OMG guys

So we are putting in an offer on a house on Monday. While touring the house, we noticed a lot of bunk beds. We counted/figured nine kids lived there. We asked the real estate agent if it was foster home or if they were all the owners kids and she said they were all the owners. DH just found their blog because he is nosy, and it is "sellers last name- quiver". They have twelve and she is 33 weeks pregnant. This house is 2800 square feet. I guess some of the older ones are married or gone.

People, this woman makes me feel like a disorganized pile of mush. The label maker gets no rest in that house, and not a thing was out of place. Pillowcases were embroidered with names. And she homeschools and makes their clothes, and their bedding. It was like going through the duggars house.

Oh, and their wasn't one tv in the house.

Wow.

[candreco]

Jesus. If I had 13 kids, I'd go nuts with the label maker too.

[turkletsmom]

Whoa. I thought I was doing good keeping my house together with one.

[kristie]

No, seriously, the house is spotless. My house looks messy in comparison, and I consider myself a little OCD. Not a thing out of place. But if I didn't have tv to distract me, and it didnt get in the way of my laying around doing nothing time I would be that organized too. Plus you know, there are lots of little organized hands to help.

[lolc]

How did he find their blog? Googling their last name?

[kristie]

No, we have mutual acquaintances and when he mentioned seeing the house, and all the kids, they pointed him to the blog and said there are more than nine kids.

If I didn't have the internet (don't really watch TV) I'd probably get shit done too.


PS - don't tell that to my H.

I'd have to label each kid to remember their names.
