Yes, its the "get ready to put the house on the market" dance.
Time to box up the books and toss the clutter and finish painting.
I just bought two area rugs off ebay for 70 bucks each (they're 7X10, too so given the price I expect that they're fall apart in about 4 months.)
We have the paint, I've started putting up the infamous blue tape. My parents have agreed to watch Nikolai. I think we're going to do this the second weekend in January. The house will actually go on the market 1/1 or thereabouts but, as we all know, no one buys houses in January.
We have to rent another storage unit for all of the furniture in the basement. (and my grandmother just fell and broke her ankle so we're moving her to an assisted living facility down here, so I'm expecting a ton more furniture to come my way- like there are 5 marble topped pieces and there are 5 grandchildren, etc.)
We, of course, don't know where we are going. (although my husband mentioned Ft. Hood in passing. Ft. Hood is not on the list. Ft. Hood was never on the list. But apparently there is a possibility. The only positive thing about being sent to Ft. Hood, is that we could save a ridiculous amount of money and be able to buy a Big Ass Rowhouse in DC when we get back here. That's about the most positive thing I can think of at the moment.)
So...it begins again.
