Weekends and Decisions

Like everyone, I love the weekends. Even when they fly by, I am forever grateful for them. After finally getting into my groove at the school on Friday, I came home for a relaxing weekend. It was the first weekend that we did NOT have to get the house ready to show by the realtors. We have negotiations going on, but I'm not going to give details yet so I won't "jinx" anything!

Over the last couple of weeks I have realized that I'm again waking up with vicious headaches each morning that last until about noon. It has been a long time, but the memory came back that it was a headache from my old jaw injury - due to clenching my jaws all night long even while wearing my night guard. Thanks again to JV for all that pain. ugh. I started taking the medication that helped with that and was able to wake up headache free today. Funny thing about this medication is that EVERYONE says "oh, you'll lose weight on that." Um, no. That has never happened.

For the first time in our married life of seventeen years, Steve was in a "funk" yesterday. It was really over trying to make decisions about the sale of the house. It really is such a difficult process. It's not like we do this every day or anything. No one can really know what to do. It's a shot in the dark. And it is often just a small window of time to make the decision before the opportunity is gone! When one of those opportunities flew out the window, he has continued to beat himself up about it. I think we just had to learn from it and move on. Not sure why it didn't bother me more than it did. I'm usually the whiner. For real. Thought I would tell you all that in case you didn't know already. Basically I have never seen him like that so it made it hard to know how to react to it. I even bought a six pack of his favorite beer and he didn't touch it last night! Whew!
Today he is better. Thank goodness. The sun has come out and things are looking better. We have two houses that we will have to decide between. I would love to live in either of them. One is priced over what we have planned to spend and the owner would have to come down...but it is move in ready. (or is it called "turn key" these days?) The other one is a great price but would need some things done to make it right for us. We've even made a spreadsheet for the positive and negative aspects of each. Yes, I know we are psycho.

My mom was so funny the other day when I told it that we might have our house sold but wasn't sure what house we would be buying. She said, "I just know your house will sell in a matter of days and then you will be wondering what you are going to do next...and that will give you something new to worry about." I thought, "and bitch about, too?" Probably so. haha...and thus the name of my blog, right???
