Just Throw Money at It - It'll Go Away

So the buyers of my house and I are still "negotiating" over inspection issues. If we all get through this unscathed it would be a true miracle. Apparently the ball is in my attorney's court right now. Still waiting to see how it all plays out.

In the meantime we picked out wood and colors and carpets for the new house. Oh yeah, and got the estimate! Yikes! I made the mistake of letting my 4 year old pick out the color for his room. He was adamant that it be red. Not a nice brick red or burgundy mind you, no, this had to be bright fire engine, blood red. Luckily the baby is not old enough yet to know what he wants so I chose a nice denim blue for his room. With all the "cosmetic" improvements we want to make on the house, I am going to have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it. That which doesn't kill us makes us poorer I say.

Our garage sale is scheduled for this Saturday. Unfortunately, this Saturday is supposed to hold thunderstorms. And I convinced 3 other families to get in on this with me. They should have known better. We have no rain date scheduled either. Oops. Hoepfully, the rain will hold off until later in the day. I am going to be selling a lot of Magician's baby things but I don't know, the thought of haggling over things that were so precious to him just disgusts me. I don't know how I am going to be able to sell those things. I am pretty sure at this point that my family is complete - but still... The maternity clothes on the other hand I have absolutely no problem getting rid of. Go figure.

Well, I'm not really in the mood to be witty today so I guess I will end this right here.
