home sick

so this is weird. just about the time we moved ten miles south of common sense we have wanted to leave. people just don't. have. a. clue. among other things. as you are all well aware. knowing this, our good neighbors mentioned to an acquaintance of theirs that we may be interested in selling our house. now, we wouldn't leave the area. we would just rent until we were officially ready. to evacuate. it would just make us more free. to move about the country. we showed the house today. even though it's not for sale. really. but when someone is interested in this market we thought we should do a dry run. we love our house. now that we fixed everything that was wrong. and just got done with the finishing touches. hmmmm. sounds vaguely familiar. anyway, couldn't really tell if there was any interest on the other end. especially after i mentioned the price tag. but before they left, one of the kids was climbing all over our brand new furniture. with his shoes on. and the other one spit out is chewing gum. on the living room carpet. maybe i'm not ready for this after all...
