OMG!

so we’ve been praying and hoping someone puts in a contract on our house here in Baltimore so we can move faster.   we had been working w/ someone who gave a full price offer but wanted closing cost help, but she was taking weeks to get her paperwork filed.  so our realtor called tonight and said the most recent people to look want to offer us $50,000 less than the listing price.  we’ve done a ton of work to our home and it’s listed at what it appraised for in June, and I know it does need some cosmetics, but the people said it needs a lot of work to make it livable.  I know our home is livable, I wouldnt be here if it wasnt.  not livable, get real!   I laughed when she said how much they wanted to offer us.  granted I dont love this house, but the price they want is less than some townhouses would go for in a few mile radius of our home.   we have a single family w/ a huge yard….argh.   part of me says settle, that we need to sell fast, but we need to at least get what we said we were going to put down on this new house, and w/ $50,000 off the listing price we’d have to give $10,000 less on the new home and wouldnt have any extra money to use to move with.   I dont know what to do.  we arent going to accept their ridiculous offer, but we need to decide how much lower than listing we’d be able to do and still get with what we need to keep the contract on our new home.  i dont want to lose a potential buyer but really, $50,000 off listing price?!?!   and not livable!??!  I dont want to be greedy but that would be far less than market value on this home, in any condition.   ugh….

bo threw up all over the sofa tonight.  he throws up several times a week, I really think we need to get the dr to look into it, it cant be healthy, and it’s getting annoying cleaning up throw up when I’m by myself w/ 3 grouchy kids and w/ the way I’m feeling.   plus I cant imagine he feels well when he’s throwing up that often.

as always, fun times at the mckenzie household….meanwhile , Deans out playing games, seriously I am so frustrated.  did I mention he told me the wrong date for calebs appt which was, well he said for today at 10:30, I showed up w/ kids in tow to be told the appt was yesterday.   so Caleb still hasnt had his hearing checked.   he’s not on the top of my list…i keep calling him so we can discuss selling our house and he said he’s busy, playing a freaking game while i clean up throw up and deal w/ the realtor.  really, I am not a happy camper, and I feel like crap too.   AAAAAHHHHHH!!!
