And then there was nothing but germs
The house is gone. Some out-of-town buyer came in and gave them an offer they couldn’t refuse. We couldn’t and didn’t want to compete. I feel like I’m grieving. I didn’t realize how badly I wanted it and I’m upset. We went to see another house tonight with high expectations and it was horrible. Pink and green nastiness, orange walls with green carpet. . . just awful. Plus, they totally lied about there being a 4th bedroom. There were only three and if that house was the square footage it says it was, well then my square footage is 4000.
Speaking of horrible, Lil C’s virus has turned into an ear infection and she has finally succeeded (after coughing in my face all week) to pass along her lovely flu-ish virus to me. Even Airborne couldn’t hold off this stupid virus. I want to crawl in bed, get under the covers, and just stay there all week long.
Back to square one.
i was hoping for better news. 🙁 i’m so sorry it didn’t work out with that house. that just has to mean there is an even BETTER house out there for you and your family.
when my mom was in full swing house hunt here in seattle last year she found this house she loooooved. she put in an offer, they countered, she countered back, someone else came in and gave them an offer they couldn’t refuse and she couldn’t/wouldn’t compete. she said, “well i fell in love with a house, moved in and decorated it in my mind and then lost it all in just two days.” (my quip was that it sounded an awful lot like me and my romantic relationships.)
i hope you feel better!
Sorry to hear that. You’ll find another one, but I can identify with the “moving in in my mind” comment made above.
🙁 I’m having a virtual mojito for you right now. Feel better!
I’m truly bummed for you BBM. I will spare you the “destiny” post but still believe there is a reason for everything that happens good or bad. I’ll say a prayer for your family and you know–God listens to us Catholics!!!! Things will work out for you, I’ve got a good feeling.
Clearly it wasn’t the right house. 😉
It truly is a buyer’s market and when you find the right house, you’ll definitely get it at a fair price and with a terrific interest rate.
Man, sorry about the house. You’ll find something much better, I’m sure.
