Selling this damn house =/

Well, we just had our third showing! Cross your fingers, and lets hope it was a good one! We haven't had much luck in that aspect of selling the house... Plus, the market's not a sellers market right now, so it makes it that much harder!

Let me give you a rundown of how the showings have been going....

The first showing we had came the day after we put the house on the market. Kris was off that day so we had been running around all morning and no one was home so when they called to tell us about the showing.... no one answered. Kris and I got home that day around 1pm and I took Gavin upstairs for a nap. We laid down for about 10 mins, and all of a sudden, the dogs are barking and Conner is yelling for me... So I run downstairs and he's like... Someones here to look at the house... I was like, WHAT? So the buyer and agent walk in the house and I'm running around like a freakin mad man trying to get the dogs to quit jumping on these two ladies, and Gavin comes walking down the stairs in his diaper!!!!! I finally get the dogs out back, and Gavin in some clothes and in my arms, and the agent goes... "Oh, this house doesn't have a formal living, we need a formal living" and they walk out. Needless to say, it was pretty much HORRIBLE! And I'm pretty sure that the whole "formal living" thing was just an escape goat because it was so awkward and uncomfortable for them. Poor ladies. I felt pretty bad, and pretty embarrassed!!!

Then we had our second showing yesterday.... We actually got a phone call this time, so we knew they were coming, and we got out of the house in time. However, this time it was a couple that was looking at the house down the street that's for sale, and they were ready to make an offer on it until our realtor talked there agent into showing them our house. Let me remind you, there is a house down the street from us that is for sale... It is our exact same floor plan but the other one has a lot of upgrades, and a pool in the backyard, BUT it is also like $25,000 more than ours. Anyway, they looked at our house, and decided that it would cost them more to buy this house AND put the upgrades in it, so they didn't want it. Bummer.

And, today I was watching Tori and Dean (best reality show everr.) and my cell phone rings... To my surprise it was another showing. This time it was from 2pm-3pm... I look over at the clock and it is 1:40.... Fabulous. So I wake Gav up, clean up the house a little bit, stump my freakin toe while I'm running around trying to get things done in 20 mins, and finally I get out the door... But I have both of the dogs and Gavin, and I was not prepared for this at all. So I ended up going to sonic and eating, then driving around aimlessly for 45 mins. Pretty fabulous.

SO, not much luck with showings so far, but I guess this is what its like when your house is on the market.... and we'll do what we have to to sell this house. Maybe the last person that looked at it will like it... We'll see.

Now, I'm offff to get some laundry doneee.

No more teenage years for me.

Well Hello! It is 1:49am on (technically) Tuesday morning, and I cannot sleep. :/ I was actually sleeping fine until I woke up to a big knee in my back, and to my realization, I was sleeping on like a centimeter of the bed.... nice (a king size bed, and I get one centimeter to sleep on, those boys are bed hogs). Anyway, I tried to go back to sleep and couldn't, so now I'm here... updating.

So, I just had a birthday. I turned 20 yesterday. Everyone is asking... "do you feel any older?" I reply with.. "I feel like I'm 30, but I've felt that way for a while, 20 is no different!" ...Although it does sound a lot older than 19... or is it just me that thinks that? I don't know, anyway.. I had a wonderful day. I didn't do anything big, had no big plans, just a nice day. My Mom took the day off of work so we spent most of the day together, and she finally got to see our new house (which she loved, by the way!) so that was fun. Kris and Claire took me out to a fabulous dinner. We went to Steve Field's Steak house... so deeeelicious! I love when I go to a good restaurant, and I get soo full that I feel like I'm going to explode, and I don't want to see any food for 12 days afterwards! Yes, that is how I felt last night lol... sicckk. But it was good while I was eating it!! So my teenage years are over, and now I have 21 to look forward to!! But, Kris will be 21 in September, and since we're married, I can legally drink if he is with me. Haha sounds funny, but its true. So 21 wont be THAT great lol.

My little boy is growing up. He is really catching on with the the whole potty training thing. Usually, I'm asking him every 20 minutes if he needs to go potty. But sometimes I forget, and he comes up to me and tells me, or I'll go to change a diaper (because he still wears diapers when we're out of the house. I'm not chancing myself on that one!) and his diaper will be completely dry and as soon as I take it off, he runs to the potty! He is so smart! So yesterday he had to go potty as soon as I got his "big boy undies" on him (go figure), so I took him to the bathroom downstairs (where I don't have a little potty) so I put him on the "big potty" and he pees, and I tell him how awesome he is and how proud I am of him, and he chimes in with a "Yay Mommy!" (so adorable!! =)) Then, to my surprise, he gets the toilet paper roll, and takes off like 2 little squares of toilet paper, and I'm thinking... hm, maybe he has seen Mommy go "pee pee" a little too many times, and he is doing what Mommy does.... well... no, he takes the 2 little squares of toilet paper, rips them off the roll, and throws them in the toilet... THEN flushes it. hahahaha so I'm assuming that he thinks that is what Mommy does, so that's what he is supposed to do. So funny. Now, every time he goes in the big toilet, he has to throw in his 2 little squares of toilet paper before he can flush it and leave the bathroom. It's pretty hilarious if you ask me. Still makes me laugh!

Well other than that, not really much new to talk about. Plus, I'm getting kind of tired now... So maybe I'll be able to go back to sleep this time.

Have a good night =)
