TIRED OF MAKING LEMONADE

This weekend has been exhausting! On top of such a crazy week, the weekend always seems full with a long to-do list. Yesterday, we were so tired, we didnt even meet up with friends as planned.
Friday evening was fun. We went to look at a house for a 2nd time. Still love it. Still ready to move into it. Still haven't sold ours (cue whaw whaw whaw music). We came home, I made homemade pizzas. Didn't last too long. Matt was super tired from doing EVERYTHING this week. It's really hard when one person in the pair is out of commission!
Saturday we woke up early, weeded the front flower beds....for 4 hours. There isnt even that much to do, just tedious weed pulling. I mowed the yard, while Matt finished up the weeding. We got a phone call for a 1030am showing. So we left, took Annie to the dog park (she needed to release some energy). Came home, I went to the grocery to get a few things so I could make lunch. get home, get a phone call at 1230 that the people who showed at 1030 want to come back at 130pm. WTH?! Fine. It's only 100 degree heat. And we have a dog. So we drove around, took Miss A to Petsmart. Came home. Fixed salsa, showered & drove out to the Pollard's house for some pulled pork. We barely made it past 8pm. Bodies were aching, headaches were painful. It was definitely time to come home and crash!! And crash we did, until about 7am.
Today we took Annie back to the dog park. She LOVES to play there & is almost always the cutest dog there. (Ok ALWAYS). Then we came home, did some more yard work & watered A LOT!
We are exhausted! This house really requires a ton of looking after & work. Feels like almost all we get to do on the weekends is work on the house. We are ready for the right buyer to come see our house & fall in love with it! And I'm pretty sure Matt & I are ready for a brand new house. I'm not gonna lie here, selling our house is the hardest thing we have ever had to do. It's emotionally taking a toll on us & exhausting. We are learning a lot as we go, however. I think we are just ready to be done:) And move on to bigger, better things! I saw a friend post the comment to "Stop worrying about nothing and pray about everything" on facebook. It really made me realize that god does ultimately have a plan for us and we need to have faith in him. And its ok that not everything goes as we always want to.....Matt & I both are perfect examples of that! So, to that, I am trying to be a more positive person and be more hopeful about things to come!
