Sunday Was A Glorious Day...Yesterday, Not So Much

Looks like I have some explaining to do, huh?  Well, as you all know, I've been stressed out a lot lately with our house STILL on the market. It's been a real roller coaster ride, to say the least.  That being said, I got a call around 1 PM yesterday afternoon from a realtor wanting to show our house in the evening between 5 and 6 PM.  It wasn't a good time (is it EVER?) because that's when we sit down for dinner, but I agreed to it, any way.

So, as you can imagine, I went into my "Mr. Clean" mode and cleaned the house from top to bottom! I was sweating bullets! It took me a good couple of hours to get everything looking GOOD.  I decided to go ahead and pop our dinner in the oven to cook around 5:15 PM because it had to cook for an hour. I started to get a little nervous when the time approached 5:50 PM and we still hadn't gotten a call from the realtor saying she was on her way. It couldn't have been a second later when the phone rang.  It was the realtor informing us that she was going to have to cancel the showing because her client got called back into his office. WONDERFUL. I was not a happy camper.  The one good thing that came from it is that our dinner didn't burn.  She said she'd call today for a showing this afternoon or this evening...and I've yet to hear anything.  So, looks like it will be another day of sitting on pins and needles wondering if that call ever comes. 

OK...now on to happier things!  We had a wonderful Easter Sunday!  The weather was absolutely PERFECT...not a single cloud in the sky and temps. in the mid. 80's.  Our service at church was packed...I don't think there was an open seat to be had. The music and sermon couldn't have been more touching.  When we got home, we, of course, had to take our annual Easter pictures. It felt strange not having Brittany be a part of it...she was deeply missed.

Once we finished, I ran inside and got a few things ready for our dinner.  I had promised Abby and Chris that I'd make deviled eggs...we'd all been talking about them for days!  Well, we sat down at the table to eat glazed ham, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, rolls, and apple pie for dessert.  Chris and Abby looked at each other, then Chris said, "Um, April, where's the deviled eggs you made?"  Ever have one of those 'light bulb moments'?  That was definitely mine...I had completely forgotten to make them!  At least we had a good laugh about it!  Plus, I redeemrd myself because I made deviled eggs to go with our dinner last night. 

On a side note, please keep all of those in my home state of Arkansas who were affected by the storms and flooding that moved through the area yesterday close in your prayers.  There have been fatalities and lots of devastation. Those same storms are expected to move through here later tonight and into tomorrow.  I'm not looking forward to it.

I hope to pay each of you a visit soon...unless that realtor calls, again.  Oh, brother!
