Where I whine and feel sorry for myself...and then hopefully snap out of it

We were SO DAMN close to having a buyer for our house. Last Sat a lovely couple were scheduled for their 3rd showing and it was 95% sure we were getting an offer. This couple was perfect for my house...young couple, first home, and they really "get" the character and charm of a house that was built in 1929. A half hour before the scheduled showing

I LOLed at 'Douche Bag for Kirsteen' because you know I totally read DB and was like 'DB? What's DB?'

We were in a similar situation with our first house, and even had a contract on it. The day before the contract pending period in which you can still pull out without financial loss (you know the period in which can get inspections and things done) our immediate neighbour put their house on the market. When our buyers came to the house One last time they saw our neighbours house, decided to view it and because it had all bedrooms on one level decided to buy that instead. I was so livid!

I do remember that now that you mention it. Having to move back to Australia I'm sure added so many more layers of stress!! I underestimated how frustrating it would be to have the house on the market (and how stressful!). We've had a few other potential buyers come through for 2nd showings but they all dropped for whatever reasons, and it didn't bother me that much because I figured there wasn't anything out there that I loved. This time though, finding that other house is making things much more difficult.

I know that everything will turn out fine, and I am in general upbeat about the process. Last night though I was just down in the dumps and super whiny. Hopefully that has passed.

I am totally over all the snow. I can never get the baby to nap long enough to tackle the shoveling so we end up doing it late at night in the dark after the kids go to bed. I'm SO OVER IT.

Sorry you're not getting to your routines. But I see your pics on facebook and you're not fat. That doesn't make it suck any less when you want to get your workout...but rest assured that even if you feel bad, you don't look it. :)
