The only life those kids have ever known is now totally different. It will be an adjustment for them. It won't be long before they sense the calm around them and see a big difference in their mommy. All you can do Stacy is encourage her that she is doing the right thing and support her...the rest is up to her. God Bless her for taking this first step. Remind her how much strength that took.

Update and asking for more advice(again!) I followed the advice to do everything simultaneously. It's still a work in progress, but other than the garage roof repair (which is scheduled) and some painting, all of the repair/maintenance tasks are completed. Decluttering and packing continues and I have 2 U-box (pod type containers) scheduled for delivery at the end of the week. Husband left Saturday and started the new job this morning. On Friday we met with a Realtor who we used as a buyer's agent (this is where I ask for advice). I'm not happy with his suggested listing price and I'm not sure I trust his advice in general. I know homeowners tend to overvalue their property, so I'm keeping that in mind. The comps he pulled aren't really comparable. They have lower sq. footage, some are missing things that we have like a garage and off street parking, they're in different parts of town, no updates, etc. He is suggesting a low listing price around the same amount that these properties sold for, or even $5000 less. Not even taking into account that we have replaced almost all major systems, appliances- which are at least mid-level, roofs, bath fixtures, flooring (except where we have original hardwood) and fencing- modern wood, not PVC, if I take the avg. sq. ft. price and multiply it by the size of our living area, it comes up with a price that's $50,000 higher. And the house directly behind us which he didn't include, sold for that. As did another one two blocks away- not through a real estate agent, so I can understand how he missed that one. I wouldn't consider listing that high, but I think somewhere in the middle is probably more accurate. He also wants to list at a price ending in $900. I thought the advice was to not do this, so you show up in two bands of searches. I realize that listing price is up to me, but should I worry that he won't put as much effort in, if I choose not to follow his advice? Am I missing something regarding his pricing strategy- he wants to go low to drum up interest and possibly start a bidding war, but if I'm unwilling to accept an offer of full asking price- it shouldn't actually be listed at that, right? I feel like he's just trying to get it done as quickly as possible to collect commission because it's in a lower price range that he usually sells in (or maybe he just isn't as familiar with this particular market because of that?) Thanks again to everyone who's been advising!

Thank you all! I did have a lot of help along the way. First of all, my amazing DH. He really stepped up to the plate. My 2 children came for the garage sale weekend, carried everything out to the driveway and then stood there(it was about 90 degrees that day) in the sun all day. We've been snowbirding to Orange County, CA since 2016. I cry when we leave and count the days till we return. When my DH finally said "it's time to sell in PA and move", I wasn't letting anything stand in the way(pun intended!). I'm really not amazing or any of the other nice things you all attributed to me. Ask anyone who knows me... I'm just really stubborn. When there is a will, there is a way.

Eld, the room is 10x11, no such thing as further back. I'm just pleased it fits a Q sleeper sofa. In other news, I am rethinking the other wall. I was going to use this TV cabinet from Maine (I am removing it from the living room because the adjoining new sunroom addition will have a TV and we don't need two. But now that it is up, I really hate covering any of the mural. Nothing on it and as little as possible in front. And we have found the TV in the MBR fine for viewing, to our surprise. (We have never had TVs in any of our MBR). So we are nixing the TV cabinet for something open, like a console. Better yet, a console/writing desk. Also, Mr. Wynn really looks fab in front of this mural and he could not go on top of the TV cab (it opens automatically from the top.) But he could be happy on a console. As far as a TV, my DH has a crazy idea about hiding something in the closet ... Meantime I am desk/console shopping.
