flying solo

after interviewing realtors, studying options, gaining advice from real estate attorneys, doing research online, and much discussion, we have opted to proceed with the sale of our home on our own. i'm convinced it's not what i want to do, but why change the story of my life at this point? i thought once this decision was made, then all the other decisions would be so much easier. for some reason the dominoes aren't falling like i expected. i was never very good at getting those to fall smoothly and continually anyway.

but what am i snickering about? the big decision was made, right? now i only have the simple things to look forward to...reviewing real estate contracts, getting educated on the closing process in the state of new jersey, packing tons of boxes, fielding annoying calls from realtors, deciding how much more to do to the house before showing it, ignoring 4 kids, pretending the house doesn't need cleaning, filing taxes, selling a car, pulling weeds, painting, and wishing i had hired help for everything.
