This is me. Clearly. This is a stack of realtor cards. If you have never sold a house, or bought a house, you might not know about this, but every time a realtor shows a house, they leave a card.
I kept a dish by the front door, and if you count, 50 realtors showed our house. 50!!!!! Think about that. Each one brought with them 2-5 potential buyers with them. In three months, we had over 150 house guests? How happy would I be if all of them brought me some nice dark chocolate, and laid it in the dish, instead of card stock?
Did I clean my house to perfection? You bet I did. Did I need to? Absolutely not, but I wanted to. Now, my house is 70% in boxes, and it is hard to tell if it is a mess, or if I am moving. It is probably both. This morning after I got the kids out the door, I took a nap! After this, I'm putting all my fabric into clear plastic bins, so I can see in, and get organized! After that? I might fill a box with kid-closet stuff. This is not the glamourous part of a short-sale, and come to think of it, none of it is too appealing. I know cable TV shows try to make getting organized, home sales, and yard work alluring, but still it is just dusty, dirt and hard work.
The top card is the realtor who's clients are buying our house.
