Ah, msbelle. That sounds like a truly craptastic start of the week. I hope it gets better.

OK, I have to geek out a little here, because I don't want to post on FB till it's a done deal, and we should know by tonight. So the house I'm asking the -ma for?
3 bedrooms, which we wanted: a master and a bedroom for The Kiddo, with these amazing closets, another bedroom which will be a home office WITHOUT any clothes or non officey stuff in it, so I can FINALLY claim it as a deduction; nice sized living room with freshly refinished dark oak floors, a pretty WORKING woodburning fireplace, a decently but not huge kitchen with plenty of storage, a range (sadly not gas, but oh, well), dishwasher, disposal, new fridge, TONS OF STORAGE CLOSETS, a finished basement WITH A BAR!!!!
A finished laundry room for our washer and dryer, a one car carage with a brand-new door opener, a driveway, a HUGE nice fenced in backyard for the Corgimeister to run around in, a little deck, but plenty of space in the yard for chairs and tables and a fire pit, and a $250 pet deposit for 4 animals.
6 minutes by car from where we live now,well-located, nice neighborhood, still in an excellent school district for middle and high schools, just in case. Enthusiastic permission to plant flowers and garden, reimbursement of materials for improvement, like repainting ironwork. 1 1/2 baths with a bathtub BIG ENOUGH I CAN FINALLY TAKE RELAXING HOT BATHS IN AGAIN!!!
There's no pics of the inside, but here's the link to the house: [link]
