Spring cleaning and a move

Posted in Ponderings

Now that the weather here in eastern MA is finally getting warmer (it will be in the low 70's by the end of the week), we are doing a huge spring cleaning. Mostly because our house is going up for sale this week. This is something my husband and I have been talking about for months now and have decided that this is the time to do it. With any luck, our house will sell by the end of June. That way Matt is out of school and I won't have to put him in a school for a short amount of time. Although I would take that oportunity to ask to homeschool him as well.

The only thing I am worried about is the fact that this house is in some serious ned of TLC. My inlaws (it was their house for over 40 years) did nothing to maintain it other than a few coats of paint here and there. I know those "flip that house" type of shows are pretty popular right now, so I am hoping a flipper (or someone who can see the charm of this house and quiet kid filled neighborhood) will by the house and give it the love it needs.

I see a H-U-G-E yard sale in our near future. One persons junk is another persons treasure. My hubby and I have accumulated so much "stuff" over the past 9 years we have been together. We still have all his parents stuff here as well from when they passed away (over 4 years ago). I hate yard sales and our neighborhood actually stinks for one (easy to get lost up here), so it will have to be at my BIL in NH.

Well, back to cleaning. I'll post some more things tomorrow. Like all the lapboosk we have finished that I haven't posted yet and some pictures of our cat homeschooling. They are cute.
