Please, NO!!!!
Well, I’ve had another sleepless night, boy, do they get tiresome ( no pun intended ). I thought I might sleep well last night with hubby home but I didn’t. My mind is just racing as fast as it can go. I can’t shut it down. That’s NOT a good sign for me. It can be a precursor of bad things to come!! I’m finding that everyday my stress level goes up a bit. I’m really trying to stay positive, you know talk the talk, walk the walk and it will help. Well, sometimes it just doesn’t. It is just a mask you put on for others and a way to fool yourself. It just seems like one bad thing after another has been happening, or not bad necessarily but adds stress. I’m at the point right now that I truly regret putting the house on the market. I am only committed to the deal until Sept 16 and then I can back out with out penalty. Unless, something miraculous happens, I think I’ll just take it off the market. After all I love my home. Yes, it still needs on going renos but that’s okay. Maybe I’ll get a line if credit at the bank and do some if the more expensive repairs. After all they pre-approved a mortgage for a heck of a lot more than I’d be looking for in a line of credit. We’ll see!!!! The latest in my negative karma is that as I was cleaning the livingroom yesterday I happened to look up at the ceiling. And there was this circular white and black spot the size of a stove pipe. I thought maybe the chimney had leaked with all of the wind and rain. Anyway, long story short.. It is the upstairs shower pipe leaking. It has never happened before but then again my daughter has been here and so the shower is getting double use everyday. And she takes long.... showers. Michael said it may simply be the seal has dried out. If it’s the pipe leaking that’s a major reno!!! ripping up floors or ceilings or both depending on where the pipe is. Needless to say we have to get it repaired and the painting done today just in case someone wants to see the house. That would be just my luck!!! Oh, yah, woe is me. Sorry about the bitch/complain session gals but I know you’ll put up with me.Well, it’s 5:17, I think I might try to go back to bed and at least lay down for an hour or so. I hope each of you finds a precious moment to cherish today. Debbie

RELAX.... debbie...... you will be okay..... HUGS.....
O dear Debbie, it always seems that everything happens at once but maybe it just seems that way when we are soooo tired. I pray you can sleep. And the house thing - do what\'s ever best for you - you don\'t need added stress. blessings x0 mary
Honey just too much too fast. One step at a time. The pipe thing seems horrible but it just may not be that bad. Cammomile tea soetimes works for restless nights. Remember GOd doesn\'t hand you things that put you through hell for no reason. There will be a big posotive at the end of this negative. I truly hope your day is better.
I hope you calm dowm, feel better and get some sleep. We have a spot on the ceiling too and are not sure if it the toilet or the shower unstairs, but I said no repairs till late fall,then tear down the ceiling. I would like to repaint the dining room anyway, thinking trendy since I am so matchy. Maybe you house not selling all happened for a reason, and you never know there is still some time left. It is good you are alright with it not selling too. Love Naomi xo
Oh Deb, there always seems to be something, doesn\'t there? And without sleep eveything is worse.
I hope you get some sleep soon.
Gentle hugs, Cathy
Relax and try to remember that even if everything goes wrong with the sale of the house it won\'t be the end of the world because deep down you really love that house and are comfortable there. Think of the redo\'s like taking an old friend for a face lift, the heart is still good and you love it, just want some spiffying up in places.
I\'m with ya on the sleep thing, I haven\'t been sleeping too good myself. Stay up all night then sleep for a few hours and do it again. Just trying to get things done, and things are never all done.
