Anybody want to buy a really nice 3 bedroom townhouse in Maryland? It has a great new kitchen floor, and we'll even throw in some cute looking dogs for just the right buyer! Just kidding... about the dogs I mean. They're not very cute! :)
It seems that lately I have about 100 different emotions going on all at once. I'm so anxious and excited about the upcoming birth of our son, so happy to be almost done with my job, a little nervous about moving to a new city where we don't know anyone, excited to be moving to a city where I won't have to deal with below freezing temperatures like we're having today, and mostly overwhelmed by my huge to-do list! I feel like I really shouldn't even have a to-do list right now. I should just be sitting around painting my toe nails (if I could reach them) or something glamorous, waiting on labor to start. But I'm so not. In fact, my feet are looking pretty funny these days because only the big toes have polish left on them. ANYWAYS... the reason I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed is because we just found out that we have to start getting our house ready to sell like NOW. We sort of thought we'd have some time and we sort of thought that through Eric's relocation package, they would just buy our house from us for a fair market value. Well it turns out that they will buy it from us, but only after it's on the market for 60 days. And that 60 days can't start until after the appraisal period, which means that we need to act right away. There's so much to do and even under normal circumstances (like not having a baby), it's a lot. A lot of paperwork to fill out, people to meet with, and not to mention a house to keep sparkling clean! How in the world are we going to be able to keep the house in showroom condition with a newborn and 2 dogs at home? Will I get any sleep when I feel like I have to constantly clean the house? What if the realtor calls and wants to bring people over and it's not at all convenient? Then there's the whole other factor of trying to find a new house in a new city, secure a new mortgage, etc. AND I have to find time to study for my PE exam in April. Holy moly. I guess we'll just have to deal with these things one at at time! I'm sure in the end it will all work out... right now it just seems overwhelming to say the least! But still, I'm happy and excited and I won't let a little to-do list get me down. Just writing all of this and getting it out makes me feel better already!
