this ain't no picnic in the park...

so today was my only Saturday off until November. The sun was shining, it was super warm and the plan was to meet some friends at Point Pleasant for a picnic with all the kids and brown bag beer for the adults. Marse packed up a bad ass picnic w sandwiches, boccaccini cheese, fresh cookies...and beer. Lola was dolled up in her little yellow dress that one of her grandmothers probably bought for her (thanks Nanna and Gam!)...and we headed out.

Here's where it gets weird...

I said, "If we sold the house today what would be buy?". We've been keeping our eye on 2 very different places. So we talked about it for a second and then the phone rang. it was my Mom saying a real estate agent was trying to reach us and that they had a couple who were leaving on a jet plane later this afternoon but really wanted to see our house before they left. my first reaction was Hellll No. I'm taking my baby(s) for a picnic and no one is gonna stop us....

and so we turned around in Point Pleasant Park (40 minutes from home) and headed back home to clean the house and cut the lawn (by hand...because the mower broke 5 minutes in).

so we get all ready, clean the house, pretty it up and split. we went for coffee down at the Bike & Bean and my phone rings again...its our agent saying the couple were at the house but the their agent didnt have a key to the lock box. So I head back home AGAIN to open the door to let them in.

An hour passes.

An hour and a half passes

The phone rings.

Its our agent/marse's mom - she said they LOVED the place and were headed back TO.

My one Sat off went from picnic w the kids to hand clipping the dandelions and raking leaves while being eaten alive by black flies.

Wanna know how it all ended?

Me too....
