Good Times

Ok, so I know my previous post was me venting about my pre-teen daughter and I greatly appreciate the advice and empathy but I'm needing to vent a little more again!(I promise all my entries won't be like this.)

I have had a pretty crappy week. The worst part about it is that I've had to relinquish control of my schedule to unforseen circumstances! I hate relinquishing control! My entire week has been spent dealing with the house that has suddenly been dropped in mine and Paul's lap and that we are trying to sell. So all week I have been painting and cleaning in order to make the house presentable. We have replaced carpet, linoleum, baseboard, paint, electric outlets and several other things. My husband has tried, to no avail, to get the awful smell out of the garage. It is a mixture of dog urine(they had 2 dogs in the garage) and cigarette smoke(they didn't smoke in the house, only in the garage) He has powerwashed the floor several times, as well as plugged in air fresheners and nothing is working. Is it wrong to tell our realtor not to take any perspective buyers into the garage?! So, I didn't make it to bible study this week and I was mentally & physically exhausted by last night that I didn't make it to scrap either! I really wanted to scrapbook with friends, I needed the break.

Today was a better day. We started off by going over to the house to vacuum the new carpet and put electrical plates back on and do some yard work. Then we went to Hannah's last game cheering! After the game we headed over to Linder Farms Pumpkin Patch! This is the best pumpkin patch. We went there last year and loved it. First of all the most expensive pumpkin is only $4.00 and that's if it's over 20 lbs. Plus they have jumphouses, a corn maze, a hay maze, several tractor rides and food! We spent almost 2 hours there. We ended up with 6 pumpkins and some fabulous gourds that were only 25 cents each(one looks just like a swan) After the pumpkin patch we went out to dinner and then I came home hoping to go scrapbook tonight. My husband was going to take my in-laws home and then come home. Instead, he decided to go to Lowe's to spend more money and get more stuff for the house. By the time he got home I was more than burnt out and layed on the couch with Lauren until she fell asleep. Now it's 10pm and I decided to vent! I would much rather be with friends scrapbooking. You all have so much fun wherever you go and I'm just missing out! I'm hoping to join you all for bagels on Monday before I meet Paul to execute our wills! Good Times!
