I could be doing something useful, you know. When I was playing Scrabble with my friend Barry, though, this came to mind and gave us all a big laugh. So here you go, Pirate Scrabble:
I love PhotoShop. . .

So Friday, the inspector, the buyers, one of the parents, and several realtors were at the house for three and a half hours. This was stressful for me, and add that the buyer had arranged for a window guy to come and do an estimate, and we had our mortgage banker coming over for signatures, and the phone didn’t stop ringing between the bank, the lawyer, and the realtor. After that was all over, my kids had friends over – lovely children, but still, a house full of screaming girls. My stress level was over the top.
Saturday dawned with me feeling much calmer, and after a chat with my realtor, and a call from the lawyer saying we were out of attorney review, my friend calls to have a nice day together getting costumes for the kids and having dinner and getting out of the house. It was a good thing. I also got all the laundry washed and folded – Bonus!
Today has been mostly lazy except for some cleaning and packing. I’ll do some more tomorrow after we’re all finished with the Sunday papers (I already used up the stuff we had in recycling for packing!). The kids have a day off, I’ll let them play and laze around after they pack another couple of boxes. I’ll call the mover, pack more things, throw more things away. . .
We made an offer on a house last night. Pretty cut and dried, nice and easy as we could make it for the sellers, but they won’t be able to look at it until tonight, so we won’t know if we have it until after dinner. I’ve had a headache for days.
The kids have been so good about the whole thing. They understand the idea that we’re dragging them around so that they have a say in picking their new home, but Audrey stayed home from school today, she’s so exhausted. (Carolyn was determined not to stay home, insisted on finishing her homework at 11:00 at night.) I’m hoping that at some point in this process, it’s going to be smooth sailing for a change.
