It’s Awful Quiet in Rabbit Valley

We're trying to sell our house.
It's a 3-bedroom house, almost 2000 square feet, but every time we get showing feedback, we heard that it was too small. Finally it occurred to me that perhaps, since we used one of the bedrooms as a home office and another as a t.v. room separate from our living room, that perhaps we were not doing our best to showcase just how many children you could cram into this place.
Hence, the massive rearrangement effort commenced. We couldn't move our son's bed into the office until we moved the computers. We couldn't move the computers upstairs until we moved our bed. We couldn't move our bed into the t.v. room until we moved the entertainment center. We couldn't move the entertainment center into the living room until we sorted through the 50,000,000 wires, held together with twist ties every six inches.
It was like a huge slider puzzle, only with heavy lifting.
Finally, most of the major furniture is in the correct rooms. Only minor repainting will have to be done and we seem not to have sustained any serious injuries.
All of this is just a big fat excuse for my lack of posting. We still have a couple dressers to relocate tomorrow, but Reds Caravan is on Saturday, so you can be assured that I'll be posting for that.
In the meantime, why not vote in the poll, start a diary, and check out my appearance on the Big League Baseball Report. You'll love listening to me try to be funny while Joe and Phil do their impression of an oil painting. Not so much as a chuckle when I said that the defense would improve because Griffey's injured? Come on!
way to represent for the Reds. I liked the true or false questions. I would have answered them pretty much the same. Well done.
Your entire family shares one bedroom?

Thanks RRB. It sounds like they edited out some of the more awkward parts, plus I think there must have been times they were actually laughing that I didn’t hear over the phone, because I felt much less like I was dying before the crowd when I listened to the finished product.
Sort of, BF. Our upstairs is really more than large enough to be two rooms, and we had it divided in half with dressers. It made a lot of sense through our son’s infanthood when we wanted to be able to respond to him immediately, but now that he’s five, it was obvious that he needed his own room. There just comes a point in a kid’s life when both he and his parents need a real-life door between them.
Heh. My boss can vouch for that. His three kids sleep in bed with him and his wife. He hates it, but doesn’t know how to get them into their own rooms.
His oldest is 6 now. I keep telling him not to worry, she’ll want her own room by the time she’s sixteen or seventeen…)
(And yes, he gets teased a lot about how he managed to have the second and third kid when the first one was sleeping between him and his wife. 😉
Bit of NY news… Jason Standridge was released by the Mets yesterday. Standridge was the pitcher DFA’d by the Reds to clear a roster spot for Bubba. He was picked up by the Mets four days later. You’d think they’d at least keep him until spring training.
