We don't know! Seriously...we are getting so tired of the not knowing it is making our hair fall out.
I don't know where any of our stuff is. I am having to buy the kids more clothes since I only packed them clothes for a week when I packed their things AND I can not find their clothes in the garage. We had the best intentions to organize the stuff in the garage when we moved, but due to lack of time it just did not happen. So, I went shopping today and picked up a few things for the kids. Chris and I will continue to wear the only 5 things we have in our possession, however. Nice! I will never wear these clothes again! I am all for surprises. However, it would have been nice to know we were going to be without our things for so long so we could have packed accordingly.
Chris and I have been looking at other homes. On Friday, we found one home we liked, but it had 2 things wrong with it. First of all, it backed to many neighbors. Second of all, it turned out to be a short sale and it said to allow 8 weeks to hear back from the offer. In a short sale, the seller owes more than the home is being listed at. Therefore, both the seller and the bank have to approve an offer. If you watch HGTV, some people wait MONTHS to hear back from the bank. With all of that said, we decided that it would be 3rd on the list at least. So, Friday we will head back out to take a look at some of the homes we looked at the first time to see which home we will offer on first, if need be. Our poor real estate agent!
Chris and I are trying to be patient. First of all, all of our stuff is in the 4 car garage of the home we have a contract with. It would be way easier to move it right into the house than to move to another home. We will lose money if we walk away from it too. It will come out to $1100. We should get our deposit back because the reason we would walk is because of the liens on the home.
We will give it a month to see how things pan out here. If the seller does not see anything clearing up, we will be forced to move forward on another home. Our hope: to be in our new home, wherever it shall be, by Christmas!
In the meantime, we will sit, impatiently, in the apartment on air mattresses where we share everything, including colds. I will not lie, the living situation is not pleasant. We have minimal toys for the kids, we do not have any furniture, and nobody is sleeping. Additionally, Chris hates scraping his car at 5 AM every morning, and I am dreading it when it snows!
Oh, better go. Time to go night night on the air mattress! WAHHHOOO! At least we will appreciate our home and our beds once we get into a home and crawl into bed.
