Life, Interrupted.

It's been a while since I posted on here, but things have just been too crazy to deal with lately. Working 18 hours a day, 7 days a week for a month straight...plus trying to have a baby..and now we're in the mist of trying to buy a house.

We found a house just over a week ago that we loved. We got pre-approved and put in an offer. I just told you about 1 weeks worth of shit we've been doing in 2 sentences, and yet, it has consumed every minute of my day for a week. Buying a house is the most stressful thing I've ever been through and I fucking hate it! It's too much of everything and it's brutal. I'm a simple gal and I don't like "playing games" but that's what you get when you get a counter-offer. And when the counter-offer is bullshit and a slap in the face. Our excitement of buying our first home has turned into a nightmare and we're about to put that nightmare to rest this week (if not in the next 12 hours).

The realtor is coming over tonight to see if we want to counter-offer, and I really don't want to. Their counter-offer said that they want to live in the house a full month AFTER the closing and "rent free". How can anyone even ASK that??!!! That's fucked up!! That's rude, and it's a slap in the face. I would never even DREAM of doing something like that!! What's worse is, we've met the seller and he seemed (at the time) to be a very nice guy. But that quickly faded today when we got the counter-offer.

So, needless to say, we have put "trying" to have a baby on hold. Hell, with all the stress I'm under, I'd be shocked if I could even get pregnant!

That's another reason why I'd rather just put off finding a house until January..I wanna start a family and our apartment is more than fine for us right now (2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms).

I'll post the ending result of the house bullshit on here. But I'm pretty sure we're gonna turn them down and be done with it all.

XOXO,
J.
