The Cloud Has Started To Lift

I've been stressed out about a lot of things for the past few months.

I've been trying to find the right medication to able to feel like "me" again. I've been dealing with Zander's eating disorder (that's a whole other post). I've been working like mad to get this house ready for sale. I've been trying to keep my house spotless for the benefit of potential buyers...not an easy task with 1 and 2 year old boys destroying it as quickly as I was cleaning it!

And then there was the stress of actually selling the house. Would we be able to sell it quickly? Would we be trying for months? Would we be able to get close-to-asking-price?

All of this stress has manifested itself as an enormous, dark cloud hanging over my head, threatening to wreak hail and havoc at any given moment.

But the cloud has started to lift.

The word SOLD has never sounded so sweet!


NOTE: Before anyone thinks Canada in August requires long pants and sweaters, I will just say it was unseasonably cold the day this picture was taken (August 18th).

very, very, very excited for you. I am sooooo sure you have been stressed. I remember trying to sell our house when I was pregnant. Yeah....those house showings while I was stuck at home on bedrest----not easy.

I can only IMAGINE how hard it must have been keeping it perfect with a 1 & 2 year old!

Yay, you're back! The crap weather for most of August couldn't have helped your state of mind, so I'm happy to hear you are beginning to heal. I blame myself for wishing for cooler weather during the July heatwave.
