen in the new house either. 
I think that the living room, kitchen, laundry room, and both kids rooms are ready to show.  I have to wash all the windows and mirrors, but that is it.  The playroom is so hard to keep clean, because as soon as I walk out, they are getting stuff out again.  This is the very first room that you see when you walk throught the door.  I have taken a lot of stuff out and boxed it up and put it in the shed so there is so much less clutter. 
Now all that remains is the master bedroom suite and the kids bathroom.  Neither are very bad but they both need to have the floor scrubbed.  I also have to scrub the shower in the master bath.  I need to replace the seats in both bathrooms, but i found those for $5 apiece at Wal-Mart so that it no big deal. 
I think that I am afraid if putting the house up for sale becasue it won't sell.  Eventhough we have a lot going for us that lots of the other houses in the are don't.  We live on a cul-de-sac, we have a one of the larger homes in the area. And we have drywall through out, instead of that plastic paneling that is common in manufactured homes. 
I am just overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done, what with school starting again, G in daycare, selling/moving,  going back to work.  I just don't do anything.  I could have gotten so much done already this morning, but here I sit.  need to finish my coffee and get moving.
to be continued...

I don't know if anyone will ever read this but maybe just chronicling things will help me to get my life in order.
We will be able to move into the new house on less than a month and I don't even have this one up for sale yet because I haven't been able to get it show ready because I am the only one doing anything (except for my WONDERFUL mom who comes over 2X a week and works her butt off)  I have painted the majority of the house, spot cleaned all the carpet on my hands and knees painted all the trim, Packed an enormous amount of crap so that our house has that sparse for sale look.

I need to put G in daycare while D is in school so that I can work those days @ the studio and actually complete things while I'm there.  I have gotten some pricing, but have not yet enrolled her anywhere, even though there are only 3 weeks until school starts.  I haven't done any studio paperwork almost all summer and NEED to get that up to date so that I can do all the beginning of the season stuff.

Just when I think that I am getting almost to the point where I can call the Realtor, something happens and I fall behind.  I still am not getting my routines on place so that I am only a few minutes away from company ready. 

G is potty training and is doing pretty well but I am still not to the point that I want let her out of the house with out a diaper.  D thinks that he is the smartest, most important, little boy that God has ever put on the earth.  Sometimes it takes all I Have to not just shake him.  LOL  Neither of them listen very well and I know that that is my fault.  D will argue everything.  He thinks that he can change our minds about anything by talking us to death.  I have learned to tune him out when he starts this, but Frank cannot take it and generally gives in.  Luckily,(or not) F isn't home very much. 

Why is it that my kids think that I am the dumbest creature that they have ever met??  They will look right at me and disobey, but when I react to discipline them they act like they are abused, cowering and say please I won't do it again.  But then do Iit again in 5 minutes.  They don't get spanked as often as I did and mostly their punishement consists of TO, or TV or toys taken away.

I know that I spend WAY TOO MUCH Time on this laptop and that is most of my problem.  So I am going to end this now and get some stuff done.
