Can you sense from the title of my post that I'm starting to get frustrated? I mean come on, it's not like we've been sitting around waiting for this house sale to go through for months. Oh, wait a minute that's exactly what we've been doing.
It's funny how a seemingly innocent e-mail, meant to keep us informed has got me so irritated. This afternoon, I happened to be thinking that we should get our usual update today or tomorrow. When I saw the ping of new e-mail on my phone I took a peak at the subject lines appearing at the top of the screen and saw the house address attached to an e-mail from our Realtor's assistant. Yippee! Not so it seems. I started to read and actually put my phone down and decided I needed to read this on the computer so I could make sure I was reading the e-mail correctly.
I like to think we've been pretty patient up to this point. A lot patient for that matter. I think that's changing. The e-mail was just to let us know that the bank requested information from the lawyer and listing agent on a Friday evening with the deadline for response being Sunday morning. How many lawyers do you know that work on the weekend? Anyway, I assume the deadline was missed and the lawyer had to call the bank and ask them to extend the deadline as it had been unreasonable. The bank agreed and here we are waiting for the listing agent to update the house listing and then for the lawyer to upload it to this Equator system. All the while things are delayed once again.
I think that I should just forget about planning what I'd like to do with the kids when we go down, because every time I start thinking about it things seem to go awry. So chances of us getting to see Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party, The Osbourne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights or even Grinchmas at Islands of Adventure are pretty slim. Maybe I'll plan on seeing Transformers the ride! For those not in the know, it's Universal Orlando's new dark ride coming Summer 2013. Ha! for that matter why don't I just say we'll go down when the Harry Potter expansion is finished and that date hasn't even been announced!
Putting this all down on virtual paper actually makes me feel better. Since I'm not a beer drinker I can't cry in any, and I'm not in Orlando so there's no Butterbeer here either. So that kind of moping is out. I'm thinking of a quote one of my favourite Princesses "A dream is a wish your heart makes", but even that's not helping my outlook today. I think what we have to look forward to at this point is paperwork. Fingers crossed that once they upload the listing we'll be back on track...maybe...hopefully.....
