BACK TO LIFE - BACK TO REALITY
Reality struck all too quick. The night before I left for home, I found out that our basement had gotten a little bit of water in it after the last large snow fall! This wouldn't be too bad except for the fact that our house is under contract and we are to be settling March 30th!! Out of the 3 yrs we've been there, we never had problems and then we have one a few weeks before settlement! Our buyers, to say the least, were not thrilled to hear about this. We had waterproofers come to the house for recommendations. It was suggested that we put a whole drainage system in our basement and sub-pump to prevent water from ever making it in the basement again. We got the go ahead from the buyers..and well, there went a few thousand dollars!! blah! S0o just as we think everything is fine and dandy.. we moved most od our stuff from our house to stay with my Uncle Ed temporarily. Friday, we got a call from our buyers. They sound up in the air about the transaction! I am so frustrated with this situation! I don't think I would ever recommend FSBO. We gave our buyers 6 months to find buyers, we are letting them move into our house a week early w/out reimbursement, we've let them come into the house atleast a dozen times with family, maintenance personnel, etc, put in a 20 yr backed drainage system.. and now it may all fall through! Talk about wanting this situation to come to an end!! Not to mention, we had a settlement which fell through last month due to their buyers backing out!! So needless to say, we are playing the waiting game to see what happens in the end.
Along with our house being sold, Michael had surgery last week to have a fistula removed and he is doing well with recovery. I have accepted a job working at Countrywide with Andy, my brother-in-law. One day Andy called me up and said that his boss wanted to sit down and talk to me about a position. I typed up a new resume and eventually sat down with the boss where I was offered a position. After much talking, Michael and I came to the conclusion that I should accept the position. . knowing we would be enrolling Alexandra in pre-k this year and Isabel next year, that I could use the experience on my resume if I would be finishing my degree to be in pharm. sales in the near future, and that they help pay for school! We enrolled the girls in a school that was highly recommended in the area. I started my job Friday where we left early due to the snow!! So, if anyone needs a loan.. i'm your man.. or woman!! lol!
