conditionally official

it looks like I just bought a house...

here is the MLS link

there are no photos of the inside because the people have not removed a cobweb in probably 12 years. The cobwebs are cross breeding with the dust bunnies :)
And they have 'stuff' LOTS of 'stuff'.
The inside is painted lots of random crazy colours.

So the first thing I will do upon getting possession is deep clean from top to bottom and then paint the whole thing. There is/has been smoking in the house. So it is on the smelly side. Fortunately there is wood flooring through the whole house so I don't have to worry about the cigarette smoke being in carpeting, etc.

Right now...I am working on to-do lists, buying lists, and scheduling my children's lives. I am looking for a plan of action of what to do with my children (2nd to 5th) while I deal with lawyers, closing details and a couple of days of non-stop cleaning :) I can send J to respite through the CAS so it would mostly be CO. So if someone wants to go to my cottage for the long weekend in August for free, they are more than welcome, the only catch is an extra 4 year old :) actually he can be watched anywhere, but the cottage is a great environment. (peaceful, parks and a pool!)

My children are having a whatever day. The babysitter over the weekend decided to 'clean'. Unfortunately her idea of 'cleaning' is to stack and shove things up high and out of sight. SO, I get to spend today digging and redistributing all my belongings. I can't even find most of the CO's homeschool stuff for the week because there are piles up high on all my bookshelves and cabinets. I had left it all on my diningroom table knowing that I was going to be busy after work yesterday. The two baskets of laundry I asked her to put away (of boy's clothes) ended up shoved in a corner of their room and rooted through and mixed up with dirty laundry. OH joy! She has done this to me a couple of times so I finally sent her an email and explained that I would appreciate her to stop shoving and hiding as it really isn't as helpful as she thinks it is.
