Sweet Potato . . .

In case you were wondering, no I haven't started studying for the CPA exams.
Do I feel like a loser because of that fact? Yes.
Do I have the motivation to push on and start studying? No.

In other news, we've decided to put our house up for sale by owner. The hubs' career path is very specialized and quite frankly there's just nothing here for him in that area. It's something that's going to have to happen eventually, so I just figured...might as well put it out there and try. It can't hurt...and these days you never know how long it will take to sell. There are tons of houses for sale around here and several have been up for a long period of time.

I figured we'd try to clean up this weekend and get a sign to put up next week.
Once I told a friend we were thinking of doing this, though, she mentioned someone in town that's looking to buy a house. I text this person and guess what?! Her and her husband are interested in taking a look!

You know what that means, right?! Jenna's gotta clean!! So what am I doing while the dirty dishes sit on the counter, dirty laundry is in the baskets, cobwebs are dancing in the breeze of the fan, carpet screams to be vacuumed, and wood floors beg to be swept and shined? Nothing. Sitting here drinking a Diet 7up in hopes of settling my stomach.

Where's this motivation going to come from to clean this place?! Why did I buy such a huge house?! I shoulda hired a cleaning lady!! haha ;)

Where are we going to go when someone truly wants our house?

I. Have. No. Idea.

I'm holding onto the belief that if the Lord is gracious enough to send a buyer our way, He will also guide us towards our next home and give us the courage we need for the journey.

On the baby front...yesterday I was 18 weeks ... and still not really showing. I'm at that terribly awkward stage where I can't button up any of my pre-pregnancy pants, only have a couple pairs of maternity/stretchy pants, and yet don't really have a bump. My "bump" is rather...flabby. Doesn't feel much different than my pre-pregnancy flab!! haha

Two more weeks until we get to see our little sweet potato and find out if we're having a prince or princess...if cooperative!!

Baby:

•is the size of a sweet potato or bell pepper (depending which app I use).

•is amazingly mobile.

•measures in at 5.5 inches and 7 ounces.

•is yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking, and swallowing.

•is finally letting me feel the movement, but only a little bit and rarely.
