Finally

The house is on the market! Last night after the realtor left felt so weird because I didn't have a project to do. I took Friday off work and finished painting the deck and patio. We had extra deck paint so I painted the front of the shed too. I would have done the sides but there were way too many bugs over there for me. Saturday was spent getting the house cleaned and Sunday was spent putting a new fan in the living room. The old one broke at the last minute. I think it's going to be nice for a few days to relax but then it will probably start to drive me crazy to not have anything to do.

I really hope the house sells quickly. We're excited to move but I think we'll be sad too. We've put a lot into this house and now that all the work is done, it really looks great. I don't think it would be sad if we were upgrading to a better house, but knowing we're going into an apartment for a couple of years kind of sucks. I know it's for the better in the long run though. I would rather sacrifice now than struggle for the rest of our lives. We have debt but it's all old debt. We make enough money that we're not having to charge things, but we can't pay off our debt either which means money is always tight and it will be a long time before we get a second car. Not having a car is driving me crazy and we should be able to pay off the credit cards and our car in two years in an apartment. After that, we should be able to buy a new house and be comfortable.

Somehow, I actually lost 1.2 lbs. last week. I weighed in at 185 even on Friday. I ate pizza like 6 times with all the projects we had going on so I'm not sure how it happened, but I'll take it. Hopefully, now that I'll have more time to prepare my meals, it'll pick up again to the 2 lb. range. Of course, I'm happy with anything below 0 but the faster the better.

I think Lily's teething pain has subsided for now. We had a rough couple of weeks while her top two teeth popped through but she seems to be less fussy and sleeping a lot better now. Pete's family all have this hereditary gap in their two front teeth that they all hate and they were all hoping Lily wouldn't get but I think she's getting it. There's definitely some gum with no teeth in between the two top teeth. I said she'll have to get braces and Pete said no that'll just keep the boys away.
