The weekend is over

[bellatrix]

We went to look at the new house today, just the outside since we can't get in yet. I can't wait for moving day. We plan to put so much work into this house, and while somewhat daunting, I'm super excited.

Hoping to get some kind of word that the appraisal went well today & we're clear to close on our house. Their stupid realtor put Friday as the date for them to get their funds, etc in escrow & Saturday for closing. That is most likely not happening. When we signed our realtor said it's most likely going to be Monday since the courts aren't open on weekends but we haven't been getting any updates on their loan process & since they just got the appraisal who knows if the original closing date is even going to work for their bank. They're using some credit union & it seems slow compared to us that are clear to close on the house we're buying that we just need our closing statement on the house we're selling & we're two weeks out. Like come on.

The home buying process is so much quicker where you are NamasteBirches! We are still 3 weeks out from closing.

lucky!! we're going to be homeless for like a week+ if it goes according to what the original contracts have it listed as lol
& the stupid seller of our new house wants 5 days after closing before giving us possession. I think once everything is said & done & our house is actually sold we're going to have our realtor push her & say if you can please gtfo a little sooner, they are kinda sorta homeless. Gahhhhh
I'm actually hoping our buyers closing gets delayed a little so we have a little leeway with this & pushing us closer to the new house's closing. 
I need a vacation.

well it's because we found the house too late. :/ we were already under contract a week+ with our house.
we were searching & searching. The market just sucked, homes were flying off the shelves. It was our 3rd house we put an offer on. 3rd luck's a charm but damn do we have to work for it to get in. 

[NamasteBirches]

aaaaaaaaaaand closing is delayed on the sale of our house. Hopefully we're talking just days here so that our new house isn't affected in any way.
The positive is that we're at least with a roof over our head for a little while longer but hopefully this all doesn't go to shit.
That's what happens when you use some credit union like they are.

In non-house related stuff, after today DS has two more days of camp. Thursday, they are going to the amusement park. Before all of this, we were initially going to make a day of it & go with him but since it is in the middle of chaos, we're going to skip out. Luckily, DS is alright with this. We promised we would go after we moved. Right before the last day of school, we played hooky & went there anyway so he's also had his fill of it as well.
So anyway on Thursday I'm going to plan something fun for him & I do. He suggested the trampoline place but the last time we went there we were hardly there an hour before he complained about how loud it was so we'll see. I'm honestly just glad to be done with camp even though I like the free time.

So much house happenings! Hope everything goes smoothly for everyone!

I have a cold, twisted my ankle and am finishing at a great company after 10 years so I am feeling rather sorry for myself. Giving myself a day or two to wallow in self-pity then its time to get excited about the new job and opportunities. Planning a few fun thing with DD in my time off between jobs and getting some alone shopping time when I ship her off to half-day gymnastics camp.

[bellatrix]

Hugs loveswaffles! Best of luck in your new job!

[NamasteBirches]

@chair good luck with your XH & good luck with your new job loveswaffles!!

[bellatrix]

We met my neighbor's newborn today. I still have zero desire to have another, but it was very sweet watching DD hold him, hug & kiss him. She kept saying she loves him.❤️

[bellatrix]

@chair I can see why you got away from him. *Hugs*

[NamasteBirches]

@chair I'm sure she'll see the light at some point. I'm a dork that watches Dr. Phil & he has a saying that goes if he cheats with you, it's only a matter of time until he cheats on you soooo....
it's good you took out the trash early on so you don't waste any more years.

[NamasteBirches]

It's the last day of camp for DS. Technically it's tomorrow but they're meeting way early in the morning to head to the amusement park which he's not going to. There's no way I trust them for his care from 8am-8pm to just send him on his own & ditch the idea of all of us going so that's that.
This camp has been agitating me though. This year they have stepped up their game with doing these little day trips around town, etc but it's only been with the older groups & I don't find it fair. The only additional thing DS' age group has done is a library trip (wow.)
The one group up from his has done the fire station, the library as well, McD's for ice cream, this historical place we have in town for some old timey games, an old timey bakery we have in town for a lesson on candy making with some sweets tasting from the owner, a trip to the radio station, the pizza place to make & eat pizza, & they just went to the town square to paint these big rocks that people usually take turns painting. That last one DS is specifically pissed about bc he has always inquired about how to paint one. Like wtf. How is that fair? The 6-7s (& even the 4-5s but I understand those kids are too little) were royally screwed this summer.

[NamasteBirches]

OMG they lost DS' tie dye shirt. BUT OF FREAKING COURSE we would end it like this.
& they asked a million times if I brought in a shirt & if I wrote his name on it. No, I'm effing lying! I hate being spoken down to like a damn idiot especially by some college aged person & then the director became involved & though nice, I was pissed so I couldn't hold back my attitude. Sorry.
Like wtf.
Then the camp leader had to throw in that one year they lost her shirt. Like OKAY?! AND!??????? It's always MY kid though! Like he was specifically targeted this summer. So then they said some bs bull about how some names got smeared off when they got washed & there was a few left over & she insisted we take another shirt & it's a freaking XL. Like gee, thanks. To me, it's the principle of the matter like where did it mysteriously vanish to?
I was beyond pissed & still am.
I hate everyone. So glad we are *hopefully* done here. It is shocking to me how the quality of everything in this damn town has rapidly declined in the years we have been here.

[loveswaffles]

I’m sorry NamasteBirches!

[NamasteBirches]

It's basically first day of summer break here. Lol & DS just woke up a few minutes ago. Praise be. 🙏
Trying to decide what should we do today. He expressed some interest before in the trampoline place but last time we went, we were hardly there an hour before he was complaining about how crowded & loud it was. They have sensory nights & I've wanted to try that one time so Idk if I want to try it again at a regular time. Then I was thinking going to see Hotel Transylvania but last time we went to the movies he was SOOO squirmy & asking if it was going to be over soon so Idk about that either. but then again that was The Incredibles & I looked it up & it was over 2 hours + that mini movie so it was actually a lot longer than typical kid movies which I had a feeling sitting there like damn, this is a long movie. Hotel Transylvania is just a little over 1.5 so I do remember looking at the time thinking at that point, we probably would have been good with DS if the movie was over so that's also a possibility.
Right now he's content with the legos that he didn't put away yesterday so I'll capitalize on that for now.

So we FINALLY got word that the appraisal came back good & we're just waiting on the clear to close for our house we're selling.
BUT..
this morning we had a surveyor show up to the door from the title company & say hi, I'm just gonna be here for 20 minutes measuring the outside easy peasy. Ok.
Well it was about 40-45 minutes before he left & I was watching him at our fence multiple times shaking his head, looking frustrated, measuring, re-measuring, walking back & forth, writing things, doing something on his phone... so I have no effing idea what is up.
When we first moved in, we had to continue fencing our property off to have it completely private but we just went off of how it was already lined up. DH wants to measure things when he gets home because if there's any kind of discrepancy, we're not doing jack squat. If they want to stir the pot with everyone in the neighborhood, be my guest but everyone has had their fences up for years before we've lived here. If things are encroaching on our property, we've lived for almost 5 years with no issues. The yard is waaaaayyy big enough as is to not start shit.
So now this is something else that we have to see & wait if we are going to hear something about.
