Nobody's home

Well- we have an offer.  The one thing that I have been waiting on and praying for for 6 weeks now.  It's bittersweet for so many reasons.

Bitter:
- It's kind of a crappy offer.  They offered, we countered, they rejected our counteroffer and stuck with their crappy one.  Grrr.
- Being a crappy offer means we have to bring a lot of money to the table.  A lot of money= $17,000.  We= my dad and I. Grrrrrr.
- It's the end of an era.  That house means so much to me in so many ways.  Sigh.

Sweet:
- No more running over there to get the dog out for a showing, no more dust mopping, vacuuming and polishing before a showing, no more agonizing over said showings.  Yay!
- It cuts a tie within me that needs to be cut.  After closing, I hope I won't lose as much sleep over Prince Charming's decisions. If he gets another DUI, it affects him.  Not me.  If he wants to have a blow out party, it's at his house, not mine. 
- It's the end of an era. 

So now we just hold our breath for the appraisal and inspection.  Hopefully we'll make it to closing without being nickeled and dimed the whole way.

On a karma-related note... they want to close on PC's birthday. Dem's da breaks. Hate it for ya.
