..the continuation of buying a house...

Ok, so, today was supposed to be our closing day on our new house. But no. Its not that easy, never. ever. This was our day...
Went to bed unsure of the results of the appraisal (which was done last Friday and results were to be given to the bank in 24 hrs of appraisal..but of course it was not given within 24 hrs..hence the delay from the bank)
The roof needs to be replaced, we know that we have savings for it....but the bank led us to believe last night we might need wayyy more than we have in savings to put in escrow (what ever that is). So we went to bed worrying, praying, and wondering if in fact this house was the house and if we were supposed to be moving into and buying.

Woke up...the closing was to be at 10...I should have signed my life away 10 times over but no. The appraisal isn't back to the bank yet.

We spent 5 hrs wondering around our boxed up apartment...praying, and waiting for the phone to magically ring and say *ok u can close at 3 today cause everything is fine...* but the phone didn't ring with that to say.

Finally around 3 we find out that nope the bank has to push back our closing date to Tuesday....but there is a slight problem in THEIR plan...the movers are coming tomorrow as in Friday to move our stuff to the new house that we won't now own till Tuesday...

Had to reschedule the movers for Wednesday...

Now here are my problems...
I took off work today, Fri, Mon, Tues and Wed. Crap. So I called work at told them I'd be in on Fri. and Mon. That means we'll have 2 days to move our crap b4 I have to be back at work and the apartment has to be inspected...

And no Drew...Drew has to start his new position at work on Mon and has to be around the hospital next week...so who gets to deal with movers and boxes and heaviness and furniture...the girl with the pacemaker who can't lift squat gets to do all this...oh yeah...so I am glad the bank scheduled how and when we were going to move...
