So here I sit, it's nearing midnight.
Today was spent in the car. After a week of looking at homes in our new location, I am exhausted. We drove home today to a spotless house, ready to be put on the market.
Looking at homes has only made the decision more real. We are no closer to finding a home than when we left last Friday.
...
Tonight I snapped at my husband, "Thanks for the help."
Sarcasm has always been my strong suit.

I appreciate all of you sticking with me through the silence. To be honest, I barely checked my email since leaving home. My inbox overfloweth. I hesitate to add up how much time my husband and I spent in the car this week. Preliminary drive-bys were made to determine if the home was worthy of an inside visit. There are several things we don't want to waste our time with.
In our last move, I was a bit more flip about the house. We found three, I told my husband to pick whatever he wanted. I didn't care. Knowing that we are planning to be in this house for more than three years, I am putting my not-so-itty-bitty foot down.
The next couple weeks will involve finishing up some overdue projects, starting some new ones, and packing.
Oh, the packing.
But yes, I have that fancy-pants new sewing machine that I will not allow to sit idle. No sirree. I even took it with me last week and set up shop in my inlaws dining room.

Congrats on 900 posts!
Hope the house-hunting (and selling) goes well as the weather wars up!
Sounds stressful in so many ways...
Hugs. Hope you find something you can both agree on.
I am looking forward to being closer to you, but I understand there is a lot to do between now and then. Choosing a home is not an easy task. Good luck!
I don't envy you the finding a new house and packing up the old one, again. Good luck in finding something that suits your family!
I know this is a rough time, but i am so looking forward to all your future posts about redecorating....
The right one will come along, I know it. Hang in there ;)
HUGS :)
I am right there with you - and it definitely sucks! If you ever want to commisserate long-distance (virtual conversation but real alcohol in each location).....let me know....
Ugggh! House hunting is beyond stressful. Remember to breathe and that murder is illegal. (o;
