We found out yesterday that the sale of our house is not going through. The buyers weren't able to get the financing they were planning on. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. But, there is only one thing to do - get back on the horse, the work-horse that is, and try to get my house sold in the next 3 weeks. We are re-listing our house with a new agent and hoping to gain some momentum.
So, in the spirit of getting my house back on the market, I have been cleaning like a mad-woman trying to make things presentable again. We had a very busy morning and when I finally sat down to eat lunch, Brayden was the only one still awake and sat down at the table to talk with me. The following conversation ensued:
Brayden: I’m going to be a cowboy when I grow up.
Me: Ooh – that sounds fun.
Brayden: What are you going to be when you are a grown-up?
Me: I am a grown-up and I’m a mom!
Brayden: THAT'S IT?! You’re not someone who does anything or works?
Needless to say I was dying, laughing so hard. So, here's a little shout-out to you stay-at-home moms who don't do anything or work. Happy Friday!

Bummer about the house! But I am sure everything will work out, whether the house gets sold before your move or not. We have to get the boys together at least one last time before you guys go, it just seems summer busyness has hit us all at once but I'll give you a call and remember that my offer to watch your kids so that you can prepare for the move is still open!
that sucks! i hope you guys are able to sell you house in time! braydens comment cracked me up. so rewarding to know your kids value your efforts that much :)
Dang I hate that! Hopefully something goes through soon. WHAT are you thinking not doing anyhthing. How could you JUST be a mother!!
that's a total bummer! we'll keep you in our prayers! and now that i am a new mother, i can't imagine having time for any other job!! :-)
This is TERRIBLE news!! Oh man!! It was a real blessing though that you were released from YW this week. Could you imagine that on top of all this?? I LOVE Braydon! His thinking is absolutely up my alley. He cracks me up. Isn't it great having such cute kids?!?! Good luck guys.
Why do I keep spelling Brayden's name wrong???? Sorry about that!...There's no "O" dingledorf!
totally sorry about the house. I know the feeling. It'll happen. It's just never in ours and that's what makes it the most difficult sometimes.
bummer deal on the house. hope the new agent will be more "pushy" :)
love brayden's comment-made me laugh. good luck with everything in the time that you have-i can't imagine the to-do list(s).
That totally bites, but I'm sure things will all work out. I can speak from experience. I am going to miss you guys a ton. I guess we'll just have to come visit in Europe. Dang it. If you need to unload any girl items, I'm here for ya. ha ha.
