Rob's gone crazy about getting the house packed up and cleaned. I think he thinks that as soon as we list the house we will start to get people coming by to look at the house right away...I have my doubts. Everyone that we have told about selling our house has told us that it will sell right away, but again I have my doubts. I just remember it taking forever to sell our house that I grew up in. Not that I minded then because I really didn't want to leave it but still.
So this weekend we cleaned and packed and cleaned and packed and cleaned and packed some more.
Didn't make for a very relaxing weekend but I guess we won't have very many of those until we move. Rob says we have to be ready at a moments notice to show the house...I guess that means the days of lounging around in my PJ's watching Lifetime movies are over with.
I just hope Rob isn't setting his expectations too high. I think if we don't get bites on the house right away he is going to be very disappointed.
The amount of garbage that we have thrown out is just astounding. I guess it shouldn't seem such an amazing feat if we think about the fact that we are cleaning out seven years worth of crap but it was.
Tonight its mopping and scrubbing. Not looking forward to that at all but it's got to be done.
So, I've gained 12 pounds. Yup. I have really been oinking out lately, not following any diet plan other than the "stuff my face with crap" diet and it finally caught up with me. I started back on Atkins yesterday...only after we had pizza hut Friday and Saturday. I literally made myself sick Saturday night. I wasn't even hungry because I had been snacking all day but I forced myself to eat four garlic breaded boneless chicken wings from Pizza Hut and the rest of the cinnamon breadsticks right before I went to bed. I woke up early the next morning feeling like I was going to puke and couldn't stay out of the bathroom for more than five minutes. Luckily I managed to fall asleep and when I woke up I felt better. It definitely told me though that I have to stop eating crap. I'm making myself sick.
The hardest part about getting back on my diet is the fact that we don't really want to buy any large amounts of new food into the house. We want to use up the old stuff obviously so we don't have to pack as much. That doesn't give me much in the way of variety, and variety is what I need in order to stick to a diet. Sucks.
Oh well, hopefully I can rid myself of these 12 pounds before we move. That would be nice.
I really am not looking forward to being scrub-girl tonight. Yesterday was okay because I had all day to clean and pack and then wound down around seven to get to bed at a decent hour but I have a feeling we'll be going non-stop tonight until some ungodly hour and then have a hard time getting to sleep because of all the activity.
I just need to keep thinking about sitting out on the deck at the cabin in a total state of relaxation...
