LIVID!

So I am pouring myself a cup of coffee getting ready to attack my packing again when I hear a knock at the door. I wasn't expecting anyone but figured it was my neighbor. I open the door to find two women and a young boy. One of the women is a real estate agent. She is there to show my house to a perspective buyer. She asks if I knew she was coming. I told her I had no idea. She then tells me that she understands that our house is under contract but that she was hoping we'd let her see the house as a back up to the contract. She says she's been emailing my agent who is on vacation AGAIN but that my agent hadn't replied. I don't know if they had already set it up and my agent didn't tell me or if she just didn't get the emails. My agent reassured me that even while she was on vacation she still took care of business that arises back home. I don't know what happened but I'm not happy.

My house was a mess! Each time we were showing the house I would spend a ton of time cleaning it. I wanted to make a good impression. Today, well today it was strewn with boxes. Clutter everywhere. My daughter was lounging on the sofa in her nightgown. My son was sitting on the toilet with the door open. (Don't ask.) I had dishes in the sink. My underwear was right on the TOP of my laundry basket! That may sound stupid to you but I always covered what clothes were in the basket with a towel or something. I was mortified to say the least. I felt so embarrassed.

Time to fire off an email to my agent. Let's see what she has to say.
