Some days I feel like this...
...because I have pulled my hair out after hearing the words, "It will happen in the next day or two." The "it" is anything from the offer being accepted, to our loan being approved, or the house inspection going well, or the waiting to sign papers only to find our that the HOA needed to be approved by HUD, and therefore taking us past the 45 day escrow. Seriously people! This is YOUR job! This is what you do for a living and you didn't think, oh I don't know, maybe on the first week of escrow, to check if the HOA had the proper approval?
That leaves me/us feeling like this...
...and wanting to cry because after 45 days things still could go wrong. We're now on day 59 after we started our "escrow" process. And we keep getting the same, "It should happen today or tomorrow" crap from everyone.
I've tried really hard to keep myself as "Eeyore" as possible and not let my true excitement seep through so that I'm not disappointed when things go down the toilet. But then I do find myself buying towels, and a couch and thinking about how we're going to decorate. Or the thinking, I can't wait until we're in our own place so that we don't have to share a washer and dryer with 3 other people or worry about Clark falling through the stair rails, or just the simple act of Clark having his own room so that we can help teach him to sleep through the night.
The middle of the night screaming leaves us feeling like this...
...because you have just been woken up by your child, and you have to lay as still as possible but wait, your uncomfortable, so you move and then your child screams more and then you give up and bring him into bed with you.
And now there's the added stress of thinking about Thanksgiving coming in two weeks from today and you wanted to have Thanksgiving at your new house and you are now realizing after a visit to the good old storage unit, that there's no way your going to get all your "stuff" unpacked in that time.
Maybe I'll learn to listen next time. Oh and for the record, It's 4:08 on Thursday and we were told that we were going to sign papers Monday, then Tuesday, then Wednesday for sure, but nope it's now 4:08 on Thursday and we haven't signed papers yet, let alone wait the couple of days for the loan to pay the sellers and then the deed be recorded and then for us to finally get the keys so we can redo the garage floor, paint the kitchen cabinets, put up a kitty door to the garage, put up a back splash in the kitchen, redo the grout on the counters and hang curtains.
Wish us luck!

Sorry to hear that it's been taking so long! We've bought two houses in two different states and never had that much crap go wrong. Hopefully it will get better SOON!! :)
