How do you do this?

Our house is on the market. We haven't officially decided what we are doing yet (Vegas or HK), but I think we're pretty sure we're heading to Vegas. We both really want to move to Hong Kong, but after doing some research, we found that 1.) it's so incredibly expensive to live there that we would be living no where near the fun part of HK on a first-year (or 5th year) FedEx salary, and 2.) FedEx may not actually be hiring guys with no heavy/international experience. So. Vegas looks more likely.

Now we (I) are (am) in the process of tidying up the house to make people not only want to buy our place, but pay a premium for it. Do you have any idea how hard this is to do? I didn't. There are toys everywhere. There is too much furniture in almost every room of the house. The yard is full of weeds, and the house needs touch-up paint on too many surfaces. And people who want to see the house can call with 30 minutes' notice and expect us to leave so they can walk through it! GAH. Tim thinks we are crazy for listing the house before the Heritage Festival is over (March), since he won't really be able to help much with things around here until it is over. But our realtor pointed out that if no one sees the house, no one is likely to want to buy it, so here we are. I am trying to be somewhat organized about the whole thing, but find that I start one project, and get distracted by another one mid-way through it. Oh, and I have 2 children who want attention most of the time. So. It's naptime, and I need to get at least one of my 800 things to do done. Catch ya later!
