Showing the house... ugh!

Our house is STILL on the market... going on 13 months now- yuck!! Anyways, lately there has been a surge of showings, I don't know why- but it is a pain!

On Monday I was sleeping because I worked Sunday night (11pm to 8am) and at noon I had a call from the Realtor that a client was coming to look @ the house in 1/2 hour. Which means I have to get out of bed and run around cleaning all to be out in 1/2 hour-- UGH! Then, today the realtor called to see if we could show the house at 2pm, I asked if they could bump it to 3pm so I have time to clean and get Carson some lunch before we are rushed out of the house... the realtor tells me they have an appt @ 3, so I agree to 2. I run around like a chicken with my head cut off, get Carson fed quickly and rush out the door... I drive back into the driveway @ 3pm and take Carson up to bed for a nap... guess who comes to the door-- the realtor!! He says "oh sorry we are running a little late!" I asked him if he could just bring his clients thru with Carson and I still in the house and he replies that his clients don't feel comfortable with us in the house- WHAT!!? You are shooing me out of my own home?? So, I get Carson out of bed and leave AGAIN all to hear that they aren't interested- UGH!!!!!
If we don't sell this house soon I am going to go crazy!

Urology update

Well, Carson had an appt today and not so good news... his testicle is "trapped" and has to be surgically fixed. The dr wanted to go ahead and schedule the surgery for the end of the month because it increases Carson's chances for normal sperm production and testosterone production... but the anesthesia risks decrease after the age of 2, so we decided to wait until then. Who needs testosterone anyways?? :)
On a serious level, I am already having butterflies in my stomach about the surgery. I have seen one too many "medical mistake" videos in my line of work!!
I am definately counting my blessings though because we have two sets of friends who's children are battling leukemia and bonemarrow transplants :( This is small potatos compared to that!

Fair pictures

I know I haven't updated in a while, but nothing really exciting has happend around the Zimmerman house lately. We spent the day at the fair yesterday and here are a few pictures to share. Carson had a blast!! He absolutely loves outdoors and animals!

We take Carson to the urologist today and hopefully we will get a plan for his continued problem... we will keep you all updated.
