Offer

We're taking the plunge on D. house and making an offer tomorrow. Tonight will be spent reading through the contract, gathering proof of funds, fretting over the amount, and thinking, "Holy crap! Did I just commit myself to this?". But we love the house. It is by far the best we've seen and it fits so many of our criteria. And if it is accepted by the seller, we'll own it before the month ends.

The emotions right now are all over the place. On the one hand, I love the house and the fact that we can finally move from this cramped place into something that will better suit our family. But we'll be leaving friends that we've grown to love. And where will I get Chinese food in the middle of the night? Will I find some homeschooling groups that are like-minded? Will my kids adjust to new places and people? I had to take A to the doctor this afternoon for an ear infection and I realized we won't have this doctor anymore. That actually may be a good thing, but I digress.

Then there is the stress. Packing, sorting, gifting, moving, cleaning, repairing - and that's just on this end. On the other end we have inspecting, cleaning, painting, moving, decorating, establishing. Yikes! Since we'll be trying to rent out this house ASAP, we'll have to get our behinds out ASAP.

So here is to the next two and a half months of whirl-wind craziness. Time to get organized!
