I want to buy a new home. A bigger home. Our home is crowded. It is two bedroom and the boys need their own rooms.
We didn't have much going on today so we went to look at model homes.
Both boys did pretty well all things considered. I did a lot of pre-teaching prior to going in and offered a bribe of eating at their favorite restaurant if we could just get through the homes peacefully.
We toured six homes. I found one I would love to build. It is the same one I have wanted to build for over a year.
As we were driving home we were talking about what it would take to sell our house. How each day when we left it would have to be SPOTLESS. How when things happen they would have to tell me IMMEDIATELY so they could be repaired. Right now NO ONE would want to buy our home unless they were looking for a fixer upper.
Here's our list of TO DO before the house can go on the market...
1. Clean the boys bedroom wall where there was pooped smeared on it and repaint.
2. Figure out how to get trumpet oil, which is blue, out of the boys bedroom carpet.
3. Figure out how to get red ink our of the solid surface bathroom sink. We already know four things that DO NOT work.
4. Patch hole in bathroom wall where the door knob went into the wall after the stopper was removed and thrown away.
5. Patch hole in hallway wall where someone punched it.
6. Replace two doors where holes were kicked in them.
7. Replace two stairway spindles where they were kicked out and wielded as swords.
8. Remove carpet and repair subfloor where it was broken from someone jumping in anger.
9. Replace the living room carpet where strawberry syrup spilled in the middle of the night and the chair was moved over it.
10. Replace the basement carpet where grape juice was spilled in the middle of the night and a throw rug was put over it.
11. Clean the kitchen counter where grape juice permeated the kitchen counter from the same middle of the night eating binge.
12. Fix the blinds in the boys room where they were kicked and broken.
13. Fix the sliding glass door blinds where they were pulled down "on accident" during a wrestling match.
14. Remove the BBQ sauce that squirted all over the kitchen wall...no idea when or how.
We have our work cut out for us. I am ready to move, but we have to change out ways!!
