So I spent all summer getting my house ready to put it on the market, and then it sold in a week. It would have been great, except that the two houses that we wanted both sold just before ours did. Now we're closing on our house in 16 days, and we don't know where we're going. We found a house that we love, and it's the right price, but the yard is so small which wouldn't be as bad if there was a park close by, but there's not. We found a house that's okay, with a yard that we like in a neighborhood that a bunch of my kids friends live in, but it's $30,000 more than the other one. Which is doable I guess, but then we wouldn't have any extra money to fix it up the way we want it. Our other option is to buy a lot and build. We're looking into that today to see if it's worth it. I don't know if it would be. So basically, I've been getting up n the middle of the night, not being able to sleep, racked with anxiety about being homeless. I pull out my laptop, put on some Friends, and let it try to drive my worries from my mind so I can get back to sleep.
In the meantime, I've completely neglected this blog. So much for my twice a month goal huh? Here are some of my summer highlights... on the few days that we weren't packing, painting, cleaning, digging, working...
And now back to searching zillow.
