Just feeling overwhelmed right now about random things. My husband and I decided last month to start house hunting. It was supposed to be exciting. It has been to a point. His mom is constantly sending house links that she finds on Zillow which is fine but Zillow doesn’t update in real time so we get our hopes up and find out from our realtor that the house is already sold.

Our realtor said it would be a good idea to have our house listed sometime between March-May. Those are good times to sell. So his mom has been on me about getting things packed up and decluttered. So last month I moved a bookcase, an antique record/radio cabinet, 4 dining room chairs, 2 small bookshelves and a treadmill (extremely heavy) into our garage one day. I moved a futon couch (really heavy) into a spare room to stage as a bed. Started painting to update the moulding in our house from fake dark brown wood to white. I was exhausted but I’m a SAHW so I’m doing my part.

Last week we found out we’re expecting after 3 years of TTC. I thought all the heavy lifting for sure took us out but it didn’t! I have been the dead walking since we found out. Down right exhausted. Yawning 24/7. She’s coming to visit/help pack this weekend from out of state. I’m excited to see her but I know the whole time she’s here she’s going to complain to me about how we have too much stuff and talk me into getting rid of some of it. Our house 1500 sq ft and she lives in a literal mansion that’s 5500 sq ft. She doesn’t get that we work with what we have.

I’ve tried to pack more this week so she’ll be off my back but I haven’t been able to. I can’t lift most of the boxes. My husband has been really busy with work and when he comes home he doesn’t want to do anything pertaining to packing. I just know next week while she’s here is going to be awful. I’m going to be sleeping standing up.

Sorry I needed to get that out. All my friends keep saying I need to focus on rest and tell her to shove off but she’s very pushy. 😔
