My house has never been cleaner!
We have our first "looker" today - they'll be looking at my house right before I get home from work. I'm trying hard to be non-anxious, but this really has me tied up in knots. Is the house clean enough? Will they hate what we've done? Will we get an offer and have to move before the new house is ready? My parents have sold at least seven houses, and they made it look awfully easy (except one, but that was the mid-1980's....). We have an open house on Sunday, and I've got my list of things to do to make the house even better.

The kids are doing a great job keeping their rooms clean. Perhaps this will get them in a new pattern and they'll continue to be neat when we move. Okay, dream on, Mom.
A nice story about my builder....on Friday, the developer asked him if he wanted to be one of their "preferred" builders, which would make him much busier than he is now. This could be a major turnaround for him, as he got burned when a development in which he was building went bankrupt. He's gone from my little house to one more little house (at my referral) to a third little house (at the second family's referral) to possible quite a few little houses. His year will definitely end with a bang! My little house is just about to get moving. His bank finally approved his construction loan, so all that's left is the appraisal (which should be done any moment), then he can close and get started. I'd really love to be drinking champagne this month - and maybe it will happen!
