After seeing all of the bigger houses today the boys are sort of motiviated to help get the house ready.  They want to start NOW.

That's great.

I explained what it means to get ready to move.  I said we are going to start with going through all of our stuff and throwing away what is really junk.  We will give away stuff we don't need or use any longer.  We will box up stuff we don't need this summer, but label the boxes well.  Then we will clean and paint and repair.

Then I explained that when we go to bed each night the house will have to be ready for people to come and look at it the next day.  That means trash emptied, dishes put away, nothing left out, beds made in the morning.

It was at this point that they decided maybe we should just stay where we are.

I tried to explain that this will be temporary, but it wasn't sinking in.

Also...there is some apprehension on the point of Younger Boy.  He seems sad to be moving.  Part of me wonders if he thinks he won't be joining me.

Prayers for motiviation and discipline in getting this project DONE!!
