It appears that Christmas is packed away for another year, except that every time I turn around I find one more thing that needs to be put away. And I would swear that all the Christmas decorations either expanded or multiplied- nothing seems to fit back into the boxes it all came out of just a few short weeks ago. And Alisa stole her stocking this year, and took it home with her, so until I get that back, Christmas just won't be complete.
When we packed away Christmas last year, I would have bet my bottom dollar that we would be spending Christmas 2009 in a new house. This year, I'm betting my bottom dollar that we will all be bonkers before (and if) that new house is ever a done deal. We are hunkering down for a turbulent voyage through the waters of home purchasing.
The house we finally decided to make an offer on accepted another offer today. And now that the possibility has been snatched away from us, it seems like that was the only house for us. It feels like we missed out, like we hesitated too long. All the second thoughts we had seem not to matter anymore. Then when I checked the listings it seemed as if all the other houses we were considering had disappeared too!! I know it's really not probable that every house we looked at got an offer over the weekend, but we are in an irrational panic mode at the moment. Here's hoping the ride smooths out enough for us to get our heads back together before we do something stupid.
