The Wednesday Simmer - Having A Choice Over How To Feel

Is it me or does it sometimes feel like just when you think you've got a handle on your busy and hectic life, another heavy task is thrown in your direction.  Sure, I guess it's a matter of saying NO to the insanity, but sometimes you just can't.  Especially when all the cards are lining up.  As for me, that's exactly what happened.  The baby was somewhat sleeping through the night, I had just finished another logo for a client, my writing schedule was manageable, voice overs were slowing down for the moment AND The Hiccups! record was almost done.  I actually was having some free time to myself as the baby napped.  I have to say, it felt a little weird but I was beginning to enjoy it.  I should learn never to get too comfortable though because WAM BAM.......we found a house we love and now we're selling our house!!!   AAAAAAAH!  The insanity begins!

So now my free time is being spent on decluttering, painting and pretending no one actually lives in my house.  After all, when you show your house everything has to be clutter free, no mess, no toys and basically unlived in.  And you never know when your realtor will call to show it.  Yeesh!  This will be interesting with 3 kiddos:)

So yesterday, I started to panic.  Could we sell this house?  Were we making the right choice?  Would we miss our beautiful home and all of the amazing memories?  Could I keep this house unlived in with 3 kids?  So many questions and absolutely no control over any of the answers.  And if you haven't figured this out already, I am a complete control freak so this was killing me!  

But then I realized that I did have control over how I would choose to feel.  I could either see this as the opportunity that it is for my family and ride this crazy wave, or I could worry myself to death.  Well, for me, the decision was pretty simple.  The hard truth is that I have a lot of little and big people in my house who count on me.  I can't worry myself to death.  That just wouldn't work.  So, I'm riding the wave and seeing where the cards fall.....but hopefully not all over the floor because seriously, I'm trying to keep this place clean!  Woo-hoo!  Let's hear it for.......I'm selling my house!

Check out my house HERE........maybe you'll want to buy it :)  Yup. I'm shamelessly promoting my house.  Can you blame me?  After all, keeping it clean with 3 kids might be the end of me.  Wait!  I almost forgot.  I'm choosing how to feel and I choose to ride the wave......yup......I got this :)

What a charming house! If I was looking, I would buy it. Some lucky family will, and will inherit the good karma left behind by the Schloss'.

    Welcome to the Noodles On The Wall Blog, a place where I share the trials and tribulations of a creative noodle maker. (That's me!) My life is full of noodles and I've learned it takes a dash of inspiration and a pinch of creativity to throw them up on the wall to see if they stick. Hope you stick around!
