Breath

Things are taking a turn for the worse in the house news around here and I'm just going to take a break from blogging every five minutes of the process.  Posting pictures of the house was a bad idea because it may not be where we are living after all.  I know things work out in the end but right now that does not seem possible.

I'm trying to remember the lesson from Up.  "It's only a house."

I need some time to see what happens after this.  Hopefully I will be back soon with "it all worked out, I'm just being a drama queen" news.  At this point I honestly don't know.

I'll be on twitter (of course) and here.  And there will still be shoes.

Send wine and ice cream and kleenex.  And something to do in the wee hours of the night when I can't sleep.  (And get your mind out of the gutter.  As if right now). 

All I can say is this.  I know it is going to be okay.  I do.  But right now it doesn't seem like it and I'm devastated and I can't pretend that I'm not.  I wanted this house more than anything.  I know there will be other houses.  I know someone else will buy my house.

But at this point, I can't see it.

Bah. I hear tell that everything that happens to us happens to us for a reason.

Right. I know that that isn't so helpful now, but if the house doesn't pan out, try and imagine that it was because the gas line was funny and that it's a bomb waiting to happen.

That probably isn't helpful either.

How about good mojo? Can that help? If it does, I'm sending it your way.

Hang in there hun. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and thinking about you. Take all the time you need ... :)

[cagey]

Ack.
Will be thinking good thoughts for you today.

[pgoodness]

Keeping fingers and toes crossed that everything works out...and quickly!!

[cindy w]

So sorry. Hope it works out, and FAST.

I'm sorry things aren't going smoothly. I had some pretty hairy issues when I bought my house and it DID work out, it just took a really long time.

Hopefully everything rights itself soon for you. I'm sending good house transaction vibes your way.

So sorry, lady. It WILL work out. It has to, somehow. Be kind and gentle with yourself and know everyone at MamaPop is here if you need us. xo

You poor thing. It's so awful. I remember the house roller coaster ride too well (and unfortunately we're going to have to ride on it again to hopefully get what we want this time...sometime in the next year or two). Take care and try to stay sane. Eat cake.

Buying a house is so emotional. We lost a house that we thought was ours after the seller decided to pull it from the market. I went through a serious grieving process and then we found Our House. Hopefully this passes soon and everything works itself out.

Drats! I know this probably won't help but we thought for sure we had a house and literally on the way to inspection found out we didn't get it (very long story and fired agent). In the end our house now is the absolute best house we looked at (including what we thought was the perfect one) and we are so so happy that we didn't actually get that first one. So, hopefully this all will work out but if it doesn't then hopefully the next house is even more perfect!

When we bought our house I knew it was "ours" the second I walked into it. Unfortunately an approved bid seemed to mean nothing and the next thing I knew someone else would be moving into MY house.

I was devistated. Gutted, and then, I swear to God, I looked at a the NY Post horoscope section and under my sign it said "something that seems like it was lost to you will come back." Turns out that the people who were going to buy MY house changed their minds and we ended up getting it back.

And best of all, we dropped our offering price for all the agita. Go check your horoscope. I hope it works out.

This too shall pass but I know it hurts like hell in the meantime. I'm hugging you from halfway across the country. Can you feel the love?

i know exactly what you mean. we sign closing papers on the house we're moving out of next wednesday & i still feel like it could all fall apart. i hope that when we go to buy a house in arizona it all goes smoothly as well. it's all so tenuous, this house business.

Oh God, this is to hard. Just try to remember that giving yourself an ulcer over it will not change the outcome.
