I'm still trying to get over the fact that right now (9:28 am) we would have been closing on our current house and then closing on the new house at 10. And that we would be MOVING to a new house tomorrow and now...nothing. I am so torn because there are some really great things about staying here but at the same time, I was already making plans in the other house. If we stay here we will be spending a lot less on a mortgage and will have money to make a lot of changes to the bathroom and the kitchen for sure. But we're still out an extra room for the kids which I know isn't horrible but I just don't see this house working when the kids are like 8, 10 and 12...especially with two girls sharing a room.
Now there are issues with an amendment to the original contract because those dates no longer apply. If the amendment isn't signed by both parties by 5 this evening, the whole thing could fall through and we'd have to start over. Plus our loan (and the great rate we locked into) will expire at the end of the month. You may be reading this thinking it is not really an issue and can be easily resolved...I would think that too if our buyer wasn't currently out of the country right now. We tried to set the closing dates for last week so he'd still be in town but no one could turn the paperwork around that quickly so we had to settle for this week and he's already left.
It is not the end of the world if we stay here but I'm tired of waiting with half my house packed up! It's difficult on the kids and they don't understand why mommy is so stressed out and why half of every one's stuff is in boxes.
