Waiting
UUgghh... I despise waiting. When I sit in traffic I wait. The frusteration with traffic has nothing to do with other cars, its waiting for them to move! When I have to go to the doctor or take my kids to the doctor I have to wait. Waiting in the Waiting room hoping the Dr. didn't get called away on some emergency. I found out that the receptionist won't even tell you if the Dr. had to leave she lets you sit there and WAIT! Those last 2-3 weeks of pregnancy!! UUghhhg after everthing for the baby is ready. The novelty of being pregnant was over WWAAAAAY before! The excitement of seeing the baby but NO you have to wait.I understand completely that waiting is part of life. Well, I'm waiting again, and i swear every time I have to wait it gets harder.
The situation that Im in now is this:
We found a house that we love. On 2.5 acres 4+ bedrooms and 2.5 bath.
It's perfect for us! All the kids rooms open up to their own playroom!
Anyway, they had a couple of offers on the house. One they dismissed, the other they are negotiating with. After flying home and talking it over with my dad and realtor down here, I thought the house is gone.
What are we going to do? DH can't take anymore time off of work! Then Thurs. I call our realtor up in Wash. he told me that he and my dad where writing an offer and it should be in by Fri. morning. Again, the waiting! Everything is being done out of state so It takes longer. But i am extremely grateful for one thing! Fax machines!! Imagine the wait if we didn't have those!!! The owners of the house have until tonight to accept or negotiate with us. So I will be sitting here waiting all day long. Going crazy. Hopefully this nervous energy will help me in getting the house clean today.
But than more waiting because the other offer has a chance to come back with another offer. So all this weekend I will be WAITING!!!!!!
I have to do a lot of praying and meditating. 
There are a couple of things that make me confident they will accept our offer:
1.Our offer is full price 2.The other offer is contigent on the sale of their house and ours isn't.
This weekend is going to be so hard. I'm tempted to crawl in bed until Monday morning but I know that will make the wait seem longer. At least if stay busy cleaning it will feel like it went quicker!
I am going to come back in check in with all the girls when I need to "focus on the positive".
Until then Happy cleaning and Happy waiting! LOL Yeah right!

I SO know the feeling! Half
I SO know the feeling! Half my life is spent waiting also. . . waiting for the kids, waiting for DH, waiting til I get the money, waiting my turn. . the doctors office waiting is the worst!
The best way to keep your sanity is to keep busy with something else while you are waiting. Anything else.
Good luck on getting your house. Sounds like the perfect place for anyone with kiddos.
it's 3:41pm PST
Nothing yet! MIL called the listing agent and asked questions like she was interested in buying the house. The only info she got was that it is sold. MIL then told agent that she thought it was contingent and the agent said the contingent people had to come in within 24 hours with all the funds. I am trying to figure out what that means. Meanwhile I get a call from Wa agent and he says he hasnt heard anything and that they have until 9pm to give us an answer. So we only have 5 hours and 13 minutes to go. Thats the latest we have to wait!!
Thanks Fern! Believe it or not you helped me breathe. DH isn't helping! Poor guy is more nervous than I am. I knew I could count on someone to help me and keep me from going crazy.
O.K gotta go CLEAN and WAIT!!!!!

Please send good "house hunting" vibes our way!
Aw Shoot!
Amee, I feel your pain! I was sick to my stomach when I saw you didn't get your house. We moved last summer, in the process we bid on and lost SIX houses to outbidding, bad inspections, etc. Man was it painful! In the end we took a house we thought was just settling for something and it has turned out to be the perfect haven a home should be. Incredible neighbors, good friends and a place to feel that warm fuzzy, sigh, "oh good I'm home" feeling!
It will all work out, you'll see. Good luck vibes coming your way!

Maybe we...............
still have a chance. I found out late last night that they didnt turn down the offer just let it expire and that the sellers gave the contingent offer until Friday May 7th to come up with the $. So my realtor said we still have a 50/50 chance!
Let you guys know if anything happens!
Thank you all for your "good vibes"
