The insanity.
So get this. As you know, we are trying to sell our house. When you have a house showing, lots of meticulous work goes into it. There is at least an hour routine of cleaning, hiding things, and maybe even baking cookies. So we get a call that we have a showing for after my luncheon. Normally, not a problem. I just have to take time off of work. I get home and the pool is making weird sounds. Are you kidding me with this? So I am frantically filling it with more water & tinkering with it after scooping the poop outside (I start outside and work my way in just in case I track dirt in- there is a system to the madness). Anyways- it fixed the problem. Phew.
To make it more fun, all THREE babies have a cold. And for those of you who are around, you also know that the witching hour of when all THREE babies have their meltdowns is between 4:30 to 6. When is the showing you ask? 4:30 to 6:30 was the window. No biggie tho. So lets make it more interesting. when we have a showing, we have to hide all the cool baby paraphenalia. That means the sanity saving jumparoo and activity mats as well. Plus Chaz was at a meeting from 4 to 6 and Looraine had softball. Son of a gun. So after exhausting house clean up and cookie baking, I am on the couch alone with three sick babies.
The people show up and were out front for like 10 minutes (takin pics, too). It was a 2nd showing. It was a caravan of 2 minivans. First a couple get out. Then a baby. Then another kid, then another, then another, then another realtor, and like 2 more people. It was like a clown car or something. So they come in, take a long time, do their thing. And then. they want to see the garage. WHAAAT?!?!? Are you kiddin me? I have THREE babies (one blowing snot bubbles the entire time that I was able to hide) and they want me to show them the garage where the dogs and a mess like no other are. Crap. Miraculously, the kids all behaved. I let the dogs out after I kicked all their kids out. They saw the garage, thought it was cool. And now we wait. Again. Of course, as soon as they left the meltdowns commenced but at least they waited for everyone to leave which was nice.

At least they waited. I can't wait to see them in person!
