These are the girls’ Valentines this year. We printed up a ton of them, and they wrote on the back and taped on a sucker.

I’m pretty proud of myself.

Happy Valentine’s Day to you all. I was half out of my wits yesterday with fatigue while at the store, and bought way too many sweets.

Enjoy the day! Here’s hoping my contractor has made a miraculous recovery. And if I’m counting right, I only have one more color of paint to touch up!

We had our pre-listing inspection today. Fortunately, nothing major came up, which thrills me to no end. I was paranoid.

Our “work party” went well on Saturday. The extra furniture and packed boxes are all moved out, and the men cleaned out our 700 square feet of blackberries which makes our already big yard (although still ugly) seem even bigger.

Nate and I went on a cleaning/packing frenzy last night after the kids were in bed which, while it wore me out, did wonders for my mental state.

Now the kicker…

My contractor that has been working on, and is not finished with the bathrooms, and who was supposed to start on my kitchen floor today has the flu.

We are set to list on Wednesday, with walk-throughs starting on Friday, open house on Saturday, barely over a month remaining ’til we move, and I have no idea when my house is going to be put back together.

There is still a toilet in one of my bathtubs.

Is this THE flu? Will it be a 1 day flu? Is there such a thing? When I think of the flu, I think of being flat out for 2 weeks, recovering for another month afterwards because that’s what happened to me.

I want to cry, and I’m sure that once I finish my list of things to do today, and I’m able to sit and rest, I will cry. I’ve already come close.

I’m getting so burned out. I’m tired. I’m being very careful not to lift anything heavy and hurt myself, but I’m staying plenty busy, and it’s wearing me out. The emotional drain contributing, I’m sure.

Plus, I still can’t eat without discomfort. I had a grilled cheese sandwich today for lunch, and it HURTS!!!
