I posted a few that I saw on my moblog. The houses are so expensive. But I know that that is the case there. It is going to be very hard for us to find a house in our budget I think and get very much further north. *SIGH* I noticed a pattern, probably knew it before but anyway, reminded me. I like space. And I like the idea of getting a house that doesn’t need a lot of maintenance. We looked at one… WHEW… I’d have to put all new molding throughout plus paint the place and a bunch of other stuff. Sir M isn’t the most handy and into that sort of thing, so no thank you.
I’m not sure what we are going to do. I’m very worried. Sir M did say that we could maybe live in Fredericksburg or Stafford since the Pentagon isn’t a bad drive. But that haul to Chantilly is bad. I guess once we tackle things more seriously, we’ll see what we can do. *SIGH* He also talks about not buying, renting. Well I hear that. I’m so frustrated at home-ownership right now. But the realtor couldn’t find any rentals. They go just so fast, even faster than the homes.
I’ll keep an eye on things though. What a nightmare. I hate moving!
We looked at homes all day. How exhausting!

ah, man, i’m sorry that it doesn’t seem to be going so great. *prays* all i can do is wish you luck. house shopping (and selling) is so hard. when we were looking, it didn’t seem like we could find an appropriately priced house that could suit us at all. keep your eye out for rentals, i suppose. how quick some must go! gah! lol
i know what you mean, when you say low-maintenance, my hubby is not the handiest, either. his knowledge helps some, but still, i am only physically capable of so much. good luck to you, hon. i really hope ya’ll find something that will work, even if its temporary.

I found a wonderful house… great location and price… but I can’t bid it because of stinking no contract on my house. That annoyed me. *SIGH*

ah, man, that’s even worse! just what you needed, to be further annoyed! does that mean that there is almost no point to looking until something happens with your house? thanks for replying, i hadn’t heard from you in a bit, though i knew you were having fun and being busy.

Yeah I was having trouble with my connection at my parents. Plus I was so busy. So I’m gonna work on backdating some entries. I actually got home on Monday night but drove through fog/monsoon and was exhausted. And talk about all week fatigue… HEHE I’ll get to work on updating… 🙂 Sorry if I worried you… ((HUGS))

regardless of where you are looking. Good luck on your hunt. Buy don’t rent. If you need a reminder of why not to rent I can tell you all the horrors of my cali landlord again.

lol, i know the feeling. when i am not living in the past, i spend a lot of time ‘in-the-now’.
i was telling a friend of mine, and i thought it appropriate to say here, that i have been getting the feeling that i should relax a lil, because God has a plan, and i doubt he’ll have me stepping outside it. i didn’t put it exactly that way, but heck! it feels like He is telling me not to stress about situations beyond my control. rofl, i guess im trying to share the serenity prayer?

I hear ya… that’s what I keep reminding myself. The Lord has a plan. I just gotta wait for it to play out. I just wish the plan would play out NOW! But he’s the big guy and so I need to trust Him.
I also keep telling myself “At least it ain’t a year.” And also “I can leave any time.” I’m just trying to be “sensible” and let the kids finish school.
It is hard right now though because I’m not sleeping. I’m tired but I shut the lights out and I get immediately creeped out. I don’t know why. And I just sit there in the dark alone and freak. So I wake up a few hours later to get kids ready for school and I’m just tired. So tired. And I drag all day. Until the night.

i hate to keep saying i understand you, lol. but i am physiologically wired that way, myself, like a natural insomniac. i don’t know, i know, left to my own devices, i would probably not go to bed until i was literally falling down asleep. i used to have a hard time with laying awake at night (before i married). it seems like i will do anything, prolong anything, just so i can not lay down. but i love to sleep!! i could sleep, like, 14 hours straight, easily. gah!!!! *tries not to hate self*
