We are now officially Tired of Showing This House.
We shrugged off sympathy initially, carried on as we were by the tidal force of enthusiasm for the new and exciting. Enthusiasm, however, either needs new fodder or adequate rest to continue it, and we have had neither. After one or two showings a day for the past two weeks, we're up to three showings today. Reputedly this flurry of activity is due to deadlines impending on the first-time home buyers' tax credit, which everyone hopes will be extended, but only after a lot of people have already signed contracts.
It's impossible to keep things looking in top condition forever. The fresh wax is scratching up and the paint on the doorways is awfully easy to chip. Its charms are fading, although I vow I really will mop it again today. Or maybe tomorrow.
So, first time home buyers, gather ye rosebuds while ye may.
And let us get out of here. We've had enough of this stifling neatness.
Edited to add: Make that FOUR showings today, and I really did mop.

There are those who would gladly accept the problems you are facing.
Of course, those people are not necessarily living in the house they are selling, so I suppose there might be some difference.
