Hang in there. My cousin keeps a folder of "images and things that cheer me up".....anytime she sees a picture that is particularly funny she puts it in the folder and pulls out the folder when she needs a laugh. Let me see if I can find something for you....... ![]() |

Here you go - my kids as babies in hysterics when I was trying to get a "nice" picture of them for Grandma's birthday. Wasn't quite so funny to me then..... Haha, it makes me laugh. Hope it makes you smile. |

lol well that worked for me TBF! It's so stressful waiting FG, I feel like our lives are a little parallel right now so I know how you feel. My husband is waiting to hear back on some very exciting news himself and it's just torture, really and truly. He desparately needs a "win" so I know how you feel and that it will feel so great for your DH to know that he doens't have to take it anymore. Lots more and finally

Been thinking of you MT, over the last few days, since you said your hubby is also facing similar challenges. I hope he gets good news too. I find life changes doubly stressful with kids, cause I am always worried about how things will impact them. TBF, that picture made me laugh!!! Colton liked it too, LOL. So stinking cute!!! Thanks for cheering me up.

Flashy, just because other people may be dealing with things that are more "serious" it doesn't diminish the pain/frustration/annoyance/fear or whatever you may be dealing with, so gripe away! I hope Mr. Flashy keeps his job long enough for you to get the offer, get started on the venture, then say "bugger off!!!!" to his job when the time is right! |

thanks FG, his news will not be life changing like yours, but it is still desparately needed and hopefully I will be able to let everyone here know soon enough. I am hoping and praying for you, but at least you know this is something you CAN do even if not with this particular property, or at this particular time. |

Jingles for everyone having a tough day. I'll even whisper a little prayer for those of you for whom that sort of thing matters.

Thanks guys..... and MT you are right, if not this property, we can do another one. Crossing fingers for your hubby. Funny about the prayer, RR.... my grandma that just passed was deeply religious. While I went to Catholic schools all the way through college, I am not sure how I feel about religion sometimes. (ok, a lot of the time.) but today I got a message on my phone that I swear was straight from my g-ma. I never heard the phone ring, but noticed i had a voicemail from this morning. I checked it and it was this guy telling me that "he knew life was hard right now" but that he would add me to his prayer list and to have faith that God would sort things out. Weirdest. Voicemail. EVER. It was obviously some kind of pre-recorded message but I swear it came right from my grandma. Of course, it is also a sunny, beautiful day and the kind where I'd normally pack Colton up and head to my grandma's while Makena was at school, so that had me bummed out today too... I miss her. Anyway. Trying to have faith in "the universe" that things will in fact work themselves out, even though this kind of limbo really bites the big one right now. |

Well they got back to us, but we are 100k apart. We're already at the top of what we feel the property is worth and what it will appraise for. Kind of annoying, since we had been very blunt about our numbers, and her realtor had pushed us to make a formal offer KNOWING what our numbers were.... so it seemed like we were on the same page. Apparently not! I know we are the only interested party and we're coming up on fall/winter.... people are not shopping for a property like this in the winter up here. Our realtor is going to call theirs this morning. Maybe he can get somewhere. I have the world's worst headache this morning. |

I would think qualified buyers for a property like this would be few and far between, especially going into the winter. I mean, if she wants to sit on it and continue paying to maintain it for six months, that's her deal, but if it's going to appraise a lot closer to your offer than to her price, she needs to be realistic: She could be waiting a very long time if she's not negotiable and she's limited to cash buyers. Hang in there and keep thinking on this. I wonder if part of her has it valued the way it is because it's personal to her; her livelihood and life was so wrapped up in this property for so long that it's hard for her to think of it JUST as a business transaction. HUGS. To you and Mr. FG ... I know what it's like to be married to a guy who's just DONE with his current job and its shenanigans. Be kind to yourselves and each other right now, and just wait and see what happens after another month of no interest. |
