Hi my peeps,
Wanted to bang out a quick message to vent a little...ok..alot...about this selling my home stuff...

I have a lady coming back today with a host of contractors to give her estimates on what she would want done on this house if she buys it...so i have to pack up the grands and the puppies and leave for an undetermined amount of time... She wants

1. 2nd bathroom upstairs for her daughter's "wing"
2. balcony off the Master suite
3.heat upstairs
4. Central air
5 and a bathroom over the garage for the "Nanny's quarters...

OM

Yes I think she has a wee bit of hmmmm investable income...and I don't know how I feel about all of this...
She has not made an offer yet .

Keeping the house perfect is such a strain....on everyone...

my puppy has forgotten how to be housebroken....
the toilet overflowed the morning of the first showing...
it has rained for 40 days and 40 nights and i can't paint the porches in the rain...
my DS quarters over the garage had to be mucked out(literally) and scrubbed and invaded-he is emotionally disabled and this is very upsetting to him, I feel like we are displacing him...he is ok with it and has applied for Community Concepts housing....I'm not...
While I know if it sells I need to let it go whatever people want to do with it, I think I am having a hard time knowing I am being judged-27 years of our lives is being judged by strangers-withNannies-
On the amazing oh boy side, DH and I decided on house plans yesterday so when it does sell, we can move forward, hired a contractor Saturday, someone who did our kitchen and master in 91 very good builder and we are comfortable with that...

Ok, I think I am done...Thanks everyone....
love,
kate

Wow Kate! That is overwhelming! I would be a little upset as well. If you have been there 27 years all your family memories are there, so hearing that someone is going to change everything is a lot to take!

On the flip side, it is exciting that you are going to build! I would love to have the opportunity to do that! It will be nice to have your personal touch in every part of your new home!

Have fun with the grands and puppies. Hopefully you aren't inconvenienced for to long!

oh, kate, boy I can imagine how that must be stressful, and knowing she might be changing what you've worked so hard at making your home "Perfect". and then making sure your DS is all set too. All because of gas and oil prices...on another note, you aren't the only one, so many people are loosing thier homes or trying to sell because of the same reason. it is so sad, I know you have worked your whole life to be at a comfy stage in your life, retire, have your house paid off. Ya! Right. I don't plan ahead, cause I know it could change at any minute. My DH does, but I ignore him. It is very scary. good luck and how exciting on your new design. what about land??? Many HUGS for you today. We Love you, Cheryl

G'morning Kate...WOW !! you sure are having a "Monday" !!
This lady sounds like she just stepped off a Hollywood set...

Saying you are feeling "Stressed Out" would be an understatement !!
27 years is a long time and I'm sure you've made it a wonderful home for you and your family...
BUT at the same time...a brand new house that you get to turn into a home...who knows, you may even decide to put a balcony of your own on your Master Suite !!

Take care Kate...and the best of luck to you !!

WOW! You have such an investment in that home (emotional as well as financial) and having that "judged" by an outsider......I'd day that's stressful! This economy is definitely making people do things that we wouldn't ordinarily do! I'm sorry that you have to go through this whole thing BUT....building something new is a great experience to look forward to!! Do you know the song by David Bowie...."Changes"......You are going through many right now!!!!!! Good luck and keep venting if you need to!!!!! hugs and honks!!!!!!! Ruth

Hi Kate,

Memories are a wonderful thing..hold tight to them!! My best friend who passed away several years ago, suddenly at 34...always had a saying..."making memories" weather it was good or bad....

God has a plan for you....and who knows what adventure lies ahead!! I can definatley relate to your feelings with your son. My son moved out last year to go to college...and we moved to a new house....and his room was in the unfinished basement...I felt like such a shmuck. But my father and husband remind me...hes growing up..and needs to find his way...no matter what their constraints are...we need to learn to let go a little at a time....VERY HARD!!

Hugs and honks coming your way!!
Love,
Melissa

I hope the house tour went well and this lady plunks down some cash to purchase your home.
It is un-nerving to hear that your perfect home could be changed. Your fond memories of the past 27 years can't be changed. Cherish them.
