Holy Suckage, Batman!

The buyers of our house back east withdrew from the contract. According to them, there was too much involved in making it a 4 bedroom house. Why they weren't looking at 4 bedroom houses to begin with, we will never know. Lame-wads. My anger yesterday was well founded I guess.

Our house should be back on the MLS listings as of tonight or tomorrow. We've lost about 2 weeks. Maybe some good will come out of this. I mean, they had that inspection done, so we know what the potential problem spots are with our property. That means no surprises. We might be able to actually take care of some of those "problems" before someone else makes a bid. That can only help us sell. I'm hoping this time around we can make a bit more money off the sale too. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed that we can get it sold in the next 2 to 3 months. Positive thoughts, positive thoughts, positive thoughts....

As far as the house out here, we are still going forward. We don't wanna miss the opportunity on this place. It seems like it's the right place for us. Just enough room, good lookin' neighborhood, and it'll be good feeling for me to have a permanent home set up for the baby. We should be closing on that July 13th.

We'll be back east the first week of July to meet the relocation packers/movers. To tell you the truth, I'm not very excited about the trip back. The problem is that it seems like I have to use the bathroom every 20 minutes nowadays. Not very conducive to long airplane rides. I asked the relocation people to try their best to sit me on an aisle seat, as well as sitting me next to huzbend. The last two times we flew out here, huzbend and I had to sit apart - one seat behind the other. I'm hoping that since I gave them almost a months notice that they can hook us up. Might be tough though since it is so near the July 4th holiday. I'm interested in seeing the packers come in and pack up all of our stuff in one day. That is going to be so weird. At least we don't have to do it. Yippee!

As much as I am dreading the financial burden of carrying the two places, I am really looking forward to having a home again. I also can't wait to have our STUFF again. I want my bed back, along with my pillows. I want my couch back. I want my washer and dryer back. It will be good to be surrounded with familiar things again. It will feel more like HOME.

Welp, that post was a downer huh? It's kinda hard to be upbeat when things seem like they are about to get REALLY complicated. I'm just going to have to go with the flow. Take it one bit at a time. What I should really do is stop reading my pregnancy books about labor. It's not helping the worry factor at all. Let me tell you, that is some freaky sh**. I think it will only be recreational reading for a while for me. Happy Happy Joy Joy.

I think a Dairy Queen Monster Cookie Blizzard would help....or some pizza.

April 2024 - Part 2

I'm not gonna lie. The rest of April was about Cinderella and pretty much just Cinderella.  We arrived back from Mexico for the start of...
