Righty-O’s

I dread the phone calls
Nap time.  Dinner time.  Trashed house.
Can we show your house?

**********************

I haven’t talked at all about the inconvenience of having a house for sale with two small children (one of them who’s freakishly messy), two basset hounds (both of which have “issues” with slobber and ickiness), a husband who is utterly incapable of picking up his dirty socks, and me-a person whose housekeeping skills are lacking. 

I’ve tried to be accomodating, albeit through gritted teeth and utter annoyance, but accomodating.

We had a showing last night at 6:30.  I know I should be thankful that we having any showings at all in this lackluster housing market, but come on people!  Six thirty is our dinner and wind down time.  It’s a mere 45 minutes from my own personal promised land where my children are finally sleeping!

I emailed Tate about the showing.  Here’s what transpired:

Jennifer to Tate:
Showing tonight. 6:30, yo.
 
How the heck are we supposed to have dinner?  Jerks.

I thought you said mexican, not righty-O’s.  I do not like righty- O’s.

By the way, your son spit on me today.

My son spat on you?  Atta boy!  Better than being shat on.

Do you all see what I’m up against here!  Do you SEE?!  The realtors, my husband, my own son…they’re all out to get me.
