Another bunch of posts in the making, more in the "LA" part of the blog title than the "NJ" part.
Here's the NJ part: we had a showing with a well-known, respected SOM Realtor today. She will be returning with the same clients tomorrow. This is our first "second showing." We have another showing at the same time tomorrow. I am hoping that this means that the market is picking up a bit.
Tomorrow we will transfer our beloved gerbils to the Spanglers' house. They are considering adopting them when we move, so they are taking them for the week as an experiment. Although we could certainly move them with us, there is a lot of anecdotal evidence that gerbils explode on airplanes since they can't handle the air pressure change. Best to leave them in the care of beloved friends, me thinks.
After the Great Gerbil Transfer, we have a birthday party at 12:30, another one at 4. I broke down and booked myself a facial at Fringe at 3pm, since my eyebrows are approaching Sasquatch levels, my nose is rufflily with dried skin chunks, and my roscecia is out of hand. I'm about to go to LA and need to put a good face forward to my husband's employers, and why don't I get a nice foot massage while I'm at it?
Our beloved mother's helper will be over from 3-7, so after the Large One has the birthday party 4-6, Evan and I will leave the Small Ones with her and go have a drink aprés Birthday Party.
Then we put the kiddos to bed, pack for six days for five people, get the house back to perfect showing stage, put all the bags on the front porch, sleep for about 37 minutes, get up and rouse the kiddos at 4am, and catch a cab and a 6:30 flight to LA.
What's in store for next week? A Seder with my sister from another mister and her folks, a few apartment showings, a visit to the Lot, a visit to the WB Child Care Center (where Lucy is roughly number 1894 on the wait list but hey! maybe we can see Shiloh and Pax during the tour!).
And then? Two days at Legoland. So that during the next three months, when the kids think about moving to LA, they will think, LEGOLAND!
I promise to blog heartily if you will comment. Deal?
Woo!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for booking that facial..you're going to need it after a night with no sleep and a 6:30 am flight to LA with three kids!
ReplyDeleteLegoland was not enough to bribe our son.
