Did I jinx myself?

And I thought yesterday was crazy...

Today DH and I kind of took it a little easy this morning... until about 11am when we got a call from a Realtor asking if she could show the house at 4pm. I was like CRAP! I was hoping to do serious cleaning after DH left, and just finish up some organizational stuff. No such luck, so DH and I spent our last day together mad cleaning - not company cleaning, showing your house to prospective renters cleaning. INSANE! We worked like dogs trying to get the carpets tolerable (they're being replaced, but our Realtor said "people react to what they see") trying to get the bathrooms organized and the master bedroom straightened up. Oy! I forgot to get to the downstairs bathroom, and the basement and the garage are disaster areas, but those are almost acceptable. The master bath isn't in great shape either. I - FINALLY - finished painting it yesterday, including the tough to reach area behind the toilet. There's a lot of paint spatters on the floor, though, that I haven't yet gotten up, and the caulk around the bathtub could use some help.

Once we got done all that we were reasonably going to get done, we both took a quick shower and were seconds away from leaving. DH wanted to say goodbye to the kitties, so we found Eliza (easy) and then looked for Henry. We couldn't find him anywhere. For a solid 15 minutes, we were panicking, running around outside just in case he had gotten out, looking in every conceivable spot for him. Finally, we found him sitting on a chair in the dining room (tucked into the tablecover, which is why we missed him the first ten times we looked there). We quickly got on the road and got to the airport.

But the story isn't over yet. DH's flight was supposed to leave at 530 for a 9pm flight out of Philly to Manchester. DH just called me at 6 to tell me that the plane they were counting on using had issues, and they're being switched to another plane. I hope to God he makes his connection. Argh!

Well hoping ain't getting. DH is home again tonight; his flight rebooked for tomorrow. I'll be sure to make the most of it ;)
