The Mobley Family

Well, short story short...We sold the house. We put the house on the market Monday February 10th, by 5:00 that evening we got our first call for a showing the very next day. By 8:00 that evening we got a call for a second showing the following day. Tuesday, we showed the house both scheduled times and by 3:30 that afternoon I got a call that there was a realtor in our driveway wanting to show the house. In fact, they informed me that she wanted immediate access and she didn't care about the condition. I told them alright and that I needed at least a couple minutes to get my kids in the car. I figured, the house was already clean from the other two showings, what could it hurt. We frantically got in the car and waived to the realtor as we passed them. That evening I got a request to show the house for a second showing the following day Wednesday. Wednesday afternoon following the showing, we received and offer on the house! Less than 48 hours on the market and we got an offer on our...

Today it's official. Our house is for sale. We are staying here in Bloomington as it seems a part of our hearts are here in this town. We just can't seem to pull ourselves away. We love how diverse Bloomington is and how much it has to offer when it comes to education and culture. We have our eye on a house and I will go into more detail when I feel the time is right. But for now, we are going to focus on keeping the house clean and ready to show at a drop of a hat. We have done this with two other properties in the past. The only ONE difference this time around and his name is QUIN! Boy oh boy is it going to be tricky to keep up with what I need to with my little Quiness the Menace around. We have really worked hard at making sure that everything has a place when it's time to straighten up. But when it comes to actually cleaning....I'll get back to you on that. I have to say, I'm not really sad in anyway about moving like I was when we moved from our house in For...

we got home yesterday morning about 11:00. it seemed like it took forever to be discharged! But we finally were on our way and Quin was able to leave in style. Quin was SO good in the hospital. they just kept saying over and over how much he tolerated and how great he was taking his meds. after a horrible nights sleep Monday night into Tuesday, quin took a two hour nap shortly after we got home yesterday. when we left the hospital, quin was pretty spunky and talked all the way home. but after his nap, you could tell that he wasn't feeling too good. he slept all night last night except when we woke him for his meds. he was not happy and we really had to convince him to take them or he would feel horrible when he woke up. he took a three hour nap today and has had a better appetite and has played but when he has done too much he literally just plops himself on the floor wherever he is playing. it's kind of funny. here's to hoping the next couple days continue to go up. I...

well, I DID get to spend my day with a monster. He had his tonsils and adenoids removed and a second set of ear tubes put in. this has been a very looooooooong day and i'm going to plan on it being a looooooooong night. the positive to this surgery is that because of his age, we are staying over night in the hospital so they are monitoring him closely. he is pretty miserable but it's quiet misery. he doesn't want anyone to look at him or talk to him or ask him questions. he just wants it to be quiet and still. i'm okay with that. much easier than him screaming and crying in pain. I know he's in pain now, but he is resting rather well. it's also much easier than having him bounce right back and trying to convince him that he has to rest. thank goodness rest is all he wants to do. it's sad seeing him feel so horrible, but i am getting lots of snuggle time. i'm dry heaving as i cuddle, but i'm cuddling nonetheless. if you have had a child go through thi...
